Last year's beauty palette post was such a hit and really, who doesn't love a great palette?!

Makeup Palette Math

Simple Beauty Math: 1 base colour (lid) + 1 contour colour (crease) + 1 liner (lashline) = Gorgeous!

Drama Beauty Math: 1 base colour (lid) + 1 contour colour (crease) + 1 liner (lashline) + 1 Highlight (tearduct and brow bone) = STUNNING!

TIP: Eyeliner applied heavily onto the inner rim will add a quick smoky effect. Try grey, brown, plum or basic black.

Here are the must-have beauty items for Holiday 2011, whether a selfish Scroogette who wants them all for yourself or for gift-giving these are my pretty picks:

Bobbi Brown Ultimate Party Collection $65.00 USD by Bobbi Brown at Neiman Marcus Model picture from the Bobbi Brown It's Your Party collection.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks are a staple in my makeup kit. This is a great new addition for holiday as well as fab for highlighting a gorgeous bridal makeup.

4-Step Smoky Eyes Palette - Golden Brown $28.00 USD at The Body Shop, Yes, I just blogged about this one. And yes, I love it. [Comes in Silver Black too!]

Urban Decay Nail Polish Set $28.00 USD by Urban Decay at Sephora If you have girl sextuplets you can divide these into their stockings. I love mini bottles of polish. I actually buy these for my nail kit when I can since I never use up a full bottle of polish.
