Giving you all an insight into what is on my wishlist this Christmas has become somewhat of a tradition round these parts every #DitsyDecember - as you can see from my posts here, here, here and here! As soon as December starts, I think we all tend to have a little think about what we're eyeing up and hoping to be sitting underneath the tree come Christmas Morning and this year is no different. As always, it's mostly beaut-related (as, if you haven't guessed already, it's what I know and love the most) but I thought it'd still be good to have a little rundown of everything that's caught my attention. So, without any further ado - let's get started...
BPERFECT X STACEY MARIE CARNIVAL XL PRO PALETTE - I just had to put this one on here! Having finally got the chance to try the original BPerfect X Stacey Marie Carnival Palette earlier this year and - Spoiler Alert - having later fell in complete and utter love with it, the announcement of this bigger version not too long afterwards got me quite excited. Featuring some colours from the first palette (some of which are my favourites) and a whole host of new stunning shades, in another super bright, bold and colourful colour scheme where the possibilities of looks are virtually endless - sounds good, right? I wasn't looking at picking it up anytime soon as I was already so happy with the first one, but with Christmas now coming up I thought I'd just throw it on my wishlist this year...
REVOLUTION PRECIOUS STONE EYESHADOW PALETTE IN 'RUBY' - The next eyeshadow palette of this wishlist comes from good ol' Revolution - of course. It wouldn't be a wishlist post from me without a mention of one of their palettes, right? And of all of their Christmas Collection this year, their palettes are what have caught my eye the most. They're similar to their last seasonal palettes (which I didn't pick up but loved the look of) and also their Carmi 'Make Magic' Palette (which I do own and love) - where's there's the normal pans of mattes and shimmers and then a row of larger pans of almost cream-to-powder foil-type shades. And of them all, this colour scheme is perhaps my favourite of them all. Packed full of reds, pinks, oranges, purples - all of those gorgeous rich, warm tones which you can wear more 'neutral' or build up to be more colourful and bright! But honestly, I think the main selling point to me is getting my hands on some more of those amazing pressed cream shadows and if the formula is exactly the same, I think this could be a really good addition to my palette collection!
I HEART REVOLUTION CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE PALETTE - The final palette is again kinda from Revolution - but this time, I Heart Revolution. I have wanted to try one of their infamous Chocolate Bar Palettes for so, so long but have never got round to picking one up and whenever I have thought about, I've always struggled choosing which one would be right for me. However,this most recent addition to the range is perhaps one of the loveliest I've seen so far - so it just had to go on this wishlist! Kinda similar to the palette mentioned above, this is very much red and pink-based, - but of course it's just got the classic selection of mattes and shimmers this time - but with a pretty good balance between the two, which is always essential. I've heard pretty good things about the formula of this range of palettes so I certainly would love to have this in my stash!
PROFUSION GLITTER EYES SET - I've never dabbled in Profusion as a brand before personally, but I have seen a few things from them in the past that have caught my attention and usually, it's from their seasonal range that comes in at Boots and this year was no exception - this set of liquid glitter shadows just looks so gorgeous! It's no secret that I love my liquid glitters. Whether they be from Stila or more affordable brands like Barry M, Lottie London or Technic - typically, they're awesome and by far my favourite and easiest way to use glitter on my eyes. And this collection looks so nice and so affordable too! There's three liquid glitter shadow toppers and then two cream shadow sticks and though it's the former which attracts me the most, it all sounds pretty good to me. They're all in very 'Christmassey', true metallic colours too...
BENEFIT COOKIE HIGHLIGHTER - It wouldn't be a wishlist from me without a mention of a highlighter somewhere and this time, it has to go to this one from Benefit. Ever since they launched this as part of a cheek set I think for Christmas last year, everyone has been raving about it and not too long ago, they finally released it as a single pan! Every time I see it swatched, shown or used online (whether it be in videos or photos) I love the look of the shade - it's like the perfect light champagne - and not only does it seem like the kind of highlighter colour I love, it also seems to look like it would suit and not be too deep for my paler skin tone too.
TOO FACED PAINT THE WORLD PINK SET - This gift set looks so good - full of a few bestsellers from Too Faced! Inside you not only get a full sized Better Than Sex Mascara (which is one that I really love, just don't buy too often as it's more on the pricier side) but also a full sized Hangover Primer (which I've always wanted to try, but never got round to) and Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Child Star' (which again, is a range of liquid lipsticks I've always eyed up and in terms of shades, this is the nude colour I think I'd opt for) and then just to top things off, there's a mini Lip Injection Extreme Lip Gloss too! All in all, this sounds like a pretty good set of products which are all really useable and useful and at a good value too.
LMX 'GET VOCAL' LIP SET - LMX have another range for Christmas again and like before, the lip set is the one which has made it onto my wishlist. Full of lip liners, matte liquid lipsticks, lipglosses and toppers - all in complementary colours so they go together nicely. Of all of the LMX collection, the lip products are what I heard the best things about last year and so far this time around too so I'd quite like to give them a go myself! As you likely know already, I love a good lip liner and matte liquid lipstick and I'm coming round to and using lipglosses and toppers quite a lot more recently so all in all, this collection seems like it'd be really nice addition to my collection!

SOAP AND GLORY 'NAUGHTY BUT SPICE' COLLECTION - Again, it wouldn't be a Christmas wishlist from me without me throwing in a set from Soap and Glory. They're one of my favourite and most-used fragrance and bodycare brands all year round and especially when it comes to the festive season, they launch so many lovely sets full of not only some of their fan favourites, but also new and exclusive products too. And last year, that was their limited edition 'Naughty But Spice' Collection. I did originally put it on my wishlist this time last year as I loved the look and sound of the scent and products they used it for and even after there wasn't anything sitting pretty under the tree come Christmas Day, I still managed to get my hands on one of the sets in the Sales. Fast forward a year and I've nearly used all of it up and loved it very much so I knew I had to add it back onto my wishlist now they've re-released it again for 2019. And why not go for the complete collection this time, now I know how much I loved the sweet-but-spicy fragrance? Although to be honest, I'd be more than happy with anything from the whole range really!
GHOST DEEP NIGHT EAU DE TOILETTE - If you've been reading round these parts this year, you'll likely know that I tried a new perfume and so far, it's quickly become a new favourite. Sweet but not too sweet and kinda musky - it's very much my type of fragrance that I usually love and go for - and although I've still got a good amount left (I only really use perfume for special occasions/nights out/when I really wanna be all fancy and use cheaper body sprays elsewhere) I'd love to continue using it when it all runs out - so why not throw it onto the wishlist?
AND FINALLY... LOOSE LEAF TEAS! - Lastly, a more 'miscellaneous' inclusion - Loose Leaf Teas! I've really got into them properly this year after being gifted a couple for my Birthday and I'm already considering adding some more into my 'tea cupboard'. I used to avoid them as I always thought they'd be difficult to use but actually, just get yourself a strainer and measuring spoons and you're good to go! Plus, there always seems to be so many more variations and flavours on offer for the loose leaf varieties - which is always a good thing...
