5 Summer Beauty Items On My Wishlist

When I watch You Tube beauty videos most of the time I have a pen and one notepad (out of the millions I have laying around the house) to take down notes of products I lust over and want to check out.  I've decided to make a top 5 list of items I really want to spend my money on this summer.  I'm not sure if I will go through with all of them - but that's why it's called a wishlist.  :)  Here they are:

1)  Guerlain Meteorites Perles' Light Diffusing Primer - $71 (EEK!) 

I have a couple of friends who use and swear by the Guerlain primer.  It's sooo expensive which is why I haven't purchased it but this new color with the bronze beads just seems like the perfect summer primer.  It's water based and has three different colored pearls that add glow and shimmer.  *sigh*

2)  Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Sweet Nectar and/or Bronze - $42

As much as I love my Bobbi Brown, I do not own a Shimmer Brick. There are 6 shades to choose from on the BB website but the two that I am lusting over are Sweet Nectar which has shades of pink and coral and Bronze which has....bronze shades. ;) These are meant to be placed on the cheekbones, after blush for more of a highlighting effect. Each color can also individually be used as an eye shadow.  

3) Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy - $34

I only own one of these beauties but I definitely want more.  These are so beautiful! From the packaging to the mere feeling of knowing you are putting a Chanel product on.  Now wait, don't get me wrong, there are lipsticks, balms, etc. that are better quality than these and less expensive-that is true BUT I can't help it, I love the one I have (in Monte Carlo) and I want a few more.  That's about as good as my justification gets. :/ :)  These are sheer but a bit build-able and have a nice shine finish to them, plus they smell really good.  

4)  LORAC Blush/Bronzer Duo in Hot & Spicy - $30

I will be completely honest here.  I am a fan of Guiliana Rancic for many reasons that I won't go into here.  I have read blog posts and interviews where she mentioned that this is a go to blush and bronzer for her. And while we may not share the same skin tone, my mind believes that if I buy this and wear it, I will look as beautiful in it as she does. :D  Okay but on a more serious level, you get a blush and bronzer in one compact which is great for traveling or keeping in your purse for touch ups. The blush is a peach shimmer and the bronze is a light bronze shimmer.  

5)  Tom Ford Beauty Eye Color Quad - $75 (EEK again!!)

I didn't name a color above because there's a few I wouldn't mind owning.  I know - crazy right?!?  The quad below is in Burnished Amber.  I have seen and swatched these in person and they are to die for.  They are so smooth and pigmented--beautiful quality of shadows. There are four finishes to each shadow: sheer sparkle, satin, shimmer and matte.  I personally like that they offer that variety. I'm afraid that once I buy one, it will all be over and I will be hooked. 

So have you tried any of the above and if so what do you think?  What's on your wishlist, summer or year round?  Let me know, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for spending time with me today!
