Home Improvements.

Recently I've been dreaming about making loads of changes to our rented house. We've lived here now for 18months and I'm only just beginning to feel like this is somewhere we'll be staying for a while. I'm a proper home bird and the thought of moving house regularly frightens the life out of me. I feel that it's time to invest a little bit of time and money (what little I can spare!) on our hut. I've got a few spare days off this week so I'm spending it with my fella giving our home a good old sorting out. I mostly want to sort out our bedroom and the spare bedroom because I've decided I don't like the layout of the furniture lol. 

Naturally this has led to me browsing the interwebs for lovely housey things to buy. Ideally, I'd like to paint our bathroom and maybe the chimney wall in the front room but we're holding off on the painting for now. I've always wanted to own some taxidermy items and regularly bid on moths etc to display but they go way beyond my maximum bids. This has led me to search for faux taxidermy and I am officially obsessed. The thought of gaudy, pastel coloured acrylic faux animal heads may fill most with vomit but fills me with excitement! I'm dipping my toe in because I don't want to be bankrupt but I've already purchased a cat item and a rabbit wall mount. Etsy is the place to go my friends- there's literally thousands of faux taxidermy items out there for grabs! My only sadness is that most sellers are in the USA and either don't ship to England or the shipping fees are astronomical! I'm also thinking of buying lots of TV and film posters to put in our front bedroom. I've found loads of minimalist style posters which I've fallen in love with! I've put together some collections of items that I like. Let me know what you think below! Thanks for stopping by x

I don't own any of these images- all items are available from sellers on etsy.com 

Payday Wishlist.

Oh Payday, you cannot come soon enough! I say this is a Payday Wishlist, but really it's more "what I would buy if I could spend money on myself" list! My better half is still out of work so I'm holding down the fort financially but it's still nice to dream! So what am I lusting after at the moment...

Helen Moore Vixen Scarf- at £68, it's not a cheap treat, but I think it's the kind of piece I'd have in my wardrobe for a long time. It comes in loads of colours but I particularly love the powder blue and the baby pink- both are perfect for SS14.

MAC Lipstick in Pink Plaid- I tried this on last time I went shopping with Dany we but they'd sold out- I was gutted! It looks like a stunning matte pink that I could wear everyday and it's not too pale. 

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Matte- I've read about this in the blogosphere and I want.want.want. It's supposed to be a matte light base which sounds right up my street!

Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Violet- this simply looks divine, especially in this lilac shade!at £19, it's pretty expensive for a lippie but I think it might be worth it because it's such an unusual product.

So there's my Wishlist! Let me know what you're lusting after this month- thanks for stopping by x

Pay Day Wishlist.

Oh how I cannot wait for pay day! I've been loving buying housey bits and bobs, much to my boyfriend's displeasure! I always forget about Dunelm Mill but I think I'm going to have to make a trip there after pay day because some of their collections are stunning! 

Too Faced Chocolate Bar (£45)- I don't need this and I'm going to try my hardest not to succumb but I really like it! It's super expensive but I imagine you get what you pay for.

Topshop Lip Varnish in High Impact (£9)- oh my, this purple lip varnish is gorgeous! I think I might treat myself to this because it looks super unique.

MAC Blotting Powder in Light (£20)- I've badly hit pan on my beloved MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and want to replace it but I'm tempted by their Blotting Powder. 

Topshop Gingham Check Scarf (£18)- I'm not really a scarf wearer to be honest, my mum on the other hand has a scarf to match every outfit she owns! I think this will be a nice transitional piece and will go with loads of my new clothes.

NYX Love In Paris in Be Our Guest Maurice (£10)- after loving this palette in shade Let Them Eat Cake, I fancy trying it in this other shade option. It's the most beautiful range of purple shades and I think it's really good value for money. 

Topshop Gingham Mid Calf Skirt (£48)- oh I love this. I need this. I want this. This has got my name written all over it. WANT. 

Dunelm Mill Candy Rose Soap Dish (£1.99)- this is super cute and really inexpensive. I don't use soap, I much prefer shower creams or gels but my boyfriend uses soap so I thought this would be a nice addition to our bathroom.

Dunelm Mill Vintage Style Post Rack (£9.99)- love love love. I think this would look stunning mounted on the wall in our living room. We don't have a hallway but I'd love to store our post in here.

I hope you're all OK, let me know what you're lusting after in the run up to pay day! Thanks for stopping by x

Boots Wishlist.

[images from Google]

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush (£9.99); Soap & Glory Fab Pore Face Mask (£8); No7 Cleansing Brush Heads (£8); Soap & Glory Clear Here Moisturiser (£9); No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation (£12.50) from Boots. 

I'm one of those people who gets jealous of other blogger's Boots hauls- bursting with skincare, beauty and makeup products. However, if I actually collected all the bits and bobs I get from Boots over a month or two, I'd probably have the same large haul as others. These are the items currently sitting in my basket on the Boots website. I love Real Techniques brushes sososo much- they're super soft, great quality and wash really well. Unfortunately, my Buffing Brush is looking a bit worse for wear so I think it's time for a new foundation brush. The Expert Face Brush looks like a great alternative, saving me having to buy the whole Core Collection all over again just for a new Buffing Brush. 

After falling inlove with the S&G No Clogs Allowed Face Mask, I've become intrigued by S&G's skincare collection. I've always thought that the products are mostly aimed at anti-ageing but I've found some great products for oily skinned ladies like myself. The Fab Pore Peel-Off Mask looks like a really good intensive treatment product- hopefully it'll sort out my clogged pores and blemish-prone skin. The S&G Clear Here Moisture Daily Lotion claims to combat shine, keep the skin clear and smooth, as well as shrinking visible pore size. 

I've been loving using my No7 Cleansing Brush (I reallllyyyy need to do an update post on this)but the brush head is getting a bit tired and out-of-shape so I think it's time to get some new ones. You can buy a pack of two for £8 which I think is a bargain. Finally, I have about a fifth of my No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation left and I love wearing it because it's super matte, gives great coverage and stays put all day long. I really need to get myself a new bottle! If I got this exact haul I'd get 'buy 1 get 1 1/2 price' on S&G- so I'd save £4 on the mask, and 3for2 on the other items with the cleansing brush heads being free! So I'd save a total of £12 which is ace. I've also got a few vouchers so I'd get loads of lovely Advantage Cards points as an added bonus. What's in your wishlist?

Dorothy Perkins Wishlist.

Dress; Cardigan; Bag; Necklace; Shoes.

Dorothy Perkins is a shop that I don't usually buy anything from- for no particular reason other than I rarely find anything I like in there. I've been browsing about online, as always, and found some really nice items on their website. I love this spotty pink dress- they've actually got 20% off dresses atm, I'm not sure if that's just online or it's also in stores. I love the contrast waist and faux collar and the shape looks perfect for hiding all my lumps and bumps without looking like a tent! 

This cardigan looks so soft and fluffy, I usually wear cardigans with dresses but sometimes black just isn't girly enough so this cardigan would be a good alternative. I love this bag, I've never seen anything like it! It's got on-trend scalloped edges and rose gold trimmings. Big statement jewel necklaces are all the rage this season but I've not found myself one yet that I like that's not too blingy or neon. Finally, these shoes- they look super comfy with the thick sole but they still look super cute with the big bow and the nude colour. What are you loving from Dotty P's atm?

MAC Wishlist.

[images from Google]

I'm always lusting after high-end makeup, but no brand more so than MAC. I know with my experience of using MAC products that I can afford to take risks with colours and try new products as they'll be high quality. I also like how you can try out the products in store, albeit if you can get past the horrendous attitude of some MAC makeup artists. 

MAC have recently launched the Mineralize Rich lipstick range with a '77-mineral moisture complex' that hydrates and moisturises the lips. I actually fancy a few of the shades but Luxe Naturale has definitely caught my eye. I have really dry lips during the colder months (so most of the year in the UK) so a hydrating formula with the quality of MAC can only mean good things. I've developed and online obsession with cream blushers recently- I only own one Topshop one but I really want to get my hands on some more wearable shades. MAC seem to sell a really pretty range of cream blushes and I'm loving the look of Posey. My chum bought Chatterbox recently and I will admit that I got well jealous because it looked stunning! Alas, it will be mine one day. 

The final two products on my (narrowed down) wishlist are two brow products. Now the darker shades seem to be sold out across the board online but I imagine they'll be available in some stores still. I'm loving the idea of a brow gel- this might solve all my brow problems! Of course, I'd love to add most of the Baking Beauties products to my wishlist! As always with high-end products, it'll take me a long while to get my mitts on all these products- but I sure reckon it'll be worth the wait! What's on your MAC wishlist?

Payday Wishlist.

1. Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher; 2. Tony Moly Cats Wink Mascara; 3. Maybelline Colour Sensational Vivid Lipstick; 4. Etude House Princess Etionette Highlighter; 5. Holika Holika Petit Clearing BB Cream; 6. Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick. 

Yes, it's another wishlist guys! I've actually spent a fair amount on makeup this month (yes, the 100day challenge went out of the window) so I've decided to hold back on these guys until after payday. I've been lusting after some Asian makeup brands recently so I've trawled ebay to find some to call my own. I'm loving the look of this Etude House blusher, the problem is, I can't decide which shade I want most! I really like the look of #2 Strawberry Chou (that rhymes). All I can say about this Tony Moly mascara is holy cat! I love the packaging and aside from that, it's actually meant to be a good mascara.

I'm currently awaiting the delivery of my US imports of the Maybelline Color Whisper lipsticks which are meant to be the Maybelline equivalent of Lip Butters. However, on the other end of the scale, Maybelline have just launched (in the UK) their Colour Sensational Vivid lipsticks and me oh my they look good! I'm particularly loving the look of Shocking Coral, check out the lovely Sunday Girl's post for swatches. I lovelove the packaging of this Etude House highlighter- what girl wouldn't feel like a princess with this on her dressing table?! However, I do think that £16+ is a bit excessive for a highlighter that I don't actually need. I've heard so many good things about Asian BB Creams and this Holika Holika one has a cat on the tube so I'm sold! Finally, I'd love to get my hands on some of the new Bourjois Rouge Edition lipsticks, especially shades 02, 03 and 11. What's on your payday wishlist? 

Spending Ban Wishlist.

MUA Matte Effect Foundation; MUA Cover & Conceal; MUA Pro-Base Setting Mist; Topshop Lip Crayon in Wave Goodbye; Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Sticks in Bulletproof Beige and Guilty Grey; e.l.f Mineral Eyeshadow in What's Your Name; Benefit Smokin' Eyes Palette; MAC Lipstick in Plumful; Dr Lipp Nipple Balm; MAC Lipstick in Shy Girl; Benefit They're Real Mascara; Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel.

This week I've been lusting after yet more makeup. MUA have launched some new products that I'm interested in- especially the makeup setting spray as I've ran out of all my Collection 2000 spray. I'm liking the look of the Natural shade of their concealer and foundation, plus I'm always on the search for matte foundations. I'm also intrigued to see the quality of their liquid/cream concealer to compare with my beloved Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I'm a big fan of Topshop lipsticks but I've heard their Lip Crayons can be quite chalky and drying. However, I've read reviews that this one has quite a glossy finish so I'd like to try it out please. I've seen images of the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Sticks but I've got no idea when they're out. I love the idea of a quick smudge of a pencil then you're eyes are done. I love the colour of this e.l.f eyeshadow and I love their cheap and cheerful products.

I'm a big QVC fan and I watched their Benefit show this week, let me tell you it was torture! I don't know why I put myself through it! I instantly fell inlove with this smokey eye kit- it's got eyeshadows, brow gel, mini eyeliner and tiny tweezers! Plus QVC sell it with a full size nude Benefit lip gloss which just completes the look really. I also saw their They're Real mascara which I've read rave reviews about so I'd like to see what all the fuss is about for myself tbh! MAC lipstick in Plumful-what can I say about this other than get in my makeup bag!!! I'm still searching for the ultimate nude lipstick (well, I've found it but it's only available in Americi) so I'd love to try MAC Shy Girl. I know the name's weird but this seems to be a cult lip product and I need all the help I can get in that department in these cold times. Finally, it's the Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel- I got a sample in my She Said Beauty Box and since then have dreamt of a time when I can justify buying it for myself. Alas, you'll all have to wait another 80-odd days for me my friends. 

Please link me to any of your wishlists!

100 Day Challenge: Week 1 Update.

Hello there lovely ladies. So, I'm one week in to my 100 Day Challenge (only 7days?!) and I'm already lusting after a million and one things that I simply cannot have. Now I'm not going to lie, I knew the lusting would start soon but what I am thus far pleased with, is that I haven't given into any temptations. I know I'm already making progress because I've been avoiding the makeup and clothes aisles during my weekly food shop to minimise risk! I wanted to pre-order a music DVD the other day but my boyfriend said "you can't buy that, you're on a ban!" which is good cause he definitely stopped me from buying it- my card was poised in my mitts! I've made a wishlist below of what I'm lusting after thus far. I imagine clothes and bags will become more involved when the new season's clothes come out and/or the sales end.

1. Urban Decay NAKED Nails

2. Soap & Glory The Fab Pore Mask

3. Look Beauty Fresh Cheeks Cream Blusher

4. e.l.f HD Blush

5. Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick

6. Rimmel Apocolips Glosses

Let me know how you're doing on the 100 Day Challenge if you're taking part! You can read my rules and why I'm taking part here and find links to some other ladies who are involved. Good luck!

This Time Next Year...

 

 Christmas Pudding Wrapping Paper; Ribbon Set; Artificial Christmas Tree; Bauble Wreath; Snowflake Bowl; Tarten Heart Decoration; Wooden Heart Decoration; Festive Doormat; Wooden Reindeer Head Decoration; White Baubles Set.

As me and my boyfriend will have just missed Christmas when we move into our house, I've decided to put a bit of money aside for January sales Christmas homewear bargains for next year (eager, I know). I'm no stranger to a January Christmas bargain as I normally buy my Christmas cards, wrapping paper and some gifts in the sales. However, this year I'm going to take it to a new level and keep my peepers peeled for baubles, decorations and, most of all, a lovely tree. As much as I love a real tree, they can get pretty expensive and make a real mess so I'd like to get a bargain artificial tree that we can use for years to come. 

I like mixed up baubles rather than a 'themed tree' look but I love this white set from B&Q and think it'd be a great starter set for a tree. I love the whole vintage, home-made look for a Christmas tree as it makes it look more personal rather than you've just bought it ready made from M&S. I've had my eye on this bowl from Matalan and they have another one made of red reindeer- I just think they'd look lovely in the middle of the table with sweets in! I do love a real wreath- you know, with berries on and stuff- but I am liking the look of this bauble one from B&Q. How sweet is this doormat?! I love the little toys and trees on it! I sure hope some of these go down to bargain prices in the January sales so I can be all ready for next Christmas.What do you like to get in the January sales?

Marry Me.

Dress (£48); Hat (£25); Shoes (£75); Earrings (£15); Lipstick in Macaroon (£8) all from Topshop.

Apologies for a lack of posts this week- I've just started my new job so I've been training away all week like a lil worker bee. I'm going to try and get back on it asap but I'm afraid I have little in the way of new products atm so I may have to get creative! 

Sorry if you don't like wishlist compilation posts but I've not got any money to spend on anything other than Christmas presents and petrol atm, so I'm lusting after pretty much everything these days. Just look at this dress- oh it's so pretty! I think this would be stunning in both winter and summer as it's got that Victorian elven princess look to it. I love the embroidery detail on this dress too- should I stop talking about the dress now? Pretty much everything apart from the lipstick here is massively over priced but it's Topshop and that's just what they do.

I lovelovelove these boots. I want them so bad! I think they'd go with everything all year round everyday all the time- is that justification enough?! I really like these earrings as I think they're modern meets vintage with the perspex and pearl combo. But I think these would be pretty easy to replicate DIY tbh. I'm inlove with this lipstick in Macaroon, not only is the name ace but the colour is stunning. I love the formulation of Topshop lipsticks, I've also found one in shade Depth that I really want to get my hands on. But, alas, they will not be mine. Hope y'all are having a nice weekend full of Christmasy joy!

Housey Wishlist.

Set of 12 Mini Loaf Baking Cases (£2.95); Set of 4 Sweetheart Medium Storage Jars (£23.95); Vintage White Box Wall Shelf (£59.95); Parisienne Jewellery Drawer (£17.95); Daisy Chain Heart Decoration (£1.95); Red Gingham Jewellery Box (£4.95); Glass Apothecary Perfume Bottle (£9.95); First Aid Tin (£2.95) all from dotcomgiftshop.  

Ok, apologise for the relentless wishlist-making but it's Christmas time and I'm skint- a girl's gotta dream. Whilst browsing some blogs the other day I came across dotcomgiftshop which I've personally never heard of before. I soon found a million and one things that I wanted to buy for the house and decided to compile a compressed wishlist post for y'all to share in the lusting. One thing I will say is that the prices seem to vary massively from the mega bargains to products that don't seem to be worth as much as they're priced for. For example, I've actually seen this spice rack set in a shop for £9 and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get it because clearly that's hyper marked down.

I think this Box Wall Shelf would be so nice for displaying jewellery in- can you tell I'm into the whole shabby chic thing? I lovelovelove this Parisienne Jewellery Drawer, I think it's super dainty and love the lace trimming on the lid. This First Aid Tin would be great for keeping plasters and so on inside and it's a super bargain for under £3!! I've developed a bit of a thing for jars and bottles as I think they look so pretty- empty or full- but I haven't allowed myself to indulge in buying every bottle I see as I think my boyfriend would be super annoyed! As he would say, all these things are 'trinkets' and their unnecessary but I think they're lovely and would make our house look so homely.

Boredom.

Dress (£46 from Topshop); Box Bag (£19.99 from H&M); Faux Leather Studded Jacket (£65 from River Island); Boots (£41.24 from New Look); Owl Scarf (£28 from Topshop); Nail Varnish in Hope Floats (£6 from Topshop).

Boredom leads to internet trawling, leads to clothes websites, leads to wishlists, leads to this kind of post. This isn't intended to be an outfit but I've inadvertently seem to have created one. The wintery wind that's been a blowing has made me want to wrap up all snugly but I'd much rather be wearing pretty dresses and leather jackets to tell you the truth. I miss my leather jacket in the winter because it's got 3/4 sleeves so I tend not to wear it much when it's super cold. I'm loving this River Island jacket and I think it's a fair price at £65. I tried on these boots in New Look, which I think are real leather, and they've since gone down in price which is tempting. This dress may be boring to most but to me, it's stunning. Lovelovelove. I want this handbag mega loads real bad so if anyone wants to buy it me, well that would be just great. I don't think I need to say anything about this scarf other than owls + pink pompoms. Finally, another glitter nail varnish that I.do.not.need but clearly like. 

Alas, I fear that these items will remain out of reach as I'm skint but I think we're going to put an application in for a house which is super exciting so I guess dresses and shoes can wait...maybe.

Topshop Wishlist.

Playsuit (£40); Floral Dress (£26); Stud Checked Shirt (£34); T-shirt Dress (£16); Cross Embellished Slippers (£28); Chain Drape Brooch (£10); ACTOR Boots (£95); Bracelet (£15) all from Topshop. 

Oh wow, Topshop you've done it again. Here I was, casually browsing about the website and saw a million and one things that I loved! Winter trends are obviously the ones for me- it's all the checks, rich colours and textures. I love this cute playsuit! I think it'd look great with a shirt underneath or a cute grey flecked slouchy t-shirt. I'm not sure whether it would suit me or not but I'd sure love to give it a try. Oh the shoes- these boots are wayyyyyy too expensive but look at how nice they are! I reckon these would be super comfortable to walk in and they look real fierce. I've deffo got my eye on this t-shirt dress- they come in all different colours but I particularly like this blood red version. They're just super easy to wear and dead comfy. I think this floral dress is a great way to pull off winter florals. What's on your current wishlist?

Topshop Makeup Wishlist.

 

All from Topshop. 

Oh Topshop, look at your sparkly nail varnish! I want all three of these spangley bad boys- I love the metallic effect of Plume and it looks just like how I imagined the ever disapointing MaxFactor Fantasy Fire nail varnish to be. Bowl Me Over looks like it's made up of just about every colour I love in glittery particle form. I love the star particles in Rising Star- I'd love to try all these varnishes out tbh!! This palette caught my eye instantly- it looks just like the Kat Von D palette in Beethoven, which I have and love. I doubt this one would be as good qulaity as Kat's but it looks like a great alternative for us Brits who can't get hold of her Sephora collection. What are your Topshop makeup lusts or favourites?

Wishlist End.

1. Benefit How To Look the Best at Everything in Light; 2. Apron from H&M; Owl Bath Mat from H&M; Dress from Topshop; Ring from Topshop. [these are not my images, they are from the respective websites of each brand]

I cannot believe that the last Wishlist post that I did was in June! Tbh, I've not been lusting after much other than stuff I'll probs never buy (i.e mega expensive makeup) and I've just been picking up bits and bobs when I've seen them. This Benefit kit has recently been released and my gosh it looks stunning! I'm thinking about telling my man that it's top of my Christmas wishlist hehe. Me and my boyfriend are looking at moving out together now that I've got a job so I'm loving looking out for super cute housey things- all the non-essentials of course but who needs a bed when you've got this super cute apron and bath mat from H&M?! I love this Topshop dress, it's a similar fabric to my Primark skater dress but the long sleeves on this one makes it look super cosy. I'm loving the look of this ring- the mix of gothic black and super smooth pearls is my kind of thing! 

I've also been lusting after pretty much every item from my Passion For Fashion post. I tried on the beloved tarten/leather/fur coat from my Casual look and fell inlove (as anticipated) so I'm deciding whether to get it or not because it's pretty expensive, but my chum says I have to get it and she's in charge haha. I'll let you know whether I do get it or not. I'm planning on doing a collective haul this week, a long with a million other posts because my dad's back from holiday with the camera so I can start taking photos again yayyyy! Phone photos just aren't the same. I've got loads of products I've wanted to start using but had to restrain myself because I need to photograph them first. Moan over, hope you're enjoying your Sunday!

Wishlist update: I actually got quite a lot from my last wishlist which is quite surprising! I bought that exact trio of socks from Topshop and I love wearing them with my creepers. The Lush Volcano Foot Mask has fast become a pampering staple of mine that I've repurchased once. I got the beautiful Snow White & the Huntsman palette for my birthday which I'll be using a lot more of as the colours are perfect for winter. 

Please send me any links to your latest wishlists- I love having a nosy! 

Wishlist End.

Diego Dalla Palma Snow White & The Huntsman Makeup Palette; Topshop pastel lace trim socks (3 for £8); Lush Volcano Foot Mask; Topshop cross dress; Topshop pink studded loafers; Topshop mermaid belt; Urban Decay The Black Palette.

Soooooooo I've not done a wishlist for a while because I'm not really liking the clothes in stores this season (as usual with SS collections) so I've just been buying bits of makeup at I go along. There wasn't much I was lusting after apart from Real Techniques Brushes and No7 Cleansing Water (which is have FINALLY got my hands on). Right now, I'm wanting to get my hands on this Snow White and the Huntsman palette real bad but I dunno if I can justify spending £25 on a brand I've never used before! The reviews are looking promising and the colours look devine- I also canne wait to see the film itself! I wish it was sold in Boots cause I've got barrrreeeeeeee points saved up but alas it's from supermarket mega giants Tesco (am I the only one who thinks that's a bit weird?!). I'm getting into my eyeshadow atm and the Urban Decay Black Palette looks right up me street- some of the colours seem similar to those in the Kat Von D palettes but she won't sell them over here so what can I do? The shades are all really dark (the clue is in the title) and are my kind of shadow shades! I don't think this is available in stores anymore but there's a few floating about on ebay so I might take the plunge.

I've finally bought some creepers (hooray)- after looking, bidding and failing on ebay, I decided to wait for a bit and see whats what. Then Look magazine had a 25% off Daisy Street Shoes code and I knew this was my chance! I decided on the black with dalmatian top ones- if I love them I'll probs buy some plain black ones, or maybe even pink ones! I'm kinda glad I bought them from a real shop in the end because I'm in-between sizes so if they're not right I can send them back with ease. ANYWAY the point of this speil is that I'd like some lil cute lacey socks to wear with them and these Topshop ones are real nice and I think a good price.

I live for wearing summery shoes but man the elements and socklessness ruin my feet! OK, so it's partly my fault because I do neglect my feet more in the summer but this Lush Volcano Foot Mask might just be the quick-job remedy that I'm looking for. As always, I'll consult the lovely staff in store and see what they say about it. I'm a big fan of crosses in general but this cross dress looks lovely- I love the swingy shape of the skirt at the bottom. I practically live in my black sutdded Topshop loafers (although in this heat I'm repping the Primark £1 flippy-floppies) so it only makes sense really that I check out these pink bad boys. I really like this crazy irridescent mermaind pink belt- I just think it'd look super nice with loads of my clothes. I can pretty much guess that the only things I'll actually end up getting from this wishlist are the Topshop socks!

Wishlist update: From my last wishlist, I've only bought some L'oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks which I love! My boyfriend's mum bought The Big Bang Theory boxset because she loves it too so we've all been watchign that together. I'm saving up my Boots Advantage Card points for the Real Techniques brushes- I think I'll start with the core collection and move on to the starter kit because I'm really getting into my eye makeup atm. I'm still umming-and-arring about getting a Glossy Box subscription- I dunno if I'd use all the products and I feel liek I have loads of stuff as it is. I've not bought any new Look Beauty makeup- I've been too focused on my Topshop, Bourjois and Maybelline purchases! Is there anything you want real bad atm?

p.s Images are from Google Image; Topshop products are from www.topshop.com and the Lush product images are from www.lush.co.uk

Wishlist End.

Simple Toner; Look Beauty Make Me Blush; Look Beauty Lip Slick; Real Techniques Core Collection; L'oreal Rouge Caresse; The Big Bang Theory boxset; Glossybox subscription.

I've given up hope that the No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water will ever return. I've been looking around for toners but don't know where to turn to! I don't want anything mega expensive but I want something good and that works. I've been reading about this Simple one which seems good so I'll take a look at that. HOORAY! Look Beauty now have an online shop! I can't wait to buy it all haha. I know I'm pretty lucky as it's available in a few Superdrug stores near me but that in itself is a curse because everything sells out dead fast. They're gonna make shed loads of money on this website! I well wanna try out one of their blushers after loving their Loud Lips lipstick and Lip Slick gloss. I like the look of this super pink lip gloss- very summery.

OK, so I'm close to caving. I know I just got some new Avon brushes but I so wanna get some of these Real Techniques brushes- and the core collection seems to be where its at. I've decided that you can never have too many makeup brushes haha! I'm torn between the Revlon lip butter and L'oreal rouge caresse camps but I think the L'oreal colour choices seem nicer. I dunno, I'll probs end up with the Revlon one knowing me! But both are never in stock anywhere I go. I just think they'll be dead nice for my dry lips.

Ahhh the Big Bang Theory. Ahhhhh TV repeats. I never know whether I'm coming or going! So me and my boyfriend (and his mum!) have decided to invest in the mega box set. I bought my boyfriend loads of box sets for his Birthday in March but we've watched them all already! I got Cracker, Eastbound and Down and The Walking Dead. I know Game of Thrones is back but there's nothing like working your way through a boxset one weekend...maybe that's our problem! Finally Glossybox. You've been playing on my mind little box. I know the world and his wife subscribe to beauty boxes but I want in man! I was weighing up whether its worth it or not regarding whether I'd actually use the products but I've come to the conclusion that I would and will! I just don't like missing out and my friend gets it and said its really good so I just need to get involved.

Wishlist Update: I'm not gonna lie, I've only bought one thing from my last wishlist and it was the final Hunger Games trilogy book, Mockingjay for my Kindle. I am aware that I did my last wishlist quite recently but I just can't justify buying MAC lipsticks alt time. Obvs the No7 Cleansing Water is still away in some lab for some reason but I'm in desperate need of a toner. I haven't bought any new CDs because I suck and need to sort myself out. But makeup's just so shiny and pretty! I also desperately need to sort out saving up for my holiday spending money and after that for a new tattoo, they don't come cheap + I need travel funds to go to out London town to get it!
