Bobbi Brown Plum Pearl Lipstick

New for the holiday line, Plum Pearl lipstick is a beauty, but a somewhat odd one. I love it but it's not one I can wear all the time. But thats what makes it so nice. It's not like lots of other shades out there.

Called Plum Pearl but very brown based, it's hard even in the photo to show the exact shade. It's a plummy brown , a metallic and goes on medium dark, but not very dark. It's very much a cold winter color. When you wear your browns and greys and grieges , this will work.

Part of the Metallics lipstick line.

$ 22.00

China Glaze Loves You Snow Much

It's a party for your fingertips. China Glaze's holiday collection this year is Loves You Snow Much. It's 4 glitter flecked polishes to sparkle and bling this Christmas.

I am in love with Emerald Sparkle but I also love 5 Golden Rings almost as much.

These polishes go on sheer and I needed 3 coats to get the coverage I wanted. Glitters are normally sheer based, so you just work with it.

The two remaining shades are Tinsel- a light silver , reminiscent of icicles on a tree, and Ruby Pumps- the super pretty red. All are nice and will get you feeling festive in no time.

You can find China Glaze at Sally Beauty, Ulta and more.

Victoria's Secret Pajamas with Perfume Bottles

Browsing in Victoria's Secret last night I saw these cute thermal pajamas with perfume atomizers on them. There's a mix of images but if you are a perfumista, then you just might love these. It's a two piece set called The Fireside Long Jane Pajama. I saw a flannel set with bottles as well, but didn't snap photos of that.

These are on sale at $ 39.50 currently.
