A few new items on my beauty radar this week:
Jo Malone has released the Cologne Intense Mini Collection (1) in a set for the first time this holiday. It has Tuberose Angelica, Velvet Rose and Oud, Saffron, Dark Amber and Ginger Lily and Oud and Bergamot. I was almost ready to purchase but have never smelled Saffron before. Have you? What do you think?
Edward Bess has released four new shades of Lasting Kiss Lip Stain (2). I will have swatches to share with you very soon but first impressions are they are to die for.
Tom Ford Beauty has re-released two of the Cream Color for Eyes (3) in Platinum and Spice. Those who missed out before will be happy to know you can purchase them now with the holiday collection (but take note they are limited-edition again).
L’Occitane never fails to get me with their Shea Butter Hand Cream releases (4). With the holiday season approaching, I’m excited to see what sets they will release this year. Three new ones on my radar are the Rose Heart, Vanilla Bouquet and Whipped Shea Butter.
NARS has several holiday gifting sets out this year. This Virtual Domination Cheek Palette (5) looks like it could be the perfect compact size to slip into your purse for touchups or application on-the-go.
I’ve been getting lots of e-mails about the new Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss (6). Chanel.com released three shades as a preview, but all the colors have finally arrived at Nordstrom in case you have been looking. I have five I’ll be swatching and reviewing.
Diptyque has some amazing holiday offerings this year. The packaging on their holiday candles are breathtakingly beautiful. There will be candle sets available as well. For the first time they will have one of their photophores available for purchase outside of Diptyque Boutiques in a Limited Edition Set with a Candle Holder + Feu de Bois, 6.5 oz. (7).
Dior Holiday is also stunning. There are two limited-edition quints in Golden Shock and Golden Reflection (8). (P.S. for a limited time, Nordstrom.com has these on sale with 10% off for their price matching, check out the Sale Section on their website under Beauty to see what else is on a discount.)
What’s on your beauty radar this week?
Thanks for sharing this info. I made my TF order for Platinum….didn't want to miss out on this again. Thank you thank you.
Yay! I'm glad you were able to get Platinum 🙂
Is it bad that I thought, boobs, when I looked at #3 TF? Ha! So immature over here…then again, he does like to market *the sexy*! I see a lot of nice things here, thanks for sharing!
LOL, have you seen the Charlotte Tilbury blushes? I have the same thoughts about the design.
Uh-oh. I need those Edward Bess stains. How I love his lip products. BTW, when did he and Sephora part ways?
Thanks for another super article!
Hi Iron Maiden, his line left Sephora officially on March 1st of this year, but items remained on sephora.com until stock was sold out. Hope this helps!
Thanks, Sabrina! I didn't realize it had been that long.
Hi Sabrina–I emailed Edward Bess and got descriptions of the Lasting Kiss Lip Stains. Here they are:
Au Naturel is a pinkish-brown nude shade.
Deep in Love is a darker, berry brown shade.
Risque is a bright coral pink.
Surrender is a soft, mauve pink.
L'Occitane creams are the best ever!
I am still after the Charlotte Tilbury's the Rebel – love my greens. I am also interested to read your review on the Dior palettes – some of their recent ones have been just average. So I hope that these ones are better quality – after all, they are charging the earth for them.
These look amazing , love the pallet

Hi Sabrina,
Cute post! I think you might have meant "ready to purchase" in your first blurb about JM 😉
I wanted to tell you that Sephora is currently having a sale on some of your favorite Formula X polishes.
🙂

I just got my NARS Virtual Domination blush palette in the mail today and it's gorgeous. I've also got my eye on the new Dior quints, especially Golden Shock.
L'Occitane, NARS and Chanel. Couldn't thing of anything better!
Lots of love, xx
