August 2015 Wishlist

When it comes to wishlists, there isn't ever enough space to include everything that I want! I thought that I would do a August/Summer wishlist.

 

Zoella Let's Spritz Body Mist: 

I love fruity smells so when I first got a sniff of this I loved it instantly, and no, not just because it is by Zoella. I also have the first body mist too.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow:

 When it comes to my eyebrows, I can never find a product which I really like and can never stick with one. I have heard amazing reviews about this product, I would love to own this one day.

Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Fruitii:

 These lip butters are so moisturizing and soft on the lips, they have a wide selection of colours, But as it's now into the Summer, what colour is better than a coral?!

Mac All That Glitters Eyeshadow:

 This is one of those easy eye shadows which will go with any lip colour. I love a plain glittery eye.

Benefit Coralista Blush:

 When it comes to blushes, coral tones suit be better as i'm a natural red head. I have always wanted to try this blusher but never come to buying it, I definitely will be soon.

NYC Bronzer:

 This is a cheap bronzer but I have heard that it's a great product. I suck with bronzers, so I always like to experiment with cheaper bronzers to get used to,

Little Mix Gold Magic Perfume:

 I am a massive fan of Little Mix so when they said they were releasing a perfume I was so excited. I haven't had the money available to be able to buy this yet, but it smells very fruity!

Lush Roots Hair Treatment;

 I have tried many of Lush's hair products but this is one i'm yet to try. It's very conditioning for the hair and great for stimulating the scalp. I feel like every once in a while everyone needs a good old hair treatment!

Real Techniques Contour Brush:

 Real Techniques brushes are brilliant, I have all their original range and dying to try bold metals, but I just can't bring myself to fork out so much money for one brush?! I would love to have this brush.

MUA Haul

If there is one brand that is affordable and good quality it's MUA. They have a nice little range of things so I went to Superdrug the other day and picked up a few of their things. I got 3 lipsticks,1 of which is matte, 1 blush and a nail polish.

These are the lipsticks that I got, I had never actually tried MUA lipsticks before today. They're very soft and easy to glide onto the lips, although you have to work a bit harder with the matte one. They're very pigmented as soon as they're on the lips, can't go wrong for £1 each?! Juicy & Peachy Keen are both coral colours which are both gorgeous while Tulip is more pink. My favourite is Juicy.

I then got a blush which was also just £1 which is an amazing price for a blush. It is a pretty pink blush with just a little bit of sparkle. I haven't actually tried this yet but I am so excited to. This blush is in the shade Bubblegum, I have heard raving reviews on this blush especially!

I then thought I'll get a nail polish, if I am totally honest, I was not expecting much from their nail polishes. I am totally a Barry M girl when it comes to polishes but when I saw the colour I just had to get it. This was also just £1! I picked a gorgeous coral colour in the shade Sweet Peach, again, I haven't tried this yet but it looks like a beautiful summer colour so will be using it very soon!

Beauty/Skincare Wish List

Recently I've been eyeing up so many beauty & skincare products but at the moment I have got literally no money. This is the problem with beauty, there is absolutely thousands of products to choose from you could spend so much money! I'm saving up my money so I can hopefully buy a things which are on my wish list.

• Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask - I've previously used the Cupcake mask but wanted to try a different one. BB Seaweed has fresh seaweed, ground almonds, rose absolute and aloe vera to sooth the skin which sounds so great. Also has kaolin which removes any excess dirty or oil on the skin which is what my skin needs! 

• Sleek Face Form Palette In Fair - Sleek is one of my favourite make up brands, I have quite a few of their products and have never had a problem. I've been eyeing this up for ages and I've heard so many raving reviews on this. It contains a highligher, bronzer and a blush.

• Makeup Revolution Blush Palette In Sugar And Spice - Makeup Revolution are a very popular yet inexpensive brand lately, 8 blush shades for the price of just £6, you seriously cannot go wrong. Also, some of the shades look great for highlighting too.

• Benefit High Bean - Benefit are one of my favourite brands. My mum has the mini high beam and I'm always stealing it because I love it that much! It shows I need to buy my own lol. 

• Barry M Speedy Nail Polishes - These have only recently been released but what caught my eyes were the colours! I love pastel colours and they look gorgeous for spring/summer! And they're speedy at drying! So that's a big bonus.

• MAC Studio Fix Powder - I've wanted this for a long time now. Sometimes I really don't feel like wearing a liquid foundation, especially when it's hot weather. This looks great as it gives great coverage for a powder, it is kinda pricey just for a powder though.

• Lush Ro's Argon Body Conditioner - This is Rose Jam scented and it's one of my fave lush scents! My mum has a small pot of this and if I'm lucky she'll give me a bit, it's so soft on the skin it's unreal and the smell is to die for, I need the big pot in my life!!!

• MAC Lipstick in Brave - This lipstick looks gorgeous, whenever I go to Mac I always pick this up and have a quick swatch. Whenever I buy another Mac lipstick, this will be it! It's pretty similar to Velvet Teddy which is very popular. 

• Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I need this bronzer in my life, I've heard raving reviews about this bronzer especially for us pale skin folks, bronzers I have used in the past have always been orange or just way too much on my skin but this looks just right for me.

November Favourites

Hello everyone! So it's currently the 6th of December and I'm only just doing my November favourites, sorry! Here are my favourites below in the photo :)

So my first favourite is the L'oreal True Match foundation, mine is in the shade rose ivory which i believe is the palest shade? Anyways, this is such a great foundation! So many people have raved about this foundation on blogs and youtube so I thought I'd pick it up and give it a go. I'm really impressed with this, it's a medium coverage so you can build it up for a full coverage or go lighter for a more natural coverage, it's a bit runny though which makes it great so it's easy to blend! It retails for £9.99, obviously you can get cheaper drugstore foundations but I definitely think it's worth the price of it. They have SO many different shades so I think there would be a shade for every skin colour/type! Overall, I've really loved this foundation and when I run out, I plan to get another one. :)

Next is my MUA eyebrow pencil in the shade blonde, this was only £1! As if!? For that much I had to buy it and I've been loving it! It's the perfect shade for me and matches my hair so well. It's really soft for a pencil so it doesn't give harsh lines and I hardly have to press down for the product to work. I think MUA is a very underrated brand and I'd definitely buy this pencil again.

Okay next is LUSH! I just want to say how much I love Lush it's honestly one of my fave things ever. So when I saw that this limited edition lip scrub was out I had to get it! I haven't been let down! It smells and tastes like cola bottles which is amazing because who doesn't like cola bottles? This product always leaves my lips feeling super soft, I use it everyday mainly before I go to bed. It is a cute tiny pot but it lasts for ages because you only need to use the smallest bit! I'm so sad that this is limited edition just for Christmas time though!

My Bourjois blush has always been my absolutely fave but this month I really have genuinely loved it. During Autumn/Winter I don't like to go overboard with blush and contouring but I think this colour is perfect for this time of year. It's in the shade Rose Ambre which to me is a more coral shade than pink which I personally prefer. It gives such a pretty glow and colour to the cheeks. It's also really small which is great for travelling. 

My last favourites are 3 Barry M Gelly Nail Polishes in the shades from left to right(in the photo), Plum, Watermelon and Blackberry. I think these shades are great for this time of the year. I actually won these from Barry M in a competition. The Gelly ones are my fave because the give such a nice shine to your nails because sometimes I feel like dark colours look awful on my nails but the more shine it has the better it looks.

I hope that you enjoyed this post :)

Sleek Eyes And Cheek Palette Review

Hello everyone, I'm sorry that I haven't made a post in quite a while and tbh I don't have any excuses! I just didn't know what to next write about. But I recently won a competition with Sleek and I won both their new Eyes and Cheek palettes. They actually retail for £10 each so I'm so happy that I won them! I have been using them so I thought why not make a review post on them? I haven't yet done a review post on my blog so here goes! I'll include a few photos of the palette itself and swatches on my arm. They're called 'Dancing Till Dusk' and 'See You At Midnight' so I hope you enjoy! :)

So this is the palette Dancing Till Dusk! This palette is SO pretty! I think it's my favourite from the two. The coral coloured blush is the blush in the shade Sahara which you can buy separately! It's a matte so it's great. The other blush is a soft pink which has glitters in it which is really cute and gives a shimmer to your cheeks making you look extra good! The 4 shadows all come from the Au Naturel palette, the colours are quite similar, with the velvety browns and the pale shades which are great for a base, these shadows would be so good to create a smokey eye! My favourite shadow is the glittery pale one I think it's SO pretty, the photo really doesn't do the colours justice, sorry! It comes up a gold in person. I would definitely say these are VERY pigmented. It also comes with 2 little brushes, a shadow brush and a blush brush.

So this is the other palette in 'See You At Midnight'. Again, isn't this palette just SO pretty aswell?! I would say this palette is definitely one for you girls who love a bit of smokey eye. These colours are very pigmented so you don't need much on your brush at all tbh. The beautiful eyeshadows come from the Romance I-Divine Palette, they're deep purples and blues which are so pretty on any skin tone. The darker blush is in the blush Pomegranate which again, you can buy separately. The other blush is a dusky rose. My favourite shadow is probably the golden shimmery one yet again like the other palette, I can't get enough of these colours lately!

These palettes are actually quite small so very handy if you're travelling especially because it's a 2 in 1 product, I would definitely recommend these products, so go check them out!

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and I will be doing more reviews on products soon :) Thanks for reading! (If you got to here) :D
