Autumn/Winter Clothing Wishlist

There are so many awesome coats around this year and I probably won't be picking up a new one as I still have my trusty Topshop 3 in 1 Parka coat and a couple of others, but that won't stop me from wanting one though!

On my wishlist I have
*Ravel Washington Boots £80
*South Fur Collar Coat £65
*Camel Coat from ebay £20
*Fiorelli Mani Tote £65

Apart from the coats being pretty I love these over the knee boots from Ravel. The only question is will they fit over skinny jeans? I bought some knee boots from Iron Fist and annoyingly they don't fit over jeans so I hardly wear them.
I love the Fiorelli bag as it looks a good size like it would make a good baby changing bag. I have my Pink Lining Yummy Mummy one at the moment but I would like this as well as it's abit more stylish .
So this is my apparel Wishlist I may see what goes in the January sales.

My Christmas Wishlist

So it's that time of year and I admit I have already started my Christmas shopping.
Here is a round up of my wishlist for this year. It is mostly Charlotte Tilbury as this woman can just do no wrong lol.

Charlotte Tilbury Fallen Angel Palette - This is the perfect smokey eye palette. I have declared my love for it in many posts so I won't go on.

Charlotte Tilbury Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lipstick Lustre - I admit I only want this to complete The Supermodel collection as I already have the Confession lipstick. I am not blown over by it and a part of me thinks that this might make it come alive and me think oh yeah there it is? Who knows.

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick Charms -
Oh my these are the cutest mini lipsticks ever! You get 3 lipsticks which are Penelope Pink, Bitch Perfect and So Marilyn. What a great way to try them out as the first two look very similar from online swatches and you can't go wrong with a bright red. I wish she would do 3 matte lipstick charms that would just be amazing.

Slipknot, Korn Standing Tickets - well my husband has already bought this so it is kind of cheating but we do not have them in our hands to hold just yet. We missed out seeing them 5 years ago due to it selling out. We bought tickets on eBay for twice the price and then they never turned out. We got our money back but we have regretted not seeing Slipknot for years! We have seen Korn twice but we still love them as well. This will be a special trip as our daughter will be 6 months by this gig and I'm dreading leaving her for the evening but I know I have to and I will enjoy a rare night out with my husband.

Nars Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella - since I've got the Dolce Vita shade I can't get how comfortable and easy it is to wear and I know a bright red lip is high maintenance. I have the YSL Rouge pur couture in 01 and it is a pain in the arse to apply and maintain. I do love a bright red lip and I'm thinking that a matte formula is the way to go so watch this space. Yes I have tried the Rimmel Kate lipsticks but it is still not hitting the spot for me.

So that's my wishlist. What are you hoping for this year?

Current Autumn Wishlist

Here is what I am currently lusting after and it includes alot of Charlotte Tilbury. As a new mum I need to be practical as this bag from Fiorelli - the Mani tote could make a perfect baby changing bag as it would fit all my mummy necessities in and more.
I love the camel coats around at the moment but they are all dry clean only which I'm thinking isn't a good idea for me as just one bit of baby sick = a expensive trip to the cleaners. My favourite Charlotte Tilbury products are the Dolce Vita palette and one or two of the new matte revolution lipsticks. I really want to try Amazing Grace!

So this is my current wishlist :-)

On My Radar

Here are some items that are currently on my radar!

Fiorelli Perry Bag RRP £45, Sale £22.50
This summer it is all about small bags where I can just carry my essentials around with me. This is very unlike me as I usually like carrying around a giant horde of stuff. Anyway soon when my baby is born (anyday now) I will have my Pink Lining Yummy Mummy changing bag to carry around with me so I want to streamline my own bits and bobs.

Charlotte Tilbury - Dolca Vita Palette £38
Yes the price is a little steep for 4 eyeshadow but the look that gives looks breathtakingly stunning. You can get both day and night looks from this. No matter what you say I will find a way to justify the hefty price tag for this. I just need it ok.

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade - Dark Brown £15
I never feel 'done' until I have my eyebrows made up. I currently use Benefits Brow Zings which completely transformed my life. I am useless with pencils but now this product has perked up my interest as it has received such good reviews everywhere. Also it would just be a one step process rather than the 2 with the Benefit product. Anything to make my life easier.

New Look Coral/Tan Sandal £15.99
I am so sick of wearing flip flops but I am struggling to fit my 9 month pregnant cankles into anything else and probably not even these but as she is due anyday (please god today?) I am told my feet will go back or normal more or less immediately after the birth. So what a nice way to celebrate than with some new summer sandals. These will also go with lots of outfits and the above Fiorelli bag (see where I am going with that). These were on sale on ASOS for £12 but they've just sold out boo! But luckily for me i managed to bag the last of my size just in the nick of time.

Bare Minerals Marvellous Moxie Lipstick - Speak Your Mind £13.95
I remember seeing swatches of this on a blog ages ago (can't remember which) and it's just stuck with me as looking gorgeous on. It was like the everyday perfect pinky hue. I have not forgot about it and really should take the time out to swatch it for myself. As I've recently learned that looking at swatches online is completely useless as they can look totally different on you and in real life in general.

So that's it my current lustings. Unfortunately most are high end so I will have to continue to want but seriously they all look gorgeous! Let me know what you are currently craving? Or if you have found any bargains.

Drugstore Wishlist

My wishlist changes from week to week usually but here are a few items which have stayed constant. All these items can be picked up from your local drugstore or even supermarket.
I like to wait until Boots or Superdrug have a good offer on (usually 3 for 2) before purchasing any drugstore products. Here is what I am currently lusting after:

Revlon Matte Lip Balm Crayon - Elusive
These have had a lot of hype since release but I do want to try them out for myself. I keep looking at online swatches of this and I can't work out if it a everyday matte nude pink or something much darker and deeper. I really should go look in store but at 9 months pregnant I have become a recluse. This colour seems to be the one that catches my eye the most out of the mattes.

Revlon Lacquer Lip Balm Crayon - Demure
These lacquer balms where released at the same time as the mattes mentioned above. They don't have the same hype around them and they don't have as many positive reviews about them but my does this look pretty. This colour looks like a nude glittery pink gloss which usually isn't my thing but for some reason I really want this bad. I don't have anything like it in my collection so I really want to try it. I also want to try the colour Tease but I feel like I would use this neutral colour more.

Bourjois CC Cream
This looks like the perfect face base for summer to tone down any facial redness and to give you that more done look than going bare. I don't know why I haven't tried this yet. It looks to be the perfect solution for when you don't want to wear foundation which I hardly ever do.

Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturiser
As I mentioned before I'm currently 9 months pregnant, this makes the smallest tasks harder. Such as reaching down to put on shoes which is now impossible hello flip flops. Anyway anything that can make my life easier works for me so a spray on moisturiser sounds right up my street.

Have you tried any of these items and what do you think? Do they live up to the hype?

My Current Wishlist

So I keep trying to put these products to the back of my mind but they keep creeping back up. I can't help it i want them so I decided to mentally add them to a wishlist and hope that I can treat myself to one or two of these items within the next couple of months.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick
This has had lots of rave reviews and it looks so effortless to apply. I love the quality of Bobbi Brown products. I do have a high end Lancome foundation but it is quite thick and full coverage that I just can the bothered to apply part from on special occasions but I can imagine using this daily. Or at least that is what I have convinced myself.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheap Pencil - Pink Venus
After seeing this on another blog it looked absolutely beautiful on the lips and it seems like a subtle pink perfect for the season. The fact that it is waxy and more towards a full lip colour than just a liner has me sold on this product.

Soap & Glory Archery Brow Pencil
I've tried numerous brow pencils that always look crap but the fact this has a felt tip like nib on one end gives this more precision than ones I've tried in the past. I do love my Benefit Brow Zings but I'm hoping this would be quicker to use and more fuss free.

Soap & Glory Supercat Liner
Liquid eyeliners always look more black than kohl and since I got a felt tip like liquid eyeliner with a past Glossybox I've never looked back. I love how effortlessly you can get a cat eye flick and the staying powder has been good. I've never tried this Soap & Glory one but I do want to now my other is running out.

So that's my current lustings, if you have tried any of these products I would appreciate your opinions so if you want to leave me a comment I would be grateful. X

My Birthday Wishlist - I'm 27 Next Week

So I'm 27 next week eek! and seeing as I'm nearly 6 months pregnant I haven't bought myself anything apart from 'essential' maternity clothes in a while :-P  All my wishlists are now 100% made up of things for the baby as babies need so many things and most are expensive and if I've not been buying those items then it's been things to decorate the nursery. But as it's my birthday I feel like I deserve something just for me personally which is still hard to do 100% without feeling guilty. So here goes:

Zara Office Mini City Bag - Grey £29.99
I remember wanting this in black ages ago but somehow I forgot about it but now it has come back to the forefront of my mind. It is simple and stunning. I love being organised and having a pocket for everything so this is what I want!

L'occitane Make Up Bag £6
I love the smallish size of these and they come in lots of pretty designs. I plan to use it in my Zara bag to store all my beauty essentials to keep my bag organised and tidy. You can pick them up on eBay for approximately £6

Benefit How To Look The Best At Everything Kit - Light £25.50
At the moment I haven't been bothering with make up but now that I am starting to feel like my normal self again I realise that the whole pregnancy glow thing is a myth and my skin isn't looking to great. This will help to cover any blemishes and help me fake some nice skin.

Burts Bees Mama Bee - Leg and Foot Cream £12.99
I love Burts Bees alot and I remember that they used to have a Mama Bee gift set but I can't find it but this is the product that I would most like to try from the range. I remember the coconut foot moisturiser being my favourite ever so I would like to give this ago.

Pink Linings Yummy Mummy Changing Bag £79.99
Yes this isn't 100% for me and is abit of a cheat item but I really want to indulge on it. I know that it is expensive and that I already have a nice Cosatto changing bag to match my pram but just look how beautiful it is. It also comes with a nappy changing matt and has lots of inside pockets and special storage areas for everything baby related. I am a sucker for bag organisation and this is just so pretty. It comes in loads of gorgeous designs but I love this Bee one best. I would feel proud to carry this bag around and as a first time mum I feel that this bag would be a great help.

My Most Wanted Christmas Presents = 90% palettes

So here I am again with a shortlist of what I want for Christmas, I've had to do this again as I keep changing my mind haha.
But here is what is set in stone there is no going back now. I am not expecting to get all of these luxurious gifts but I would be very happy with any that I receive.

1. Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette £42
This item has been at my number 1 spot since its release it just looks stunning in every way. I am very happy to report that my husband ordered this for me for Christmas and it arrived on Friday. Needless to say there was no separating me from this palette and I refused to let him take it away to be saved to Christmas. I know naughty me so I will be posting some looks with this beauty very soon.

2. Nars One Night Stand Guy Bourdin Palette £45
So I am going completely palette crazy this Christmas and I can't help it just look at this!. It is the most perfect cheek palette ever to exist. It has only just been released and is currently only available at Space NK in the UK.
It contains 4 blushes, 1 highlighter and 1 bronzer. It includes their most famous offerings of orgasm, deep throat and laguna all of which I own none so I totally need this in my life.
This could be another one of those presents that won't make it away from me to be wrapped.

3. Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette £37
It may be hard to believe but I don't own any of the Naked palettes I know crazy right. I decided that it's time to change that and after lovingly gazing at the shadows in both the naked 1 and 2 palettes I've decided that I would get more use out of the naked 1. I feel like I could put together more looks with this one where as with the 2 I might have to bring in another palette to complete the look. Anyway my mum has kindly agreed to buy me this one.

4. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette £56
This like the first 2 is also a limited edition palette and one that I might have to miss out on as I think it's already sold out. Anyway that won't stop me from looking or lusting after it. It look gorgeous and I've never tried any of the Hourglass powders and this looks like the perfect introduction to them. If I can't get hold of this I will have to settle to buying just one of the powders but which to choose hmm.

5. Origins Morning to Night Set £40
Whoa something that's not a palette! This skincare set looks right up my street, I already have the Ginzing moisturiser which I'm enjoying using but here you get the eye cream and the night cream too which I really want to try.

So that's it my Christmas list let's hope that I've been a good girl this year and I get some gorgeous beauty gifts.
Have any of these made your Christmas list?

My Skincare Wishlist

My skincare wishlist is quickly snowballing at a alarming rate but here is what my top items are:

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm £34 for 100ml
This seems to be a must have for bloggers as it seems that this product is a staple in most bloggers skincare routines such as Lily Pebbles and Vivianna does makeup. I really want to try this as I have never tried any apart from foaming wash cleansers.

Origins Ginzing Moisturiser £23 for 30ml
This is such a hyped up product but I can't help but to lust after it. It seems to be featured in a lot of blogs and magazines so I want to test this wonder product for myself. It is a good time for me to get this as I have currently run out of both my facial moisturisers.

Hydraluron £24.99 for 30ml
This is another hyped up product that I was on the fence about but I wouldn't mind trying it. It is supposed to make your moisturiser work a lot better and to hydrate your skin more efficiently. It helps to make your skin absorb your moisturiser better and to retain it.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Recovery Complex II 30ml £48
This is totally a spurge product that I don't know if I can justify the high price tag. I don't currently use a serum but I am in the market for one and apparently this is the best of the best. I want to try this so bad but I will have to wait and see.

La Roche Posay Serozinc £13.70 for 150ml ebay seller monsieurgeorgew 

This isn't available in the UK yet sadly but you can buy it from eBay or some international websites that ship to the UK. This toner is another blogger favourite and I like the idea of it being in the form of a spray. I really want to try this out as I've read such amazing things about it, it definitely has a lot of hype to live up to. The price isn't too bad for a high end toner so I will be purchasing this soon.

So these are my current skincare lustings and I'm sure that I'll never purchase them all but I can always dream.
What is your top skincare product that you want to purchase?

My never ending wishlist continues...

Here what I am currently lusting over:

*Nuxe Reve De Miel Baume Levres - This has amazing reviews across lots of blogs and my lips are very dry at the moment so I really want to try this out.

*Nars Happening Palette - I'm a sucker for palettes with multiple items in and this has blush, bronzer and eyeshadows so it is right up my street. I believe this is hard to get hold of now as It was limited edition earlier in the year boo! But I've not given up hope.

*YSL Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick in Corail Incandescent - since I've recently got two other shades of this lipstick and I've fell head over heels for it I now want it in more colours. This shade is next on my list.

*Night Film by Marisha Pessi - I love a good book and this horror/thriller sounds perfect for me, so I'm hoping to pick this up soon.

What do you think of my current picks?

Things that I intend to buy instead of my beauty box subscription! Each one I can guarantee that I will love.

So I've had my fun with my Glossybox subscription but now I've started to feel like it's a waste of money I always like 1 or 2 things out of the boxes and convince myself that I like the rest when I don't. They all get left in a Glossybox unused so I've decided to cancel my subscription after I get my September one (which will be free as I've redeemed my 1000 Glossydots) and spend the money month by month buying things that are on my wishlist. These are items that I know that I will love! Here is a low down of my planned purchases that are a £1 or 2 either way of my Glossybox subscription price of £12.95.

The Balm Instain blusher in Swiss Dot £14.40 @ Feelunique
I absolutely adore this blush since I got the tiny sample. Which h is still going by the way a little of this product goes a long way and the pigmentation is first class.

Burt's Bees Essentials set £12.99 @ Burts Bees
I already have the lip balm in this which I love but I recently bought my mother in law this set for her birthday and I struggled to hand it over as I knew that I wanted it for myself. She was very kind though and let me test it. The foot cream is my favourite as well as smelling gorgeous you can feel the results instantly. This is a box of items that I know that I will love every single item which I can't say about my Glossyboxes.

Mac Lipstick £15.00 @ Mac
Any will do but but Ravishing is top on my list, but i want the Rebecca Moses Illustrated palette in brown which has Ravishing in so I might get another colour. Anyway I would happily trade a whole Glossybox for a Mac lipstick.

Nuxe Reve De Miel Handcream £10 @ Nuxe
I know I've raved a lot about this lately but it really is amazing! The best hand cream ever hands down. Anyway my small sample of this is getting low so I full size one of these is on my wishlist.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush £10.79 @ Feel Unique
I don't own any Real Techniques brushes yet but I do want to build up a collection so month by month I could get a different one.

So what do you think of my idea? Do you subscribe to any Beauty boxes? And do you always like what you get?

My wishlist for August

Here are the items that I really want to buy and I will be pining over through August. Hopefully I will be able to afford to buy at least 1 or 2 items from this wishlist.

1. Urban Decay Smoked Palette
I have wanting this for a few months now but it's never took priority until now. This palette looks absolutely gorgeous and even though it's called smoked and aims to give you the best smokey eyes, you don't have to use it to have smokey eyes. I feel like I will have so many options with this palette and I can't wait to try out lots of new looks with it.

2. Nars Creamy Concealer - Chantilly
I have wanted to try this concealer after reading so many raving reviews about it on lots of blogs. It always looks amazing in action and I hope it works for me.

3. Benefit Coralista blusher
This is my favourite blusher, I get a lot of complements on it when I wear it. I discovered it in my Powda Wowza palette but now I can see the bottom of the pan and I'm panicking that it will run out anyway now so I need to repurchase pronto.

4. Real Techniques Core Collection face brushes
I have a good set of eye brushes which are my Too Faced ones but I see so many bloggers who swear by these brushes only. So seeing as I need some proper face brushes anyway I would love to try these out.

5. Lush Lip Scrub Mint Julips
I am loving matte lipstick at the moment but I'm finding that the downside to it as it settles in every crack and makes dry lips look even worse. So I'm hoping this will solve all my problems.

What is on your current wishlist and have you tried any off mine and what did you think?
