Products I would like to try this year!

'Urban decay Naked Palette'
I have read so many amazing reviews on the newest urban decay palette and they look amazing! I am a sucker for browns and golden shades which both 2 and 3 have. I think I will have to save my Christmas money and get one of these. 

'Nars blusher (orgasm)'
This colour blusher is so lovely. It is more orangey than Nars 'pink swoon' so is more of a natural colour yet with tones of gold. I like my blushers to be shimmery rather than matt and I have heard great things about this product! 

'MAC studio finish foundation' 
As much as I love my high street Rimmel foundation for sixth form and everyday wear,  when I went round to Abbie's she introduced me to this and I love it! I don't have loads of MAC products but this foundation has great coverage and has been recommended to me by so many people so I think I will give it a go.

'MAC lipsticks'
One of my best friends and fellow beauty blogger, Jess, recommended these to me. She has herself a rather sizeable collection and the colours are all so lovely. They are creamy and go on really well! My next lipstick will definitely be one of these. I like darker colours like pinks and reds so if you guys have any suggestions of which ones would be good for me, let me know! :D

'Benefit brow zings'
I am nearly out of my Smashbox eye brow kit and, although I love it, I have wanted to try this product for ages. I think it is such a cute little kit and comes with handy tweezers which you can carry round in the kit!  

What products do you want to try this year?

TAG beauty talk!

My friend Jess has started a tag with a few questions on beauty and stuff so I thought I would give it a go :) make sure you give her a follow: 

What products have stood out for you this year? 
Um.. I think for me this has been the year of the primer! Like you will know if you read my last post I never used it before but now I wouldn't be without it! At the minute I am using Laura Geller's Spackle which I love. It make my skin so much smoother providing great base for my foundation :D 

What make up product would you recommend for young girls or people who are just starting to get into beauty? 
I would say get yourself a good foundation. I wear Rimmel match perfection which I love. It has brilliant coverage and literally is my match perfection! It is greater if you are younger or new to make up because it is a cheaper high street brand that I think it even better than some really expensive brands :) definitely give it a go! 

Favourite high street and high end beauty brand? 
Erm.. Probably Rimmels for high street but I am not sure about my favourite high end as I like so many. I wear lots of Benefit make up but I think they can be really touch and go. I would have to go with MAC or Estée Lauder! 

Most disappoint product you have tried... 
Benetint probably. I only got a sample of this product but I found it really hard to apply evenly and it made my skin really sore and spotty! :/

A beauty item you use every day... 
Benefits Fake up! I have the worst dark circles and this product has been my knight in shiny packaging. I absolutely love it :) it is not heavy under my eyes and leaves me looking so much more awake. It is really easy to apply as well! 

What are your essentials for winter? 
Ooh erm, a good red lipgloss is an absolute must for me! I also like to get myself a pair of false lashes from Illamasqua for parties. I have blue eyes so I like to wear golden eye shadows so I have to make sure I am stocked up over winter (MAC bare study is really nice). I love winter cos I make so much more of an effort with make up and you can make yourself look so festive! :D

What is your favourite product for a dramatic party look?
I like Maybellines black gel eye line because it is so was to apply! It is in my every day bag but over Christmas I tend to wear more of it and experiment with different looks. Dark coloured lips are always a must for dramatic effect and, if you don't over do it, glitter eye liners can look really nice :) 

What's on your Christmas wish list (beauty wise)? 
I have asked for MAC stuff in general and also I love Estée Lauder mascara so hopefully Santa will bring me on of those :) Benefit are doing really cute Christmas box sets which have some good products in so that would be nice as well :D 

Thank you for reading guys! If you want to do this make sure you tag #TAGbeautytalk on Instagram or twitter with a link!! And check out Jess's beauty blog for more inspiration and tips!
