The scene backstage at New York Fashion Week can be described in one word: chaos. Hair extensions are flying. Makeup is scattered everywhere. Editors and photographers trip over each other trying to get the perfect quote and prettiest picture.

Skip ahead to see which products models are loving at Fashion Week this season.

Of course we're not accusing anyone of stealing. We've seen plenty of models ask if they can take home an amazing mascara or custom nail polish shade -- and most brands are happy to share. After all, if the models -- who are exhausted, jaded, and rarely paying attention -- are clamoring for an eyeliner, it's a safe bet you have a hit on your hands.

As we rounded up the products that models are swiping from backstage at New York Fashion Week this season, we found ourselves wanting them, too -- after all, they come with a very respectable seal of approval from top models like Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls. Happily, some are available now, but we'll have to wait for spring for some of the others. Here's what the models were clamoring for backstage at the shows ...

I love the look of the Zoya nail polish trio that was at Peter Som, but those colors are not available on Zoya's website.

Love the black and diamond manicure. Wish a manicure would stay on me longer than a few days. :-(

The Stila smudge sticks are the bomb! The colors are gorgeous, and the stay on all day.

I'm glad to see the Asian model without the same old look. Purple based is a good color if it has the right shade. I have been waiting for a long time to get blushes and lip colors for myself. The turquoise shadow shade actually really works and it is the first time I am using it, but blended in.
