In each Makeup Wars Challenge, we usually share our favorite product in a category, for example my favorite makeup brush or favorite taupe eyeshadow. This time, in the spirit of the holidays, we’re sharing our (fantasy) holiday wishlist. Read on for mine….
Of all the Makeup Wars Challenges, this might have been my easiest. Want to know what I’d love for Santa to drop off? It’s all about indulgence…
There’s always something from CHANEL on my wishlist and this year it’s the new Les Exclusifs Fresh Body Cream. I’ve always wished that my favorite fragrance, Beige, had the complementary body products. Now CHANEL has introduced Les Exclusifs Fresh Body Cream; one scent that will work with each of the thirteen Les Exclusifs fragrances. This luxurious Body Cream is light and has a slightly green note, so it won’t compete with whatever notes are in the fragrance. Brilliant! Available in a 5 oz. size, $130, CHANEL.com. (Note: a sample was received so that I could smell the fragrance of the Fresh Body Cream).
I always say, if it’s good enough for Oprah, it’s good enough for me! Oprah selected this Julep Nail Color Jewelry Box as one of her Favorite Things for 2012 and it’s definitely on my wishlist. The beautiful white lacquer box holds 12 shades of Julep Nail Polish. It retails for $168 (save 50% with code OPRAH) at Julep.com and Sephora.
It’s no secret that I love good skin care and ReVive is a line that I use and love. Each holiday season, ReVive offers three different Artboxes which all display Pat Steir’s signature artistic technique of dripped, splashed and poured paintings. In the ReVive Artbox 10, the canvas features glowing lapis lazuli blues, radiating golds, reds, ochres, and deep purple-blacks. Pretty and collectible, inside there is a Moisturizing Renewal Cream, Sensitif Cellular Repair Cream, Fermitif Neck Renewal Cream, Eye Renewal Cream and Moisturizing Renewal Eye Cream. The ReVive Exclusive Artbox 10 is available at Neiman Marcus, $550.
I’ve always loved to carry a beautiful compact and without fail, it’s one by Estée Lauder, who makes the most collectible compacts. I count among one of my favorite moments when I saw Mrs. Estée Lauder’s collection of compacts in her office in New York. This year, the holiday collection has a Zodiac theme. Since I’m a Gemini, that’s a must-have compact for me. Each compact includes a Lucidity Translucent Pressed Powder. The Estée Lauder Holiday Compact Collection will be available for a limited time at Estée Lauder counters nationwide including Nordstrom and EstéeLauder.com, $70.
Santa must not be paying attention because I put the Bobbi Brown Makeup Trunk on my list every year! This is a makeup connisseur’s dream, featuring Bobbi’s most iconic products. The Beauty Trunk (actually a chic silver case) comes with everything you need–color, skin care and tools. This year’s Beauty Trunk features the Party Collection. The Bobbi Brown Beauty Trunk is available at Neiman Marcus, $1000.

Great minds Nancy! Someday I will have the Bobbi Brown beauty trunk!
OMG… that trunk!
What a great list! Shoot! Now there are just more items on my list…..
Oh You can’t go wrong with any of your choices! I think the Estee Lauder compacts are the prettiest! I love your list!
Teri..I’m pretty sure you and I are like left brain/right brain, lol! It’s crazy how similar our tastes are!
Ditto on the BB Trunk and I really need to get my hands on one of the Scorpio Estee Lauder compacts!
Lauder does make some gorgeous compacts <3 and I've always wanted a BB trunk too!
After looking at all of these lists there is just too much that I left off of mine!
Oh the Bobbi Brown Trunk. That’s just lovely.
Ooh, indulgence is good. I have one EL compact that was a gift and I remember oohing and aahing when I got it. It’s a wonderful wishlist item. Of all your items I’d want the BB trunk but only if it wasn’t from my husband since I’d hate him spending that kind of money on it.
What the what? I didn’t know that Bobbi Brown had that trunk? I don’t have many of her products so I sooooooo need that. And that EL compact is just beautiful!
Nice Wishlilst! I totally want that Julep set too. I am a huge fan of Julep polish! 🙂
That Bobbi Brown truck is amazing!
I forgot about the Bobbi Brown trunk! I would have put that on my list too if I had remembered it!
I like the Bobbi set- but not enough to spend 1,000 on it. Did anyone see the large kit that was on Sephora by Makeup Forever? It was pretty awesome…still super, super expensive.
The fresh body cream from Chanel is on my list too! Can’t wait till Christmas. It’s going to be awesome. I have bought some pretty interesting gifts for my girls.
Ooooh! I would want it all! 😀
