January Wish List.

Unlike many other wish lists, which usually are fairly long, this wish list isn’t that long. Mainly because there are a lot of things I’m interested in, however wish to try them and test them in-store first. Therefore I have split this into ‘Wish List’ of products I most definitely want, and ‘Try List’ which are products I want to try first to see if I like them or not.

Wish List

Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Makeup Compact

‘Giorgio Armani Beauty introduces a new expression of Maestro Haute Couture foundation. Its revolutionary texture is now available in a compact. 
This multi-purpose product conceals like a foundation, offers precision touch-ups and camouflages blemishes. 

Maestro fusion makeup compact is a new sensual and enveloping step. 
Its extraordinary formulation transforms application into a unique sensory experience.’

Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush

‘The F80 is one of the SigmaX High Definition face brushes made with Sigma's synthetic HD filament. The flat top kabuki brush from Sigma has a black handle and tightly packed dense head. The flat surface of the brush allows you buff products to achieve a flawless finish. Perfect for applying and blending liquid and powder products.’

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin-Calming Face Mask

‘Dr. Weil for Origins™ Mega-Mushroom Skin-Calmin creamy treatment mask with Hypsizygus Ulmarius, Cordyceps and Reishi mushrooms along with Ginger, Holy Basil and Turmeric rushes to relief to challenged skin to help soothe signs of compromise. Chinese Black Bamboo Leaf Extract, celebrated for centuries as a symbol of eternal youth, helps quell and calms visible redness and reactivity. A unique blend of marine algae and moisture-replenishing plant extracts helps revitalise and restore luminosity to stressed skin and rebuild a protective barrier to help avoid future flare-ups.’

Fat Face Protea Check Pyjama Shorts

‘Cute check shorts with frill edges and lace trims. Pearl buttons, soft brushed cotton, frilled edge and herringbone drawcord.’

Try List

(Basically this is a list of products I want to really test this month and hopefully like and buy)

Origins Quick-Hide Longwearing Concealer

‘Shadows, wrinkles and redness will never know what hid them. Soft-focus filters diminish fine lines and flaws. And the creamy, fix-it-and-forget-it coverage floats over skin with the greatest of ease. No creasing, no caking, no stuck-in-one-spot. Long-wearing. Heat and sweat resistant.’

Too Faced Absolutely Flawless Concealer

‘Creamy, pigment-rich, buildable formula smoothes on easily to provide sheer-to-full coverage. A naturally powerful combination of Vitamins A, E, and Chilean Tree and bark extract moisturizes, fights puffiness, and firms skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and the loss of elasticity. An innovative blend of Natural Marine Peptides and hyaluronic filling spheres help to increase eye area's hydration level to smooth surface imperfections.’

NYX ND Photogenic Concealer Wand

‘This lightweight cover-up obscures imperfections, discoloration and under eye circles, without ever looking cakey or obvious. Little wonder the Concealer Wand is one of our best-sellers. The concentrated, emollient-rich formula goes on like a dream, and creates medium to heavy coverage. Use the lavender for sallow skin, the green to reduce the appearance of redness and the yellow for under-eye darkness’

As you can see, there are 3 different concealers on this list. The main reason for this is because I’m attempting to find the perfect concealer to help cover mainly blemishes without being overly heavy. Therefore these are the top 3 concealers I have found which don’t cost and arm and a leg.

Lancôme Gloss in Love – Shades 383 and 385

‘This moisturising lip gloss envelops lips in a brilliant high-shine, while our innovative double-sided applicator provides customisable coverage. Our unique curved Lip Shaper coats the lower lip while the pointed Lip Liner precisely defines the upper lip for a sophisticated look. Choose from 12 instantly addictive shades to create your own shimmering, show-stopping lip effects.’

Dior Addict Gloss – Shades 122, 382 and 771

‘Its magical formula gives lips unprecedented mirror shine and incredible comfort. Its secret: the Mirror Shine Complex with polarized crystalline micro-spheres that adjust the reflection of light to create the magic of a perfect mirror.  The gel lipcare formula, enriched with hyaluronic acid spheres, plumps and moisturizes lips for an intensified volume-boosting effect.’

Dior Pore Minimizer

‘A skin-refining primer that mattifies and refines the skin, minimizes pores and smooths fine lines immediately upon application. Its formula evens out the complexion and erases blemishes with a sheer and weightless finish.’

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser

‘Maybelline Baby Skin provides a matte finish and leaves the skin fresh, soft and protected. The gel texture in Baby Skin instantly helps to vanish pores and makes the skin feel light. 

Yes this is the battle of the pore minimizer’s…high end vs. drugstore.
