Beauty Wishlist..

Now that you have seen my 


I'm bringing out the Beauty Wishlist too! 
 
Autumn is the usual time of year for 
darker lipsticks/nail polishes 
and intense moisturizer's

Well not for me, as I like to mix things up a bit and not go with the normal.

:)

1. 
Autumn will not put me off getting this gorgeous light pink shade in There She Goes

My fellow bloggers have been raving about Topshop lipstick for a while now and I have been putting it off for too long now!
 You can see in my Lipstick Collection here I have a slight obsession with nudeish colours already and this will be adding to this problem I have.
Haha.

2.
BB Cream is one of my 2013  
'Thank God I found this product'
This product appears as though it will give just a gentle glow under a normal foundation base and during the Autumn/Winter months we still need to keep the tanning up to date!

 The 8 in 1 formula is a bit daunting at first but it includes:

1. Evens skin tone
2. Sheer tint
3. Boosts radiance
4. 16-hour moisturisation
5. Smoothes skin
6. Prolongs tan
7. SPF 15
8. Refreshing sensation

Now apart from the baffling last point this all sounds perfect to me. Can someone explain why a BB Cream will contain a refreshing sensation?

3.
 May I ask??

Who wouldn't want Essie in their Wishlist!
 So many colours! I sometimes feel there too much to choose from!

Both colours I've picked are very pale and neutral tones but I think with the perfect outfit would look stunning!

I've only found one problem with the Essie polishes, they take forever to dry! And I generally end up smudging them :(

However they barely chip and have super staying power!


 
4.
I've been eying these brushes up for a while now! 

Recently I have been using sponges for an even application but the amount of positive reviews & people using these are incredible.

I love that the two lovely ladies who created this brand were just like me and you once. They started out small and have grown they're own name/empire. Well Done Pixiwoo :)


5.
I am a little late on the band wagon with this product but every time I'm in town it either appears to be sold out or I have two grumpy boys hurrying me up.

I certainly prefer the Peach Kiss as it appears as though it would show a beautiful warm colour with that hint of cheekyness to it!

I also think it needs to be more known that the brand is Maybelline, all I've heard is 'Baby Lips' and was unsure which stand to look at to find them.
Or is it just me being silly??

 6.
This product for me is a bit of an indulgence, I love to wrap my hair & face in a mask and sit back and let it work it's magic.

After the Summer months of caking our faces in Sun Cream, Cosmetics and Tanning Lotion I think the Autumn time is a great moment to let your skin relax and clean out all the mess.

Next year I think I might also take a trip down to the 
Covent Garden Spa and just chill for the day!  


What are you buying especially for Autumn??

River Island OOTD

Outfit
which I am in love with!  

Aztec Jumpsuit
Primark White Tee
Primark Sunnies
&Primark cut out Black Pumps 

This is the perfect outfit for the beach, at home or abroad and perfect for wearing a cute bikini underneath.

The material is quite rough and very lightweight 
and super comfortable.

My sunnies above are Primark.
I like big glasses, I don't do things in halves!




Makeup, very minimal, nude lip and smokey brown eye.


The whole outfit, minus makeup only adds up to £30!
Bargain I'd say!

Let me know what want to see next?

My Beauty Would You Rather...

I may as well, everyone else is doing it.

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?


I would rather lose all my Palettes, simply because Eyeliner is by far my favourite makeup product. You can also cheat and use an Eyeliner as an eyeshadow! Plus I think Mascara can you make a look work and give you the polished/finished look!

2.)
Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I would chop it off and donate to charity. I've only recently started growing my hair out again, so it wouldn't be too much for me to deal with! 
 
3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

I prefer a pink cheek, although my preferences, change day to day. I think a pink looks slightly more natural, which I prefer.
  

4.) If you had £1000 to spend on anything, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Although I love makeup, I think I would rather spend it on clothes. Makeup can last you quite a while, whereas fashion is constantly changing and I certainly have a few outdated and outworn clothes.

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

(Guardian)
I personally think this is disguisting. But I would have to say, Eyeliner as Lippy, only if the eyeliner had not been previously used on eyes! 

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

MAC easily, as we don't have Sephora in the UK. I don't know what it's like.

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life? 

Eyeshadow, easily! Say a pinky eyeshadow, if you add a little Vaseline and you've got yourself a lip colour! 

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter? 

I would love to wear summer clothes all year. But living in the freeze that is UK I must answer the opposite, wearing Winter Clothes in the summer! How ridiculous!

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?  

Bright please! Dark nails can look very classy but a bright colour is fun :)!

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

I would give up a lip product, I love my eye products too much! Haha, I sound crazy!

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun? 

In a messy bun, I love all the back combing and crazyness of it. I find a ponytail a little boring, especially if it's a special occasion.

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss? 

Never you lipgloss, I have never found a lipgloss that isn't all gooey and sticks to your hair. Plus you've gotta love a painted nail!
   

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

I think I would shave them, as then you can pencil them in. I mean a sharpie!! What the hell is this question!

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Sorry nail polish but goodbye. I can live without you. Only for a while though!
