My Christmas Wish List

Hi guys, 

I thought I would put together my Christmas Wish List today. I haven’t been lusting after many makeup items but I am all over home comforts this year such as bath products, skincare, pyjamas and candles. I have added a few beauty items too so don’t worry. This isn’t a huge expensive wish list, infact the majority of items are under £30 so there’s something for everyone, even if it’s little stocking fillers for that special someone in your life. 

Next Fitness Wishlist

Hi guys,

As we all know, January is the month of fitness and getting back on the diet after our overeating during the festive period and I know it’s cliché but I embrace it fully. I don’t know why, but I’ve always tried some new diet or tried a new fitness class in January and my body does thank me for it. Not that it lasts further than the first few days of February ha-ha, maybe that’s my downfall and why I am plus size! This year, I am trying out the Slim Fast plan to see how it fairs to the Cambridge Diet which I tried a few years ago so if you would like a SF vs CD post, let me know in the comments below. This isn’t a diet and fitness post, but after I received an email from Next showcasing their new fitness range and I decided to put together a wish list from their new additions.

Trainer Socks (£9)

Tech Vest in Monochrome (£10)

Tech Capri Pants (£14)

Studio T-shirt (£15)

Zipper Hoody (£20)

Grey Non Padded Sports Bra (£22)

Tech Full Leggings (£24)

Black Mesh Trainers (£36)

Are you a sucker for the whole New Year, New Me thing? Or are you more realistic and know you wont stick to a fitness plan? Or are you already in the best shape you can be and wouldn’t change a thing?

My Boohoo Wishlist

My Boohoo Wishlist

Hi my loves, 

Now you know I never venture into the fashion world but after checking out Boohoo`s latest offerings I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show you what I have been loving. I am not going to go into details on each item as they are pretty self-explanatory in their picture and the list is pretty extensive. So let’s get on with it shall we... 

My 30th Birthday Wishlist

Hi guys,

I don't know if you know this, but I am turning 30 on the 6th July so I wanted to put together a little wish list of the things I have been lusting over for the past couple of the months. Before I delve in, I know people might wonder if I am scared about turning the big 3-0 but to be honest I’m not. I did think I would be married by now with a kid or two but life never works that way does it. I am happy to be moving onto another chapter in my life where hopefully I will be finished with University, get married, buy a house and then have children. I feel as though I have done a lot in my 30 years on the planet, although I would like to have travelled more but other than that, I have a great partner in life, a great family and some amazing friends so turning 30 will hopefully include the same people and more exciting adventures ha! 

Please don’t think that I am being greedy by asking for everything on this list, I am merely putting together a wish list for some products that I love so if I got one or two things from it, I would be very happy with that. I wanted to start with something big as I want to have something that I can keep so I have added the See by Chloe Lizzie Long Flap Wallet (£155) and also Carat Mini Asscher Border Set Studs (£128) as need a new purse and who doesn't love jewellery!

As far as makeup products go, I could have anything and be happy but I am really loving Nars, Delilah, Charlotte Tilbury and Laura Mercier at the moment so I would adore anything from them including foundations, blushers, lipsticks etc. but I do have my eye on these particular products, Nars Tahiti Laguna Bronzing Powder (£39), Nars Audacious Lipstick in Natalie (£24), Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette (£45), Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk (£16), Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide in Ivory (£35), Becca Shimmering Skin Powder in Moonstone (£30),  Delilah Colour Gloss in Siren (£22) and Delilah Farewell Cream Concealer (£24).

The scents I have been totally loving recently are the Valentino Valentina Pink Eau De Parfum (£59) and Jo Malone`s Wood Sage and Sea Salt Cologne (from £42).

When it comes to skincare, I would love such products like Pixi Glow Tonic (£18), Alpha H Liquid Gold (£33.50) and the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm (£38).

Hopefully I get one or two products from this list and then have a nice night out with friends and family to celebrate. So far my family have booked a lovely seafood restaurant for both me and my sister who is turning 25 on the same weekend so that will be lovely. Then I think my friends have planned something the weekend after which should be fun. 

If your birthday has just passed or of its coming up soon, then HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me! I hope you get/got spoilt rotten and have/had an amazing day!

Update: I am in no way bragging but I thought I would let you know what I got. I was lucky enough to get a Marc Jacobs Purse very similar to the See by Chloe one pictured above and some Charlotte Tilbury goodies from Liam. My babe of a pal Siobhan got me the Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette and Nars Audacious Lipstick in Natalie. My mum bought me the Mini Asher Earrings along with a few bottles of my favourite, Chateauneuf Du Pape and an amazing custom made birthday cake. I was also gifted with a few bottles of champagne, perfume, flowers, clothes, bracelet, yankee candles and jewellery. I was a very spoiled girl this year. Thank you so much to everyone who wished me well on social media and obviously to all of my loved ones :) xx

Selfridges | Current Wish List

Hello guys,

I thought I would put together a wish list today as I have been lusting after some springtime releases that have made their way into Selfridges. As you know, Selfridges is one of my favourite stores and when I lived in London, I would save up for a while and then splurge in there with some friends. I love their sales as they don’t just take off a couple of £s, they deduct a substantial amount of money which can make all the difference. I have focused on items under £50 for this post though so they aren’t too crazy.

Estee Lauder - Pure Colour Stay on Shadow Paint in Chained (£20)

I haven’t really played about with shadow paints in the past as I have always been happy with primers and building up my shadows but as soon as I saw the colour range, I knew I wanted one.

Nars - Audacious Lipstick in Julie (£24)

I have been eyeing up Nars products for the longest time and as the audacious lipsticks haven't disappointed the millions of fans out there I had a look. As soon as I saw the shade Julie, I absolutely fell in love with it and thought it was the perfect spring time shade.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Balm (£25)

I love Charlotte Tilbury so it’s only natural that I would want to try this new lip balm from her ever expanding skincare range. I agree, it is a little more expensive that a normal lip balm, but I think this would be wonderful.

YSL Te Blue Primer (£29.50)

As soon as Sam Chapman spoke about this on her Instagram, I knew I would need it. This is a light-infused primer that smooths out pores and helps your make-up last longer. I do love my normal Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer but I want to give this a go as it’s a gel formula which leaves your skin looking illuminated.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Nectar (£32.50)

Who doesn't love a shimmer brick compact? I love the highlighter this gives off as well as a beautiful blush to your cheeks. 

Bobbi Brown - Cheek Palette in Calypso (£34)

Please tell me that this doesn’t scream Springtime to you, The colours are gorgeous. 

Tom Ford Lip Colour in Spanish Pink (£37)

Who doesn’t have Tom Ford on their wish list? I’ve had this guy on my mind since he first burst onto the scene with his delectable beauty range back in 2010. I bought my beautiful friend Siobhan one of his new mini lipsticks for her 30th birthday along with a few other items and I have to say, it made me want to try out some more of his range so what better than a lipstick in the beautiful shade Spanish Pink? 

Nars - Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette (£45)

I still haven’t bothered my back side trying any of the Nars products that I was lusting after recently but rather than buy one or two eyeshadows at £21 I thought I would be better buying this palette which is going into my shopping basket on pay day (hurry up!)

Well that’s all that’s in my wish list at the moment. I thought I done quite well with this as I didn’t go mad and pick over 20 items (this is quite easy for me) rather I picked all items under £50 which hopefully some of you are lusting after too.

What is in your current wish list?

Nars Cosmetics | Wish List

Hi guys,

I hope you are all having a great weekend. I have been so busy studying this week (as per usual) and also helping my mum change her living room colours from red to a gorgeous blue and cream which just looks so fresh and spring appropriate (I know it’s still Winter). We decided to go out and buy wallpaper which slowly turned into a buying frenzy and now she has a brand new decorated living room which my sisters, mum and I done without the help of any men. Big up Girl Power! The wallpaper stayed put, the paint didn’t go everywhere and I even managed to spray all the black frames a gorgeous silver shade. When Liam and my sister boyfriend came into it, they were both shocked and impressed. Always a good sign when men are impressed.

I have always loved Nars products and used to loiter around the makeup counter in House of Fraser in my hairdressing day but I never purchased more than the cult favourite Turkish Delight Lip Gloss (£19) or the Laguna Bronzer (£27) but I have decided 2015, ten years after my loitering days, that I will pick up a few products.

Everyone raves about the blushers so I want to try Super Orgasm (£22.50), which is a peachy pink shade with gold glitter running through it, I think this would suit my fair complexion really well to add a nice glow to the apples of my cheeks.  I also want to try some of their foundations including Sheer Glow (£31) and All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation (£32). Obviously I need to be colour matched as I have no idea what shade I would be.

Everyone has been praising the Audacious Lipsticks (£24) recently so I know I need one or three in my collection immediately. They have over 40 shades to choose from but four have stood out to which are  Greta (wild azalea), Fanny (rich berry), Brigitte (nude rose) and Rita (scarlett red). These lipsticks are supposed to be full coverage, creamy and long lasting so sign me up! Another lip product I have been eyeing up is the Satin Lip Pencils (£18) and after checking out all of the 20 shades I picked 2 that I instantly fell in love with, the first is Yu (shocking pink) and the other is Biscayne Park (pink guava). These are super pigmented and long lasting which can be used as a lip liner and also a full lip colour to give the most amazing high impact intense shade. 

The Radiant Creamy Concealer (£22) is a massive talking point amongst us beauty bloggers and I have no idea why I haven’t tried this before but I am ready to jump aboard and get my hands on one. They come in 10 different shades so there should be something for everyone within this range. 

My final wish list item is the Dual Intensity Eyeshadows (£21) in shades Desdemona (rich shimmering burgundy) and Himalia (shimmering topaz) they have 12 different shades to suit everyone’s colour preference. I have swatched them before at a Nars counter stand and let me tell you, they were impressive! These can be used dry or wet for a more intense look so I am excited to finally pick up one sometime this year. 

Have you tried any of these products?

My Current Wish List

My Current Wish List

Hi guys,

I have been lusting after way too many items at the moment and I thought I would share them with you. I really like wish list post but I especially love when they become part of a haul post as it shows you have worked hard to buy something you wanted rather than get it as a present. That’s my feelings anyway.

The first thing I have been eyeing up is the Frends Layla Leather and Rose Gold Headphones (£130). How stunning do they look?? I love the white leather and rose gold detail to them, I feel it makes them look classier. I always use my iPhone earbuds and I hate them because they either hurt or fall out completely so I want a proper set of headphones that I can enjoy in the gym when I am working out. I really just want them as they are beautiful ha-ha.

I also love the Marc by Marc Jacobs Gold Tone Earrings as I am really into black and gold jewellery at the minute. There’s not much to say about these little gems other than I like em.

Anastasia Beverly Hills have made a huge impact in the beauty industry and I am no stranger to the numerous blog posts and reviews out there so I had a little gander on their website and the Dipbrow Pomade really caught my attention. Brows are really in and I am all over it, I love how a beautiful shaped brow can transform a makeup look from ok to amazing.

I spotted the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in The Vintage Vamp (£38) online quite a while ago and thought it looked absolutely beautiful. I love the colours and I don’t really own any purple shades so I will keep my fingers crossed that I can pick this up soon.

Everyone and their granny have been talking about Whitening Lightening Color Your Smile Lip-glosses in Buttercream and Nude (£39 for 2) in the world of YouTube so I thought I would have a look and see what all the fuss was about. How beautiful do they look! 

I only heard of the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Captivating (£26) because Essie Button and Casey Holmes rave about it so much but it does look pretty. I think I will do a Sephora haul later in the year now that they deliver to the UK now... yayyy!
