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!

4711.

For the past two years, I've been besotted with the gorgeous fragrance Neroli Portofino from Tom Ford.  I love everything about it! Everytime I go past a bottle I literally douse myself in it, whilst trying to say loudly enough so the poor sales assistant can hear me "Oh yeah, I'll totally be in to get this next payday." They always know it's not going to happen and I know it's not going to happen.  I've been smart enough to strategically forget the price for a bottle of Neroli, but we're talking around the £120 for 50ml mark.  That's like half of my months pay for a perfume!

Smoky.

Urban Decay -

Naked Smoky Palette

So, if you have been living under a rock, you may not have hear that there's a brand-new Naked palette coming your way. Feast your eyes on Naked Smoky, an entire palette devoted to crafting a totally amazing and perfect smoky eye. 
Now, I'm not usually someone who does smoky eye, however recently I have really been embracing it. I truly do think the main reason I never really did it was purely down to the fact I just didn't know how, and I never really knew what shadows to use to make it looks great. However, now that this little beauty is being realised (with cards which tell you exactly how to create different look), everyone will be able to achieve that fierce smoky eye look.
The newest addition to the Naked family lands on July 8 and has everything you love about Naked — wearable-yet-cool neutrals, gorgeous packaging, a amazing shade range, fantastic colour payoff — but with a few new twists in the format. Unlike Nakeds 1 through 3, which focused on specific colour stories e.g. Naked 1 was a bit more bronze-y, Naked 2 was more taupe-y, and Naked 3 was warm and rosy neutrals. Naked Smoky will span a range of colour families. It gives you a great range of neutrals — your basic matte shades, and then a mini collection of bronze, a mini collection of taupe, a mini collection of greys and blacks, and then the one eggplant. It's a variety of colour families you can dip into.
That's nine new shades and three exclusive ones, for those of you keeping track. The shadows are also arranged a bit differently too — instead of going from lightest to darkest, the brand has placed the mattes on one end and the shimmers on the opposite side (both going from lightest to darkest, but in opposite directions), meaning the palette has all the lighter shades on the outside and the darker shades on the interior. From what I can gather this has been done to make creating a smoky eye a bit more intuitive, grouping shades categorically rather than forcing you to think about your creation in terms of shades.
Also exclusive to the palette is a brand-new double-sided brush to aid you in your noble smoked-out quest. One side features the Tapered Crease Brush, which will help you apply shadow to the lid, define your crease, or blend out colours. The other side is the Smoky Smudger Brush, which is perfectly designed for highlighting the brow bone or inner corner of the eye, and great for smudging shadow on the lower lash line and even tight-lining.

I literally couldn't be more excited for this palette to come out. I was really hoping they would release a new Naked palette that a little different from the other three and I couldn't have asked for anything better then this beauty of a palette.
