Lol It can be anything beauty related that you haven't been able to put down since you purchased it!

Ready! Set! Goooo!!!!




Ooooh nice challenge!!!

My top 5 for 2011 would be:
- Laura Mercier Book of Nudes palette
- NARS Danmari blush palette
- NARS Makeup Your Mind set
- Stila Perfect and Correct Foundation
- Laura Mercier Silk Road palette (from spring collection)

Would love to hear what other ones people have!


I'm afraid I succumbed to the temptation of the Debenhams sale over the weekend, I got Chanel polish in Quartz from the fall collection and another Smashbox eye palette (the Brown Eyes one was so good I bought the Hazel palette)...

Ooh the Danmari palette is great! Don't think it falls into my list though!

My top 5 (guess we'll stick to 5 )
- MAC Mighty Aphrodite blush
- Clarisonic Plus
- NARs Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in New Lover
- Guerlain Terra Inca Illuminator
- MAC Jealousy Wakes/Humid Eyeshadow (I can't decide, both are gorgeous greens!!)


I can't believe there are no Chanel products in my top 5! Emervielle is definitely a runner up and so is the Topkapi quad if it wasn't for the fact that I rarely use it because I don't want to ruin the pretty pattern *rolls eyes*


I saw the Smashbox sets - look great!

I've bought so many things and have so much stuff that I can't really decide on a top 5. I don't use anything over and over again due to the size of my stash.

I've bought so many things and have so much stuff that I can't really decide on a top 5. I don't use anything over and over again due to the size of my stash.

I tend to buy a product, fall in love with it and than get over it after a few days when I buy something else. But there are a few items that just cannot compare to anything new I buy, a good example is Guerlain Terra Inca powder which is hands down the best highlighter I own!

I just realised I also LOVE Chanel Bronze Corail that came out in the summer, it leaves my skin 'glowy' and lasts the whole day, plus its a blush/bronzer/highlighter/face powder in one!

I cannot explain my love for Chanel, I was just looking at pictures of the Spring 2012 Ready To Wear collection *dies*

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, exactly, I buy something, love it, then move on. There are a few things I bought and love, but they'll be recent purchases like the Dior lipsticks, Guerlain Garconne and Girly Rouge G lipsticks, my million new nail polishes, of course Guerlain Cruel Gardenia, Mac Rare Exotic mattene, etc.

Funny that the Guerlain Terra Inca is a highlighter for you, it's more of a bronzy blush for me, I guess I must be a lot paler.

Oh and I love the look of the new Chanel spring collection, have you seen swatches of the blush? http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2011/12/blush-horizon-de-chanel.html

I'm just the same lol. I guess if my stash were a lot smaller then things would get proper use.

I can't really bring my favourites down to a top 5, but I think my favourite MAC collection this year was the Mega Metals. I've also given a lot of love to Candy Yum Yum and Love Forever Prolongwear lipstick. Then of course I discovered a love for Chanel's Illusion d'Ombre eyeshadows, and Chanel's 'Famous' lipstick.



Despite the rotten weather we've been having, and a huge list of 'things to do', I'm feeling happy today. My Mum has phoned to say that my Dad is coming home from the hospital later today

That's great your Dad is coming home today! The weather has been quite gloomy for the past few days! I think everyone is just holding their breath so it doesn't snow!

The Illusion D'Ombre was a great purchase and I'm waiting for new stock to arrive in stores so I can buy 2 more shades! I think my favourite collection from MAC has to be the Bloggers Obsession Collection which they disappointedly never bought to the UK! I only have one Mega Metal eyeshadow and love it, the Pro Longwear eyeshadow which came out a few months ago is just as good in my opinion

 

[banana1234]

i'm still waiting for the purple illusion d'ombre, its sold out everywhere!

i havent bought any cosmetics in AGES! unless you count a mascara, but that is like a necessity

 

[Anitacska]

Glad your dad has gone home today.

[Anitacska]

Thanks for that, Alisha and Dawn! You just reminded me I want some stuff from the Paul & Joe cat collection.

Off topic: Had a dream involving Jon Bon Jovi and Louie Spence. Weird or what, lol?!

Hey guys.

I know this is a bit random but my family and I are going through a really really bad situation. I'd love it if you could send prayers/good vibes our way. We really need them.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Nazia, positive vibes and big hugs coming your way. xxx

I went to Kingston today and had a look at the Metal-X eyeshadows and I actually really liked Fusin Gold and Cyber, so ended up ordering them from Mac online with the free strobe cream.

I've also finally placed my HoF order with my £10 off voucher, so I ordered Palladium as well. Hope they won't disappoint.

 

[Anitacska]

Has anyone seen these eyeshadows in Tesco? I got them the other day. They reminded me of the EL gel e/s that are coming out on Boxing Day, although these are not gel. £8 each, but 3 for 2 atm, and they actually swatch really nicely. I love the taupe one (bottom left) especially. I will review them on my blog asap.
