CHRISTMAS BEAUTY WISHLIST

I think it's finally time to make a Christmas wishlist! I decided to split my ultimate wishlist into two parts: beauty and non-beauty (which I'll be posting soon). There's definitely too much stuff I want but Santa, if you're reading this, I really wouldn't mind finding it all under my Christmas tree.

MAC 217 Blending Brush aka the ultimate eyeshadow blending brush. I've heard so much about this brush. I've watched countless YouTube tutorials just to find that everybody is using it. I guess it really must be amazing!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Streak: There has been a lot of hype surrounding Urban Decay's Revolution lipsticks this year and I'm pretty sure there is a reason for that but I really want to test it by myself. I think the shade called Streak is absolutely the prettiest and I also think it would suit me best.

NARS Ride Up to the Moon Eyeshadow Palette: Here's another product that a lot of people have talked about during 2013. And I can totally see why. This might be the prettiest eyeshadow palette existing! Too bad it's a limited edition... but Santa can make miracles happen, right?

STILA Artist Essential Set: Now here's something big. This gift bundle is absolutely amazing! It consists of great eyeshadows palettes, an eye liner, a lipstick, a lip and cheek cream and a brush. Now, why wouldn't I want that in my make-up collection?

SMASHBOX Full Exposure Palette: I just love neutrals! I've been fully satisfied with all the neutral eye shadows from my Urban Decay Naked Palette for about 6 months but now I need more. This Smashbox palette is full of shimmers and mattes in amazing neutral shades. This would definitely satisfy me for another 6 months, at least!

TOO FACED All I Want For Christmas: Another thing that would look lovely under my Christmas tree is this six-piece collection of Too Faced's products. It consists of a blush/eye shadow trio compact, lip creme in the prettiest shade called Believe, a black eye liner, a mascara and the ultimate Too Faced eyeshadow primer. Mostly I just want this whole bundle because of this eyeshadow primer, the rest is just a totally awesome bonus. Oh well...

Real Techniques Sam's Picks Collection: I just started my RT brushes collection and just when I had a problem with choosing the next one, Sam did it for me. This bundle consists of the best and most essential brushes: the Multi-Task Brush I would use for bronzer, Buffing Brush for powder, Essential Crease Blush for eyeshadows, Setting Brush for highlighter, Pointer Foundation Brush for foundation (obviously) and Fine Line Brush for eyeliner. Just perfect!

What is on your Christmas beauty wishlist this year?

NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

I have no idea how this happened but it seems like 2013 is almost over! There's only one month left, can you believe it? The time goes by far too fast, that's a fact. Unfortunately, I can't stop time but I can post my November Favourites!

The first thing I've been really loving this month is The Body Shop Vineyard Peach Body Butter. I've been using it so so much! When I was buying it, I thought it was going to be just like a normal nourishing body lotion or body butter but I was so wrong. The smoothness it has given to my skin is way beyond "normal". 

I've been also really loving my Real Techniques blush brush that I got from my sister as a Birthday gift. It's my first ever RT brush but definitely not the last one. It is so soft and it makes applying blush so easy and quick! The only downside of it is that it makes me want more RT brushes... Oh well, soon! 

As for eye products I've been using the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint a lot. I love using it under eyes. I'm not going to write all of its benefits here because it would make this post far too long but you can read my review here. I've been also wearing a green and grey smoky eye and for that I've been using the Rimmel Glam'Eyes Quad Eyeshadow palette in Thrill Seeker. I just love this shade of green and I think it looks really good with my hazel eyes. I've also been loving the Creep eyeshadow from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. It's just a great shade which looks amazing on its own or as a part of a smoky eye!

Another product I've been loving in November is a Topshop blush in Flush. It's the first cream blush I've ever used and I have to say, I'm in love! I definitely want (NEED!) to try some more cream blushes. And buy some more shades of Topshop's blush, that's how much I love it!

The last thing I've been loving and using A LOT is a Barry M Lip Paint in Touch Of Magic which looks like a green lipstick but actually gives a nice pink shade, a little fuchsia I would say. But what I love about it the most is that it lasts forever! Well, not literally but it stays put for a really long time.

What have you been loving in November?

MY THOUGHTS ON: URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE + EYESHADOW PRIMER POTION

Since I started being more into make up and beauty, I've wanted to have one of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes. About three weeks ago I spotted the Naked Palette on offer and I just couldn't resist any longer. Now I'm a happy user of this amazing product. No wonder there's so much hype surrounding it, it truly is a miracle eyeshadow palette! It is packed with twelve neutral shadows. Some of them are matte like Buck or Naked and some are shimmery like Sidecar or Creep. The palette also includes the Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, which I'd say is not bad but I'd rather use my good old brushes.

My favourite shadow is definitely Darkhorse as I've used it to create every brown smokey eye I've done so far. It is a beautiful chocolate brown shade with a little shimmer. I've also been using Virgin a lot. Virgin is a pearl shade perfect for highlighting. I usually apply it in the inner corners of my eyes. I've also been loving using Hustle, the metallic purple one along with Toasted. I think they look amazing together.

As for the wear, these eyeshadows do stay in place for a long time. They are very easy to apply and to combine with each other. Every single one is very pigmented. I think these are the best quality eyeshadows I own.

The palette comes also with the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Unfortunately I was really disappointed with this product. Maybe my expectations towards it were too high or maybe this is a really low quality eyeshadow primer. When I used it for the first time, the eyeshadow creased after about three hours. It was also the first time I've used the Naked Palette, so imagine how devastated I was. The next day I decided to try using my Paese primer (Paese is a polish, low-end brand but their eyeshadow primer is amazing) and I could go back to being happy, it didn't crease! But of course, I really wanted the Primer Potion to work, mostly because of the packaging which is just magical, and I used it again the following week, on a colder day. But it creased again. And now it just lies somewhere between my other cosmetics waiting for the winter to be used again.

Except for the primer, this Urban Decay Naked Palette is the best thing that happened to my make up collection! I can't wait to get my hand on the Naked 2 Palette!

What do you think of this palette? Which shades are your favourite?

MY URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE HAS ARRIVED!

I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay "Naked" Palette. I am so happy with it that I think I'm gonna use it every single day for the next month... the least. I only just tried all the eyeshadows and I think they're totally amazing but I will probably make a proper review soon, review of the palette as well as the primer which came with it. Now I just want the "Naked 2" palette and I will be forever happy!

Do you own this Naked palette? What do you think about it?
