First things first, is it just me or is everyone else just as excited that Thanksgiving is coming up and right after that is Christmas?!?! Because I cannot wait to stuff myself with yummy yummy holiday food and open Christmas presents (which unfortunately has reached a gradual decline in recent years... I think it's because I'm getting old and people expect ME to buy them presents -_-)
But anyway, I've been carefully crafting my (short) holiday wishlist of things I really really want for Christmas that I will have to save up for and probably buy myself (because I really don't want my best friend, boyfriend, and family to spend this much on me for a damn Christmas present... because let's be real, this economy sucks).
Anyway, I'll stop myself from rambling and let's get to it.

1. Urban Decay Naked Vault
Okay so when I first heard about UD's release of the Naked Vault, I practically squealed out of excitement. I have been lusting over the Naked palettes for as long as I can remember but just can never justify spending 50 bucks on an eyeshadow palette. I had to literally had to do some cost/benefit analysis on whether or not this is even worth getting and if I should even bother putting this on my wishlist. But in the end, you do get the bang for your buck here. If you had to buy all of these items separately, it'll cost you about $360 (special thanks for the peeps over at Bustle.com for doing all the math!), but by purchasing the entire set you'll only have to shell out $280 (an $80 savings). Yea, that's still a hefty price tag, but again it's all up to how much use you're going to get out of this. (Note to self: I have to hunt this thing down because it is SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE)

2. NARS Virtual Domination Palette
NARS is definitely getting all kinds of holiday festive this year with their Virtual Domination Palette. If you haven't seen it yet, the packaging this little gem comes in is all Christmas-ey white and red. On top of the beautifully festive packaging though, this palette is wonderful. It includes an amazing selection of blush shades (Sex Fantasy, Deep Throat, & Final Cut), the Laguna bronzer (which is my all time favorite bronzer), and the Miss Liberty highlighting blush. This little palette definitely packs a punch and would be perfect for all my upcoming holiday party shenanigans.

3. Frends x BaubleBar Layla Headphones
I have been wanting to get my pair of Frends headphones for so long now, but when I heard about the Frends x Baublebar collab, I just about died. What got me excited the most was the amazingly blingy replaceable headphone caps. Not only have I heard such great reviews about the functionality and the sound quality of Frends headphones, it's also REALLY REALLY fashionable! It's basically an accessory to add to your outfit. I'm getting so excited just thinking about getting my hands on these babies. GAH!

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in Cement
Is this a basic bitch purchase or what? lol But in all seriousness I have been eyeing this baby for YEARS now. But since I've been working at my first big-girl job in NYC, I think its time for me to save up some money to splurge on this investment item. I just love the shape, the quality of the leather (sooo soft), the size, and the weight of it. As far as the color goes I've always wanted it in cement or in faded aluminum because it can literally go with any outfit.

5. Frank Body Scrub
I have really problematic skin and I'm always up to try new skin care products. So I came across this super awesome organic coffee body scrub. I've literally been stalking people who have used it and the progress their skin has made for months now, and I'm convinced. This might just actually be the first thing I cross of my wishlist.
My wishlist is significantly short, but that's mainly because these are the top 5 items I really want to splurge on before the end of this year. I have to admit that I have a serious shopping problem when it comes to bags, shoes, clothes, makeup, and skincare... but what's a girl to do? I mean we need to pamper and splurge on ourselves every once in a while especially us hardworking gals, right?
