You have $200 to spend....

I was reading Painted Ladies and came across a post asking a fun question.

Say, hypothetically, you have $200 free and clear to spend on any beauty related items you wish. Anything at all! What would you buy with this money?

I'm still pondering (although I'm with her--UD's Naked palette is probably on my list).

What about you? :)

*whimpers*

Right now, I would probably spend it on hunting down a bottle of Caron's beautiful (and discontinued, how can this BE) Coup de Fouet.

I was hoping that the Lutens Vitriol d'Oeillet might be a substitute, but it's not, alas.

I have plenty of face stuff, so I don't have many lems left or gaps to fill. I think I would spend at least half on nail polish. And some good storage for my collection, including a Z-palette or three. Whatever money was left over would likely end up feeding my shadow palette addiction.

Do I have to spend it all at once or can I use it a little at a time? Because it would make my nail polish addiction much less expensive over time.

It's not one of my absolute all-time "stockpile a bank vault of this" favourites. But it was just discontinued, and I would so have snagged a bottle if I'd known.

It's much less obvious and in-your-face than the descriptions usually make it sound -- it's a beautiful carnation scent, but with this prickle of pepper on top and the clove coming through. It makes me think of a very tailored 1940s suit.

The Perfumed Court still has samples and mini-sprays, so I may have to grab some of those while I still can:

Okay, in that case, the $200 will be split between hunting bottles of Yohji Homme and Feu de Issey.

A bottle of Ormonde Jayne Champaca Parfum...that's the only way I can justify to myself the cost of shipping from the UK.
