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.

Spring /Summer Makeup - 2015

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner and it's that time where we pack away our thick matt make up and change it up for something more light and summery. Here are my summer picks to make you look and feel good without feeling weighed down this summer:


Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydration Gel Cream - £26.00 - I believe this is perfect for for summer and being bare mineral's one of my all time favourite brands, they are kicking a punch with this. It has SPF 30 in it which will help protect your skin in the summer. This product is so light so it will not clog your face. Not just that this is more than just a foundation, it has skincare in this brand which is a total win. I wouldn't replace this with your normal skincare but i believe keeping skin hydrated is always amazing because in summer this is something a lot of people forget. It comes in so many shades and i believe with the properties in it i think this is a first for everyone foundation. I am in love with this.

Clinique Blushing Blush powder - In pink Love - £22.00 - I recently got a sample of this in a gift bag i got from Clinique and pink love in particularly is stunning. It gives such a stunning summer flush with a glittery glow. There are so many different shades of this which I believe a lot of these are too perfect for spring and summer. The product is really easy to apply and very bendable so you can put on a little or as much as you want. 


Revlon Colourburst in Mischievous - £7.99  - This orange colour is the perfect shade for summer, it really pops and makes such a beautiful statement as you are lying on the beach or walking around in the sun. These crayons may be matte but they feel very
moisturising on the lips and with the sun beaming on you, you don't want your lip product moving. This one stays on your lips and looks amazing for hours on end.



Borujois Delice de Pourde Gold Bronzing Powder.  - £7.99 - This gold shimmery bronzer is perfect for summer, it makes your skin look summer shiny and not greasy which is perfect if you aren't in the hottest of countries. I really love the way this applies, it is very bendable and lasts for hours. 


Maybelline The Rocket Mascara - £7.99  - I've accidentally had this on when i went for a dip in the pool and the sea and this has budged. For £7.99 this waterproof mascara is perfect. I have never had one issue with this, although some people do have an issue with the brush inside. I think it gives amazing volume and last all day.



Kiko Infinity Eyeshadow in Gold - £2.80 This shade is so stunning and is perfect for summer. The shimmery shade goes perfect with the rest of the make up and looks subtle enough to keep your lips popping. I adore kiko's eyeshadows and i believe so far they are so underated.


And that is my Spring Summer Make up item recommendations. What do you love to wear in spring/summer? Leave a comment below.

Beauty products Wishlist 2015 - February

I posted a wish list last month about some of the products I was looking to get this year. So far i'm already quite on track and have managed to get my hands on two of the products mentioned in this post.  So i thought i would do a quick recap of the items which are off my wishlist and add some new items that have caught my eye.

Items off my Wishlist


Sleek Blush Palette In Pink Lemonade  £9.99 - I was luckily gifted this as a late Christmas present by my friend. It has also featured as a product of the month and all January and i have been loving this palette a lot so far. 
Clinique Take the day off Cleansing Balm - £22.00 - I have just recently purchased this and it is on it's way to me as we speak. I am excited to try this and i am sure i will review this shortly with the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm as comparison.


New Additions to My Wishlist





Moroccan oil Treatment 25ml - £13.45 - My hair has been so dry lately and i have been recommended this hair oil. I am interested to see if this works and i am glad they do a small size so that you can see if this is the best thing for your hair before buying a full bottle. They range also does shampoo's, however i really think my hair needs the full treatment first. 

Bourjois Health Balance Compact Power - £8.99 - I am in real need of a new powder to try out and the blogosphere seems to be going a little mad over this one, of course I want to see what all the rave is about and i do love a bit of Bourjois. 



Maybelline Instant Anti Age Rewind Concealer - £7.99- My grey circles seem to be getting a bit larger due to sadly a lot of recent stress, so i think i really need this product in my life to clear them up, i have heard this product is very good at that. It will be something i will be picking up. 



Pixi Glow Tonic - £18.00 - I love toners and i really have wanted to try this one from Pixi, I believe this one will help to remove some of the dead skin cells that keep floating around on my face, especially in winter and get rid of them. 

Charlotte Tibury Bronze and Glow - £49.00 - Oh this is my complete and utter reacher, I would love so much to be able to use this product, but it is so out of my budget. The packaging and the colour pay of is utterly amazing. Something i can look forward to in the future for sure. 


Bareminerals Bisque Concealer - £18.05 - I already use a lot of Bareminerals products in my daily make up routine and it would be great if i could add this as my concealer. This might just finish the whole look off, not that i don't enjoy my current concealer but i would be interested to see how this looks.  



Clinique Moisture Surge 50ml - £34.00 - I've just got my hands on a sample of this and i am literally in love, this for sure will be my next moisturiser purchase once i finish my current moisturiser. It makes my skin feel great and it has made my skin look a little less red. Can't wait to takes this into the long term. 

And this is my new wishlist for February. I hope you have enjoyed and maybe i have spoiled you into buying something new.

Recreate the look. Concert.



AHHHHHHH It's me...

I don't always like to post pictures of myself but i am trying to be more confident at it. So i thought i would do a post on the items i used to create this look. I was going out for a concert when i wore this look.

Top - Primark - No Longer Avaliable
Necklace - Forever21 - No Longer Avaliable


Foundation - Rimmel Match Perfection in True Ivory - Best match foundation, love it, quick and easy to apply and is extremely affordable. Needed touch up of powder but was fine.
Blush - Sleek Blush in Coral - My favourite blush, the colour pay off as you can see is utterly amazing. Was still popping at the end of the night.
Under Eye Concealer - Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch - Makes my under eyes pop and is a beautiful concealer. Lasted all evening
Power - Body Shop All in One Face Base in 93704 - Kept my foundation topped up through the night. 
Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Great for hiding spots and red blotches.  Began to fade after dancing but expected.
Lips - Rimmel Apocalips in Nova - Best bargin lip laquer and the colours really pop, brilliant. Stayed on all night.
Eyebrows - Soap and Glory archery Tint and Pencil - Really easy product to shape and tint, best product for my brows. Never budged
Mascara - Benefit They're Real Mascara - Hard to see with my glasses but honestly, lengthens and did not run during the show. 

Hope you liked the look and hope you can recreate it.
