I am one of those people that has numerous beauty wishlists stored away in my note section on my Iphone, just so I don't forget anything. Only problem is I have so many that I often forget about some of the products. So I thought it would be nice to share the products I'm lusting after with you lovelies on here. This way not only do I remember the products i want the most, but you lovelies can also let me know how you feel about them. I do tick off a good few items off of my wishlists, as i try not to impulse shop and buy just any old thing come payday. It feels good to actually buy the products I'm really lusting after. You can tell by my Instagram that I am not exactly short of beauty products, but the total beauty obsessive in me has to wants to try everything out there that catches my eye. The struggle of a beauty obsessive is real.... and I'm pretty sure I am not alone there. Hands up if your with me? Anyway, lets just jump right in to it....
1. Luxie Beauty Face Brushes | £12.75 Purchased
I will admit that the pink handles are what captured my attention but I also think that they look like amazing quality too. In particular I am lusting after the 502 Large Powder Brush, The 518 Large Powder Brush, 532 Round Kabuki, 504 Angled Brush, 660 Precision Foundation, 530 Flat Top Kabuki, 640 Precision Tapered Face Brush and lastly the 680 Precision face brush. I wouldn't say no to the eye brushes either. Plus you know they are going to look pretty in my Instagram photos.

2. Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Ballerina | £21 Purchased
I love the texture and the finish of the baked gelato swirl products by Laura Mercier and i own quite a few. However Ballerina I have been lusting after for ages. It is a pretty almost rose-gold that is almost identical to Becca's rose gold shimmering skin perfector poured. Anything that is rose gold I am all over like a moth to a flame.

3. Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne 30ml | £43
Roses are by far one of my favourite scents, I know that many people describe rose scents as 'old lady' but to me these scents are nostalgic and take me back to my happy times when my nan was around, who was a ballerina and was very glamorous. They do have to smell authentic though. I cannot stand strong synthetic rose fragrances. Last Christmas when exploring Selfridges in London I fell in love with the Red Roses line by Jo Malone and I vowed to buy everything in the entire line! Obviously wallet permitting... I cannot afford them all at once. So i will settle with purchasing one at a time starting with the cologne, since i already own the Diptique Roses candle. The scent is fresh and relaxing.

4. Too Faced Hangover Primer | £27
I had a sample of this last winter and I really liked it, but I wanted to wait until it got cold again before purchasing the full size. It's very similar to my Marc Jacobs Invisible Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Primer only in much more travel friendly packaging. Infused with Coconut Water it helps to keep the skin looking radiant and hydrated all day long. Hydrating primers are fantastic for my combination skin during the winter months.

5. Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette | £39 Purchased
For quite a while I tried to avoid wanting this palette, telling myself it's too childish with the love hearts or that it's too similar to the other chocolate bar palettes that I already own; But the beauty obsessive in me has decided that I NEED this palette in my life!!!! Even if it's just to look pretty next to it's siblings. I must admit the baby pink packaging is what is reeling me in, Too faced just have some of the prettiest packaging out there. The shades within the palette actually look really wearable too with brown's, golds, and the pop of pinks and mauves.

6. Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipsticks, Liv It Up - Hells Bells & Salmas Secret | £23 each Purchased
I am no stranger to Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks which you can read about here. I kept telling myself I have enough lipsticks and don't need any more, but these three shades are simply stunning and are the ones I would cry over if she stopped making them. So that means I have to them get right? 'Liv it up' is the perfect all year round pinky nude ( and we all know how I feel about my pinky nudes ). Then Salmas secret is a beautiful deep mauve that is wearable all year but especially flattering in the colder months ( plus I adore Salma Hayek, she just oozes beauty, sex appeal and confidence plus how amazing does she look for 50!?? ) and then Hells Bells is the perfect fall-time plummy shade.

7. Becca Pearl Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed | £32
Pearl is pretty much one of the lightest highlighters you can get, but i personally love mixing an icy white highlight with a gold during the winter months. I just find that it not only compliments the season but also my paler skin. The Becca shimmering skin perfectors are fantastic quality, finely milled and incredibly long-wearing.

8. Shiseido Benefiance Cleansing Foam | £43.50 *Not cruelty Free
If I'm honest I don't know what has drawn me to this cleanser, the fact that it mentions 'Foam' should be something that puts me off, but instead I am intrigued. When it comes to testing out a skincare line from a brand i usually like to start with either a cleanser or a face mask. The ingredients in this seem really nice too.

My go-to concealer during the winter months. I have accepted that I have dark circles and sunken under eyes. I have always had them, and they are part of my genes. However this concealer is fully opaque yet heavy duty and lightweight. It really helps to brighten up under my eyes. I do have to set this concealer with a powder though as it can crease on me. Custard is close to my own skin-tone so mixing it with vanilla will help me achieve my perfect shade for highlighting up under the eyes.
10. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation | £31 Purchased
I love this foundation. It gives my skin a beautiful, youthful slightly dewy finish that just makes my skin glow and look healthy. Sadly my last one oxidised as I don't find Nars foundations last the whole year before oxidising. So when I went to Space NK in Covent Garden for my birthday last month I picked up a sample and have since used it all up. Nars in my opinion make some of the best foundations on the market, so I don't mind having to buy a new one every year.

11. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation | £31
Another firm favourite of mine. Mine had oxidised so I passed it along and now need to get a new one. I am more of a light-to-medium coverage person on a day to day basis, but if I do want full coverage then this is the foundation I go for. My skin always looks flawless with this, but it never looks heavy or cakey and I always receive compliments whenever I wear it.

12. Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation | £31
I want to try this as I love the original so much, and it should be perfect during the day when I do want more coverage, as I'm not one for layering lots of concealer. It promises to give a flawless full coverage just like the it's big sister, but lighter. I'm intrigued to see if this is like my Cover FX Natural Finish Oil-Free Foundation ( which I'm obsessed with ) but better for my oily skin.

13. Heimish All Clean Balm | £14 Purchased
I discovered this balm through my lovely friend Renee of Gothamista. I love the Banila Co Clean it Zero balm but it really irritates my eyes and my vision is blurred for a good 30 minutes afterwards. So instead of opting for the Clean It Zero Purity which is hard to get in the UK, I thought I would give the Heimish one a try. It apparently works well to dissolve sebum, and remove all traces of makeup ( yes even waterproof ) and impurities without dehydrating the skin. Buttermilk skincare is a UK based company that I love and trust, so I will be purchasing it from them.
Have you tried any of these products? What is on your wishlist?

I also make lots of lists and forget about them! This is a fantastic idea of remembering atleast most of them. I want to try Hot lips in Salma's secrets by CT too. LG baked gelato illuminator in Ballerina is pretty. I have both Gilded honey and ballerina. I want to try Nars Sheer glow foundation and creamy concealer. I tried velvet matte from Nars but it was not for me!
