WEDNESDAY WISHLIST ♥ SLAYER CHRISTMAS SWEATER ♥

I already tweeted this on my other twitter account (not the Nancy Girl twitter account) AND moaned and groaned about it being sold out on my other facebook page...but I had to also post it on here because it's so so amazing. 

This is a crazy Slayer (as in the thrash metal band) "Christmas" Jumper/Sweater that was for sale on their merchandise site and it is totally sold out! I LOVE THIS SWEATER! I am going to look for it on EBay and also ask Santa for it. When else are you going to get a Christmas sweater covered in pentagrams and skulls??? (Actually...it sort of matches those Nars candles I wrote about. You could wear the sweater and light a bunch of those Nars candles...pretty funny thought.)♡

SEXY GIFT IDEA ♥ NARS CANDLES...LUXURY LUXURY ♥

Oh wow....how happy would I be if someone gave me one or five of these glorious luxe GORGEOUS candles by NARS! I think they have a scent for everyone. But I guess these aren't for everyone. Make sure you give these to someone who actually appreciates the thought, the effort and the price...these aren't for people who just want candles from Bath and Body Works (bleh). These NARS candles also say they have a burn time of up to 70 hours! YES. They should for the amount of money they cost!

The first one is called ACAPULCO and costs $50 (I think they all cost around $50). I didn't know what to think this would smell like by the name alone (so Nars!). But wow...the description is all my favorite things and very apropos for holiday (IF you like sweet smells of chocolate and vanilla):

A delicious top note of rich, velvety chocolate is combined with a delicate blend of whipped cream accord and coffee bean for intensity and depth, while the dry down captures the senses with a distinctive base of cocoa powder and creamy vanilla. 
one of the chicest candles in all existence!


BOSPHORUS is exclusive to the Nars website, methinks. It also says this candle smells this way:
Top notes of pure lilac blossoms and sweet essence of hyacinth are blended with middle notes of crushed green leaves, accents of currant, mandarin, and peony laced with raspberry and subtle aquatic notes. 

another chic one....!


SHANGRI-LA seems very perfect for the winter season. It's also an exclusive candle to the website and probably the stores and also costs $50. I love things that smell like tea...at least a little like tea is good. It's also in the gorgeous rich crimson color. So so Nars.

Fresh, clean top notes of bois de rose and mountain sage paired with warm, spicier notes of clove bud, nutmeg and basil leaves produced this enticingly spicy and exotic scent. The heart combines delicate notes of jasmine petals and black tea for a softly provocative touch.


There are a couple of other candles, too, if these scents don't turn you on. Check them out here. And really consider these for that person who loves luxury or that person who never gets to have any luxury in their lives. I bet it will be one of their most favorite presents they've ever received. :) ALSO ALSO ALSO if you order from Nars online, you'll prob end up with some lovely deluxe samples or gifts or something! Score!♡

GIFT IDEAS ♥ LAURA MERCIER HOLIDAY GIFT HEAVEN ♥

I have these on my own Christmas list. And yearly list. And birthday list. Any excuse to get some of these luxury bath and body products I can use! :) I have a lot of L'Occitane, which I love. But somehow I feel like the packaging and scents are even more fancy when it comes to Laura Mercier products. Maybe it's the labels. Or the packaging. I don't know. But I love them. Here are some of the things I am hoping to find under the tree this year...these are perfect for the people in your life who have everything and are extremely hard to shop for. 

Anything from the Crème Brulée collection...but this trio for the holidays is a great deal at only $65 (it's worth around $90)... Crème Body Wash, Body Scrub and Soufflé Body Crème!

Laura Mercier's La Petite Patisserie Quartet in Crème de Pistache...omg...I LOVE this pistachio scent and I LOVE these little gift packs where you get a bit of everything...for such a good deal! It's only $50 for all of these items: portable tubes of Crème Body Wash (3 oz.) and Soufflé Body Crème (3 oz.), plus deluxe travel sizes of Hand Crème (1 oz.) and Eau Gourmande fragrance (0.5 oz.). Amazing amazing. In any of the scents but especially in this one. 

 

Laura Mercier Crème Brûlée Honey Bath is decadent and lovely and good for your skin. Chic little bit for the bath area and super luxe gift for hostess at a party or a little goody for yourself. $40

 

There are so many other things and scents that would appeal to anyone. I'm just partial to sweet and honey smells. You can order from the Laura Mercier site (there's a free shipping promotion right now) or shop at Nordstroms which is what I like to do, too. Really...pick something up for yourself if you have everyone else covered.
