My Top 5 Product Wishlist 2011

Hope everyone had a brilliant New Year's countdown - what did everyone get up to? I got a text from my boyfriend saying, "Night, sweet dreams!" at 12PM.. he seems to have forgotten the time difference :P

So for my first post of 2011, I decided to list the top 5 products I want in 2011 (cuz if I didn't set myself a number, I'd have a list as long as the Bible). I got this idea through Jo from BeautyliciousLove.com who did a post on products she wants to try this year :)

MAC Paint Pots (£13) - I've heard this makes an amazing eyeshadow base, but as I have 2 eyelid primers at the moment, the prospect of getting Soft Ochre with my Project 15 Pan going on is highly unlikely. So my first pick is Vintage Selection from the Cham-Pale collection :)

Urban Decay Naked Palette (£27) - I know I'm a bit slow to get on board with this, but I'd bought my Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette right before this came out, and started getting into MAC eyeshadows which made me feel that I would not need this palette. I think I was wrong.

MAC 15 Eyeshadow Palette (£11)- This is my second project of 2011: to start building my MAC palette and.. obvs can't do that without this baby! :) Atm, my plan is to have 12 neutral-ish eyeshadows, and 3 colours.

Jemma Kidd Make-Up Book (£12.38)- I love learning techniques, it's probably one of my favourite things to watch on YouTube. I think I've watched most technique videos from my favourite MUAs online, so this is just another way I can keep learning. I want to learn how to use the products I have, rather than keep buying stuff.

Sigma Make Me Blush Brush Set (about £75 with shipping)- You may already know that I've just started my brush collection, and yeah this may be a whim kind of thing, considering it's just come out two days ago, but a lot of the brushes I've been looking at from Sigma's website is in this set so.. there. Justified. The only thing holding me back is wondering whether in the long run it'd be better for me to invest in MAC ones.. hm. (Can't forget the free gift that comes with ever $30 purchase either! ;) )

I also endeavor to branch into other brands like Chanel, Dior or YSL, but because I haven't really researched, I couldn't tell you what exactly.. haha. And O.P.I as well, I bought my first one this year and loved it! I've decided that nail polishes will not be part of my P15P as I don't have an excessive amount, so hopefully another purchase on the way back from Japan in Duty Free! :)

So there you have it, my top 5 products I want to get during 2011. Have any of you guys tried these products, and do you think these should be on my list? What products are on your wishlist this year? :)
