ten on tuesday: 10 beauty products on my wish list

Keeping with the fun and different theme for Ten on Tuesday (I've just not been feeling the official Ten on Tuesday topics lately) . . . Here are 10 beauty products that are on my wish list.

1) Philosophy's new fragrance Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love is the little sister to another favorite Philosophy's fragrance of mine - Falling In Love. The first time I smelled it I wanted to just pull the top off that bottle and drink it. I sprayed a bit on my arm and then couldn't stop sniffing at my wrist for the rest of the day! It has a creamy smooth sweetness blended with soft florals and an overall warmth. Love it.

2) Stila eye kajal liner in Topaz and in Onyx

Topaz is an apricot/flesh color that can be used to line the water line (that lower inner eye rim) and make the eye look more open. Eye kajals or kohls are a traditional eye liner used predominately in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa (and I'll tell you more about them later....).3) NARS lipstick in Belle de Jour and Fast Ride

I love wearing soft pale lips in nudes and pinks. Nars Belle de Jour is a favored nude lipstick that's been on my wish list for some time. And Fast Ride is a sheer deep berry shade similar to Clinque's popular Black Cherry.4) MAC eye shadows in Brule, Quarry, Satin Taupe, and Concrete

Ask any makeup lover, you can never have enough MAC eye shadows. These are just four on my MAC want list. I'm really looking forward to getting Satin Taupe, especially.5) Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer duo in SC-1 (for very fair skin)

For about a year now I've been using a Make Up For Ever concealer palette that I've really liked. But I've been hearing good things about this Laura Mercier concealer set. So, I want to give it a try. Actually, I hear a lot of very good things about all of Laura Mercier's products. BEAUTY TIP: It's always good to have more than one shade of concealer for shading, contouring, and blending.

6) NARS Highlight Blush and Bronzer duo in Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer

Orgasm (yep) is Nars most popular blush shade. It's a great (nearly) universally flattering shade. The Laguna bronzer can be used for shading and contouring.

7) Laura Geller Lip Spackle

Lip Spackle is a special concealer/primer made specifically for the lips. It evens out the lip line, helps prevent feathering, and blanks out the natural coloring of the lips so that lipstick shades look more true.8) Sephora by OPI nail polish in Dark Room

I love dark cream polishes on short nails. This color is interesting and different from other shades in my current polish palette.

9) Benefit Dandelion pink face powder

A ballerina pink cheek powder to be used as a blush or all over complexion perk-up finishing powder.10) Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder OR Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder

I'm still doing some research on these finishing powders. But I think I'm leanings towards the MUFE - HD powder. Unlike like many other loose finishing powders, both of these are designed to not settle into fine lines. They both claim to create a smooth finish while setting makeup.
