With eyes shut, it's you I'm thinking of.

I don't know if I should apologise or hide my face in shame at my lack of blogging.
It's not that I haven't wanted to; believe me, I have! I suppose I've just been lacking in motivation/inspiration/time/energy. Poor excuses, I know.
Can we just ignore this break in our relationship and continue as though no time has passed?!

Tonight, I have found the motivation to blog (hooozarrr) but made very little preparation for doing so. This leaves me with no other option but to make a wish list, which is great when it's probably my favourite thing to do! With summer on it's way (I have faith in you- England,) it's the time of year in which my wardrobe needs a serious overhaul.

Even though I'm poor at blogging, I still update these places pretty regularly!

Why would you wake me if you're not gonna save me?

Hi Lovelies!!

I started this wishlist off a few days ago, after spending a couple of weeks with no money and pay day on the horizon, my mind was in full blown 'I WANT TO SHOP' mode. Payday has been and gone, and so far I have been well behaved- and I really am going to try and keep it that way. These are still things that I really want, so I may treat myself to one or two things.

Real Techniques Core Collection Kit

I feel like I'm missing out by not owning these brushes, are they really worth the hype?

Sleek Shimmer Blush Rose Gold

I LOVE the look of this blusher, and I'm a fan of Sleek Make up. I intend to visit a Superdrug tomorrow so I really hope they have this in stock!

Soap & Glory 'One Heck of a Blot'

It's not that I struggle to find a powder that I like, to be honest I'm neither here nor there about it, but I love the look of this and I'm really struggling to find it in stores...and that makes me want it even more.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter 'Sweet Tart'

You've probably seen me rave about the lip butters, so of course I want to add this beautiful colour to the collection!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 'Romantic'

Ditto for above, I love the balm stains- I can't resist trying out another one!

Macadamia Natural Oil Canteen Set

I love the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque, so the chance to try these products out would be amazing. I'm on a bit of a 'hair health' kick as I've recently gone from red/orange to a very light blonde (aiming for platinum!) My hair has coped surprisingly well with this transition, but I feel like it deserves a reward for being so strong!

Milk_Shake Integrity Intensive Treatment

I love the milk_shake products, I use the glistening serum daily and I was addicted to the leave in conditioner for a long time. I really want to test this out and see if it lives up to my expectations. 

Origins 'Out Of Trouble' Facial Mask

This sounds perfect for my skin, and I definitely intend to get this. My skin generally has a couple of weeks of being well behaved, and then it throws a hormonal tantrum and there's nothing I can do to defeat it! I really hope this is the magic mask I've been searching for. 

La Riche Directions Hair Dye

Alongside aiming for platinum hair, I also want to have some pastel colours thrown in there at some point. I'm not sure when this will happen, but I've always been one for coloured hair and I don't think that's going to change any time soon!

This is only the hair and beauty section of my wishlist...apparently I'm feeling incredibly needy. Expect the second half soon, and a haul post is bound sure to happen!

Make up Wish List

Hi lovelies, 

I'm back, finally, with a beauty related post! I feel like all I ever do is apologise for my sporadic posting, I have a lot going on at the moment so my attention is being sucked up by other matters; that sounds slightly ominous and I'll share a bit more about this in the near future. For now, I just wanted to share the beauty items I've been lusting over. 

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation-

Usually I prefer foundations with a high coverage, but I want to get into the habit of wearing a lighter foundation and using concealer to cover blemishes. I just feel that this might help improve my skin, and to be honest, I'm not a really a fan of the heavy foundation look anyway. 

Revlon Colorburst lip butter in 'Tutti Frutti'

The world outside of my bedroom may be covered in snow right now, but my head has thrown itself into spring/summer and I'm all for trying out the coral look. This lip butter seems to be quite sheer, so for someone who is usually a red, purple or pink lipstick fan, going for coral in this form doesn't feel quite so intimidating.  

Sleek MakeUp Ultra Mattes Palettes Bright-

I'm not sure what's happening to me, but I'm seriously drawn to these vibrant colours and if my 'au naturel' palette is anything to go by, Sleek eyeshadows are so good! I really want to experiment with these eyeshadows, and I think my attraction to these colours is a sign that my body is so ready for summer. 

Magnifibres Brush-on False Lashes-

I've heard such great things about this, and I seem to have become a little bit obsessed with eyelashes. I just think that nice eyelashes can add that nice polished finish to a look- so if this helps me achieve that, then I'm a fan. 

Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 

This combines two products that I really want to try, just because the brand is talked about a lot, as is the idea of using a muslin cloth for skin care. I'm yet to try any Liz Earle products, but it's definitely on the to-do list. (And if it helps my skin-hoozarr!) 

Cream Pigment in Hollow 

I've only tried one Illamasqua product before, and I wasn't that impressed. However, i'm willing to let that slide for this product! I believe it's meant to be used as an eye shadow, but I think it would be a nice to use for some subtle contouring! 

Too Faced Brow Envy-

I recently purchased the Urban Decay Brow Palette, and I really do like it, but there's something about this that makes me want it. It's on my to buy list...when I need it, and when I can bare to part with the money. 

Clarins Satin Finish Lipstick in Rouge Eclat-

I know, I know- do I really need anymore red lipsticks? When it comes to this, yes, yes I do. I say no more. 

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream-

I first bought this in Macy's (New York) back in June 2011, and I felt a little bit sick after parting with so much money (as I also bought a Bobbi Brown foundation and concealer at the same time) but after discovering how long this lasted for, and how much I loved it and now miss it, I really don't feel guilty. It was a good life choice. Or so I keep telling myself. (I wouldn't say no to the foundation and concealer again either!) 

Are there are any beauty products that have really caught your eye recently? I thought my compulsion to buy beauty products was finally slowing down, but I think this list sort of proves other wise!

I want that squirrel!!

Hi guys!

I'm back with what I hope is a substantial blog post! As Christmas is just around the corner, and my 21st birthday is not much further away (January 11th, if you were wondering,) I felt a wish list was necessary! Having said that, I've barely been out into the real world or online so whilst I have a couple of ideas in mind (a hamster, an adopted penguin, letter from Hogwarts- life essentials) it's literally going to be a case of hunting around the internet whilst I do this!

Swallow Ear Plug- £9.99

Although I already have one swallow ear plug, I can't help but love this. I've had my eye on this for so long, but as I already own so many plugs I've resisted buying this. 

Amarya Beauty Box- £12.50pm

As you may know, I'm obsessed with my monthly Glossy Box subscription so the idea of another monthly beauty box makes me very very happy! As this one is full of natural and organic products, it appeals to my inner hippy. I can't quite justify paying for 2 monthly boxes...so if santa wanted to sign me up, that'd be great! 

Pixi Lash Line Pen - £12

I wish I could remember where I heard about the 'pixi' make up line, all I can remember is hearing very good things about it. As someone who loves a bit of winged eyeliner, I'm always on the hunt for a miracle liquid eyeliner! 

Urban Decay Smoked Eye Palette- £31.50

Let's be honest, I wouldn't be a fan of eye make up if I didn't crave some Urban Decay make up in my life. 

Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara- £18.90

Without a doubt, this is my all time favourite mascara. I just hate that it has to be so expensive so I only ever buy it as a treat. 

Bobbi Brown Hydrating face cream- £32.40

So, I bought this last year from Macys (I was on holiday...I felt it was okay to spend that much on moisturiser!) and oh I miss it so much :( It lasted for ages and I was reluctant to accept that it had finally run out. I need this back in my life! 

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb- £58-£80

This perfume...just...wow. 

For a while I was buying the tester sized bottles from ebay, and then I finally bought a full sized bottle from the airport but a while ago I managed to break the top off it (oops!!) so I'm left with a bottle that's just teasing me. I definitely need some more of this, it makes me very happy :) 

Tweed Blazer- £34

I stumbled across this a few weeks ago, and some money has been knocked off it since (making it all the more tempting!) and I don't know if it's right for me to love it as much as I do... 

Now, as I'll be turning 21...I can't help but feel I deserve a more 'adult' coat, as opposed to my scruffy looking khaki parka. 

Burberry Trench Coat- £1,195

My guilty pleasure in life...*daydreams*

One day this pretty shall be mine. 

I've also been trying to track down 'Adventure Time' on DVD, and you can guarantee I'll be asking for plenty of Lush, Waterstones and Amazon vouchers! 

You can also guarantee a follow on to this post, full of clothes and shoes. I'm just not feeling particularly inspired at the moment, uhoh. 

I miss the days of being a kid and flicking through the Argos catalogue, making a list of every.single.item! 

What about you, do you like making lists for people or are you all about the surprise?!

Jewellery Wishlist

If you're anything like me, you have a bit of a jewellery problem that leaves you in a catch 22. I own far too many pieces of jewellery, yet for the most part, I stick to a select few pieces and the rest just stay there looking pretty. Despite this, I have an obsession with buying jewellery to add to the collection.
I thought for this month I would be well behaved, and instead of buying these pieces, I'll just list them all so I can continue to look at them. (For now, pay day is only round the corner...)

Necklace from Etsy
I love this book, and I love this quote. Perfect.

Necklace from Wallpaper Rose
I love keys, I'm  not sure why, is this normal?
It's currently sold out but they're often getting items back in stock so I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Necklace from City and Colour
Being a fan of City and Colour, and as someone who completely loves the song 'Little Hell,' It makes complete sense for me to own this necklace.
I'm usually not a fan of gold, but for this, I'll make the exception.

Ear plugs from Etsy
Thankfully, these are too small for my ears otherwise I would have snapped them up straight away!

Bracelet from Etsy (again!)
I can't think of anything more perfect for me!

Hand Harness from Shop Dixi
I've been eyeing this item up for a quite while! It's not like anything I've seen on the highstreet,  which just adds to the many reasons why I love it.

Feather drop earrings from River Island
I can't help but love these, however the price kinda puts me off.
I'm also not sure if it would look like I had 'too' much going on with my ears, as I have a fair few piercings in each etc.
I imagine I'd only wear one at a time just to tone it back, but even so...
