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?

Here we go...

My first proper video.

This video is sponsored by 

Taylor's Whinging Company Ltd

Disclaimer .. these are only my opinions I don't expect you guys to feel the same.




These are the overview of my products


Really nice coverage if blended in properly.


The 3 round makeup sponges I didn't blog about.
But the Applicator Mitt is super easy to use and blends the product really well.


It's a good Polish Remover but I find the cheaper versions more effective.


You can see this in use (here)
My easy French Manicure


Really good coverage concealor
I only bought it because of (Zoella) 
  recommending it in one of her videos



Pressed Powder in Shade 1
Really nice and leaves matte complexion

 
Air brushed finish, it feels really lightweight on the skin and 
covers any imperfections and redness.


Gelly Nail Paint 
in Prickly Pear 
Stay tuned for a review this week.
But I really love the colour so far!

 My nails in this picture are the Jack Wills Dandelion
My review is (here)


This product reminded me of the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Palette
Only this was £3.50.
I can't wait to use it.


Although I'm holding the mascara upside down, it is a really good buy.


 The one I can't pronounce, haha. 
Gorgeous colour!




 
This stunning Kate Moss Lip stick in number 08

An everyday lippy.

Have a great week.

Easy French Manicure...

Hey guys...

I am blogging from my bed tonight

it's so cosy and much warmer than my lounge haha.


I may have 'accidently' slipped into Superdrug again

and 'accidently' purchased a considerable amount

Oh dear

It's a good thing I've just been paid.


Anyway

I was thinking about other nail effects I could show you guys

and I thought about how much I struggled to get the hang of 

a french manicured finish at college

Then I purchased this today



and thought it might make doing it a bit easier

FYI - I don't practice looks before I do it, so sorry if it turns out a bit naff.

The thing with French finish .. you don't need longish nails

because it gives you that effect even if you bite your nails

you silly person. Hehe.


1. You've got to start of with clean unpolished nails

Mines aren't usually this long..


 Remember it's ok if you don't have any nail
as you can fill it in yourself


This is the natural nail colour I'm using



BarryM 125 in Pale Purple
which is a really nice colour on it's own. 


2. Using the BarryM Nail Pen in White, draw around your natural nail tip and a bit more if you like, but still making sure it looks natural.

 A little something like this
and my computer in the background on my comfy duvet

It's really easy to draw on.
You don't have to faff around with tape 
or making huge scruff marks on your skin.


3. Now using the natural Pale Purple colour paint two layers over the white polish.
Your white tips will show through and then can be used like a stencil.

 
First Coat















Second Coat









 See how it's like a stencil under the natural colour!

4. You must wait for the natural colour to dry
Then draw away
it is actually like using a felt tip 
so easy!

 
See how it covers up the pinkyness 

and the finished product...


One French Polish without the faff 
without the £30 salon fee

In the comfort of your own home.

Show me your try outs!
I'd love to see it.

Jack Wills Dandelion Review

Hey guys!

As some of you may know, at the weekend 
I went to Gunwharf

My local Outlet Shopping Centre




Had a clearance area, I picked up a pair of shorts for summer 

But to get the 50% off the shorts I had to buy something else

It could be anything I wanted

I had my eye on this Polish



Cause it's not your usual Pink or Blue or Purple

It's called Dandelion

And is a Yellowish Brownish colour





 Pro's

It drys quickly
It's a bit Bohemian
It was only £3.00


Con's 

It's a bit watery 
And the colour reminds me of babypoop
Sorry!


Hope you had a lovely Half Term

Heather

Superdrug Haul...

At the weekend I may have sneaked into
Superdrug for a few bits and pieces.

They have a 3 for 2 deal at the moment

and to be honest

we all know it would be a bit rude if I didn't get some things!! 
 Cheeky!


The funny thing is, I was checking out the stuff to purchase,

I picked up 5 cosmetics (before realising the offer)

      Daniel sighed with relief once we got to the counter 

and the woman asked me if I want a 6th product for free!

Ehh Yes please!!

   So Daniel had to endure another 5-10 minutes of me making my mind up :) happy days.


 Goody bag! Full of ... Goodies!
