Wish List.

I always have a ever growing wish list on my phone. I split it into Need (things I have tried and need to buy asap) and Need to Try (which tends to be brand new products thats I really want to try). Today I thought I would show you a small snapshot of the soft of things I have on my wish list.

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil

‘Next-generation retinoid oil to reduce pore size, improve appearance of damaged skin and help fight wrinkles.

With an advance retinol complex, Luna helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while simultaneously correcting damage caused by the sun, time, and pollution. Use this oil before bed to notice firmer, clearer skin by morning. Trans-retinol ester fights the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity while an essential oil complex calms and soothes skin. Cold pressed avocado, chia, and Concord grape seed oils sink into skin for quick absorption of actives while boosting radiance.”

I haven’t used oil for a long time, and tend to find over winter oil works better for my skin then a cream. I have seen so much hype about this oil and how fantastic it is meant to be; therefore I know I need to try it. The only downside is it cost £85 for a 30ml bottle!

Colors by Llarowe Nail Polish in Falsetto Child

'Is it black, blue or green, I will let you decide? A black holographic polish that changes with lighting and hand position.'

This is literally one of the prettiest and best done black holographic polishes I have seen on the net. Usually the black really drains out the holographic tones, however from what I can gather this polish is just amazing. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Cirque Colors Nail Polish in Concord

‘A royal purple with a rainbow holographic finish.’

Concord is a fabulous cool-toned purple metallic with a linear holographic effect. I usually don’t go for bright purple, however this colour is amazing. Plus, Cirque is one of my go too nail polish brands for holographic nail polish, therefore I know I will love it!

Essie Leave No Trace Glitter Remover

‘Sparkle all night but make sure to leave no trace. Apply a pea size amount onto nails and allow product to sit for up to 30 seconds. Gently massage entire nail surface to break up glitter particles. With cotton pad, wipe and clean nail.’

Now I love glitter and holographic nail polish, however when it comes to removing them it’s a whole different level of hatred. It takes so long to just do one little fingernail! I haven’t been able to find many reviews on this, so I’m guessing its rather new, however the few I have read it sounds amazing makes removal so easy and quick. What more could a glitter and holographic nail polish addict ask for!

Essie Gel Setter Top Coat

‘Jet setters need solid, go-getter shine that works as hard as they do. Essie’s’ gel setter tops any of your favorite Essie colors with all the cushy, rock-hard shine of a gel, in a foolproof formula for at home manis and pedis.’

I am always looking for a new topcoat. Just like everyone else I’m looking for the perfect last all week with minimal wear wonder topcoat, but I doubt that’s going to happen anytime soon. Anyway, this is a new topcoat by Essie, and I’m really intrigued to try it. Obviously something made Essie (who are usually first to do most things) draw out their gel topcoat release, especially as so many other nail brands have already released theirs. Can’t wait to try it!

Dior Addict Gloss in Tiara

‘The magical touch of fashion and shine. Dior Addict Gloss is a declaration of love for fashion, an electrifying whirlwind of sheer glossy colours that light up the lips with shimmering, pure or pearly mirror shine. Use alone for spectacular shine and a veil of colour, or in touches over lipstick for added shine in the center of lips.’

I love glitter and I love Dior. Therefore it’s not surprising that I totally adore the limited edition Tiara lip-gloss by Dior. I tried it the other day, and it is so pretty. It doesn’t feel gritty like most glitter lip-glosses, and it adds a slight plump to the lips. Overall its so pretty and can be worn on its own and even over your favorite lipstick you add a sparkle. Not going to be long before this comes home with me!

Gold (No. 25) Complete Eye Palette 

Burberry is a brand that I haven’t ever been dawn to neither make up or clothing wise. However, this Christmas my boyfriend treated me to this beautiful palette and it truly fell in love. The Burberry Complete Eye Palette in Gold (No. 25) is a new, limited edition eye shadow palette released as part of Burberry's Gold Collection for Holiday 2014.  Everything in this collection is encased in the festive and stunning gold packaging instead of their usual, gunmetal finish. I personally think this is one of the most beautiful eye shadow palette I have ever used and here’s why…

Dior Addict Gloss in Petillante.

Dior Addict Gloss in Petillante

(Limited Edition) 

The Spring 2014 Dior Trianon Collection brings us four new limited edition Dior Addict Lip Glosses. I was really struggling to decide which one I wanted most. However, this shade I decided was most flattering on me both when I’m at my palest, and also in summer when I have more of a tan.

One of my all time favourite Dior products is, without a doubt, the Dior Addict Glosses, so needless to say, I was excited to see the brand add new, limited-edition shades to their spring collection. Thick, buttery and extremely moisturising (these feel amazing on), the new Addict Glosses are insanely well pigmented, adding a beautiful, high-shine finish to the lips.

Petillante (442) is a sheer soft peach with very fine micro shimmer in pale gold, and iridescent pink with hints of blue and purple.  It doesn’t offer much colour to the lips but rather an absolutely stunning delicate shimmer and high gloss effect. It is lovely worn alone and also works as a great lipstick topper shade.

If you have yet to try one of Dior's Addict Glosses, now might be the time to do it. With great pigmentation and the most amazing feel, these glosses are, in my opinion, well worth the higher price tag.

Seriously, you need one!

Jouer - 

The Blushing Beauty Collection

When the Jouer Blushing Beauty Collection landed on my doorstep I had to take 10 minutes just to stare at it. If there were a prize for the most amazing piece of eye candy in my stash then hands down this would come up top. An interlocking palette that takes me back to my Lego playing days, housing the best of Jouer’s offerings: their Sheer Matte Powder and Bronzer Duo, Lip Gloss in Cherish, Powder Eyeshadow Duo in Chocolat and Peach, Tint in Whisper and Highlighter in Feather. It’s already sold out twice on Cult Beauty and has taken over every beauty bloggers wish list for the last couple of months.

As with any mixed palette it’s a nice way to be served your first taste of the brand. Personally, I really love every part of the palette. 

First off, the highlighter and tint are amazing. They give the most stunning glow effect, which is really good for summer. Next up, the eye shadows are fabulous. They really make my blue eyes pop, and can be used each shade alone, or used together a really nice smoky eye. Now onto the Sheer Matte powder and Bronzer Duo. This was most definitely part of the palette I was really excited to try, as so many people have said how good their bronzers and matte powders are. Both are really good, the bronzer takes a bit of working, however does the most amazing job. Its something I save for days when I have more time to get ready. The powder is also good, I just dust it over my t-zone to help matte the areas that are most likely to get oily.

Lastly the lip-gloss. In all honesty it does the job, it adds just the right amount of colour and gloss. The colour itself isn’t something I would usually go for, however I will use it, especially if I was to only take the palette out for throughout the day touch ups.

It’s also got to be noted that the dinky size is perfect for travel and the selection of products means all that needs to be added to into the mix to paint on a daily face is foundation, concealer and mascara.

Overall, it’s a really nice little palette. Never the less it is very small, and I think a lot of people will be quite miffed to see that for £45, it is very small. However, as I travel a lot its really good that it is small. Another downside is that most of the compartments are really small; therefore for the highlighter and tint, you have to really use your figures.
