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!

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty!

I know this tag has been going around the Youtube beauty "gurus" for months, but I see no reason why a blogger can't get involved too. It looks fun, even though the lust question is strange as it's nothing to do with make-up, but I'm just gonna roll with it!

GREED - What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?

The most inexpensive beauty item I own would be all of my MUA stuff that costs £1, the pressed powder, blusher and bronzer! Such a deal!
The most expensive beauty product is probably the Urban Decay NYC Book of Shadows palette which I think cost £36. It was a present to myself before I started my first year at Uni, and at least there's lots of different eye shadows in it so it's not just ONE thing.

WRATH - What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? 

False eyelashes! I love to wear them but I can rarely get a pair that fit along my lash line properly, my eyes are usually too wide, and then the glue never works properly and I can see them out of the corner of my eye - argh! I suffer through the annoyance cause they're so pretty.


GLUTTONY - What are your most delicious beauty products?
My passionfruit and grapefruit shower gel, and my Body Shop coconut body butter and scrub. Two very different scents but I just want to eat them both. (Not recommended!)


SLOTH - What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
Oh fake tan definitely. I will use it if I'm off on a big night out, but it takes forever to get right, then it rains or you get a drink spilt on you so it goes streaky and it ruins my white sheets at Uni - worst purchase ever!!


PRIDE - What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
Probably a really bright lipstick, or fake tan when I do bother to use it!


LUST - What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?

(The black sheep question!) They have to be tall, I tend to prefer dark hair, I love a great sense of humour - cause I'm usually giddy and hyper so I need someone who can keep up with the banter, and it helps if they're a bit of a nerd and like different types of music. So not much ;)


ENVY - What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
Perfume is always great as a gift, cause it's something I don't buy for myself very often unless it's a great bargain, and my personal favourite Paco Rabanne Black XS is pretty pricey.



I tag everybody reading this! If you have any comments or questions you can leave them below and you can always chat to me on twitter!

MUA Haul!

Brush On Concealer, Lipsticks Shade 3 and 12, Flair Eyelashes,
Bronzer Shade 1, Pressed Powder Shade 2 and Blusher Shade 2

Like most girls I know, I'm currently in love with MUA! I've bought so much from them in the past few months, I feel like I've almost doubled my make up collection with their bargains.

You just don't expect such good quality products for £1 - all this stuff came to less than a tenner, which absolutely blows my mind.

I bought the Vixen lashes awhile back and they are some of my favourites, so I'm trying Flair out as a less dramatic pair.

I tried the pressed powder, bronzer and blusher today when I went to the hairdressers and they work together for a lovely day time look. It probably wouldn't be enough for full coverage on a night out, but you could always combine them with liquid foundation. I was also really impressed with the brush on concealer - it's the perfect shade for my skin and covered up my under eye greyness.


I'm very excited to use these lipsticks, they are so rich and creamy. Shade 12 is a gorgeous summery pink and Shade 3 is definitely going to become my go to lip colour this Autumn. The blusher is a pale pink colour with looks really nice and natural, more of a toned down version of my Mac Ambering Rose.

Are you on the MUA train yet and do you have any of these products? If you have any comments or questions you can leave them below or chat to me on twitter!
