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!

Wish List.

I know I usually do a make up wish list, however I thought I would do something a little different. Therefore, here is a wish list of all the things I have seen and really love at the moment, and no doubt will buy when pay day come around. Non of it is make up related, however I am planning on doing one of those fairly soon so keep and eye out. 

Everything is named underneath the photo.

Whats on your wish list this month?

Dear Santa...

When it comes to Christmas presents I’m rubbish. If I see stuff I want I have a tendency of just buying it, therefore creating a list of things I want can be really tricky. Every year I try my hardest, but it’s always a small list. Therefore I thought I would share it with you, it’s a mix of beauty and non-beauty things. So lets begin.

November Wish List.

As it’s coming up to November I thought I would create a little wish list of what I have my eye on for the following month...

Wish List.

EOS Smooth Sphere Pomegranate / Blueberry Acai Lip Balm is something that has forever been a cult product for a lot of people. It states it’s a luscious lip balm, which delivers the perfect balance of flavour and moisture. Rich in Antioxidants and Vitamins, Smooth Sphere Pomegranate Lip Balm has a 100% natural and 95% organic formula, which helps to nourish and hydrate the lips. A blend of Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil works to soothe the lips and provide long lasting moisture. I never wanted one of these little lip balms mainly because they were so difficult to get hold of, however now that BeautyBay.com is now selling them, I’m incredibly eager to try one.
Kiss Everlasting French Wrap Kit promises a salon-perfect french manicure. It states it a easy and fast way of achieve the perfect french smile line without polish, right from home. A flawless french manicure that lasts up to 2 weeks without chipping! Now, I know I did a post about how much I loved the Elegant Touch Flawless Manicure Kit, which is very similar to this, however the upside of this Kiss version is that it allows you to purchase refills of the tips. Alongside this, they state they last longer as the Elegant Touch version promises a week, where as this one promises 2 weeks.

Magnifibres brush-on false lashes promises to instantly lengthen lashes by up to 5mm. This little product claims to create stunning false lash effect in seconds all you have to do is simply brush on the natural fibres between coats of your favourite mascara to add incredible length and volume. I haven't ever used false lashes before, mainly because the glue that you use with them worries me. Due to having sensitive eyes I get worried about using glues, mascaras and liquid eyeliners. However, this states its suitable for sensitive eyes, so I'm hoping it would be a great alternative to false lashes. 
OPI Nail Envy Soft & Thin nail strengthener promises to fortify and strengthens weak, thin and damaged nails. Featuring proven Nail Envy technology, Nail Envy Soft & Thin is enriched with extra Calcium and a blend of Sea Minerals and is formulated especially for soft and thin nails. Designed to infuse strength, health and vitality into weak, thin and soft nails, this high-performance nail treatment is easy to apply and delivers long lasting results. I’ve been using the Original Nail Envy for the past couple of months, and as much as I like it, my nails become soft and thin again between using it. Therefore it made me wonder if I wasn’t using the right one, or the one that might benefit my nails most. I think I will definitely give this a go, and maybe buy and use the OPI Maintenance Envy to help maintain my hopefully healthy nails between treatments.

Whats on your July Wish List?

Wish List.

I know I haven’t done one of these in a long time, but over the past few weeks during placement I haven’t been browsing round the shops as much as normal. However, there are a few things that have really caught my eye, and that I may even indulge in when I go to Manchester soon.

So lets begin...

Nars Kauai Duo Eye Shadow

This duo is part of NARS' High Seize Collection, the Kauai Duo Eye shadow is a highly pigmented pair of eye shadows in the shades Gold Lame and the purple-toned Iridescent Smokey Orchid. There are super pretty and incredibly pigmented. I really love that they can be used separately or together to create the must beautiful new shade.

Nars Malacca Eye Shadow

This eye shadow is described as an iridescent peacock colour. From the swatches I have seen of it, it’s a medium dark plummy brown with cool toned green shimmer-sheen and a frosted finish. I was worried it would be that bluish-teal-brown duo chrome that every brand has been rolling out recently but from what I can gather it’s a very beautiful mauve-plum-brown base that gets more mauve-y as you blend it out and apply more. I have seen so many swatches of this and it looks really pretty and something I don’t think (…) I have in my collections (I don’t think…) (Its definitely times like these I wish Nars Eyes shadows weren't so expensive...sadface)

Dior Addict Lip Maximize in Shade 3

I already own this in the original shade, which is a clear pink. However, they recently released it in a very pretty blossom pink shade, which give just the right touch of pink to the lips. Personally from trying them both I really think they have done something to this new shade because the maximizing properties in it seemed a little more intense and powerful and you could really feel it working, which I love.

The Body Shops All in One Instablur

Recently, I’ve really loved the new Kiehls blurring primer at the minute, however this has also had some amazing reviews. Its only just been released however it claims to control shine, reduce the appearance of pores, hide blemishes and extend make up. It’s a lot of high power claims, however I may have to nip in next time I need a new toner and ask for a nice little tester to see how ‘intrablurring’ it actually is.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

Loved this little cleanser ever since I tried it, however the only problem is finding it to buy it. I have had to stick to the Body Shop Chamomile Cleansing Balm, which is good, but I prefer this little beauty. Its super lightweight and cleanses my face super well without leaving an oily residue behind. I really wish Clinique would get more of these in stock to shops because its really hard to find both in store and online, and its such a fantastic product.

Estee Lauder Clear Difference Complexion perfecting BB Crème SPF 35

Talk about a mouthful. OK I’m not going to lie, I swear by my amazing Dior Nude BB Crème, however its only an SPF10 and due to being pretty fair skinned, that means I end up spending the whole of summer with a super red burnt face…not a good look. Recently Estee Lauder fetched this little BB crème out which is aimed at people who have blemish prone skin, it claims to instantly neutralize redness, help to conceal blemish marks, pores and flaws and most importantly help treat blemishes. If that wasn’t enough it also states to hydrate, protect, perfect and sooth skin. Now, I don’t always believe what I read on the label because to be fair, they’re trying to sell a product at the end of the day. But seriously…this stuff is good! I went and got a cheeky little sample of this because the high SPF sometimes irritates my sensitive skin. It’s rich and creamy but lightweight at the same time, blending beautifully into the skin giving you just enough daytime summer coverage. The SPF being 35 is a great advantage because it means my face wont burn as much. Overall, I think when I run out of my Dior Nude BB crème I think I’m going to take a chance and purchase this, I haven’t experienced any improvements in my blemishes, but to be honest my skin is actually behaving and obviously I’m not going to get that many uses from a tiny sample pot. Trust me, when I do buy this bad boy and test it out properly, you can definitely expect a in-depth review of every inch of it.

Have any of you tried any of these products, if so whats your view on them?

Whats on your June Wish List?

April Wish-List.

I know I haven't done a wish list for a long time, so I thought because there are a few things I have my eye one I would do a wish list post. Some of these things I’ve had my eye on for a while, some I’ve seen in store, others are what I’ve seen as pre-releases. A lot of them as you will see are Dior, which is financial my downfall...but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...right?!

Miss Dior Blooming Banquet

"Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, the fresh and tender new facet of Miss Dior, Dior’s Couture fragrance for today's elegant young ladies. This delicate floral bouquet, composed of peony accords and subtle sparkling fruity notes, leaves a fresh and elegant signature, with a touch of irreverence."

Dior Diorskin Nude Shimmer Powder in 001 Pink

"More than a finishing powder but less than a blush/bronzer, these powders are all about ‘radiance’. Ultra finely-milled and with the softest shimmer you can imagine, one sweep of a brush swirled through the pan is enough to give your skin a light-kissed look, without ever coming across as overdone."

Dior Vernis in 155 Tra-La-La
"Adding the final touch to finger nails, Dior Vernis nail polish combines lacquered shine with impeccable hold. A cocktail of shine and sparkle amplifying active ingredients directs pigments and pearly particles to enhance light reflection tenfold."

Dior Addict Fluid Stick

"Dior Addict Fluid Stick enables a flawless application in a single sweep: the high-impact colour and long wear of a classic lipstick, combined with the shine of a gloss, all in a thin film that delivers sensational comfort. Colour and shine come together as one for maximum impact with intense, long-wearing lip stain pigments directly encapsulated in spheres of gloss."

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer in 005 Fresh Pink

"Dior presents a revolutionary lip care system that boosts volume instantly and restructures in the long term, thanks to a unique blend of hyaluronic and marine-based fillers that smooth, moisturize and leave lips irresistibly plump. Apply under regular lipstick or gloss for volume and shine, or morning and night as a 15-day intensive cure. Its fresh mint-vanilla scent makes it even more addictive."

Lancome Lip Lover

"Lip Lover is our first all-in-one lip perfector. Its hybrid formula gives the comfort of a balm, the eye-catching colour of a lipstick and the enhancing shine of a gloss. Adjustable colour. Buildable Shine. Lasting Comfort."
