Yummy411: Fall Wishes!

Ok, it's not quite September 21st, but Fall is officially here when I see loads of candy stock piled in aisles, candy apples overflowing in the produce section and decorated pumpkins everywhere... oh and Pumpkin Pie milkshakes at Mickey D's hehe.

I was tagged by one of my fav bloggers Jen* to do a list of things we are looking forward to for Fall. I loved her list as there are a few things that I agree on!


So here's my list:

1. Manish Arora

MAC, palettes, (Indian designed) packaging? Need I say more? Get more info about the collection here. Release date 10/09.

2. nail polishes












(pic source)
Collections from Opi for Sephora, OPI France collection, the latest collections from Rescue Beauty Lounge, China Glaze, Misa.. the list goes on (esp. when I'm over at Rocketqueen's page)!

3. Textures in foundations and creating them!

















I love experimenting with the perfect canvas or trying to create one. During Summer, you try to create the flawless face with as little makeup as possible. During Fall and Winter, you can put on a few layers of product and be OK. Makeup Forever HD Foundation is #1 on my list of foundations to try... the rest: MAC Full Coverage, Dior, Giorgio Armani Face Fabric, CoverFx, Mally Roncal and Jay Manuel's makeup...and a bunch of professional artist makeup. Don't forget gorgeously milled setting powder, etc.. ahhhhh!

4. Fragrances











One lust that I've never captured is my Donna Karan Gold perfume.... bring on the sensual, warm and inviting notes for the colder temps! Aha! It's now available at the CCO! ;) I want to try other fragrances like Ralph Lauren Notorious, D&G The One, etc.


5. Fall wardrobe! Boots (peep toe), coats, hats, scarves, gloves
also.... a ski trip and Holiday catalogues!! Yippeee!

Now, I'm supposed to tag others, but this is such a great topic that I'm tagging everyone who reads this. I'm not using that as a cop out either. I'm dead serious.. you all know I'm a serial blog hopper and commenter. Leave the link to your post with your list in my comments so I can come check it out and let Jen* know about it! Thanks!

Your list and my list are very similar with the exception of the fragrance which may end p on my list once I catch a whiff of it. Not quite sure how I feel about the peep toe boots yet.

Giiiiirrrrl, I will up ALL night trying to order that Manish Aura Pallette. Me Wants. BAD. Although its mainly, if not all, repromotes. I don't have any of the colors; so why not get them all at once. If I don't get it...I may cry. LOL....but, kind of serious. Darn shame!

B said...

That packaging for Manish is ridic! I may have to push Queen Itsadupe in the closet for this one! And giiiirl, don't even get me started on those OPI polishes.
