Sunday Funday – Being My Own Santa by Buying Urban Decay Naked 3
Urban Decay Naked 3
So I know Urban Decay Naked 3 ($52) is on my wish list but I just couldn’t resist when it became available on the UD website last Monday. I pulled the trigger before I could even think about it.
You see, it wasn’t supposed to hit outside retailers until January and with the original release selling out in less than a day, I couldn’t bear not knowing if my family would be on it to pick up this rose gold-colored gem. I’m impatient, I know, but I use Naked 2 on the daily and I’m all about rose gold lately.
Then came the news that Urban Decay pushed up the release so Naked 3 is now available at Beauty.com, Macys.com, Sephora.com and ULTA.com in addition to UrbanDecay.com. Oh the Sephora Beauty Insider points I could have received, ugh!
So if you didn’t jump the gun, like me, you can hop over to your favorite online retailer now and pick up this beauty or wait for it to hit stores on December 12th. Mine arrives tomorrow and I CAN’T WAIT to play with it!
Are you a fan of the UD Naked palettes? Which one is your fave? Do you plan to get Naked 3 or do you already have it? Share your eye color combo ideas in the comments!

Pantone Color of the Year 2014 – Radiant Orchid
The next Pantone Color of the Year for 2014 was announced today and it’s Radiant Orchid. You guys know how I love purple and green so I’m all about it.
“While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society.”
“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”
You know what this means, right? A follow up to my Emerald Madness nail polish competition, featuring Radiant Orchid. I’ll host a bracketed nail polish smack down of the best orchid nail shades, similar to NCAA March Madness.
So as I start to curate the best representations of Radiant Orchid in the world of nail polish, I’d love to hear your suggestions. I don’t want to accidentally leave out a great shade.
So which nail polishes do you think best represent Pantone Color of the Year 2014, Radiant Orchid? Are you happy with Pantone’s choice?

Chanel Cosmic & Magic Le Vernis from the Nuit Magique Collection – Swatches & Comparisons
Chanel Cosmic and Magic
When Fashion’s Night Out was canceled in the US, I wondered what that meant in regards to the covet-able Chanel Fashion’s Night Out collections (Les Khakis, Les Jeans, etc). Then I saw that, in spite of the US bailing on the concept, they released the Chanel Nuit Magique Collection overseas with two gorgeous Le Vernis shades, Chanel Cosmic & Magic. I was one sad panda!
So, to say that I was beyond thrilled to discover that Chanel is releasing both nail polishes in the States, would be an understatement. Coming exclusively to Chanel.com on December 2nd, Cosmic & Magic are sure to put a crimp in your Cyber Monday budget.

Makeup Wars – My Holiday 2013 Wish List
First, I can’t get a grasp on the fact that Thanksgiving is this week. I’ve finally gotten used to writing 2013 and it’s going to be 2014 before we know it. Argh!!
That being said, the holidays are just around the corner and I love putting together a Holiday Wish List as much as I did as a kid when I dogeared pages of the Sears Wish Book. To make things easier on the boyfriend, I even made him a secret Pinterest board to make his shopping a bit easier. Amazon Wish Lists are an amazing thing as well.
So what am I asking for this year?
