My Payday Wish List..TopShop, H&M, Bobbi Brown, and L'oreal.



Ok..Maybe this is a little early and just a hint of wishful thinking, but I've compiled a wishlist of items that I may just have to purchase when payday finally shows it's face.
With Summer just around the corner, my wardrobe is in need of a quick Winter to Summer change-around..'soo long thick knit jumper, and hello shorts.' 
As you may or may not have gathered I'm quite the H&M fiend, my go-to shop..so naturally a few goodies feature from there! 

Here's the full list :

H&M
Jacquard Weave Skirt - Link
Jersey Jacket - Link
Sandles With Stones - Link
Topshop
Black Lazercut Shorts - Link
Striped Daisy Organza Tee - Link
Bobbi Brown 
SPF 15 Tinted Moisturiser Oil Free - Link
L'Oreal
Colour Riche Collection - Cheryl - Link


In the near future I'm also hoping to get myself a decent camera, I'm currently looking at a Nikon D3100. I'd love to know if you guys have any recommendations camera wise?

See ya soon,

Caught Out By Boots 3 for 2!

Last week whilst having a nose around town, I popped into Boots for an ever so innocent browse, as we all know too well these so called 'browsings' can very easily be turned into a full blown shop and with the extra lure of the '3for2' deal it was hook-line-and-sinker. Now I didn't go too overboard and actually came out with some goodies I've been eyeing up for a while now too - win! 


Revlon - Colourburst MatteBalm - Audacious 
Maybelline - Colossal Go Extreme
Sinful Colors - Easy Going
Clinique - Moisture Surge - Shade 4
Clinique - Anti-Blemish Solutions - Cleansing Foam
Clinique - Anti-Blemish Solutions - Clarifying Lotion

Sinful Colors is a new brand to me, and with the price of £1.99, I'd without a doubt say that they're a better deal for your money that Barry M. Although it does take an abnormally long time to dry, once it does it's staying put. After 5 days wear now - Not a chip in sight unlike Barry M which in my experience chips after a day if that, so 100% gonna have to explore their range a little further.  I've also been wanting to try the MatteBalm for ages now, its a rich coral colour that glides well onto the lip and is super moisturising, so I'm rather happy with that buy. 

Revlon MatteBalm - Audacious Swatch

I've also repurchased a couple of items from the Clinique Anti-Blemish range as written about a few posts ago, but I'll go into a full review of that in a upcoming post so keep a lookout! :)

My Small But Growing Lipstick Favourites...


I Really can't say that I'm the biggest user of lipsticks, and I often gravitate to a bit more of a 'gloss n' go' routine, but this doesn't mean I don't own and have favourites and of course, end up leaving boots without a billion swatches of lipsticks in shades I'm not near brave enough to try swatched up and down both arms...
As you can maybe see from the image about I'm a bit of a high end make-up fiend, I'm so attracted to the whole experience really, the lure of the beautiful  packaging, the counter ladies and their ever so perfect (but sometimes a little overdone) make-up, the multitude of choices, it really is a tailored-to-you shopping experience..A little sad for some, but for me I'd choose the experience of 'High-end' beauty shopping any day! 

And in no particular order - My favourites. 


Chanel -Rouge Allure - 217 Radieuse

This is one of those 'your lips but better' shades - very sheer giving a slight pink glow to the lips.

Mac - Pink Plaid - Matte

This is a lovely matte pink shade that is very build-able to create a more intense shade if that is the look that you're wanting to achieve. I prefer more of a subtle sweep of colour so with just one application it creates the perfect amount of pink for me!



Mac - Rebel - Satin

This was the outcome of my first ever Mac visit over 4 years ago, and I still love the it! As you can probably tell its a little different in comparison to the other lipsticks I own but this one is such a lovely shade. Again its very build-able and is my go to Winter lipstick.



Mac - Honeylove - Matte

I'm so in love with this shade, and looks so beautiful matched with a cream lipgloss. 

Clarins - 121 Rouge Prodige

My favourite red shade. it claims to be a long-lasting lipstick but I don't agree with the statement at all, it comes off like no ones business, I've had it on my teeth, clothes and even my leg!..I mean maybe that's a little harsh it is a great product that is semi-matte and has a lovely vanilla scent to it - I'm a sucker for sweet smelling lipsticks. 



What are you favourites? do you have any recommendations for me to try?


Until next time....
