Winter Beauty Wishlist

I've put together my wish list of beauty items that I want so badly this winter. I will be leaving my list lying around the house just so my other half accidentally spots it and decides to buy me one or two (or all) for Christmas.

1. Illamasqua Skinbase Foundation. I've never used an Illamasqua foundation before, but after watching some Youtube videos with people using this I really want to try it. This is £27 and can be purchased from here.

2. Philosophy Hand and Cuticle Cream Ornament. I do like Philosophy product and this looks so cute and its only £9. I'm desperately trying to find a hand cream that I'm happy with so I would quite like to give this a try. It can be purchased from here and would make a great little stocking filler.

3. Bobbi Brown Caviar and Oyster Palette. I love Bobbi Brown Eyeshadows, I find them to be the nicest eyeshadows to use. They blend really nicely and have really good pigmentation and this palette is just too gorgeous. It costs £59 and can be purchased from here. I don't know if I will be able to wait until Christmas for this one and may just have to buy it myself.

4. Clinique Whole Lotta Colour Gift Set. This is just such a cute little set, it contains 5 chubby moisturising lip balms in Richer Raisin, Bulky Blossom, Chunky Cherry, Over sized Orange and Super Strawberry. Its only £30 and they are all colours that I would wear. You can purchase this from here. I think this one would be another great option for a stocking filler or gift.

5. Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum. I am wanting this after using a couple of sachets from a Glossybox recently. I fell in love with it and I need the full size in my life. I did almost die when I saw the price but I still need this in my life. It cost £127 for 25ml and can be purchased here.

6. Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. I have 4 MSF and I love them, I've been wanting this for a while but because I do have a lot of similar products I've been pretty good in resisting. However whilst Christmas is coming up I think me being sensible should go right out the window and I should buy it anyway just for the sheer beautifulness of it. It costs £21.50 and can be purchased here.

Nars Blush in Sin. I'm loving plummy coloured blushes at the moment and would like another brand to add to my collection. I've seen plenty of swatches of this and have decided that, yes this definitely deserves a place in my make up collection so I want it and I shall have it. It costs £21 and can be purchased from here.

Ok so here it is, my winter wish list. I'll be honest and say that there are alot more items that I do really want but these were the top ones that I want a little bit more!

Is there anything on here that's on your wish list?

My top 5 products

So onto my top 5 products, this was a difficult one but these are the ones I decided came out above all the rest. They are in no particular order as I love them all equally.

 

I chose this palette because quite frankly I'm sick of wearing nude shadows on my eyes, since the day I purchased my Naked 2 palette the only eye looks I did was a nude and it was just boring. I bought this to change things up a bit and I'm so glad I did.

 

The palette includes 6 colours and retails for £31.50, you can find them here on the Boots website.

The colours in the palette are

Bliss - Matte beige

Putty - Taupe

Blacktop - Black with glitter

Mist -A shimmery very pale lilac

Royal - Dark matte purple

Nocturnal - Royal blue with glitter

I was a little disappointed at first as I felt that they weren't incredibly pigmented for the price. However the shadows are very blendable and easy to build up and the colours complement each other very well and make it really easy to achieve a smokey eye. On the back of the palette you can also peel back the label to find instructions on how to create a smokey eye which I think is a great idea if you are a beginner or just want a bit of help.

 

This is a fairly new addition to my collection but it has gone straight up there to my favourite foundation ever, this is the Max Factor Xperience Foundation. I usually wear Lancome on bad skin days and Yves Saint Laurent on good skin days but this is now my all round foundation. It offers excellent coverage without looking like I have piled on the make up and I don't find the need to powder at all with this. The colour match is also perfect for my skin. Max Factor say:

Love a full coverage but hate that heavy foundation feel? 

Well treat your skin to a new Xperience. 

Weightless to the touch and flawless to the finish it's what your skins been waiting for

The cost of this foundation is £9.99 and can be found at Boots here. Its almost a third of the cost of my usual foundation so I am really happy to have found this little gem.

 

I don't have a lot to say about this product other than it does what it claims to do. It really does make my pores to appear reduced. I have large pores on my nose and cheeks which I am quite conscious about but this product is a little miracle in a tube. You smooth a small amount over your make up and they disappear. I have no idea how this product works all I know is it does. I'll definitely be repurchasing this product over and over.

 This can be purchased at Boots here for £18.00. If you have enlarged pores I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

I've only recently purchased this at my local CCO for the bargainous price of £9.25. I am absolutely in LOVE with this lipstick. I usually go for the my lips but better shades of lipsticks and never really branch out into the brighter shades but this is amazing and really brightens up my face. 

This swatch does this lipstick no justice as its just a stunning shade and I think it would suit most skintones. 

Finally I have chosen Mac Breath  Of Plum blush, this is the perfect blush for me for autumn/winter. Its blends really well. I can be a little heavy handed with blusher sometimes and have to spend a while trying to tone it down but this can be built up from very sheer to more dramatic if required.

 

 

 This blush is £17.50 and can be purchased from Mac here.

So here is my top 5, as I said it was extremely difficult and I do have a lot of other products that come incredibly close to these but these just pip them to the post ever so slightly. Are any of your favourites featured in mine? I'd love to hear your comments.
