Wishlist September 2012

 

 

I'm never going to get any of these, but I think it is fun to dream, right?
If I had a money tree, I think these are some of the first products I would purchase!

I would love to know what is on your dream wishlist! 

Holiday to-do list

My Christmas holidays are coming up and I'm so excited! There are so many things that I have been putting off doing because I have been too busy, and soon I shall be able to catch up on them all as I will have so much time to relax and enjoy life!

I really want to try out marble nail art. I just saw this for the first time the other day on a blog, and I was amazed! I expected it to be something really complicated that would take hours and hours and lots of special, expensive products, but I watched a couple of youtube videos and you only need a cup of water and a stirring stick! How good is that! I hope that when I give it a go I'll find it easy...I think it looks so fun! I'd love to know if you have done it before and if you have any tips or tricks on how to do it!

I also want to try out some more eye makeup looks because I haven't done any of that on my blog (except, of course, when I tried the ladybird look, and what a disaster that was!) I've been inspired by everyone elses EOTD looks!

I also want to try out some new hairstyles as I am so bored with my current ones. I hope to post some pictures on them (that is, if I actually come up with something good!)

Last but definitely not least, I really want to go shopping! I'm hoping that after Christmas when they have all the sales that I might be able to get some beauty bargains! I have a huge wishlist about ten pages long (okay, maybe not that much but it's pretty close!) of all these wonderful beauty products. It include matte nail polish, loads of lipsticks and lush and body shop products!

What are you guys planning on doing over Christmas?

On the lookout for...

At the moment I am on the lookout for some specific products, and so I decided to consult some beauty experts (ie. You guys!)

Since having this blog, no longer can I go out and buy a product without having read a positive review about it on someones blog. I am too scared to go and buy something without being 90% sure that it will be worth my money.

So, like I mentioned, I am seeking advice on some good products.

I am looking for a tinted moisturiser for fair to medium skin, that doesn't cost a fortune but actually is tinted. So many tinted moisturisers are either WAY too dark for my skin, or are barely even tinted. I would love to hear what you think.

I am also looking for a gradual tanning/moisturiser for my legs. I don't want to have to worry about all the hassles of fake tan - I want to apply it to my legs each day and slowly build up a glow that I am satisfied with. I don't want it to be an overnight thing, because I want to be able to control the amount of colour on my legs!

I want a good concealer for covering horrid pimples and acne scars. My Rimmel concealer covers bags well, but not pimples or scars.

I am also looking for a wonderful light pink/nude lipstick. I have heard wonderful things about the MAC lipstick in Hue, but here in Australia there are no places to get MAC cosmetics, and so I would have to buy it online. This is fine except that I cannot be sure of what the actual colour looks like. Hmmm....They are also a little expensive online...

I would also love to know what people think of the NYX Jumbo eye pencil in milk...I have heard mixed reviews. Some hate it, some love it!

If anyone has any opinions or products that they love, I would love to hear about them!

Wishlist!

I am a list-making kind of person. I love them, so it is no surprises that I have a little (okay, maybe big) list of my makeup/beauty wishes. I know it will be an impossibly long time before I even get one of these things on my list, but it's still fun to dream. Right?

1) Maybelline dream mousse blush
I have heard so many wonderful things about this blush. For someone like me who is concerned about looking like a clown, I think it would be very useful and easy to use.

2) Maybelline Baby Lips - Cherry
Okay, I know I already have the Babylips lipbalms in two other flavours, but man they are magnificent. I want the the cherry flavour so badly! I also need to get a new one in Berry Anti oxidant because my other one got smushed all through my pocket after going through the washing machine. I nearly cried!

3) Maybelline Shine Sensational lipgloss - Glamorous Guava
As soon as they came out, I wanted one. Then someone told me they were terrible. That put me off, but the other day my friend was raving about it. Oh, I can't decide!

3) The Body Shop Strawberry body butter
Every time I walk past this shop, I go in and have a sniff of their body butters. My heart is set on the strawberry one - I have given so many hints that I think I might be getting this one for Christmas! (I know it's a long way away but it'll come in good time!)

4) Clinique Chubby sticks - Woppin' Watermelon
Apart from the fact that they are ridiculously expensive ($35 for a lipstick/gloss!!!) I have heard so many good things about these and they just look so fun to play with! A problem is that I haven't seen them ANYWHERE! Oh how I want one of these!

5) BYS Nail polish - Glam glitter, Silver moon
I think this would be an awesome polish over the top of any colour, and it looks like so much fun to have a play around with! Why haven't I got around to getting this earlier?!

6) BYS Scented Nail Polish - Summer fruit or Roses
First of all, scented nail polish sounds so cool. I really want a pastel peachy pink colour, so I think these would be perfect. I like the colour of 'Roses', but want the scent of 'Summer fruit.' A hard decision!

7) An Aqua coloured nail polish
I haven't actually found one that I have fallen in love with. I am fussy because blues and greens don't usually work on me, but I would love to try one out. I expect I will end up with one from the Ulta brand (even though they are so cheap, they are good!)

8) A white nail polish
Is that seriously dodgy that I want white nail polish? I don't even know why I want it...I expect it will end up looking like I have coloured my nails in with liquid paper...oh dear.

9) A good nude lipstick
I don't have a nude lipstick that I am fully impressed with. It has to look perfect or else it totally ruins everything. Still looking for a good nude lippie!

10) A coral lipstick
I have always stuck to pinks when it comes to lipsticks, balms and glosses but I want to branch out and go for a coral. I love the reviews of them I have seen on everyones blogs, so jealous!

11) Revlon Vinyl Lipgloss - Not sure what shade
I am kind of hesitant about these, as I haven't really researched these much, but there is a lot of hype about them and I think they would be interesting to try out!

12) Rimmel London 60 second nail polish - Purple Reign, Coral crush
I bought the coralicious colour and loved it. The 60 second drying time is amazing! I have got to get some more!

13) The body shop 'Born Lippy' - Raspberry/strawberry/pink guava/watermelon
I haven't actually gone and had a play around with the testers - I'm not sure which flavour I want (whatever smells best I think!)

14) Marc Jacobs perfume - Daisy
I think I have fallen in love with this mainly because of the bottle. Don't get me wrong - the scent is also gorgeous, but the bottle itself is just so beautiful.

15) EOS Lip sphere - Summer fruit/strawberry sorbet/honeysuckle honeydew
They don't sell these in Australia (I saw a review on someone else's blog) but it doesn't stop me from wanting one...

I would be happy getting only one of these things before I die! In fact, I would be happy not getting anything, just dreaming about it....Ahhh!
I would LOVE to hear what you think about these products and whether they are worth it or not and any recommendations you have. I would also love to hear about what's on your wishlist!
