Beauty / Skincare Wish List - July 2015

Sorry for the hiatus, life has been a little crazy but I'm back with a classic of mine, a monthly beauty / skincare wishlist for July. I sadly missed June as i didn't find anything really i wanted so here is July's version:

Off the Wishlist 



ST Tropez Gradual In Shower Tan - £14.50 - This came on offer last month so I had to pick this up and i have to say this is excellent, it leaves a lovely gradual tan and is way easier than some of their other products which I find streak. The only thing i will say is, do not leave it longer than recommended.  I sadly missed a few blobs of this on my feet and the dark tan spot is still there. 

On the Wishlist:


Max Factor Clump Defying Mascara - £10.99 - I have heard quite a few people rave about this Mascara and as someone who loathes those thick clumpy lashes, I think this product is one i need to try. I also do like the look of the wand, which is one shape i have used on other mascara's and loved. 


Tangle Teezer Compact hair brush - £12.25 - I love compact brushes and as the tangle teezer is a high rated brand, i would love to see what the fuss is about. As i am going on holiday in September, i want as many compact things to take, so i think this would be ideal for my travels and will ensure i don't have any damaged bristles like i have with other brushes. 


Loreal Tecni Art Full Volume Extra Moose - £11.49 - As i plan to change the style of my hair soon, i would love to give my hair some volume as i do it. I saw youtube Estee from Essiebutton use this and as i have had so many problems with moose, i think the nozzle on this would make moose applying so much easier. 




Pixi Make up Fixing Mist - £16.00 - I love when make up lasts all day and these little saviours in a bottle seem to do the trick, so i will add this to my wishlist simply on that basis. 


BY TERRY - Ombre Black Star Eyeshadows £29.00 These are all the trend at the moment and a complete dreamy wishlist item that i will never buy purely because of how expensive it is. I love the Kiko ones which are miles more affordable and would love to see how they compare.

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.

Beauty / Skincare Wishlist - April 2015

Another month passes, another wishlist is upon us. I completely missed last month, as I did take a little shopping haul which cleared a few things i really did want in March. I wasn't too successful in buying much from my last two wish lists from January and February, however i have crossed two items off the list.


Off my Wishlist


Clinique Moisture Surge 50ml - £34.00 - In February i decided i really wanted this moisturiser and after my Dr Organic moisturiser is on it's last few scoops i felt i could finally justify buying the full size of this. I feel in love after using my travel size sample up and i wanted to use this more as my main moisturiser as it seems a lot better than my previous. I really love how this feels on my skin and it really keeps it from being dry. 


La Roche Posay Serozinc- £8.50 - As i am sure you have seen, i did knock this off my January list a while ago now and i am loving it. Whenever i get a break out i spray this and it helps with the aid of getting rid of them. I am thrilled we can get this product here now. It's brilliant.


New Additions to my Wishlist

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - £19.50 - I have heard and seen the hype, but because i've been so busy with work, i completely forgot to pick up the magazine with the sample of this mascara! ARGH! So it looks like i shall have to get my hands on the full size. I have heard this is brilliant at giving full last curls which is something i would love to add to my mascara mix. I have recently been trying the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara and noticed that it seems i am getting way less fall out than the Benefit They're Real Mascara so i am keen to try this and see if it is better than it's top selling rival. 

First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads - £22.00 - Everyone keeps mentioning these and i keep meaning to try these. I think these would make cleaning your face so much easier and i do love first aid beauty because it's great for sensitive skin. 



OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil to go - £10.50 - With winter on it's way out, i really need to fix my nails and this has come highly recommended so i really need to get hold of this to help sort them out so i can enjoy putting on nail polish more often on my nails. 



Redken Hair Cleansing Cream 300ml - £11.25 - I do notice with having shorter hair that product does tend to build a little in my hair at some point during the week and i do find it hard to get rid of it. I've heard of clarifying shampoo's but there isn't a huge range yet on the market, i am assuming they are a new thing? I have used Redken products before and really liked them so i think this one will be the next on my list to use once a week in between my normal washes. 

All-in-one Body Shop BB Cream - £12.00 - After a failed attempt at finding a good BB which fitted my skin tone, I am still keen to find one. I have heard this body shop is great, and not just that, the shades are really bendable and don't look too dark. I think i will pick these up before i go on holiday this summer. 


Avene Cicalfate Repair Cream 40ml - £7.50 - As you may well know i suffer from Eczema, and the repair stage is one of the hardest, especially the eczema on my hands, which has been the worst i have ever had it. I am trying to use non-steroid methods and this looks like it may help with the repair of my skin. 


And there you have it, my wish list items for this month. What items are you wishing for?

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 :)
