We all have an urge to splurge on occasion but the still-precarious economy is enough to make any woman think, “Hold on to your wallet.” I’d never encourage anyone to spend beyond their means, particularly when there are so many great drugstore beauty products but if you’re in the mood for something that feels like a little more of an indulgence, check out Beautyticket.com.

This clever kit contains three of Too Faced’s most popular bronzers, including  Snow Bunny, a skin perfecting winter bronzer Sun Bunny, a cult favorite medium bronze and Pink Leopard, which creates an illuminating tropical tan. 
It also comes with a sweet little Kabuki brush for the perfect application. And here’s a little Makeup Minute tip from me – for the most natural looking bronzer, focus your application on the spots where the sun naturally hits your face: the bridge of your nose, chin, cheekbones …read more

These would be the things that I wish Santa would bring me….although I know Santa is makeup-impaired and I will sadly have to get everything myself.

3. DuWop’s Amber Cream Eyes Palette
4. Smashbox’s Photo Finish Primer

How cool is this? Just looking around the web today for stocking stuffers…for my stocking of course.
I came across Too Faced “The Jewelry Box,” although there is no diamonds to be found here, it is quite a find. This set contains 8 eyeshadows, six lipglosses, a blush, duo bronzer, foundation powder, brow powder, eyeliner cake, a face illuminator and two double ended brushes. Did you get all of that? You could go away for the holidays and all you would need is this set, instead of a whole makeup bag of products.
Santa, I want this.
