Makeup Wishlist January 2016

I’ll be honest and say this is probably the most spontaneous post I’ve ever done. I’ve made a list of posts I want to make on here, but I’m not quite ready to share them yet, so this one was quite a random thought. 

Most of these things I actually have wanted for ages and then there’s them that I actually had to go out and look for, but I probably will end up buying them all at some point, so they’re not all completely pointless! Anyway, here are 10 things that I am hoping to buy in the year of 2016… enjoy x

1. Sigma E45 Brush
This brush has been on my wishlist since I started watching makeup videos on YouTube. I don’t know about anyone else but when I go shopping for makeup or when I look for things online, I won’t really look for brushes, I tend to lean towards actual products, if you get what I mean. So hopefully, by making this list, I might actually remember to buy this brush! To me it seems like the perfect brush to blend every eye look together. You can buy this brush here.
 
2. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
This is on my list because I’ve always wanted a setting spray, and Urban Decay has to be my all time favourite brand. The only thing that has been stopping me from buying it is the price, but I feel like if I buy it, it will hold my makeup in place a hell of a lot longer than what my makeup is like now! You can buy this setting spray here.

3. Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Moss Lipstick 107
I first saw this lipstick on one of Zoella’s anxiety videos. As soon as I saw it I had to find it because personally I think the colour is just perfect! Now I have to be honest, I’ve been trying to find this right shade for ages, so I hope it looks as lovely on me as it does on her! You can buy this lipstick here.
 
4/5. NYX Soft Matte Liquid Lipstick in Stockholm/Cairo
I’m an absolute lover of matte lipsticks, and I’ve heard really good reviews on the NYX ones. I’m also a real lover of nude lipsticks, so I feel this, or Cairo would be perfect for me, but I’m not sure which one to get yet… I might just get them both! See next note for link.

6. NYX Soft Matte Liquid Lipstick in Copenhagen
So this is the lipstick that I’ve had my heart set on for a really long time. I can’t remember where I first saw it but the only thing that’s stopping me from buying it is the fact that I can only really buy it online, and I feel like I have to buy other things alongside, I can’t just buy 3 lip glosses! But this is definitely something I will be buying in the very near future. You can buy these lipsticks here!
 
7. Too Faced ‘Better Than Sex’ Mascara
 This mascara is another one that I have been eyeing up for a really long time, the only thing again that has been stopping me, is the fact that I really just forgot. Maybe I should make a little list on my phone! I’ve heard really good reviews on mascara and I know this shouldn’t really be a reason to buy it but the packaging looks so nice! I’m currently using the Maybelline Leather Black mascara, and I honestly hate it, it smells like petrol and it just clings to your eyelashes more than any waterproof mascara (and it’s not even waterproof). You can buy this mascara here!

8. Lime Crime Velvetines Trio
Again, another item that I’ve been waiting to buy for ages, but I’ve of heard so much trouble with Lime Crime. I’ve bought the Poisonberry lipstick off them before, but I got it from another website, and I would buy the velvetines trio, but they’re so damn expensive I feel. Well actually, they’re not that bad if you think about it… and here I am typing to myself!  All brits can buy this lipstick here!
 
9. Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade ‘Olé Flamingo’

This lipstick has been on my shopping list, and I’ve genuinely looked for it, but I can never find it. I absolutely love the Rouge Edition lipsticks and this is a shade I saw on Helen Anderson’s channel. I don’t know if Bourjois are running low on this lipstick but they need to stock up their boots stores because I need this shade! You can buy this lipstick for £8.99 here!

10. MAC Relentlessly Red
This shade was one of the ‘had to look for’ shades. But by golly I’m glad I found it! In fact, I only found it today. I opened my emails and as usual I looked at my email subscription from my favourite blogger; Hannah Gale’s post. In this she showed us this gorgeous pinky red colour but it was so beautiful, it had to make it on my list! I have to admit though, I was a bit sceptical with clicking the link at first, I thought I was going to have to take out a mortgage to buy the thing, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was only priced at £15.50. You can buy the lipstick yourself here! 

Thats all for today’s post, if anyone has any makeup items that they think might fit on my list, please let me know, you can never have too much makeup 😉

March Favourites!

So I’ve just made a video on this via my YouTube channel, so I thought ‘what a perfect chance to write about my favourites on my blog!’ So here we are! Here are a few of the favourites I’ve been loving this month, I’ll definitely be doing this next month as it’s my birthday next week! 
———————————————-

Soap & Glory

Drama Clean – £6.00

This product I’ve actually been having a love/hate relationship with, but it is brilliant as a makeup remover and it’s really refreshing on your skin. The cucumber and peach scent is one you really have to train your nose to like because the cucumber is quite overpowering. Thats my personal opinion anyway! 

I enjoy using this on a morning and night just to clear up any bacteria or and makeup. Following this i’ll then use my Nivea Soft face and hand cream. That is my real love! I never really used to wear moisturiser before this year (don’t kill me i’m using it now),  and I dont really want to change it to be honest! It makes me happy and it makes my skin soft and happy. I’d put it in this post but i’ve been using it ages so giving it a little mention is good enough.

Soap & Glory

Supercat liquid Eyeliner Pen – £6.00

I love this eyeliner! I previously used Barry M’s wink and it dried out about a month into using it so I just assumed all eyeliner pens were like this. Then about a year later i purchased this and I’ve been converted! When it’s done I’m gonna purchase another! The colour is very pigmented and it is really fast drying. The Barry M one is only really pigmented at the beginning and it doesn’t like going over eyeshadow (this one doesn’t mind it) and it takes forever to dry! Which means it tends to transfer when you open your eyes.

Bourjois – Rouge Edition – Velvet 

08 Grand Cru – £8.99

I don’t have a bad word to say about this product other than it’s very liquidy when you first put it on and you’ve got to focus on spreading it out but when it’s dried it’s really creamy on your lips and it gives a lovely matte effect, and for me who had an addiction to biting my lips for years and years, when I wear this, you can barely tell my lips are damaged at all! I tend to particularly love matte products and I always try buying them when I’m browsing the lipstick area, but I’m also very picky with the colours I like! So Bourjois better feel good that i’d picked this one 😉

The Glam Guide

Fleur De Force – £7.49

Now, I’m not usually the type to be into books, but this is an exception, mainly for the fact that it’s by one of my favourite YouTubers, but also because it’s like a little dictionary for beauty and fashion lovers, with a little bit extra! You can just flick to a bit of your body you’re struggling with at that time, and nine times out of ten, Fleur will have tips on how to fix your problems! I think it’s a lot friendlier than going online and looking, where you’ll get confused because theres so many different opinions! With Fleur being the lovely role model she is, for me too… even though there aren’t many years between us, why not go to her for her thoughts. The book itself is also filled with lots of attractive photography and artwork. At the back you can find tips on how to be a YouTuber, which I myself find very helpful, even though I haven’t got round to buying a new camera yet (the tip that stands out). If you love fleur then you will absolutely love her book, her personality shines through and it’s just lovely to glance at every now and again!

Galaxy

Salted Caramel 

This is a bit of an odd post, I know. But a little bit ago, i got given a bar of this as a little treat from my mum and at first I wasn’t too keen, but i have it a few seconds in my mouth and I instantly wanted more! The salt in the caramel just gives it a little kick and it tastes really different to caramel. Also, Galaxy is my favourite so that makes it better! The salt also gives the chocolate a bit of a savoury twist, and I’m more of a savoury girl so that definitely gets a thumbs up from me!

Grey Checklist Coffee Sweater

New Look – £14.99

Wow… Wow… Wow! I absolutely love this jumper! I try keep it as long as I can without washing it (sorry!) because i just love it! It is SO comfy and I love the look of it. It’s like a slouchy jumper with a nice appearance. You know when you steal your boyfriends hoodie and you just melt? Just buy this and I suppose you could steal your boyfriends scent… you’ve got it on point! No more complaining from your other half! I’m almost

Black Floral Print Playsuit

New Look – £17.99

Firstly, I dont know why this says black, it’s clearly orange, but obviously New Look is colour blind… This is absolutely going to be my favourite spring item! I can’t wait to wear it, we just need the weather to cooperate! I can imagine going for a stroll in this in the sunshine, maybe finding a little river to sit and have a picnic with my pooch and the boyfriend. It’s gonna be absolute bliss!

When I saw this in the shop I fell in love! I raced over after seeing it on the manequin and was a bit gutted that the closest size to mine was a 6… so I got it anyway, only to find out the following week, that they had more stock delivered! I should of just asked I know but it will have to do now, I’ve thrown the tag away! It only means I will have to keep my shoulders up right because it’s impossible to move in this size.

Neppy Joggers

Topshop – £25.00

Again with the jumper, I never want to wash these! I actually want to go out in them because they may be joggers, but they make me feel so good and relaxed and pretty when I wear them. The black is so strong and the little white dots just add a bit of quirkyness to them. I love them so much, they definitely replace my pyjamas. I’m thinking about throwing all my PJ’s out because I never wear them, I just sleep in my underwear or an oversized tee, then when i get up I wear these! I’m not happy about the price I must admit, if it was cheaper I would definitely go and buy another pair, but sales will appear eventually won’t they!

NETFLIX

Better Call Saul

If you love breaking bad (RIP) you will LOVE this prequel! I think they should have named it ‘The Saul and Mike Show’ or something, because Mike is in it half as much as Saul is. Also, if you’re a bit weary about it & you’ve seen breaking bad, ill tell you about it… it’s about the career life of Saul Goodman, it starts off as his old name, James McGill, but we havent got to the bit where he changed it yet! But the story just goes through a lot of his cases, and then switches to Mikes dodgy dealings.

The Returned

I only discovered this show a couple of weeks ago but me and my boyfriend have caught up already, so we have to wait until next week to see the next show! Netflix you are so mean! This show is about a school bus that went on a trip, but on the way the bus had to swerve to avoid hitting a young boy in the middle of the road and they went over a cliff. Four years later the victims return to their family casually and they all have to find a way round living, especially when they come across people who assume them to be dead! The boy returns, but it hasn’t revealed who he is yet! It is a show that you can easily get hooked on if you’re into like ‘investigation’ type movies. Love it.

(TV) Impractical Jokers

This hilarious show is a prank show! Apparently they do a UK version but i’ve only seen it on YouTube. It is a real life show where 4 life long best friends humiliate each other in the most creative way possible, ensuring the majority is quite dirty and embarrassing for the person who is undergoing a prank. In some cases they hire out cashier desk of shops, restaurants, or bars to fool customers into answering their disturbingly set-up questions! Definitely worth a watch!
