Summer Wishlist 2013!

Although many days (like today) may not look like it; summer is finally here in the UK! Like the start of any season, I find myself searching the internet for things I would love to have for the upcoming season. Hopefully before the season is out I will have purchased a few of these lovely items I am going to share with you. I have sectioned them into categories, kind of like when people do 'favourites' posts, the only difference is I actually don't own the items. *cry* LET'S DO THIS.

BEAUTY!

Going from left to right, here are my beauty picks for summer:

Top- Bourjois So Laque Glossy Nail Enamel in shade 04 Amande Defile, Stila Eyeshadow in Compact Cloud, MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum
Bottom- Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Definer, Benefit Fine One One Cheek Colour, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh

All of these products look so lovely! I really like the idea of Benefit Fine One One, it looks so easy to use and the colours are really good too I think. Also, although I love using liquid eyeliner, I feel like the Rimmel exaggerate eyeliner will give a softer and smokier eyeline as  it is cream based, which will make it easy to blend (IN THEORY). I adore all of the Marc Jacobs scents, and I recently smelled the new Daisy in Debenhams and I truly believe I need it in my life as soon as possible! I LOVE stila eyeshadows, and I own two Stila palletes which I really enjoy using, some people find them awkward to use because they're really powdery, but once you get past that I think the eyeshadows give an incredible pigment with the right amount of shimmer. I just really like the colour of the Bourjois nail polish, I understand that a lot of companies do that kind of mint green shade, but I could only pick one so that is what I chose.

FASHION!

I'm going to do three high end and three high street, this is a wishlist after all...

Top- Valley Girl T-Shirt from Wildfox, Madameoiselle Tara cute bow dress, The Cambridge Satchel Company Chelsea Bag in Honeysuckle
Bottom- River Island Cream Floral Cut out Playsuit, New Look Limited Gladiator Sandals in White, Stone Flower Rope Bracelet from Topshop.

It seems like I have a bit of an obsession with white, maybe I do, it's just there's nothing more pretty in summer than clean white clothes on a tan (I don't ever tan but I still love white in the summer, keeps me cool). I love that Valley Girl top from Wildfox, I know it's meant for the American Belair Princesses, but being someone who lives in a valley in North Wales, I personally find it quite funny! It's pink too which is an added bonus! I kind of think most of these items go together too which is nice, although I doubt I will get all of them as combined it is about £500 of stuff! I got stuff to pay for man...

RANDOM!

Top- Tumblers with a straw (This one is from The Disney Store), Sunflowers EVERYWHERE, This is 40 on DVD
Bottom- Macaroons, The New Beetle Cabriolet in light blue, The smells of lemons!

All of these things make me very happy! Well I think, I haven't seen This is 40 yet but I have heard it is very funny so I can't wait to see it!

That's it really!

Five Beauty Products that have Made my Life a little bit more Beautiful... ahem.

Although I wish I didn't, I absolutely adore make up. It's a fun and creative way of making everyday different (however, I have to admit, I usually go for the same things each day, although if I am feeling bold I will go for a slightly different shade of gold eyeshadow). Here are some lovely products I am currently using that I feel need sharing with the world. Having said this, these products may make your face look more like mine... use with caution.


1. Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive (Transparent)

Okay, I have taken these pictures myself of my own products, sorry if the make up packaging doesn't look perfect, I am not exactly what you would call 'careful'

 This lash glue is awesome because it is easy to use even by idiots like myself. It makes the whole sticking eyelashes to one's face experience a lot less painful! Also, it shows up a blue colour first and when it is ready to apply it is clear which is great! I have tried a whole load of eyelash glues because I really struggle with it and I feel this product has helped me on my way to having beautiful fluttering eyelashes.

2. Maybelline 'The Falsies' Volume Express Flared Mascara

I personally like a mascara that has an old school brush made from bristles and not plastic... Just me? Oh well.

I had heard all the raving about 'The Falsies' mascara all over blogs and from various youtubers too so I was really eager to try it, but I made myself use up the mascara I had first because I am good like that (yeah, right). There is a whole variety of options with these mascaras, I went for one that kind of matched the look I wanted to achieve. I personally have winged out eyeliner most days and prefer my eyelashes flared over other looks, but everyone is different I guess. I haven't personally tried any of the others from the range, partially because I like this one so much, and also because I'm trying to stop myself spending so much money on make up (it really is a problem).

3. Max Factor 'Colour Elixir' in 715- Ruby Tuesday

I personally believe there is no bad mood a bit of red lipstick and a pair of 6 inch heels can't sass it's way out of.

Red lipstick. One of the many loves in my life (not like that!!) and this particular lipstick is incredible. I am an owner of many a red lipstick (arguably too many), but I really do think that there's something about it which changes how you are around people and the way you hold yourself. I have blonde hair currently which it looks lovely with in my opinion (both me and my mum use it), but I did have darker, ombre hair for a while and it looked nice with that too. It is really soft on the lips which is amazing because many dark lipsticks can feel really harsh and dry on my lips, I don't know if anybody else gets that? Anyway, it lasts a long time and it has been known to be a lucky lipstick... If you catch my drift. 'Nuff said.

4. Rimmel London Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner (Black)

As you can see from this photo of me with my dog Buddy, I am a MASSIVE fan of the 'winged out' or 'cat flick' eyeliner...

Imagine this product as a little like Angelina Jolie's eyes in a bottle... That good.

 This product is really inexpensive for the quality, both me and a friend of mine use it to do flicks of eyeliner on a daily basis and I have been using it for years and repurchasing it. I have finally managed to master how to do it without stretching my eyelid (I finally feel like a woman) which I believe is down to this eyeliner being so straightforward, rather than my own skills to my dismay.

5. MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation Spf 15

Yes, I'm an NW 15, it's cool to be pale, right?
  

 Okay, so I didn't want to be that girl that writes a beauty blog and just raves about everything MAC does. I do like MAC; they have good quality products, but as a poor student I feel that I should be representing the majority of people who just can't afford it, because I certainly can't. However, this is a really good foundation and I want to be honest about my favourites so here it is. It is a dewy, medium coverage foundation that can be built up if needed. I only use a tiny bit of this and it looks nice, not too matte, and I have dry skin so it makes my face look fresh and not dry and gross (in my opinion anyway). It is in the region of £24, but it lasts a long time which is its redeeming feature. When I can I will buy this foundation because it is rather good.

That's it really.
