Beauty Wishlist

Hey everyone, 

So i've noticed lately that there are a lot of new and old things out there to buy that I've been wanting for a long time or would love to try out... so I thought i'd put it all together and show you and it might tickle your fancy :D


Lets get into it...




1. Benefit Lollitint -

So I've seen this quite a few times recently and didn't realise it existed until a few weeks ago but now I've found it I would definitely love to get it in the future! It is another one of Benefit's lip and cheek stains and its in this pretty girly pink colour. I already have Benefit's highbeam and benetint and i'm very pleased with the consistency of them and how they blend out easily. 


2. Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush - 

My mum has quite a few of these watercolour blushes and they are very pretty and so much easier to blend than regular cream blushes. I love all of the shades of these blushes but the one that caught my eye was the blush in the shade 'Charm'. It's such a natural pinky peach colour and one that I would opt to wear on an everyday basis. 


3. Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in 'Painterly' - 

I've seen Mac's paint pots around for such a long time now and I still haven't got around to getting any but if I were to get a shade, I would definitely opt for 'Painterly'. It looks like such a good neutral base that will cover up any extra redness that concealer doesn't cover up and will give any eye product something to cling to and not slide about or rub off.


4. Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 'Apocalyptic' - 

Another thing that I'd love to treat myself to is one of the Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers in the shade 'Apocalyptic'. Out of all of the shades this one stood out to me and its not just because its one of the brightest hehe... I like to sometimes mix up what I wear on my lips and this fuchsia pink is definitely something I would want to make work.


5. Sleek Brow Kit in 'Light' - 

At the moment, I don't often do a lot with my eyebrows only really filling them in a little bit with an eye shadow but I would definitely like to purchase something like this sleek brow kit to get myself into a routine of filling them in and making them look sleek. (haha pardon the pun)


6. Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer - 

I don't own many primers but whilst I was out in superdrugs a few weeks ago, I spotted this and nearly brought it and definitely regret that I put it back. I think if I started to wear a primer under my makeup it will last much longer.


7. OPI Matte Top Coat -

I've seen many different matte top coats out there that bloggers and youtubers have reviewed but in my opinion this OPI one looked the best with all of the swatches. It's also from a brand I know well and have tried out many if their products.


8. Revlon Matte Balm - 

I've seen this online quite a bit and I'd love to get some and try them out... I own a few jumbo balm sticks and some matte lip lipsticks but never the two different things in one product. I can't pick a colour but I love the one in the picture I chose which is a deep plumy colour. 


9. Eos lip balm - 

I've had an eos lip balm before ... I think I owned the strawberry scented one and it really helped moisturise my lips and make them softer especially during the winter. Again I don't might which one I'd get and the one in the picture I think is the sweet mint one.


10. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Metallic Pomegranate' - 

Finally... This is another base product haha but I already have the 'rose gold' pinky shade (I think that's what it's called) I think last year dark reds and plum colours really came into fashion and I still of it and this is something I wanted to get then but just didn't get round to getting it.


I hope you enjoyed reading this :D sorry for my absence on here but I've had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on and I've been trying to get back into the routine of writing blog posts x

Fall/Autumn Lipsticks

Hey everyone, 

So we are in fall/autumn right now (whatever you would like to call it ) and I just love wearing darker/more statement lip colours. I thought that I'd share with you the ones that I have been loving and what I would recommend to you.   


If you love wearing darker/more statement makeup in fall/autumn as well... leave me a comment telling me your favourite lipsticks and other beauty products. I would love to know :) 



So the first one that I have been using most frequently is one that I got for my birthday around about last week. It is the Riri Mac Lipstick in 'Riri Woo':




I love this lipstick so much! I know it's quite bright... but it is a gorgeous red and I absolutely love the packaging! I love the fact that it is matte... I tend to wear matte lipsticks rather than shiny. It came off very easily from my hand and lips leaving a barely even noticeable stain.


❤ ❤ ❤

The next lipstick is dark pink which I have been loving.... I've had it for a while now so I'm not sure if you can still get it or not... It is Urban Decay Lipstick in 'Jilted'.

I love the packaging, It has a little sword in the top which you open it by which is very sturdy and has never come out.



The pattern on the packaging is also very appealing, it had swirls, butterflies and even some skulls all in different shade of purple which look very pretty.





Altogether, Urban Decay did a really good job on designing this lipstick which is one of the reasons why I wear it so often, I wouldn't say it is very pigmented because it is a little sheer, it also has a bit of a sheen and has a good scent to it....




❤ ❤ ❤

This next lipstick is also another red.... but this one is the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick in 111 or 'Kiss of Life'. 

I already said about the Mac Riri red lipstick but I have so many different red lipsticks that are all very different that I love to wear. 
  

I've had this lipstick since about last year and I love to use it in the wintery/autumn seasons with a simple eye look. The packaging isn't as decorative and pretty as the ones above but it is still simple and stylish.
   
As you can see in my pictures, the red is a lot brighter than the Mac Riri lipstick which I had first mentioned. Although the lipstick is meant to matte, I feel that when I apply it is does have a slight sheen whereas the Mac Riri one is completely matte but... I don't mind because I still absolutely love the colour and still wear it.


❤ ❤ ❤

 This next lipstick is also another red lipstick by Rimmel Kate but it is a deeper purple red in 107:


This lipstick is probably one of my very favourite lipsticks of all time and I am so glad that I had brought this. Its a deep burgundy/ wine red and it looks gorgeous with simple eye makeup and a pretty pink blush.

As you can see below, the colour is VERY pigmented and has a slight hint of a pink colour in it which adds a nice feminine touch to it.


❤ ❤ ❤

This final lipstick is a very old one by Marks and Spencer. I know Marks and Spencer aren't really a makeup brand but I still love this lipstick made by them. I got it a very long time ago so I am not sure as to whether you can get it anymore but its one that I own and love and it is 15 or 'Copper Rose'.


Its a very pretty copper shimmery colour with a glittery sheen. The packaging is very sleek and looks very stylish, especially with the small gold band.


I don't normally like shimmery lipsticks but this one I do... its almost slightly metallic.



This swatch shows the lipstick a bit lighter than what it is on my lips because the lipstick is quite sheer so it shows the base through it a bit... when I have it on my lips, its a bit more of a darker brown colour because my lips are darker than the skin on my hand.
