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?

Shopping Withdrawals

Lately I've been all about the saving and less about the spending purely because I have a million and one things coming up that require the cash dollar. To prevent myself wasting all the hard earned money I'm going to make yet ANOTHER list of all the things I want to buy.

I swear this has become one of my favourite things to blog about ha ha (sorry for being such an enabler). Enjoy! 

From top to bottom, left to right: 

1. Lorac Pro Palette 

2. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray 

3. Nars Copacabana Illuminator 

4. Benefit Posie Tint Lip & Cheek Stain 

5. Sigma F80 Brush 

6. Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid 

7. Benefit The Porefessional Primer

Now I feel a little better that that's out of my system and I also now have a list to remind me of what to buy when I can spend the money ;) *mischievously giggles* 

Do you own any/want any of these products? Which are your favourite?

My name is Isobel and I'm a shopaholic

Yes, it's true. And the fact I'm a poor college student doesn't help my situation in the slightest, so to keep my longing for all things materialistic and beauty related at bay, I've decided to make a list of the items I currently want to buy.

This might give you some ideas and inspirations for things you want, and if you're a shopaholic trying not to spend money like me..well..I'm sorry for tempting you. *Hashtag first world problems*

1. Bobbi Brown Face Blender Brush - Thanks to YouTuber Tanya Burr mentioning this brush in her video, I now have to try it. You can find the video HERE.

2. MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in "Creme cup" - Cremesheen lipsticks by MAC are my favourite and this shade is a beautiful light pink, perfect for a natural everyday look or to accompany bold eye makeup.

3. Elizabeth Arden Fragrance in "Mediterranean" - I remember having a sample of this yonks ago and absolutely fricken loving it so I've decided it's about time I go back and repurchase in a larger bottle...when I have the money of course. Sad face.

4. Doc Martin Shoes in Black - I think these shoes are a fashion staple as they can pretty much be teamed with any casual outfit, are comfy and look really cool.

5. Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara - I don't own a bottom lash mascara and I think it's about time I did as I'm constantly having the struggle of trying to make my bottom lashes not too heavy looking and getting rid of any bits that have smudged below my eyes. I've heard good things about this one.

6. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream- This cream claims to do a lot of great things and it's been raved about constantly so clearly I need one for myself...

7. MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in "Peach Blossom" - Again, I love MAC cremesheen lipsticks and this is a beautiful peachy, pink colour. Would be a gorgeous everyday wear.

8. NARS Blush in "Orgasm" - Such a cult favourite and I'm a little ashamed I'm so far behind on the band wagon. I'm on the hunt for a new, natural looking blush and this seems to fit the bill perfectly...plus a little shimmer never hurt anybody.

9. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation - This foundation, although very much on the pricey side, has been talked up about massively and would be great for special occasions. It's got such a gorgeous texture and finish from the pictures that I've seen.

10. OPI Brazil Minis Collection - I saw this the other day in the chemist and I now absolutely have to have it. I've been collecting OPI for some time now and to say I have an obsession is an understatement. I love the minis as you can buy more for less and I highly doubt I'll ever get through one of those massive bottles. The colours in this collection are very summery, exotic and predominately opaque. The shade that stands out most for me is "AmazON...AmazOFF"; a deep jungle green colour.

11. Lorac Pro Palette - Once again, this is such a cult favourite that I feel as though my makeup collection isn't complete without it...but then again, will it ever be complete? Probably not.

12. St Tropez Classic Tanning Mouse - I fake tan a lot of the time and from reviews, this seems to be one of the best. A lot of professional salons use St Tropez, as do a lot of my friends and the results look flawless.

13. Clarins Lip Balm Crayon in "Pink Me" - This seems to me like such a staple lip product and one that I would wear a lot. Not only is it a gorgeous, sheer pink colour but it's also moisturising on the lips and the fact that Clarins have now spiced things up a bit from the regular crayon lipsticks, intrigues me.

14. Nars Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base - My current MAC eye primer isn't satisfying me (for reasons I may explain in a review later on) and so I thought I'd give this one ago.

So that's my very long list of things I really want to buy, I hope you enjoyed it. It's relieved me a little of my desire to go and spend more money!!

Have you tried any of these products/items? What things are you hanging out to buy?
