MARCH WISHLIST

Hello again everyone! My post today is going to be dedicated to all the things that I'm loving/lusting for this month. {Take note family & Alex, as my birthday is only 3 months away} Feel free to comment below and tell me what you're wishing for this month, or if you have the product I'm lusting for whether it is worth the hype.



Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place


This is a high end foundation that I've been wanting for a while now. I love a high coverage foundation and have read so many good reviews on this.


Fleur De Force by Eyelure

I love Fleur de Force, and watch her YouTube videos regularly, I think these would be some perfect lashes for my holiday where I want a lash that just enhances my natural lashes. 


Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

I've been wanting a Urban Decay palette for around a year now but can't bring myself to splurge and spend the £38.50 on one, does anyone have the Smoky palette? Is it worth the price tag?


Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Again, I've been wanting a Urban Decay palette for so long, the shadows in this palette are all colours that I would wear, and I've read so many good reviews on this palette.


Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer

Obviously, if I'm going to spend nearly £40 on some eyeshadow I want them to stay in place? I'd love the primer to go with the palettes.



Mac Prep and Prime fix


My sister has this and I love it! It keeps your makeup in place all day.


Sony A5000 Camera

Not beauty related and this one is a bit of a cheat as I have actually ordered this to be delivered when I return home from uni but I'm so excited to receive it, and up my game on my blog photos.


Benefit Watts Up

I love the idea of a creamy stick highlighter and love the brand Benefit, so I definitely want to invest in this highlighter.


Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter

Another highlighter...but I've heard brilliant reviews of this highlighter, I haven't tried any of the Balm products just yet.


Morphe 12 Piece Brush Set

I really want to try some Morphe brushes, they look pretty and are affordable.


Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Need I even explain why I would want this cult beauty product? I really want to try a cream contour product so think this would be perfect.



Pandora Sparking Heart Ring

Another non-beauty related product but I really want a chunky ring and love the design of this.

I hope you've enjoyed reading about all the things I would love this month! Feel free to comment below.

NYE GRWM

NYE GRWM


I'm posting this on the 2nd of January, of what I wore on NYE! This is a follow up post to my previous post which was prep for NYE. I hope everyone had a lovely time welcoming the New Year in and everyone has a fabulous 2016! If you want to read my NYE Prep post click here :) The following picture includes everything I used to make my face for NYE.

I badly need to clean my brushes so excuse the dirty brushes!



Products in picture:

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser Benefit Porefessional Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation NW13 Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Fair Bare minerals Stroke of Light Mac Studio Fix Powder NW13 Smash box Shape Matters Palette Rommel Pink Rose Blush Mac Mineralize Skin finish Lightscapade Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomrade Blonde Benefit Gimme Brow Benefit High beam Mac Fluidline Blacktrack Mac New York Apple

I began by using the Simple moisturiser to prep my skin as I have fairly dry skin. The Simple moisturiser is quite light on the skin. I then used the Benefit 'porefessional' as a primer, I love this primer however find it quite oily and I cannot stand the texture, I don't know if anyone else agree's? It's just so strange! I then used the Mac foundation, with a Real Technique expert face brush. Following my foundation I concealed beneath my eyes with the Collection concealer, this is such a brilliant concealer and conceals dark circles and blemishes. I then secured all of this with the Mac powder, some use this as a foundation but I don't find it too heavy when applied with the Real Technique powder brush. After this, I contoured using the Smashbox palette, put Mac highlighter on my cheekbones and Rimmel blush on the apples of my cheeks.

Moving on to brows and eyes... I used the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomrade, I love this product so much! I've tried many brow products but can't seem to get on with powders. I set them with the Benefit speed brow and highlighted my brow bone with the Benefit high beam. 

Moving on to eyes... I used shadows from the Smashbox palette, and used the Mac fluidline to create a cat eye effect. Following all of this I put some Eyelure lashes on! I love these as they aren't too long but just long enough to finish of the look.

And lips... I used Mac 'New York Apple' on my lip, it is a redish shade, but not overpowering red and a lovely sheen.

The finished look was this...

I'm on the right if you didn't guess...
I hope you enjoyed this post! I can provide (as usual) any more info on any products that I've listed! Feel free to leave any comments :)
