What's On Your Lust List Today? (Enter to Win Our Very Lustworthy Dillard's Bag!)

Half a dozen November magazines landed on my desk this morning—Bazaar (Tina Fey on the cover! Yippee!!), Vogue, Teen Vogue, French Vogue, O, Lucky—filled with cool new stuff to covet. Why is it you always want the things you can't afford? But there was something else on my desk. Our latest gift-with-purchase makeup bag in glossy black and candy apple red—something I can afford!

The new bag, sported by our gorgeous intern Gina above, is super cute and practical and available only at Dillard's through Oct. 18th. (Don't you wish everything in life was super cute and practical?) It's yours with any $29.50 purchase and you get to chose six beauty goodies to fill it with, out of a list of 11 items. Two of my Lancôme obsessions are on the list: a travel-sized bottle of Génifique youth activating concentrate (new obsession) and a Color Fever Shine lipstick in Old Flame (old but ongoing obsession).

We're giving away one of the bags and all the goodies inside. To enter, tell us what's on your lust list today, the thing that you'd buy if money were no object. We'll pick one post at random. Please post by Friday night and good luck!

P.S. Gina is wearing the new Le Vernis nail polish from our holiday collection, Untamed Plum. This is the shade that all the models wore in the L'Wren Scott show last month. Talk about lustworthy.
