wednesday wishlist #11

1. Emotional Brilliance, LUSH £12.00

I do like lush's make-up range, I live by their colour supplement as foundation - and next up I want to try the emotional brilliance powder as i've heard such good things - £12 is pretty pricey though for a tiny little tub when you can get lots of  face powders in boots for under a fiver!

2. Nars skin smoothing face prep £23

Another pricey product, but I recently got macs prep and prime and love it but at £28 I was looking for something as good but cheaper - even if just a fiver cheaper it all adds up! I'm hoping to get this for Christmas so we'll have to see if its as good as MAC's!

3. Urban Outfitters camo jacket with Sherpa collar £25 - on sale

When the whole camouflage thing it I liked it but not enough to buy a £50 one from Topshop, (actually I did but took it back cause it's too expensive), so when I saw this one on urban outfitters for half that, plus their 20% off for 48hrs. that was last week - I couldn't pass up this offer!

4. Urban Outfitters simple camo top £15 - on sale

Again more camo! I really only liked the jackets when the first trend came out but I'm slightly more into it now - still personally don't like it in jeans though!

5. Black mega wedges Topshop £75

I'm meant to be gong out this weekend for a friends 18Th and I love thee shoes! I prefer wedges to heels as they're more comfy, and these are amazing even though I don't like peep toes!

Wednesday wishlist #10

1.  Office city Bag £49.99, Zara
In turkey there was loads of fake designer bags and I absolutely fell in love with this prada one from the new collection but at still over £250 it was still out of my price range, but i've found this! its so similar and practical with all the zips! I AM IN LOVE!!

2. Mac Lipstick in candy yum - yum £14
this is another one from the mac by request collection. I'm really into pink lipsticks since getting the matte Kate moss one in 101. this colour will be nice to wear all year round and is so vibrant!

3. Motel jeans in Gothic print £48
I love patterned jeans and this are so cool! they'll look super nice casual and for a more dressy look! I think they may be a bit short though... have to debate this one!

4. ASOS boyfriend style jeans £35
I think boyfriend jeans look so good on everyone as such a casual look for winter and easy to throw on whenever!

5. ASOS neon ribbed hat £7
We may not want to admit it but winters just round the corner and I need to be warm waiting at bus stops in the morning, so this hat ticks all the boxes!

Thanks for reading, XOXO

Duty free splurge! That's real and prep and prime!

So I don't own too many higher end make-up items, but when I was in duty free the idea of saving money on some great products id been eyeing up was just too much and I caved in and had to leave with these beauties...

On the way over to turkey, in Luton airport there's a small little benefit counter and I picked up the that's real mascara, as I'd heard really good things about it and love the brand. I got it for £15.90 instead of the usual £19 so not much saving but enough for me to take the plunge to try it! I thought it might just be a bit over hyped but it really is great. I usually use a few mascaras each day but I use this one on its own to create really long lashes, sometimes I think its a little thick but its easy to separate them with the brush with another sweep. The packaging is so nice and typical benefit like too!

The first thing I spotted in the Turkish duty free was a mac counter so was drawn straight to it! and was going I was mooching around and saw the prep and prime base. It's like a primer really, I use my fingers to apply it and it creates a smooth, even base . My foundation goes on much smoother and it''s the only primer i've tried that keeps my make-up on all day at college. And best of all every time I touch my face throughout the day, it is so smooth! This was only like a pound cheaper or something as it was Turkish lira but I'm so glad I got it!

Thanks for reading,

XOXO

Holiday time!

Thanks for reading XOXO

Wednsebury Wishlist #9

1. Rimmel Kate Moss matte lipstick £5.49
The new drug store lippy that's taking over the blogosphere! They look and seem great so I cant wait to try them not sure which I want yet the light pink or the coral, will have fun trying them out!

2. Molecule 01 Fragrance £27 for 30ml
Had never heard about this before - but recently heard it on you tube - looked into it and it sounds perfect! I don't really like scents that are too strong, but this one is subtle to you but smells so good everyone points it out! I'm so curious about this scent!

3. Givenchy inspired phone case
This one is for iPhone 5, and i've got the 4S so am looking out for one to fit mine! Love it and the t shirt too but I cant find a cheap dupe for that either - but I'm on the look out!

4. Melting snowman Bath melt £1.95 lush
CHRISTMAS TIME! its so soon I cant wait! this snowman is too cute - it just makes me want to sit and look at it - I want one so bad !

5. Topshop ombre sequin shorts £35
Although its winter, I'm still loving shorts - and with party season coming up these sequin shorts are perfect! they will look so nice on I think with a plain tee and heels or tights and a jumper! Looking out for these on my next shopping trip!

Wednesday Wishlist #8

1. Henry Holland on the wire round sunglasses £150
 Wow! I love these, I'm lusting over a pair of round sunglasses,  they're super cute and would be perfect for my holiday in a few weeks! shame on the price tag though...

2. Andy Warhol Nars, eye shadow palette £39.50
I love makeup collections, and this eye-shadow palette looks absolutely stunning - if I did get it I don't think I'd want to smudge his face though, but I'm a sucker for a limited edition!

3. ASOS Quilted jogger £30
I'm not a tracky kinda girl, I'm either more dressed up going out or in my onesie at home, but these joggers look so much nicer and less casual then your ordinary Nike ones! These would definitely keep me warm and stylish at the same time - perfect for winter!

4. Topshop black leather zip boots £45
These will look great with some thick ankle socks and skinny jeans or a dress! so versatile and not too much heel height which is good as I'm pretty tall already! Not too pricey for Topshop either, I'm definitely going to invest in a pair soon!

5. Miss Dior perfume £64 for 40 ml
I'm getting bored with my old perfume, its the apple one and although it smells lovely I want to mix it up and I love the smell of Miss Dior - it's not too overpowering which is ideal for me!

NOTW!

Hello ladies!

I used to be really into nail art, but when I went back to college my nails got in an awful chipped state as I was so busy! But i've recently rekindled my love for it!

I recently got the MUA nail beads(?) that are kind of dupes of the caviar nails - it gets a bit messy pouring them onto your nails, but I really like the effect it gives, especially on an accent nail. they are called the nail constellations - this one is Pisces, and best of all they're only £2.50! Bargain!

I went into new look the other day and there was a big queue at the tills -  where the Giles gold make-up is- so having a nosey I spotted this lovely dark grey colour, and I love it! It's only £2.99 which is good and the colour is easy to apply and has a lovely finish!

This week in outfits!

Hello!

This week I started to feel the chill abit! I think winters coming! These are a few outfits i've worn this week, hope you like!

Loving my tartan scarf! paired it with simple grey top with low hem
 from new look and my trusty Topshop skinnies!

I wore this burgundy skirt with tights and a skinny black belt with hearts on it!
Had this skirt for too long to remember where its from!

This trousers are so similar to the Topshop heart ones I love, but I got these in the sale for only £8!
paired it with an old berry coloured Topshop top and leather jacket.

Started the week with this grey Topshop dress, my leopard studded vectras
and that H&M scarf's making an appearance again!

Thanks for reading XOXO

wednesday wishlist #7

1. Revlon heated rollers £21.91 Amazon 

 I saw on dizzybrunette3's you tube video of using heated rollers (not these ones mind, those were way too expensive!) and I loved the look it gave her - volume and loose curls that don't look to over the top for everyday - is that too much to ask for? I hope not as that's the look I want!

2. Candy pink onesie £69.99 new look

 okay, so I think we can all agree £70 for a onesie is ridiculous when you can get them for a tenner in primark but its a wishlist so its allowed! I do have a onesie that I wear all the time as my room is so cold! But it has feet in it which I hate as its so restricting when you try to move - I love the look of the footless sporty style one - a girl can dream?!

3. Grey long blazer, £35 river island 

This is this weeks number one want! I'm going to look for it next time I'm shopping. It can be dressed up or down and looks warm enough for autumn too, I love that its long rather than a cropped style and the price isn't too bad for a key autumn piece. It'll look great with jeans especially!

4. Tinted lipglass in flash of flesh £13.50, MAC

This is part of the new 'mac by request' range that bring back lots of old favourites.Now that i've tried a mac lipstick I want to invest in a gloss as i've heard they're not too sticky which is good as I hate that! £13 is a bit expensive but if its as good as macs other products it'll be worth it. These tinted lipglasses are limited edition, so I better act fast!

5. Metal bar belt £25 Topshop

Belts are an easy way to change up an outfit and this belt is great. It also comes in a red leather but I thought black would go with more, I hope the metal bar is bendy enough otherwise it may look a bit strange  I'd seen similar ones on ASOS, so I might have to go compare prices as I've never paid £25 for a belt before and don't intend to start now!

A week in picture #2

Another week down, rushing around sorting out UCAS at the moment - I really should have done more of this in summer! Got some H&M winter goodies through! If we have to go into winter, I'm gunna do it in style! hope your all enjoying your week!

XOXO

Wednesday Wishlist #6

1. I saw this 'Alexander Wang' dupe multi strap bag and fell in love!! It's like £38 on Ebay which is a bargain replica of the real thing! It's on  my Christmas list and will go with everything, big enough for college too!

2. I love real techniques brushes! There I said it! They are the best brushes I've ever used and the price isn't too bad either - this ones $9 not sure what that is in £'s? The next one I want to add to my collection is the expert face brush - I want it for my cream blushers, highlighters and contouring. Only thing is it's not in my local boots, is it just an on-line one?

3. Anyone else watching styled to rock? I think it's quite good and has reignited my Henry Holland love his stuff is so cute and wearable! So while browsing this site I saw these super cute shoes. white plimsolls with black spots! I'm not a massive trainer type shoe girl I prefer loafers and dolly shoes, but I could definitely see a place for this on my shoe rack!

4. Kurt Geiger necklace - I'm looking for a nice chunky necklace and this fits the bill! its gorgeous and I was supposed that it only £30 when their shoes are way more expensive! this is also being added to my Christmas list!

5. Mac lipstick in coral bliss £14. I recently got a cream sheen lipstick in Japanese maple and I love it. I'm really liking the coral make-up trend at the moment and am wanting to try this lipstick too! I think it'll be a really nice everyday shade to brighten up my face in winter.

So another week of wishlists, I'm not really buying too much at the moment as Christmas is fast approaching - like 10, 11 weeks or something?! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Thanks for reading, xoxo

mac me happy!

cheesy name I know, but it jumped to mind when writing this...

I recently got an online mac purchase, just two items. A lipstick and blush.

I'm a mac amateur, have looked at products and loved their strobe cream, so thought i'd venture out and try some more products from them.

i got a lipstick from the creamsheen collection as i prefer a finish that isnt matte. i decided to get japanese maple (its out of stock at the moment) as it was a light beige that i thought would be nice in the daytime too.

 on first impressions i was a little shocked, £14 for a very mall lipstick, i felt abit guilty at that, but after trying it im glad i got it! its my new firm favourite!

It's lovely for a day look and feels nourishing and long lasting rather than drying like other lipsticks I have, I love the frosted finish and will definitely be looking into getting some more! the colour doesn't come out very strongly, but that's perfect for me and it's build able too.

I decided to get a cream blush, and couldn't decide between lady blush and something special, but eventually decided one on lady blush  the darker of the two shades. its a nice colour, but I cant say its become my favourite blusher, mainly as I find the cream blusher harder to work with than a powder - I'm still looking for the perfect brush for it as I don't like using my fingers to apply it.

Overall I'm happy with my purchases  I love receiving new items in the post! coming back from college to see it sitting there! I'm completely in love with the lipstick,wearing it everyday since I got it! I can now understand why they're so highly raved about! I now really want to try coral bliss too!
