And a happy Sunday evening to you all! On this lazy rainy weekend I've been perusing the internet (at length!) and have found a few products and gift sets I would be ecstatic to find in my Christmas stocking this year.

Firstly (and most ambitiously), I watched a vlog review of the Smashbox Masterclass 3 palette and I FELL IN LOVE. This is an eye shadow, contour and blush palette exclusive to Sephora - it was released last year but passed me by until now. The shadows include a good selection of neutrals plus some extra bright and sparkly shades - a really good balance and some shades that I definitely don't already have in my collection. This is a pricey palette once you factor in shipping to the UK but hopefully, if I'm very very good, Santa will find it in his heart to bring this to me.

Another eye shadow related gift (yes, I know, I have a problem) is a selection of Make Up Geek shadows I've been angling for. I have wanted to try these shadows for a long long time and I am very much hoping to add these to my collection soon. They have just released 20 new matte shades in their collection as well as their foiled and duochrome shadows. I definitely haven't gone through every single shade on their website and hand selected the shades I want already. Definitely not....

Moving on to yet more make up, I would absolutely love to try the Stila Stay All Day liquid lipsticks and currently they have a gift set of 6 shades available for just £29. The Eternally Yours Liquid Lipstick set includes 6 deluxe size liquid lipsticks in an utterly gorgeous range of colours. My love for liquid lipsticks is strong and I've heard such good things about these Stila ones that I'm practically itching to order these myself!

And finally, and I'm afraid, still make up related, is the Make Up Revolution Ultra Sculpt and Blend collection. This set includes a Beauty Blender-esque sponge applicator, two angled contouring brushes and one fluffy blending brush. For £14.99 I think this good value and I love the rose gold finish (who wouldn't?). They are also all products I am in desperate need of - I love it when a gift is actually useful.

So, that's my Christmas wish list edit - obviously I will still be very grateful for the replenishment of my sock drawer and the obligatory selection box - but these are the products that I am just about resisting buying myself out of pure impatience!

What are you all hoping for this Christmas?
