1. Estee Lauder Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup, $45. This foundation delivers a dewy radiance that will win you over! Rid yourself of the dull skin of Fall with this Estee Lauder winner.
2. Bobbi Brown Corrector, $25. This Bobbi Brown concealer has been my “go-to” for a long time! It offers medium to full coverage, and the orange undertones make under-eye darkness and blemish redness vanish!
3. Aerin Kaleidolight Palette For Face & Eyes, $70. You read that right! This stylish compact by Aerin Beauty can be swirled together and used as an all-over face powder, or each color can be used individually to create a fabulous eye look. I’m a long-time fan!
4. NARS Limited-Edition VIP Red Lipstick, $27. This reddish brown hue is perfectly on-trend for Fall 2015. The semi-matte finish works for everyone!
5. Clinique Almost Lipstick, $15.  Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is not only a cult-classic, but an affordable price to get that semi-sheer black cherry shade that works with every complexion!
6. Lancôme Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette, Jason Wu Collection, $50. I love the perfectly portable size of the Lancôme Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette, and these options from the Jason Wu Collection are ideal for Fall and Holiday!
7. Christian Louboutin Velvet Matte Lipcolor, $90.  This Christian Louboutin lipstick is a “lust” item for me.  There’s something about the look of the tube that is luxe and magical at the same time.
8. Estee Lauder Pleasures Exotic Paisley Solid Perfume Compact, $175. Estee Lauder holiday compacts are a gift-giving tradition in the world of beauty! If you have a collector in your life, you must check out the array of luxurious Estee Lauder compacts available this year!
9. ReVive Cream Cleanser, $75.  Revive Cream Cleanser is a splurge, but after all of these years of testing skincare, I must admit ReVive cleansing product is second to none.
10. Living Proof No Frizz Travel Kit, $29. What a great way to introduce yourself to the Living Proof brand, or to prepare for all of that holiday travel! This kit contains shampoo, conditioner, and a nourishing styling cream to keep frizzies away.
