Elf Christmas List

These are mostly make up brushes cause I really don't have that great a collection of brushes, and I can't wash them after every use like you should because a) I'm too lazy and b) they'd still be damp the next time I need them.

So I've been looking around the Elf website and I've found quite a few that I really want, and some other make-up essentials.

1. Daily Brush Cleaner
2. Complexion Brush
3. Angled Foundation Brush
4. Lash and Brow Clear Mascara
5. Angled Contour Brush
6. Concealer Brush
7. Makeup Mist & Set
8. Stipple Brush

Let me know what you think of my Elf products Christmas list, if you have any of these products or if you just want them too! Leave any comments or questions below or chat to me on twitter

Collective Haul!

There have been some great online sales recently and I still have some boots vouchers so I have done a little bit of splurging this week - but I'm done until Christmas now I swear!

Glamorous Dress
Topshop Metallic Jacket

 I'm iffy on this Glamorous dress to be honest, but it was only £9.99 and I've worn it and taken the tag off so I don't really think I can return it... I don't know, it's just more synthetic material than I like and it clings to my lumps and bumps, eh.

I love my Topshop jacket, though I have absolutely no idea when I'm going to wear it. It's a lot nicer than that picture shows, it's a metallic dusty pink and it fits nicely - I will find a suitable outfit!

Look Beauty Blush - 'Flirt'

I went for this blusher over Sleek's Rose Gold because it's a bigger palette, and it's more coral toned than pink, as most of my blushers are more pink based I fancied a change. It's really pigmented and I'm looking forward to blending it with my bronzer.

NYC - Lights Camera Glitter
Revlon - Scandalous
Maybelline The Falsies Flared
VO5 Hot Oil Moisture Soak Elixir
Lipcote

Little bit of everything here, two nail polishes that I really wanted, the Maybelline mascara I've been meaning to try for ages and then the V05 Moisture Soak which my hair is in dire need of, and Lipcote which I've been searching for!

Anndddddd onto the six lipsticks!!

Kate Moss for Rimmel Matte Lipsticks - 107 and 110

 I'm in love with this collection, I want them all, the Matte's especially! I went for 107 which is a dark pinky red, and 110 which is a bright coral - the texture is just gorgeous.

MUA Lipsticks - Shade 10 and 16 (Nectar)

 Then these MUA lipsticks kind of look similar to the Kate Moss ones but Shade 10 is a lot pinker than 110 and Shade 16, Nectar is more muted and pale (though it doesn't look it in the photo)

Sleek Lipsticks - Peaches & Cream and Papaya Punch

These are my first Sleek lipsticks and it's a bit of a hit and a miss. Papaya Punch is gorgeous, the coral colour, the matte finish - amazing. Peaches and Cream however... eh. It doesn't really stay on my lipsticks and I think it's a bit too yellow for my skin tone - I will persist with it!

So there's my haul guys, probably my last one for a while! Let me know what you think, have you tried any of these products or do you want more of a review on them if you're interested in getting them in the future?

"The look on a persons face after having been deprived of sleep due to binge drinking/taking drugs... usually after a good weekend" - Urban Dictionary

Well that definition isn't at all accurate, I've had plenty of sleep and I haven't had booze for a week, this is just my face! Not sure if this will be a regular thing, just felt like doing it today!

Hair - absolutely natural

No. 7 Beautiful Brows Pencil (Brown/Black)
MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette (1, 2, 7, 8)

So there we go, another new thing I'm trying, apologies for the constant bad quality iPhone pictures!

New Makeup Wishlist

After I did my high end MAC wishlist, I thought I'd change things up a bit and show my current 'drug store' makeup loves, all the stuff I will hopefully buy in my next few trips to Superdrug or Boots!

1. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Of course everyone is banging on about it and as I'm finding my current MUA concealer slightly drying, I fancy giving this one a go!
2. No. 17 Instant Glow Body Bronzer - I absolutely love No. 17's Instant Fake Tan but I can't seem to find it anymore, so I'll try out their newer one instead.
3. Collection Fix Me Up Spray
4. MUA Pro Brow Kit - This is a new product from MUA and I'm want to try it, but will compare it to the Sleek one in store, and this ones a fiver cheaper.
5. MUA Lipstick in Shade 13
6. MUA Lipstick in Shade 16 Nectar
7. Sleek Lipstick in Peaches and Cream
8. Lipcote
9. Sleek Brow Kit in Dark - Like I said above, when I'm in Superdrug I'll compare it with the MUA kit and see which I prefer.
10. Sleek Blush in Rose Gold - The infamous NARS Orgasm dupe, I must get this soon!
11. Sleek Face Contour Kit
12. Maybelline The Falsies Flared Mascara - Ingrid (MissGlamorazzi) raves about this mascara and you can never have too many so I'm going to try it.  

Let me know if you have any of these items, and what's on your wishlist!

Beauty Shopping List!

I'm going on a mini shopping spree with my Mum on Saturday, yes this is a huge deal because she hates shopping centres with a passion so getting her to come with me is a rare event - I'm bribing her with Nando's!

I'll be calling into Boots and Superdrug to look at some things, so I thought I'd make a list here of all the stuff I want to get but don't want to risk ordering them online.

1. New Foundation

Don't worry, I'm still sticking with my old faithful MaxFactor, but I want to test out a few more and see if they could be possible alternatives when I don't fancy a full matte face. The choices I'm looking at are Maybelline Superstay 24 hour, Bourjois Healthy Mix, Rimmel Wake Me Up and Revlon ColorStay.

2. VO5 Hair Products

I borrowed my lovely best friend Lindsay's VO5 Instant Oomph Powder when my hair just wouldn't behave the other week, and it really worked so I'm going to stock up on some of their products that been raved about, like the Hot Oil Shower treatment or the Tousled Style spray.

3. Collection 2000 treats

I'm in love with my Collection 2000 lipsticks so I'm going to see if there's any other colours I fancy, and my Mum needs a new kohl eyeliner.

4. A Fake Orgasm?!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist! I've heard that Sleek blush in Rose Gold is a pretty good dupe for Nars Orgasm, and seeing as that is so far out of my price range right now, I thought I'd give the cheaper alternative a try!

If I ended up buying anything that's good I'll obviously talk about it on here.

If you've tried any of these products and want to give me your opinion that would be awesome, you can leave a comment below or chat to me on twitter!

Weekly Wants #2

Is it really friday already? Wow! So keeping on schedule, it's time for my second Weekly Wants post, all the stuff I've fallen in love with over the past 7 days and wish I could afford!

Oversized chunky knit cardigan - Glamorous, £44.99
Oh I'm so excited seeing all the Autumn clothes coming into stores! I love big cardigans and the aztec style pattern on this one would be great to just throw on over a plain outfit.

Cross embellished skater dress - Missguided, £26.99
You can never have too many black dresses and this one is just too cute, I love the floaty skirt and the cross detail on it just rocks it up a little bit - the cross trend seems to be here to stay and I don't mind at all.

Neon flats - H&M £12.99
Now these I am going to have to buy, I absolutely love the neon pop trend and they will brighten up any all black or dark coloured outfit.

Primed and poreless powder - Toofaced £22.00
I've heard a lot about this powder and I definitely want to try it out once my Maxfactor Creme Puff powder is finished.

Paco Robanne Black XS - Fragrance Direct £32.99
Anyone who knows me, knows that this is my go to perfume and I'm gutted that my latest bottle has run out. I can't currently afford a new bottle so I'm living with a tiny sample and the body lotion until my birthday!

Weekly shopping total - £139.96
Not as high as last week - I've improved my budgeting! I'll definitely be getting the neon flats next time I'm around H&M and the cardigan might have to come out when the weather gets cooler again.

I hope you like my weekly wants - let me know yours in the comments below or chat to me on twitter!

Stuff in the post!

Who doesn't love getting stuff in the post? I know I do, it brightened my mood up so much after I had to have a cold shower!

I had three packages to open, one was just a new iPhone charger, nobody wants to see that, but the other two were much more exciting.

W7 10 piece Professional Brush set

Rimmel 60 Seconds - Sky High*, Rimmel 60 Seconds - Rose Libertine*,
No. 7  Mirror Shine Lipstick -  Beehive*,
Maybelline Super Stay 18 hour Color - Chilli

Yes I love getting new stuff! The items with asterix next to them were sent to me by the lovely Nicola as part of my prize from her blog competition. I've tried the Beehive lipstick and I absolutely love the colour, it's a 'my lips but better' shade! 

I've needed new make-up brushes for ages, as I've been using the same pitiful brushes for years and I use them for the wrong things and it's just a disaster. So now I'm very happy to have lots of brushes with this W7 set, looking forward to trying out the fan brush especially. All I need now are buffing and stippling brushes and I'm set!

The brushes and Maybelline lip colour were from a website called The Cosmetic House, which sells tons of discounted make up. I'm not in love with this Maybelline because the red is a little darker and more muted than it looked on the website, but I can tell you it definitely stays put! I had to scrub my lips ridiculously hard to get the colour off after I used the super stay balm. Maybe I'll learn to love the colour!

I hope you liked noseying through the stuff I got today, as always if you have any comments or questions you can leave them below, or chat to me on twitter!
