September Wish List

 So before I get onto my September wish list, an update on my August wish list. I didn't purchase many of the products due to available funds! However, I did buy Soap&Glory hand food and Lush Soft Coeur massage bar. Although I didn't buy the essie nail polish I bought an accessorize pastel blue shade instead!

Onto the September Wish List: 

Burt's Bees Lip shimmer in Watermelon- I've been loving purpley shades and Burts Bees are renowned for being moisturising and lovely.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush- Again, a purpley shade and I really want to try these giant pencils!

Lush Vanilla Dee-Lite Body Lotion- My vanilla body lotion is running out and I just love lush and vanilla so would love this!

Stila One Step Corrector- I've heard good things about this as a moisturiser, highlighter and primer. Most of all I love the colours and the swirly bubble effect and would love to try it!

Burt's Bees Milk and Shea Butter Body Wash- My shower gel has ran out too and I love the sound of this, not smelt it though.

Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Eyeliner- I currently use this but need a new one, I love how thin the brush is and haven't found another one as good so far.

Ruby Bee's Candles- My mum has these in lots of scents and they are just lovely, so scented and burn really well. I feautured these in my bedroom decor post on my other blog, here.

Mini Haul

Today I got a package in the post which was exciting, it was my purchases from Honey Go-Lightly's blog sale.

I got a soap&glory mascara and the elf smoky eye palette.

I will probably be reviewing both these products and am excited to use the guide on the pallette as I usually only wear one eyeshadow colour at once! Not sure about the cream eyeliners though....

I also got some soap&glory travel sizes from Boots on 3 for 2, I've been loving using Hand Maid and Hand Food and keeping them in my handbag. The Flake Away also smells yummy too and left my skin feeling fresh.

August Wish List

Some products I'd love right now, I would make this a weekly wants but with my bank balance I think I'll be wanting them for a while! From left to right:

Lush Soft Coeur massage bar- I've smelt this in the shop and it smells delicious, I would just use it to moisturise after a shower, yummy.

Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter- I'm looking for a lovely moisturising lipstick with nice colours, this one has had excellent reviews.

Benefit Boo Boo Zap!- I've had terribly red and inflamed spotty skin recently and I want to see if this does the trick.

Essie 'Bikini So Teeny' Nail Polish- I've been eyeing up essie for a while now and this colour is lovely.

Benefit 'How to look the best at everything' flawless complection make up set- I love the benefit sets to experiment with the different products, this new one tempts me.

Benefit they're real! mascara- I love dramatic looking lashes.

Soup and Glory hand food- I love the smell and my hands are thirsty at the moment!

Essie 'Set in Stones' Nail Polish- I love this effect!

What products are tempting you at the moment?

Recent Purchases

Hello, Welcome again to my new blog!
This post is a review of some products that I have recently bought.

So the first thing is a concealer. I had been using Benefit's Confessions of a concealaholic set since April and was loving both shade 1 and 2 of Boiing concealer on different areas of my face. But it was running out so I headed to the Benefit counter, however, I wanted to carry on using two shades and didn't really want to spend £33 since Boiing is £16.50. So, I looked around and found this-

Soap&Glory's Kick Ass Concealer

 which incluses 'under eye brightening concealer with 'Puffease', Superwear face concealer and sealing powder.

The sides label steps 1, 2 and 3. So after I've put my foundation on I use the under eye concealer on the right, the face concealer on the left then use the puff and translucent setting powder.

(sorry the photo was taken after I used it!)

I actually really love this product, It's hard to tell whether the setting powder does make the concealer and foundation stay on longer but it makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I'm sold on this alternative as it is much cheaper.

Boots Price: £7 

Ecotools Bamboo foundation brush

So I bought this recently and love how soft and easy to use it is, the texture is brilliant for foundation and I can't see myself using any other brushes. I would say go and feel one in the shop, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Boots Price: £7.99

Ecotools Bamboo 6 piece brush set

At the time I bought the foundation brush I also bought a cheaper brand blusher brush and found it really harsh on my face. So I returned and bought this set which contains- Blusher brush, concealer brush, eyeshadow brush, angled eyeliner brush and lash and brow groomer.

I was not disappointed! These brushes feel so nice and work really well for their purpose. The concealer brush is a different texture like the foundation brush but all are really soft and lovely to use. I think it's definitely worth spending more money on these, and the set is a good deal.

Boots Price: £15.99

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner 

I've had this before and it does wonders for my hair. However, using it too often makes it greasy so I only use it every 2/3 weeks, hence I got the travel size. This makes my hair smell yummy and just makes it feel all soft and nourished.

Travel size price: £1.69 (I think)

St Moriz Instant self tanning mousse

So I recently broke my fake tanning virginity. Well, kind of. I've used moisturising gradual tanners before but ended up with horrible orange patches and streaks so I was scared to try the real deal. Anyway, a friend told me she uses this and thinks it's as good as the more expensive brands (St Tropez.etc.) so at £4 I thought i'd give it a go.

Verdict- Pretty good! I used it with a mitt on my legs and it applied relatively easy and smoothly, I followed the instructions on the bottle about moisturing.etc. So I'm quite impressed, it dried pretty quickly and actually doesn't look that faded after a shower, since it is only temporary. I think I may get into the habit of using this. I bought it from a factory shop and my friend says you can get it from Home Bargains.etc. There is also a lotion and spray available.

Price: £4

There we go, I hope you liked this post and look forward to more!
