Just another list of things I want but can't afford.

Hey all!

As per usual, my financial status is 'just washed a paper plate' and I can't afford half of the things that I have my eye on. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm sorry to be such an enabler but wish lists are my favourite lists to write and so here is another! Wee :)

1. Keihl's eye cream -

To be quite honest, I'm not sure exactly WHICH eye cream I want but I've heard so many good things about this brand and their eye creams and I'm currently not in possession of any eye cream at all (shocking, I know).

2. Loving Tan Bronzing Mousse -

I love fake tan and I'm getting a little tired of my Bondi Sands mousse (sorry Bondi Sands, I love you but it's time I tried something new). From rave reviews and pictures, this fake tan looks natural and long-wearing.

3. Real Techniques Brushes -

Normally I use my Sigma brushes or my beauty blender but I've been dying to try out more of the Real Techniques brushes, in particular the contour brush and the bold metals flat contour brush. I own the RT buffing brush and I adore it, so I have high expectations for the rest of them.

4. GlassHouse Fragrences candle in "Frosting" -

I believe this candle is a Peter Alexander special special and I absolutely must have it. My friend was given this candle as a gift for her birthday and OH MY it smells delicious! You know how much I love GlassHouse Fragrences and so I did have a minor heart palpitation when I saw/smelt it.

5. Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit -

Because who doesn't want a palette with 6 different, pigmented shades to contour with?

6. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette -

It's a sad fact that I don't own a single one of the naked palettes and this really has to change. I've had a good research about each palette and my favourite definitely has to be the second of the three.

7. Origins Charcoal Face Mask -

Lately I've been a little obsessed with Origins (although not so obsessed with their price tags) and the products I've tried so far haven't irritated my sensitive skin OR broken me out. This face mask claims to un-clog pores and clear the skin from it's toxins and impurities which to me, sounds like it would be well worth the pennies (if I had them).

8. Anastasia Beverley Hills DipBrow Pommade -

I'm yet to try anything but eyeshadow to fill in my brows and this one is apparently loved by many.

9. Tarte Cheek Stain in "Blushing Bride" -

I first heard about this product from Kandee Johnson (if you haven't watched her YouTube videos I'm not quite sure what you're doing?). It's such a gorgeous, natural pink colour and must have it! I've also never tried a cheek stain before.

10. Victor & Rolf Perfume in "Bon Bon" -

First of all, can I just point out how cute the bottle is? It would suit my room very well *wink wink*. Second of all, a few of my friends own this perfume and it smells a-m-a-z--i-n-g! It's meant to smell of jasmine and rich caramel..I'd say that's pretty accurate.

So they're all the things that I desperately want to buy at the moment (but can't afford). Once I have the money and am able to snaffle up these products, you'll be sure to see some reviews.

What products do you have your eye on at the moment? Do you own any of these?

May Favourites

Hey guys!

Another month, another favourites. This month has been a rather slow moving one and I'm so excited for the holidays coming up! A few more assignments at Uni to get done and I'm a free person...for a little while...squeeeeeee.

1. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

A cult favourite and actually the first Real Techniques brush I bought. I've broken the pattern of constantly using Sigma makeup brushes and I'm glad I have as this buffing brush is amazing. It's relatively cheap, dense and small in size which makes it extremely easy to work foundation into the skin. I find my foundation looks a lot more natural and seamless when using this brush and my makeup also lasts for longer...don't ask how but it does.

2. Toni&Guy Shampoo and Conditioner for Damaged Hair

I have very dry, frizzy, easily damaged hair and am constantly on the look out for products that claim to de-frizz and replenish. Aside from the conditioner "Retread" by Lush, the Toni&Guy shampoo and conditioners are the only hair washing products (that are relatively affordable) I'm thoroughly impressed with and actually make a difference to my frizzy hair situation. Not to mention they smell a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

3. Nude 'tude Eyeshadow Palette by theBalm

I've done a review on this palette HERE.

4. Treacle Moon Bath and Shower Gel in Vanilla

Basically I was in the supermarket looking for a new shower gel as I'd run out of my last one and came across this product by Treacle Moon. It's packaging is gorgeous and the perfect size as I won't run out of it in two seconds, it lathers extremely well and smells of sweet vanilla (I went on a smelling rampage of all the shower gels haha..am I the only one who does this?). I actually sat in the car smelling this all the way home because I'm a weirdo like that. But honestly, if this shower gel was edible...

5. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in "Ivory"

I've really been loving this concealer in the month of May and have used it every time I do my makeup. It's creamy formula is very easily blendible and works great under the eyes if you're looking for a more radiant look. The shade Ivory is perfect for my natural skin tone and even more perfect for when I've tanned as it works great as a highlighter. Would highly recommend this concealer to anyone.

6. Harry Potter

I had to choose a picture from the first movie because they're all SO CUTE! 

As aforementioned in my previous blog post I've gone on a little Harry Potter frenzy this month. It was sparked by a very boring evening watching YouTuber's vlogs touring the Harry Potter set and I had this sudden urge to watch every single movie in order from start to finish...and I can tell you I succeeded this ambition...in a week (yikes). Followed was that 'post-tv show/movie saga sad feeling' when there isn't any left to watch and you wish it was all real life. Or does that just happen to me?

7. Peanut Butter & Chocolate Oreos

I wish I never found these in the supermarket...I'm hooked! Honestly, if you're a peanut butter fan you will absolutely love these. Just like your normal oreo except with a half peanut butter, half chocolate cream filling. *Hashtag foodgasm*

So that's it for this month, I hope you enjoyed. Hopefully next month I'll have some more exciting things to include because I feel as though these products weren't all that thrilling.

What are your May favourites?

Beauty & Cosmetics Haul

Sooo...ummm...I took a trip to Priceline and lets just say I got a little carried away. I went in for a lipstick and came out with a whole lot more. But who can say no to a 40% off sale on all hair care products? Not me!

This is what I bought:

 1. TONI&GUY nourish shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair. I love Toni&Guy and have heard great things about this.

2. TONI&GUY prep leave in conditioner. I don't currently have a leave in conditioner and I'm on a hunt for a really good de-frizz hair product so here's hoping!

3. TRESemmé keratin smooth heat protect spray. I've run out of my Toni&Guy heat protect spray so I decided to try something new and go for the TRESemmé version. Keratin is meant to be really good for de-frizzing and replenishing the hair and a heat protect spray is a must when using hot styling tools.

4. Real Techniques expert face brush. Once again, I've heard great things about this buffing brush and I need a new one as I'm not enjoying my current foundation brush. Plus it's always good to expand your collection and try something new.

5. Revitanail base coat. I'm obsessed with painting my nails except they always chip within two seconds so I've bought a base coat in order to lengthen the life of my nail polish, and also do some good for my nails as it contains avocado oil and vitamin E.

6. Maybelline baby lips pink glow in the colour 'Pink Blast'. I needed a new lip balm and just thought the idea of having my lips tinted and smelling delicious at the same time of being moisturised was ideal (it's also a little sad that I haven't cottoned on to the baby lips trend, so it's about time).

7. Rimmel wake me up concealer in the shade 'Ivory'. Lately I've been having a lot of really good skin days where I don't actually need/want to wear foundation but just a little bit of concealer and powder, however my current concealers just aren't cutting it. I bought this product because the coverage is quite good and as my skin has been also looking a little dull, I'm hoping that it does what is claims and makes me look a little more awake!

8. Rimmel scandaleyes waterproof kohl eyeliner in the shade 'Taupe'. Holy mackerel, I swatched this eyeliner and instantly fell in love with it. It's texture is unbelievably soft, pigmented and the shade taupe is just beautiful. I think this eyeliner will come in handy when I want to have subtle, natural eye makeup in which case I can replace a black liner for this shade.

9. Revlon balm stain in #010 'Darling Chérie'. Funny story about this one actually. Mum and I were swatching the amazing Revlon balm stains and she came across this light purple, glossy shade. We both really liked it and thought it would be a fun colour to wear, however just couldn't find another one in the store. After searching high and low, the shop assistant told us this was the last one and most likely not on sale anymore. I'm not sure if it sells anywhere else but we bought it for a very cheap price anyway (she gave us a massive discount as it was a tester), and then I cleaned it up, cut off the used bits and there you have it!

10. Revlon colourburst lip butter in the shade 'Wild Watermelon' #063. Plain and simple really, I love this watermelon colour it's the sheer, moisturising texture. Watermelon lipstick colours really suit my skin tone and people often rave about the Revlon lip butters, so I'm going to give it a go!

So there you have it, my little (big?) splurge at Priceline. I always have so much fun shopping at drugstores and swatching as many products as I possibly can.

What's your current favourite drugstore product? 

Much Love
