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?

Guest post // this and that beauty tag!

Hey guys! This is a guest post from the lovely serena! Make sure you check out her blog at serenatalks.blogspot.com this is the this and that tag! We hope you enjoy it :) 

Makeup

Blush or bronzer?

Bronzer, my cheeks are always pink and when I say always I mean always!

Lip gloss or lipstick?

Lipstick, I love love love lipstick and I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to it!

Eye liner or mascara? 
Mascara, a eye look wouldn't look complete without it!

Foundation or concealer? 
This ones a toughie, foundation always makes my skin look even and will make the rest of the face makeup look normal & stay in place. But then concealer covers under eye circles and blemishes, I think I''ll stick with foundation!

Neutral or color eye shadow? 
Another toughie, I love wearing colours such as dark navy, olive green and burgundy, yet I love doing really smokey bronzed looks but I'll have to go with colours (subtle ones though!)

Pressed or loose eye shadows? 
Pressed, It's much more easier and less of a mess! 

Brushes or sponges?
Brushes, its easy to blend shadows and apply product.


Nails

OPI or china glaze?

OPI, all of my nail polishes are OPI and China Glaze except the few Barry M, Revlon and Rimmel. OPI's colour range is incredible, their staying power is amazing and they apply so well.

Long or short? 

Long, my nails grow so fast its crazy but being a beauty student we have to have short nails for practical purposes, sad face :(

Acrylic or natural? 
Natural, like I said above my nails are long naturally and they are one (of many many few) quality's of myself that I actually like.

Brights or darks?
Darks, I love Russian Navy by OPI and Mrs O'Learys BBQ!

Flower or no flower? 
No flower, but I wont say no to an accent nail!
