I know, I know- it's way too early to even speak out the word "Christmas", but it's nice to anticipate a big and exciting event, isn't it? Besides, I want to be 100% ready when the 2012 countdown begins- I have this weird habit of saving up some special products only to start using them on the 1st of January :P
Dior Amber Diamond powder: it's been like 1,5 year since I first heard about this beauty over at
theGlossGoss, and it's
still in my wishlist! I think it's about time I crossed it off my list, don't you think?
A red matte lipstick by Mac: I'm torn between Russian Red, Ruby Woo or Lady Danger... It's so hard to pick just one! Any recommendations, please?
Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation: As much as I hate having duplicates of foundations, concealers, powders, etc., I'm starting to realise that a girl needs to have 2 different foundations at hand: one offering light coverage for daytime and the other with a medium to full coverage for evenings out or when the skin's condition really needs it. This Bourjois foundation falls under the 2nd category; word has got around that it smells like my beloved
Chanel Bronze Universel!!!
The Body Shop new Shimmer Cubes: I've already purchased the top right palette and got nothing but good things to say about it! 2 more shimmer cubes to snatch until Christmas!
A new perfume: ahhh, there's so many new scents to choose from! Although I desperately want to try out the new Aqua di Gioia Essenza; I've always been a fan of the Armani perfumes, with Aqua dio Gio (the men's cologne) being my favourite. Can't wait to have a peek at the new perfume sets, too!
Fancy candles: For once, I'd like to step away from the generic Ikea candles, please! The ones pictured above are reasonably priced- for a fancy candle, that is! Nothing like the Diptyque candles' price tag- 46+ euros? Hell no to that!!!
What's in your Christmas wishlist? Do share!

The dior thing looks really nice , i would really like to get that as well . Lately ive seen it everywhere...
ReplyDeleteThe Mac lipstick i really need to get a red lipstick , yes i dont have one . I had a Barry M one and i chucked it out because i dont wear red lipstick that much due to the fact my lips are not big :( sob.
Candles , wow you didnt mention Yankee Candle my all time favorite its the best for me !! You can get it from Buldoza.gr its more expensive than outside of Greece but its the cheapest option believe it or not !!
kisses xo
Get russian red by Mac, ruby woo looks great in pictures but a bit clownish and bright for everyday. Lady Danger is great too, but russian red is more classic.
ReplyDeleteThe Helth and Mix is my favorite foundation! I have purchased it more than two times and I think is one of the best foundation I have even tried! And the price is reasonable as well!
ReplyDelete@glittermeup, oh come on, silly you... Red lipstick looks amazingly well on smaller-ish lips! I completely forgot about Yankee Candle :/ I first saw them on Public and I was like "daaaaamn that's nice"! lol
ReplyDelete@EllysMakeupbag, Russian Red, you say? Hmm, I'm a tad more keen to it, as it's classified as THE classic red lipstick. Thx for the recommendation, doll! xx
@Korina, oh I'm glad you like it! Sounds like I'm gonna love it, too! xx
Πολύ όμορφη wishlist!! Το άρωμα το συγκεκριμένο το ξέρω και είναι καταπληκτικό!! :)
ReplyDeletelovely wish list honey, we have the same taste! you've actually inspired me to make a similar, if not the same, post!
ReplyDeleteSo, the Dior highlighter is on y wishlist too! I wan to get it so badly.
I do own the Bourjois Healthy mix foundation and it's one of my favourites! It makes you look like you have porcelain skin!
As for the lipsticks, i have Lady Danger and Russian Red and one of my friends has Ruby Woo, the only way to help you is by saying that Russian Red is a classic blue toned red, Ruby Woo is more vibrant that Russian Red, and Lady Danger is an Orangey Red. I would personally recommend Russian Red as it's more versatile and i think would suit you better :)

I think Lady Danger is more orange than red so maybe you want to choose between the other two for winter time. I love candles and -don't kill me- but I love the ikea ones. Not that new candles at resonable prices are not welcome of course!
ReplyDeleteOh,the amber diamond is beautiful.My next lipstick from mac will be a prolongwear,allthough they are making my lips dry.Within an hour any other lipstick vanishes from my lips.
ReplyDeleteOn my list is the kerastase elixir
σου ευχομαι να τα αποκτησεις ολα !!!
ReplyDeleteεχω κανει αντευγειες απο το καλοκαιρι !!! αλλου ομως ειναι η αλλαγη , μικρουλα στο ματι μεγαλη σαν αλλαγη ομως :))
Great Xmas list, I'm starting making mine too, I want a perfume and a fndt too. For fndt I was thinking maybe Guerlain's Lingerie De Peau but it's too damn expensive even with the sales, and I read somewhere that Bourjois Healthy Mix is somehow similar sooooo I maybe I reconsider! As for perfume I was thinking maybe one from Bulgari, as they are really classy and longlasting or Body from Burberry. btw Yankee Candles are amazing, I buy them in tarts so I can have lots of them with less money, I get them from scentedcandleshop.com, much cheaper than Greece and really cheap shipping for Greece ( for the tarts is cheap because is of the light weight, the shipping for candles costs more). I know you want a red Mac l/s, but also check out Estee and YSL they make incredible l/s much better than Mac's texture, even though I own lots of Mac l/s mostly from B2M not one of them can beat my Estee lauder!
ReplyDeleteI recently got interested in red lipsticks and I got Ruby Woo. I don't apply it with the tube because it is too intense, I always use a lip brush (or my little finger) and pat it lighlty on my lips. It is stunning, especially when I don't feel like doing a lot of makeup: mascara, blush and a touch of Ruby Woo gives me a fresh, healthy and polished look. Bear in mind that it is very matte, so it does last but it dries the lips so I always use a little of lip balm with it. As for my christmas list, Mac Mineral christmas LE brush set is on top of it (and probably no money left for anything else, LOL!).
ReplyDelete@Claire D. T, ω αλήθεια; Χαίρομαι! Ελπίζω να αρέσει και σε μένα! xx
ReplyDelete@fashion written with a lipstick, oh I'd love to read your wishlist for Christmas! Yeah let's hope this Dior powder isn't sold out during the sales! I'll keep a note on Russian Red, thx for the recommendation hun! xx
@NatalieDouka, haha I love the Ikea candles too! Just want to treat myself with something special this Christmas, that's why ;)
@andreana, oh wow, that was good to know! I always thought matte lipsticks last longer on the lips, but apparently the pro lonwear finish is the most long-lasting ;)
ReplyDelete@Mairyliscious, βρε θα σκάσω... Ποια είναι η αλλαγή; Ε;
@SophiaPeaches, daaaaamn I just looked upon the concept of these Yankee Candles wax tarts- how cool!!! Thank you so much for recommending this website sweetie, I would have never come across it otherwise! Ah the Signature lipsticks by Estee Lauder are sooo nice, I'm def gonna invest in these sometime! It's just that I'm currently trying to biuld up my Mac lipstick collection so that's why I'm looking into those ;) xx
@ScrapgalGR, oh oh, wait a minute, are there any pics on the new Mac Christmas collection? I haven't seen anything on Temptalia- I think... I'm dying to know about it!
Ok, this list means two things:
ReplyDeletea. we think oddly alike and
b. we're screwed if we ever go shopping together!!!
Love your list way too much, in fact I'm trying to make up my own this week, and it will probably be a lot like this!!!
PS: Just HOW gorgeous is the classic men's Aqua Di Gio? Smells so sexy on women too!!!
xxx
There are several christmas collections by Mac (god help us) and the official photos (that means no swatches yet) can be found on temptalia, just look for the "Mac Launches" tab on the right sidebar.HTH!
ReplyDelete@Tina, lol I'd love to read about your Christmas list, honey!!! Can you believe it, I know it's totally lame but when I sniff a guy wearing Aqua di Gio, I forget all about his lousy personality and go like "mmmmmm"... Can't help it, this cologne drives me crazy! xx xx
ReplyDelete@ScrapgalGR, just saw them! No pics yet though :( I like the name of the Christmas collection! Thx for the tip!
αχ.. τι με κάνετε τι με κάνετε εδώ μέσα... τώρα θα κάτσω να σκεφτώ κ γω λίστα... αχχ... τι άσχημα... :ΡΡΡΡ
ReplyDeleteΤο Russian Red από ό,τι έχω δει είναι τέλειο αλλά πήγαινε να ρωτήσεις κάποια mac-κοπέλα ποιο πηγαίνεικαλύτερα με το δέρμα σου!
xx
Καλά, εννοείται ότι θα ζητήσω βοήθεια από καμιά πωλήτρια στα Mac, ευτυχώς ξέρουν τι τους γίνεται! Σε αντίθεση με κάτι κοπελιές στο Hondos :/
ReplyDeleteI've got something for you...
