Swatches MaqPro Morag Ross Foundation Palette (Top to Bottom): C.R, TL3, 124, 14, C.I, 117
Le Maquillage Professionnel (MAQPro) Foundation & Lip/Cheek Palette & Make Up Mixer: I've been delaying this review for so long - I bought this back in August! These are wax based products that can be used anywhere on the face and body and are extremely popular in showbiz. The finish is unlike I've ever seen before and they are so reasonable! The make up mixer is a brilliant multi use product as it works as a moisturiser, primer, makeup remover and foundation base meaning you can mix it with any foundation from powder to cream as well as controlling the coverage of the product! I'm working on a full review soon.

Swatches (Top to Bottom): NYX Taupe, Shu Uemura Nobara Compact Foundation #754, Benefit Erase Paste: Medium, Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer: 53 'Dark Radiance'
- Shu Uemura 18R Goat Foundation Brush: It is fearful that this brush has made all my other face brushes obsolete, I'm glad I saved up for it. Review coming up soon!
- Benefit Erase Paste Bourjois Concealer: I was so disappointed when I purchased Benefit's erase paste in 'Medium' as the colour didn't work for me at all and I think I would have been better off purchasing the darker colour as this looks very ashy on me. Just as I was about to get rid of it I tested it with another concealer I hardly every use: Bourjois' Healthy Mix concealer - hey presto! A great combination. I lay down the Bourjois under my eyes and then brighten with Erase Paste. - Shu Uemura Nobara Foundation: I picked this up in the Space NK sale as it was cut down to £10 with free delivery from £28. I thought it would be their stick foundation and not this discontinued compact version. Nonetheless, it's got amazing pigmentation and coverage - you only need a tiny bit! It's creamy and sits really well on my dry skin so I'm thinking the stick version is similar.
- NYX Taupe: Another all time favourite as you can see from how much I've used. Before I bought it I thought it wouldn't show up on my NC30/35 skin tone as everyone said it was a great contour for fairer complexions - but Taupe is uber pigmented and would even work if you were darker than me even though it hasn't swatched well above.

Swatches (Top to Bottom): MAC's Smut, Brown Script, Tempting, Tan Pigment, Illamasqua Solstice
- MAC Tan Pigment, Tempting, Smut & Brown Script: This quad is my essential colours to go from day to night for the moment. Lots of combinations and still exciting.
- Illamasqua Solstice: This shade is has been replaced with Electrum which is supposed to be extremely similar. Even though these metals do crease I find the way to show off these true gold beauty is to place it in the inner V of your eye and it adds that something special to your everyday neutral eye.

Swatches (Top to Bottom): Sleek Makeup 'Cherry' Lipstick, BarryM 'Toffee' Lipgloss, Urban Decay Stardust 'Midnight Cowboy' Lipgloss
- Urban Decay 'Midnight Cowboy' Stardust Lipgloss: I'm not into glittery lipgloss, or lipgloss in general but during the holidays I wanted something to make my reds/berries look extra special and this really did the trick. It smells and feels minty. It's slightly thick but not sticky or tacky and has wonderful fine gold sparkle which isn't gritty. I'm now enjoying this over any colour as it makes the lips look luscious and plump! The swatch doesn't do the sparkle justice. - Barry M 'Toffee' Lipgloss: I have 2 of these glosses and they have such a great moisturising texture and don't settle into lip lines. Definitely worth a look!
- Sleek Cherry: I try and wear this every chance I get at the moment. The colour is rich, sultry and warm dark cherry red. I pair it with MAC's Currant lipliner around the outer corners to add some dimension.
- Loreal Telescopic: A fantastic mascara! I don't even need to curl my lashes and I've been getting so many compliments with this. - Guerlain Powder: It's widely known Guerlain makes the best powders and this is no exception! It gives a great soft focus finish that's undetectable on the skin. Any meteorite powder is amazing - this just happens to be from a collection a couple years ago that I was lucky enough to pick up cheaply from Ebay a while ago!

- Romwe Shoes: Bought these guys a couple of months ago and them misplaced them! Found them and been wearing nonstop! They're surprisingly comfortable and are such an easy way to edge up a casual outfit.
I'd love to know what you guys can't get your hands off these days?
