product craving: Urban Decay Naked Palette

i know i'm not the only one who wants the new Urban Decay Naked Palette. why? because it keeps selling out within seconds of becoming available again!

i'm totally kicking myself: i had my chance to order it via sephora.com** a little over a week ago (my local store sold out and won't be getting any replacements-- see the photo below, LOL!), but missed it-- now i have to wait again...



in any case, you'll find in this palette 12 full size eyeshadows in shades ranging from a pale champagne to a gorgeous deep charcoal. you'll also find a double-ended 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (black) and Whiskey (brown), as well as a mini Primer Potion.

shadows include:

Virgin-- nude satin
Sin-- champagne shimmer
Naked-- buff matte
Sidecar-- beige sparkle
Buck-- nutmeg matte
Half Baked-- bronze
Smog-- golden brown shimmer
Darkhorse-- bronze-plum shimmer
Toasted-- taupe-bronze
Hustle-- mocha shimmer
Creep-- near-black metallic
Gunmetal-- dark grey metallic


tell me: are you craving this fabulous product like me, or do you already own it?

on my must-buy list: Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring

i'm going to be honest-- i have only smelled Marc Jacobs' latest fragrance Lola in a magazine, but what i smelled was divine, amazing, practically made for me!

ok, that was a little over the top, but i liked it that much. :)

then, last week i found out it came in an adorable, limited-edition solid perfume ring-- hello?! the flower matches the one found on the perfume bottle-- too cute, right? i had to add it to my "must-buy" list.



i know, it may sound a bit nutty to want to buy this without having actually worn the scent, but i figure since i liked it on paper, and the notes are some of my personal preferences, i don't think it will be a disappointment (at least, i hope not, ha!). also, i think solid perfumes are great because they are portable, easy to apply and this one comes in something i can wear without wearing the perfume, making it that much more appealing.

in addition to being limited-edition, there is one catch to being able to purchase this ring: you must be a Sephora Beauty Insider. if you aren't already, 1) why not?, and 2) it's very simple to do! just go to sephora.com, click on the "sign up for Sephora" link and fill in the info. you can also sign up in Sephora if you have one locally. and that's it!

so, what do you think of the ring? have you smelled Lola? if so, do you love it? hate it? tell me your thoughts in the comments!

product craving: Smashbox Beauty Guru Palette

sometimes i just can't resist falling for a fabulous palette, and when i spotted this new Smashbox Beauty Guru Palette, it begged to come home with me (well, you know that's not true, but i like to imagine it to be so, LOL)-- i managed to resist that time, but i can't promise the same next time ...

if you've ever been into a Sephora store, you know that it can be pretty easy to fall in love with many things (or everything!) that you see and touch. from the colors, textures, smells and overall fun experience, it's enough to make any beauty-loving gal want to go home with just one more thing-- at least that's usually the case with me. :)

this palette is fabulous and houses everything you need for touch-ups or even traveling. in it is a blush/bronzer duo, a quad of eyeshadows and liner, as well as a lip color trio with high shine topcoat (that's ten products!). if you get a chance to see it in person, you will be amazed and possibly fall in love with it yourself.

find the Beauty Guru Palette in Sephora stores, your local Smashbox beauty counter and online at smashbox.com or sephora.com

do you ever see an ad and think, i need to try that? well, if you're like me, it happens a lot. i have found yet another product that i am eager to try: Borghese Fango Active Mud.

Active Mud is a multi-tasking product that can be used on face or body, and energizes and nourishes skin cells. special absorbing action unclogs pores, eliminates dead skin cells and detoxifies impurities. skin feels comfortably hydrated, firmer and invigorated.

now i don't know about you, but with the way i've been feeling lately, this sounds like a dream...

what about you? are there any products that are on your must-try list right now?

product craving: Ojon Tawaka "The Ball"

Tawaka The Ball.

have you heard of it? it's the newest product from the amazing company Ojon. this is a product that, by it's description, needs to be in my shower (and yours!). this is a truly distinct product in the body treatment category.

this Ball looks like, and even smells like, a giant chocolate truffle (!!!) and is designed to be used as an exfoliator and hydrator for the skin. the powerful formula (which also includes omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9) contains the same anti-oxidant benefits of 2,834 lbs of blueberries (i know i couldn't even eat that in a week)!

infused with savage cacao, not to mention it's formulated without artificial color, sulfates, silicone, parabens or preservatives, The Ball prepares pores for treatment by removing debris and refining surface texture. buffing it in a circular motion helps stimulate circulation, leaving skin polished and soft with a smooth satin finish and no greasy residue.

sounds amazing, right? when i have an opportunity to try this, i will be sure to tell you all about it!

find out more for yourself, visit sephora.com.

product craving: Clarisonic Facial Cleansing System

QVC has done it again: put it in my head that i need something that i had never known about before.





this time it's the Clarisonic Facial Cleansing System. this system is designed to cleanse your skin like nothing else. it does it so well that even when you swipe your face with a cotton swab and toner after cleansing with it, not a trace of makeup can be found on the swab!
sold with Kate Somerville Gentle Daily Wash and Clarisonic Daily Hydro Cleanser, this set is exclusive to the company, but the price is the same on other sites without the cleansers. why do i feel like i need this? why do you do this to me QVC? and why can't i stop watching?


what product are absolutely craving right now? let me know in the comments!
