Beauty / Skincare Wish List - May 2015

So another Month Rolls in and It's time to do my monthly skincare and beauty wish list and this month i've ticked a few more of my lists. See My January, February and April lists (Sorry i didn't find much i wanted in March).

Off My Wishlist (Purchased)


OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil to go - £10.50 - This featured on last months list and I decided to get my hands on this oil. I am currently finishing an old one off to soon replace this and i can't wait to use it. I will keep you updated on this one. 


Redken Hair Cleansing Cream 300ml - £11.25 - Also from last months list, I finally bit the bullet this month and have recently purchased this (Which will feature in my next Haul). My hair really struggles to go a day without washing so i feel it's time to get rid of the build up. Excited to try this out. 


Maybelline Instant Anti Age Rewind Concealer - £7.99 - Featured in February's list, I have also recently purchased this (Which will feature in my next haul) It was on a 3 for 2 offer so i was happy to get this. I really hope it lives up to the hype. I hope this will help me to keep hold of concealer a bit longer and i can use these two together. 



L'oreal Paris True Match Foundation - £9.99 -  And finally one from January. After using powder foundation for some time i decided to go back to liquid for a little as for me in the summer i much prefer it. So far i am loving this foundation in the shade fair and it is really bendable and leaves my skin finish looking natural. I am very glad i decided to pick this up. 

I think this month I got a few things ticked off the want list. Alas there are still items I wish to try. Ever the blogger i am inside:

Wishlist:


MAC Matte Finish Lipstick in the Shade Mehr £15.50 - I saw Lily Pebbles wear this and i just loved the shade. My lips are quite pink so a lot of shades look horrendous on me, however this looks like the perfect shade for me. 


REN Clear Calm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser - £19.00 - Clay based products and I are a match made in heaven and when i saw this little gem it needed to be on this list. Anything with Clay in it, especially masks really made my dull tried skin breathe life once more. I can't wait to try this.


NYX Setting Spray - £10.00  - The urban decay setting spray is a little bit expensive so i wanted to find a cheaper one, however there isn't many on the market. NYX have however brought their own out and i really want to give this a whirl. 

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil - £10.00 - I keep meaning to try this as i really have a great love for cleansing oils. They take off your make up so effortlessly and they make you skin feel nice, unlike micellar waters after use. I think this might be my next oil purchase when i finish my current one. 

Lancome Grandious Mascara - £24.50 - An utter high end splurge product but after a bad mascara experiences i would love to know how good this one really is. I also want to know how easy it is to apply with it's swanned neck. 


St Tropez Gradual in Shower Tan - £14.50 - Yes i am intrigued how this will work because i am one of these lazy tanners and if this makes it easier to do this. I really hate the smell of fake tan and how much of a chore it is even to look less pasty (and believe me i really am the pillsbury dough man). 


And there you have my wishlist, let me know what items from this list you would love to try and what is on your wishlist.

Small Boots Haul - May 2015


So i decided to do a little bit of online shopping at Boots, I didn't need a lot of things so i just picked up the things i needed the most. 

Dove StyleCare+ Dry Shampoo 200ml - RRP £4.59 - Currently £2.30 - 1/2 on Selected Dove Products - I have used this dry shampoo in the past and loved it, and then all of a sudden, i couldn't find it anywhere, not even in my local boots. So i was thrilled when i saw it online and currently being Half price so i picked another of these up. I love this dry shampoo, it doesn't feel bitty in my hair. 

Ogx Renewing Argon Oil of Morocco Conditioner 385ml -  £6.99 - I have used the shampoo and loved it, so i decided to wait and get the conditioner and pair this together with it. I am excited to see the results.

Loreal Paris True Match Foundation in Ivory - £9.99 - I have been wanting to try this foundation for some time. I do love my bare minerals foundation but i wanted to give a liquid foundation a go again and i have heard nothing but rave reviews. I tried it today and from first impressions it seem very good. 



Clinique All about the eyes Rich 15ml - £26.00 - You probably look at the price for this small item but this stuff is thick and you need the smallest amount. I have tried this and it feels great on my skin. I have some very dry skin at the moment and hopefully this will do the trick paired with my Clinique Moisture Surge.

Cetreben Cream 50ml and Cetreben Lotion 50ml  - £3.99 each  - I have tried a lot of eczema treatment and I have recently heard about this brand. The lotion will help the skin to heal and the cream will lock in the lotion. I have tried this and liked it so far so i hope this will help.

And that is my haul from Boots. I love purchasing little essentials like this. Please leave a comment below telling what have you been latest purchases?

L'oreal Elvive Smooth Intense Range - For Dry and Frizzy Hair


This is my latest shampoo and conditioner duo which i picked up with my local food shop, which i didn't think it would be as impressive because of it's price, however i have to say i am really surprised and very impressed by this duo.

In the winter month's my hair tends to go quite dry and really frizzy, so it was time to put away the greece removing shampoo and kick in some hydration to my hair routine.

The shampoo and conditioner both make my hair so feel smooth and fresh, but i have to say, they seem to do this in a way i haven't seen before with other shampoo's. My hair seems to go a lot straighter and tidier, there are no whip's or strange curled ends when my had dried. Before my hair would contain a few kinks, especially when i woke up in the morning where my ears are. Sadly I would really have to straighten for more to get it to look right (Which was so bad for my hair) and now it takes me half the time as these seem to have vanished completely.

I am love the feel of this combo in my hair when washing, the shampoo barely even feels like it is even there in my hair and requires very little lathering. I think this down to the Moroccan Argon oil in the shampoo. As someone who really hasn't tried any hair oils, i really think i am going to take the plunge and invest in some because i now believe this could be key to keeping my hair looking and feeling fantastic.

The conditioner really makes my hair feel nourished and gives my hair the hydration it needs. My hair feels a lot softer and the dry parts of my hair have become less brittle. This i appreciate as i do have short hair and there is nothing worse than feeling the sheer damage and having to have your hair cut a little too short than you would like.

Overall i really recommend this duo, especially if you struggle with shampoo and conditioner and your hair is really feeling a little dry this winter season. You will love this from Loreal.

Beauty Product / Skincare Wishlist - Jan 2015

There are so many products out there and there are a few I wish to try and get my hands on this year. This list is some of the items I hope to try out and purchase this year. 


Clinique Take the day off Cleansing Balm - £22.00 - I love the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm which retails for £36.00 but this year as I am hoping to pass my driving test I am looking for cheaper alternatives for my skincare which are rated just as good. This cleansing balm has had a lot of hype and being £14 cheaper I will be picking this up once my Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm has left my mits.




ZOEVA - Golden Luxury Brush Set - €65 - At the moment I have so many odd brushes and i really need a complete set and a lot of these brushes are just what i need. I will be saving for this set this year, the quality and price is very good in comparison with the sigma brush sets which can set you back a good £100+. Hopefully having this set too will allow me to purchase less odds and end brushes from Eco Tool and the Basic Real Techniques brushes which I seem to ruin in a year or so.




La Roche Posay Serozinc - £8.50 - IT'S FINALLY COMING TO THE UK!!! This will most likely be one of my first purchases of the year and as i adore La Roche Posay as a brand i cannot wait to get my hands on this. I love Toner's and Mists and lately I have started to look at using these more and more so this product will fit right into my collection. 





Naked and the Naked Two Palette's - £37.00 - Yes they break your bank but these Palette's are amazing. I own the third one but I feel a little lost with it. It works a lot on some of my other palettes like my sleek palette and my lose colours but i feel having these two would really allow me to use number three to the max. If i only get one of these this year i would be very happy.





Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask £23.00 - This is an unrealistic dream for a mask this year because of the price, however we can all have wishes right? I adore Charcoal mask's and I would love to give this one a try. I currently use the boots bionics one and i am in love with it, it really clears up my skin and i would like to see what the differences are between that and this Origins one. 



Origins Make a Difference Plus+ moisturiser - £34.50 - I have been looking for a new Moisturiser to try and this one looks like it could be the perfect one for me, the reviews i have read are perfect for my skin type. I feel that my skin would heal quicker with this as compared to my Dr Organic Moisturiser which is good but i feel at times it takes a while to heal my dry skin. Expensive but most good Moisturiser's are. I think more than the mask i will be definitely saving up for this one this year. 

Sleek Blush Palette In Pink Lemonade  £9.99 - I have this set in California and i absolutely love it, however i really would love this set more for the winter months as the California set is more of a summer colour set. The shades in this are perfect and have two shimmer matte shades and the middle is a cream finish. I love Sleek Blushes, in my opinion the best on the market so expanding the small collection i have would be perfect with this set.


L'oreal Paris True Match Foundation £9.99 - I feel like i am still after the path to find the perfect budget liquid foundation and this one for sure is next on my list. I always have issues with finding the perfect shade and something that will last more than a few hours. I have heard this is a great dupe for the Georgio Armani Foundation which is way out of my price range, so I think this one will have to enter into my life to test out my highly critical liquid foundation ways. 



Dove Pure Dry Oil Shampoo - £5.99 - I am still on the quest to find the perfect shampoo and i have heard a lot about this dove range. I have a lot of issues with shampoo and i can never find the right one for me, they either make my hair go brittle or too greasy, i think drying one with an oil formula may fix this issue so i think i'll give this dove one a good try this year. 

And these items are on my wishlist, if i am lucky to get my mit's on these item i am sure i will review these on my blog. I will repost a wishlist throughout the year as I discover new products that strike my attention. In the mean time, What are you're wish list items for this year? Leave me a comment below :)
