Virtual Swag Bag: Cosmetic Must Haves

  It's such a shame that there will be no Golden Globes to watch.  No Red Carpet.  No reports of the celebrity swag!  Sunday's New York Times (Jan. 06, 2008) published a list of this winter's top selling and most wanted cosmetics.  Just a sampling of the sort of products that might have made the swag bags:

1. The Youth As We Know It cream by Bliss. 
2. Shu Uemura false eyelashes
3. Shu Uemura and Kevin Aucoin mascara.
4. Patricia Wexler De-Puff Eye Gel.
5. Kate Somerville Goat Milk Body Lotion.
6. Space.NK bath and body kits.
7. That Gal Brightening Primer by Benefit
8. Laura Mercier Stickgloss - I own this in Maple and love it.
9. Vegetarian Miracle 10-Minute Mask for Hair from Davines, available at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon in New York (212) 546-0398.
10. Lime & Sage shower gel and Thyme & Sage shower gel by Korres.

Some of my fellow bloggers and I covered our "must have" products here, but if I were making up a swag bag (hey, I can dream, right?), I would add:

• The Clarisonic skincare system
• Chanel Sublimage Eye Essential Regenerating Eye Cream
• Fleurs de Citronnier Eau de Parfum by Serge Lutens
• Private shopping night at Fred Segal Beauty
• Eyebrows done by Anastasia
• Hair & spa treatments!

What would be some of the fab finds that you would add into the Virtual Swag Bag?

Benefit turn-on: thrrrob

Benefit Cosmetics turns us on (again) with a new face powder called "thrrrob".  Ahem.  The color is described as pulse-racing pink; the color your face gets when your heart races.  It is a beautiful color; perfect for sweeping on to brighten up the sallowness that the dry air of the winter brings on.  Don't forget to step into the Holiday Parlor and click on the Decadent Days of Beauty icon for special offers thru December 31st.  Looks like Benefit has given us another reason to blush!
