I'm having a bit of a lip-product obsession right now- most of my makeup-life it has always been brightly coloured eyeshadows and glittery eyeliners but so far 2013 has brought me a lip product related love. I have tried out tons of the recent lip offerings inclusing revlon just bitten kissable balm stains which are just beautiful, the revlon lip butters, the newish rimmel apocalips glosses and several others- I jut can't seem to get enough! And most of my wishlist is just more, haha!
Lip products
Tom Ford lipstick in shade Black Orchid £36
Now this is pricey for a lipstick but ever since I saw Lisa Eldridge's 1 lipstick 4 looks type video (here) featuring this lipstick I knew I needed it. It's been on my wishlist for AGES and yet I never feel like I can justify spending the best part of £40 on one beauty product. However I'm getting to the point now where I just need it before - God forbid - I can no longer get my hands on it. Plus, I wouldn't think twice about spending that on a nice dress which I may only wear twice- yet I may wear this lipstick a hundred times (yes, of course) it is now justified.
Lime crime Velvetine in Red Velvet - $16.99 (work out to be £10.82 without shipping)
I follow Doe Deere on twitter, she is the 'Unicorn queen' of Lime crime cosmetics and between her and the Lime crime facebook page I am bombarded with advertising and beautiful pictures of their cosmetics. The velvetines are at the very top of my wishlist for Lime crime makeup as they look something really different and one of a kind. Reviews say its a sort of matte lipgloss which dries to a non-transferable finish which sounds fantastic to me. Plus the matte velvet-look is very timeless and beautiful when you need a break from a glossy lip. Plus I know my boyfriend will like the idea of these - he HATES gloss!
YSL Rouge pur Couture Glossy Stain - £23.50
I have a sneaky feeling that someone I love very much may have got me one of these for my birthday (if I am very very lucky) as I begged for one. They just have fantastic reviews, everyone loves them and to be perfectly honest I just really want to own a YSL product as I don't own anything that beautifully packaged and expensive! They just look so indulgent and I really can't wait to try one out.
Other Beauty
Urban Decay De-slick Setting Spray £19.50
Missglamorazzi aka Ingrid is often mentioning the wonders of this product for her oily skin and mine is sometimes quite oily in the summertime so I fancied trying out this product as it sounds really great. I actually picked it up in Debenhams the other day but I hadn't realsed quite how expensive it is- I was thinking more along the lines of £12.50 or something- I just couldn't bring myself to spend (basically) £20 on a skincare product as I'd much rather go to Sleek and buy 4 lipsticks for that! Haha, I am terrible, but it's true! Maybe one day it will be mine.
MeMeMe Highlighter In Beat the Blues £5.50
Again, I have heard on the blogosphere about how this is a great dupe for the Benefit High Beam highlighter which I have used before but have not ever forked out the £19.50 (!!!) to have one myself. I like the product but I personally think it's a lot of money for what it is and the packaging isn't even that good - I find the little brush is a bit useless and I much prefer the applicator of, say, Girl Meets Pearl. I would like to try this product instead as it's supposed to be similar but much cheaper.
Rimmel Scanadaleyes kohl kajal eyeliner in Nude £3.99
I have wanted to try a nude eyeliner on the waterline rather than a white for a long time now as it is supposed to be much more natural-looking. This is a cheap alternative to the more expensive high-end brands that make nude eyeliners and it's had positive reviews so far. I like the sound of this and for the cheap price I feel it's worth a try.
Bourjois Paris Bronzing Primer £9.99
Vivianna and Lily Pebbles have been mentioning this product plenty in recent videos/blog posts and I am intrigues as to what it is and how it performs more than anything. It's apparently awful as a primer but great as a cream bronzer product. I've never had one of those before and although I'm not a huge bronzer fan I reckon a nic, easily-blendable mousse formula might make me a bit sunkissed and beautiful, no? Well, it's worth a shot. I have the chocolate-looking-bronzer from Bourjois already and I quite like that- it's not too dark or shimmery and I find it quite light for a pale skintone. My only grumble is the price tag - which personally I believe is a bit high for a simple 'drugstore' brand.
Nivea Body in shower lotion £3.39 at Superdrug - save 1/3 (400ml)
Even though I have LOADS of body lotions/moisturizers/butters already, I hardly ever use them because I am so darn lazy- and hate having to lather them on after a bath or shower. Because, to be truthful, after a bath I usually want to curl up and go to sleep and after a shower I'm usually rushing and don't have time to stand around waiting for it to sink in. Plus, who wants to stand naked for ages waiting for it to sink in? I'd be freezing, and paranoid, too, as people ALWAYS seem to knock when you're in this situation (or when you've got wet nails - what is life?). So anyway, after that rant, you can probably see my main reason for wanting to try this out. I just love a good gimmick, too, so anything new and exciting I just need to try out.
Fashion
Topshop MOTO Bleach Acid Mom jeans £40
Again, in the blogosphere I have seen these all over the place, and all kinds of shapes have proclaimed their love for these jeans. Apparently they are figure-flatterers for all sizes and I really want to try them on when I can. I find that non-skinny jeans usually make me feel massive because I have grown so used to wearing a pair of figure-hugging, tummy-pully-inny skinnies- but I would love to give these a go. They have that fantastic grungy 90's vibe and could look fantastic with a band tee and lots of eyeliner - my favourite.
Romwe Skeleton print white shirt £21.48
I have been after a white shirt to wear my brilliant skeleton hand eBay collar tips with - yes I did buy these before having a shirt I could actually wear them with, what an idiot - and this would be absolutely perfect! Because of the skeleton print it would really go with the theme and I like the slightly rock/punk type of style. This shirt looks super cute and I can't wait for it to come in stick so I can order one! The only catch is I have NO IDEA which size to get - M or L? Please comment if you have experience in Romwe sizing because I am definitely stuck.
H&M rings £5.99 for the pair
I very recently (i.e. today) saw this on a blog post by Nouvelle Daily which you can see here, and I straightaway was drawn to these beautiful rings! I just LOVE the turquoise one. I am a huge fan of chunky silvery rings and this is just lovely in my opinion. I never seem to look at jewellery when in H&M but it seems that in future trips, I need to!
What's on your wishlist?
Hope you had a great weekend and an at least alright Monday.
Lots of love, thanks for reading!
