This is what is on my wishlist this week:
Diptyque Violette Scented Candle $60
I’ve received so many raves and recommendations on this one, I’ve added it to my wishlist to smell in store. Have you tried this one? Thoughts?
Diorshow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow $30
A new cream shadow formula from Dior. The colors look absolutely stunning. I have high hopes for these but they haven’t arrived in store yet. I restricted myself to ordering just Etoile which looks like a gorgeous gunmetal shimmer.
Chanel Affinité Le Blush Crème de Chanel $38
None of the stores near me received this hot pink blush for sale (only testers) and I’ve been stalking counters and online for it. It was on Chanel.com for a brief moment but sold out quickly before I could add to my cart and buy. Nordstrom.com now has it up online – I snagged it immediately this morning.
Dior Merveille Addict Lip Gloss (Nordstrom Exclusive) $29.50
This was a Nordstrom Exclusive I never saw at any of my counters. I’m assuming it sold out during the Early Access. My local Dior reps from Nordstrom didn’t even know about this one. Perhaps it was extremely limited? It’s still online although I haven’t seen many reviews for this one yet.
Le Métier De Beauté Galore Palette (Saks Exclusive) $125
This palette was featured on Best Things in Beauty and Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog. It looks gorgeous and is now available online at Saks.com – thoughts? Do you think the colors look too similar to existing shades or do they seem to be new ones? I’m torn on this but it’s still on my wishlist!
What’s on your wish list?
On my wish list: Dior cream shadows in Etoile, Cosmos, Hypnotique, Millénium and Météore; Dior lip gloss in Merveille, Chanel cream blush in Inspiration and Revelation and of course I'm very looking forward to Guerlain's Fall 2013 launch.
I've been dying to try a Diptyque candle but I just can't bring myself to with the price! If you do try it, let us know how you like it.

I'm waiting for the Chanel Les Beiges powder at Nordstrom. My store had the testers out and were pre-sailing. It's a toss up between 40 and 50 for me and I can't decide which look I like more, which is why I didn't pre-sale. It definitely gives me a healthy glow.
Tom Ford's fall collection, Chantecaille's Wild Horses palette, and Guerlain's fall collection are all at the top of my must see/try list. I just pre-ordered Les Beiges in #10 and am looking forward to its arrival. I'll be using it as a finishing powder. I love its subtle, healthy skin glow. I'm still undecided about getting a darker shade to use as a contour.
I was able to get Merville during the early access at Nordstrom. I was there the first day and got the last one. The SA said each store only got a few but there were plenty available on-line (at that time). Merville is cooler than the promo picture would suggest. It is a soft, mauve-leaning pink with a bit of shimmer that reminds me of cool weather and gray skies.
I have Violette. It smells just like Choward's Violet Mints. It's quite strong–you can smell it even when it's not burning. I love the violet scent of Guerlain products, but Violette is a little too overpowering for me. Though I think you and I have different tastes–so I think you would like it, though it's not my favorite Diptyque.
I just ordered a couple of the new Diorshow Fusion Mono Eyeshadows as well. I'm wondering where the new blushes are–I haven't seen those anywhere–and like more than half are calling my name.
I ordered the LMdB Galore Palette–I haven't received it yet. The Zeitgeist, the Castaway and the Galore all have the same blushes–but different eyeshadows. I don't know how similar they are to existing shades–but they are supposed to be new shades, that are only available in these palettes. I think the Galore eyeshadows might be a little similar to Zeitgeist–as far as that they are both cool toned vs. the warm toned Castaway.
I really waiting for Guerlain and Tom Ford Fall. Guerlain has the most incredible looking blush and TF has two new eyeshadow trios. And the Chantecaille Horses palette looks stunning. And I can ALWAYS use candles, lol.
Thanks for the lovely shout-out, Sabrina!! I am definitely tempted by the LMdB Galore Palette! I have been very tempted by Chanel Affinité ever since I swatched it, and keep thinking about it, and how pretty it will be blended with Inspiration (Which I have). I'm very curious about the Tom Ford Fall Collection, but will want to see it in person. The Dior Mono Fusion Eye shadows and their new Cream blushes are calling to me. I also want to see the new Armani collection- though I fear that it might be a bit too duochrome for me to want to wear often.
I'm totally lusting after the Dior shadows and haven't even seen them in person yet! I have and love Diptyque's Violette candle. 🙂
Im so wanting to buy a Diptyque candle but £40+ for a candle makes me panic when i know i have bills to pay haha!
I love the look of the Chanel blush, bright pink is perfect for the summer 🙂
Following you, follow back 🙂

I bought the LMDB Galore eye/cheek palette, too, and I also own the Zeitgeist (Bloomingdale's) and the Castaways (NM) exclusives. The eye shadows in each are different, but the blushes are all the same. I have absolutely no problem with that. The blushes are the most beautiful I have ever used, ever. Period. The end color is an exquisite golden bronze that is perfect for my fair skin. I find I am using these shades constantly, and not the new CHANEL crème blushes I now own (all but Destiny), including Affinite. I love those, too! they are so natural looking it is amazing! But right now I am on an LMDB kick!
Great post!

Waiting for Cle de peau fall; Chanel Les Beiges and Givenchy fall (nail polish and maybe lipstick). This is my humble wish list. Ah, completly forgot…Tom Ford fall as well:)
OMG!!! I wanna add them all too into my wishlist. No wonder why you love them. They are all pretty and seem like great products to try out.
Qite unexpectedly for myself, I want Chanel Azure, Bel-Argus and Mysterious. I really didn't even have any interest about them before. But now I do :)))
Thank yu, thank you, thank you! I to have been stalking, whining, etc online and in person looking for Affinite. Thanks to you I finially purchased it from Nordstrom online! Hurrah!
im waiting on my les beige which i preordered online & would love to try those candles! btw, featured you on the blog today!
Hi Sabrina,
Just wanted to let you know that Nordstrom online has the images of Meteore and Chimere mixed up.. Meteore is actually the golden bronze, in case someone here is planning to order sight unseen 🙂
Thanks Appu! I guess I will have to see what shade actually arrives from my order 🙂 It will be a surprise!
I want those Dior Fusion shadows!
I'm wearing a Dior Fusion now – I can't remember the name but it has a dark green tone. One of the MA's at Nordstrom called me during Anniversary to tell me they were in and I ordered 6 of them on the phone since it was double points. Gorgeous, very very sparkly, very long wearing.
Hi, Sabrina. Nordstrom actually has the gunmetal mono fusion mislabeled as Etoile. That one is Aventure. Etoile is a white shimmer. My local Dillard's has these out now, and I purchased Milenium, a dirty taupe/olive shimmer. Aventure is a beautiful gunmetal that I am definitely going back for. Hopefully Nordstrom clears up the color labels online.
Thanks for the info – looks like I will have to take a trip to the counter to possibly exchange now once my order arrives.
Lovely wishlist. The Diorshow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow look very pretty, I really like using cream shadows – they last well on my eyes and I like the ease of applying them with my fingers. I don't own any as lovely as these Dior ones though.
Those Diorshow eyeshadows look amazing!
Ahhh I adore Diptyque Violette! Love the scent of violet, in my perfume, candles, candies (!) and make up, ie Guerlain Les Meteorites. It smells beautifully soapy, like expensive French soap. Get it!
