Wish List

Hey! So I am have been completely swamped over the last week! I am currently studying for a Post Graduate Masters in Human Resources Management, which is as hard as it sounds! I have my final exams in January, so the end is in sight! I am so excited.

My wish list this week has some cheeky Christmas items that have entered! I love Christmas and always want to buy everything for myself.

1 - Ciante Nails Advent Calender - Selfidges £ 38 ( now out of stock :-( however there is hope... ) they have hinted at the chance of more to be released...

2 - Personalised Iphone Cover - £24 - Like my case

I love this, I have seen some people such as Fluer de Force with their own covers, this is a pic that I took back in the summer whilst on a walk with the boy, I have played around with the filters on Pic Monkey too.

3 - Magic Wand Bubble Bar - £4.95 Lush

Every Blogger loves this! I am pretty new to Lush and have only really adventured as far as their Bath Bombs ( which can be hit or miss) but I am partical to a cheeky treat in my bath. I have read lots about this on my regular bloggers sites and do really want to try this out for myself.

4 - Philosophy Sugar Plum Fairy Set - £16

This, in all fairness is pretty expensive but is so lush! Who does not love purple glittery shower gel?! I love anything that is bought out for the seasons - I have heard that there are some questionable ingredients in these products, but if I am honest this does not bother me too much

5 - Palmers Coco Butter Skin Therapy oil - Feel Unique £9.99

I am a fan of Palmers, whilst the smell I am not keen on as I feel it is just a little too sweet, I love what this does for your skin. I currently use their fake tan (which I have done a review on here) and I really think that it leaves your skin looking so lovely. Oil wise, I have used Elimis hot oil, which is very luxirious but expensive, ao I am looking for a cheaper alernative.

What is on your wish list this week?

Weekly Wishes

This weeks wish list has some pretty pricey items on it.. however I think that is what a wish list is for and you never know who may be looking at your wish list for Christmas (in my dreams)

1 - Blue Scarf Snood, River Island

If you have seen my previous post about my favourite little things in Autumn you will know that I love a big chunky scarf. I love to wear bright colours that I wear with either my black or cream coats to make them really stand out. (if you have not seen my post, you can here ) I love River Island's clothes too, I could wear them all the time!

2 - Liz Earle, Sheer Skin Tint

As do most bloggers, I love Liz Earl products, I think they are so luxurious and smell delicious, along with doing wonders for your skin. I have read on many different blogs that the Sheer Skin Tint by Liz Earl is  most have so I am hoping to give this a go soon too!

3 - Halo, 20" Remy Human Hair in Light Brown

I am desperate for long hair! I have been growing my hair for a good year or so now and have just reached below my shoulders. I first saw Halo's on twitter and thought they were fab, you just place the ring under your hair on the crown part of your head and brush through to have lovely locks in under 3 mins.... AMAZE! also there is no chance of any bonds or clips showing!

4 -  HoMedics me Quartz permanent hair reduction

I want this Sooo bad! I suffer pretty badly with dark hair in places that I do no want it to be so am forever shaving,waxing and bleaching. all my answers could be answered with this reduction system that you can do at home. If I had £400 spare this is defiantly the product that I would buy, I wish you could hire this sort of thing...

5 - Michael Kors MK5464 Watch

I really love these watches, I know they have been popular with bloggers for a few years now. My friend recently picked one up in rose gold and it is beautiful.. I am hoping for this for Christmas (hint hint... )

Thank you for checking out my wish list this week, what is on your wish list? I'd love it if you could leave your links below for me to have a read.

September Wishlist

I Love the Autumn and although I am aware that it is only September and it could still be classed as Summer, I get really excited at this time of year as I know for the next few months the tress will turn brown the air will cool and I will be able to pull on my cosy jumpers and Ugg boots in front of our fire.

This month’s wish list for me mainly features hair care products and skincare products; I like to ensure that during the colder months my locks and skin stay fresh.

Alpha - H Liquid Gold

I have heard great things about this product from various bloggers, you are meant to apply to your skin every other night before bed. It contains glycolic acid which is recognised for its 'rejuvenating' qualities ( I think it's a little scary, the thought of putting acid on my face) however it is meant for the treatment and reduction of minor skin complaints such as, fine lines, wrinkles acne and breakouts. these are all things that I have on my skin. I am really looking forward to giving this a go.

Moroccon Oil Treatrment

Again this is another product that I have heard great things about. I suffer from awful frizz if I do not straighten my hair every day, this frizz gets worse when I add bleach to the combo so I love anything that can tame my locks. I currently use Fizz Ease which I do like but I find I have to add allot to get it under control. This for me is a must buy on payday.

Daniel Sandler Super Gloss - Super Necter

I am loving oranges and corals at the moment I think it is such a nice autumn colour. I also love Daniel Sandler makeup which I was new to this year, so would love to give this a go.

Orla Kiely Home Diffuser - Sage & Cassis

Sage is 'in' apparently at the moment as a home fragrance (not sure how a home smell can be fashionable, but hey) I love reed diffusers as they give you a lovely long lasting smell that fills the whole house whilst looking pretty on your shelves.

Paul Mitchell Volumising Spray

Another hair product. I am in love with Paul Mitchell hair care, I first came across them from my local hair dressers when I bought his Super Slip which helps your hair dry in supersonic time, amazing! I also use his heat defence spray too which is lush. My hair is pretty flat unless I add product, so this is another I must try next month.

Kms California Colorvitality Blonde Treatment

I have recently Ombre my hair, which as I have mentioned above, looks great but does nothing for the condition. My friend recently bought over some 'purple shampoo' which is meant for the treatment of bleached hair. Apparently, the purple tones counter act the brassy and yellow tones from the bleach whilst conditioning your hair back to full strength... sound too good to be true?! I will sure let you know

Thanks for stopping by to see my wish list, what is on your list this week? I'd love to see your lists, so please leave your links in the comment section below

Thank you!

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
