A Bank Holiday Wish List

 

 

 

 

1 - The O by Cloud Nine - £ 199.95 available here I have wanted this for such a long time, I have heard and seen such great reviews of it. One day.. One Day.

2 - Body and Bath Works, 3 Wick Candle - £various These are only available in the USA at the moment I believe, I would love someone to correct me, I had one from a friend that was so lush I wish I could get another, They are available on Ebay but the shipping costs are rather pricey! 

3- MAC Impassioned Lip Stick - £ 14 avalilable here  I recently went to MAC and saw this colour and have no idea why I did not purchase it! grrr. This is one of MAC's amplified colours, which in my opinion are the best, they give such a nice moisturised colour to your lips! 

4 - NARS Bronzing Powder, Laguna - £25 available here I am new to NARS, I have 2 blushes which I am in love with, I want to venture out into the bronzers too!

5 - NARS Andy Warhol Limited Edition Eye Palette. I am not sure if you can get these yet, they are part of the AW12 collection so may not be avalibe yet, You can get this in 3 different colours, I love the Grey one. As I have said before I'm a sucker for anything gimmicky! 

6 - Cannon EOS 600D Digital SLR Camera - £ 519.99 available here. Again this is another item on my wish list that will stay there for a while! I would love to invest in this camera to make all my photos look super professional! I would also like to start Vlogging. 

7 - Grey Ello Worm Jumper form Labyrith Sweater - £29.99 available here. Labyrinth was one of my favourite films as a wee nipper and I love the quirky clothes you can get from Truffle Shuffle.

Wishful Thinking #2

This weeks wish list has some  of my most wanted products including the ONE product I need... as I want it so badly, I will start with it...

 Sigma Beauty - Limited Edition Paris Palette $59

I am in love with this palette! the colours are absolutely beautiful, and have been inspired by famous landmarks in Paris.They are also really nicely named after the places. Within the palette you get 8 eye shadows, 3 blushers and 2 applicator brushes. I can only find this on the American Sigma site, so I am doubtful that I can order it, but would do anything to get my hands on it. 

You can get this here on the US Sigma site

Leighton Denny, Lip Dual - 03 In The Nude £17.50

These Lip colours are amazing, you effectively get three products in one. It is designed so you can wear the Lip Stain during the day, which gives you a subtle colour that stays put until you remove it (it reminds me a little of Benefit's 'Benetint' ). You can then change the look for a more glossy night time finish, by adding the Lip Stick to give you a dewy satin lip colour. You can get these in 10 different colours, my favourite is the coral shades of In The Nude.

 you can pick these up here

Sigma Essentials Kit - Make Me Blush £121.99

Again this is another Sigma product that has been on my wish list for such a long time. I love these brushes, and love the fact you can get them in some quite funky colours. I am really into corals and pinks at the moment, so really want to get my hands on the Make Me Blush kit. in the kit you get 12 brushes that Sigma say, you can complete your makeup with, you also get the brushes in a solid leather holder which is great, if like me you need to transport your makeup to different shoots.

I have found these here in the UK and also here on the sigma site.

NARS - Sheer Glow Foundation £29.50

I have been having a battle recently with foundation, I have found it really difficult to find one that I love and would wear everyday. I spent years being a smoker ( I have now quit for 9 months woo!) so as a result, I do not have the best complexion and I love a flawless finish. This foundation has a satin finish which I feel instantly wakes my skin up and gives me the flawless look I want. I can't wait to get paid and buy this foundation! 

You can grab this here at John Lewis

MAC - Lustre Drops £17.50

This is a liquid shimmery bronzer in effect, I think that it is too shimmery to wear 'neat' on your skin, however I love to add a few drops to my foundation to give me a shimmery radiant glow. I guess in a way it's a way to make your own NARS Sheer Glow foundation with your own drug store foundation! this bottle will last you yonks, so is defiantly a cheaper way to get the same effect. 

you can get this here at Debenhams

What do you think of my Wednesday wish list? what's on yours?

My Haul...

I recently I went on a little spending spree... I got a bonus at work and decided to go and treat myself to some makeup that I had wanted for a while. I got a mixture of different things, the most exciting of which was 4 NARs blushers, OK so only 3 are for me and one is for my lovely giveaway winner but still pretty frickin exciting!

I have wanted to get a NARS  blusher for a while, ever since I saw 'Deep throat' on someones blog and got insanely jealous. So when I had the cash to spend on some makeup, I thought I would treat both myself and one of my subscribers to one.

Revlon - 'Just Bitten Kissable' Balm Stain in 020 Lovesick Passionate

I love these balms, they are so easy to apply and smell delicious! this is such a nice bright summer pink which lasts all day. I was really surprised that i did not have to re-apply at all, even when I was drinking all day.

you can get these from Boots for £5.99

Bourjois - Healthy Balance, Unifying Powder in 56 Light Bronze 

For those of you who read my blog, you will know I am an ambassador for Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation. This powder is the perfect partner for the foundation, it goes on so lightly to give you a soft bronzed glow. It smells beautiful and fruity and lasts all day.

You can get this also from Boots for £8.49

Maybelline New York - Color Sensational Lip Color in 812 Delicate Pearl 

I am really into lipsticks and lip colour at the moment. This was a little bit of a random purchase for me ( I think I was drawn in by the packaging.) I love Maybelline products and would go as far as saying they are my favourite drugstore brand so I am quite prone to the odd random buy from them. This is a beautiful subtle colour that I feel is the perfect alternative to lip salve and really makes my lips look soft.

You can grab this also at boots for £7.19

NARS - Blush in various colours

I am completely sold on these! at a whopping £21 each, I spent over £80 on these, I am not sorry and would do it again, the payoff of the colours is amazing and I can't wait to use them in a tutorial. I usually use Benefit Blush which is pretty pricy in itself and I can say that I probably will not pick it up again.

 Albatross comes out as a golden highlighter that is perfect for my cheeks. and something that I have looked for for a long time.

You can pick these up here at John Lewis for £21 - and amazingly (well to me) you can get them delivered to your local Waitrose store for collection the very next day! LOVE IT
