MAC Wishlist

This has been a long over due post, but recently I've been getting into products for my lips - I know how that sounds but I've always been eye heavy so it's like a breath of fresh air to be focused on another aspect of my make up for a change. I will always love my basic pink, nude shades but I have been really experimenting with different shades of lipsticks and MAC has to be the ultimate queen of lip products, so I've made a wishlist of what shades I would like to get.

Now I haven't been blessed with having a MAC Counter near me, so I can't just go in, swatch and take the lipsticks home then and there. So I've taken to the internet along with millions of Google Image Searches to find out what colours I would use... After my latest MAC Google Image binge, I have made a list of the products I managed to narrowed it down to.

Lipsticks
Brave - light pink, nude
Candy Yum Yum - bright pink
Pink Nouveau - light bright pink
Rebel - plum
Ruby Woo - bright red
Russian Red - deep red
Twig - dark pink, nude
Viva Glam Miley - hot pink

Lip Pencils
Burgundy - deep red-ish purple
Dervish - light pink
Soar - dark pink
Spice - dark mauve
Stripdown - light nude
Subculture - light pink
Whirl - light mauve

Face
MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NW18
Pro Longwear Concealer - NC15

June 2015 Wishlist

This is the time of year where the majority of my money is being used on planning things to do over Summer, such as festivals, days out, weekends away, all sorts! Although I should have an amazing Summer my excessive make up buying has taken a bit of a backseat, which is painful to say. But, in true Emma-style, I am mentally spending my money before I have it...

Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour - £39 Cult Beauty

I've become a bit of a contour addict lately, I've been absolutely loving all things bronzing and highlighting! I have a round face so I feel that contouring is quite flattering for my face shape. I've tried plenty of powder contour products, so now I'm looking towards cream contour after falling in love with my Clinique Chubby Stick Contour (review soon).

Clinique Chubby Stick Highlight - £19 Feel Unique

As I mentioned before I have fallen in love with my contour stick from Clinique, so being the type of person to buy things in pairs (shampoos and conditioners), or collections (Naked 1, 2 & 3) I really want to get the matching highlighting stick to go with it.

Fake Bake Beyond Bronze Tanning Mousse - £16 Boots

I've really gotten in to fake tanning the past year, and I've found that mousses have (almost) never failed me. I find them easier to blend in without leaving any awkward white bits, plus I haven't tried anything out from Fake Bake before.

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow - £49 Selfridges

Another bronzing product... I promise I'm not (always) a walking tango. However this just looks like the most gorgeous bronze/highlight combo I have ever seen! I won't lie, the price put me off at first BUT you are getting two powders for about £25 each, and Hoola costs £23.50 so... It's back on my wish(shopping)list.

Zoeva Naturally Yours Eyeshadow Palette - £12.40 (approx) Zoeva

I previously bought a Zoeva palette with the last set of brushes I bought from them, but when it arrived I discovered that I weren't too keen on the shades, so I've been kicking myself that I didn't buy this one instead. 

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - £35 Space NK 
Estée Lauder Double Wear - £29.50 Debenhams
I haven't tried many high-end foundations, which I am DYING to change like ASAP. Both MAC and Nars foundations have featured on previous wishlists and I'm still yet to buy them.

Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask - £24.75 Feel Unique

When I got my Glamour Beauty Spring Edit box, I received a large mini of this mask and I fell in love with it and I vouched to myself that I would buy the full thing because of the wonders it did for my hair. Not only did it make my hair smell great, but it left it so incredibly soft when my hair suffers from being quite dry.

Benefit High Brow - £16.50 Boots

For my brow bone I usually just use a light eyeshadow for highlight, but I would like to be a bit more precise, giving my brow that bit more definition, hence why I want to add high brow to my collection.

Benefit Tweezerman - £19.50 Feel Unique
I've always been that £1 tweezer kind of girl, as I've always thought they just do the same thing but I've heard countless good reviews about Tweezermans tweezers, plus how cute is their Benefit tweezer?

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - £56 Space NK
This is another product where the price is abit off putting BUT that's still 3 powders you get there so it makes sense and I'll probably end up buying it eventually! I've heard nothing but good things about Hourglass so I'm sure I wouldn't regret it.

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask - £22.99 Feel Unique
I only heard about this recently, but I've seen so many people talk about it ever since that I really want to get on the hype. I have combination skin, sometimes it's oily, sometimes it's dry, I need a saviour for when it's dry and I'm hoping it is this. I swear by hair masks to regain hydration in my hair, it's about time I do the same for my face!

March 2015 Wishlist

Wishlists are dangerous. My last wishlist became my shopping list at the expense of my bank account, and it probably will be again this time. But I just found it so much fun that I really wanted to do it again this month! Besides what's the point of having money if you don't skint yourself till payday just so you're surrounded by pretty things... right?

1) theBalm timeBalm Concealer | 7.5g £14.75
I've gone a bit concealer crazy lately at the moment but I have been loving them so much! You can not beat a good concealer.

2) MAC Cinderella Stroke of Midnight Eyeshadow | £38.50
I'm sure you've all heard about the MAC Cinderella range... As much as it pains me to say this, I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on any because as soon as it went live on the MAC website everything sold out and is being re-sold on Ebay for extortionate prices... I know Debenhams and Selfridges are going to stock the range but probably not for long.

3) Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner | £6
I use eyeliner everyday, I just feel naked without it! And because I've loved all the other products I have tried from Soap & Glory I can imagine their eyeliner will be just as good.

4) Zoeva Rose Golden Eyeshadow Palette | €17.50
Ah yes, more eyeshadow... I just can't have enough eyeshadow, it's honestly an unhealthy addiction.

5) Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | 400ml £4.99
I've seen this everywhere at the moment but I still haven't tried it! I've been so happy using my Simple make up remover for years now, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to test the waters. Eh get it? Testing the waters? No...

6) MAC Studio Fix Fluid | 30ml £21.50
The only high-end foundation I've ever owned is the Benefit Hello Flawless! Oxygen Wow foundation. I've never really had a problem using my drugstore foundations, Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation has been my favourite for what feels like forever and has to be my most re-purchased make up product...ever!

7) theBalm Nude 'Tude Eyeshadow Palette Naughty | £30
I've obviously included a third eyeshadow palette... But I've actually already bought this one, I of course added it to my wishlist before I ended up buying it, but now I own it I realise that it really is such a stunning palette!!! I'll definitely have to write a review in the future.

8) Bourjois Rogue Edition Velvet, Nude-ist, Peach Club & Happy Nude Year | £8.99 Each
I love nude lips, I also like matte lips so my thoughts are why not try the Bourjois Velvet lipsticks? They offer plenty of shades to choose from and they're all gorgeous!

9) Illamasqua Precision Brow Gel, Strike | £18.50
Last but not least is the Illamasqua Brow Gel...I've been feeling experimental with my eyebrows lately and I stumbled across this product, it looks so much like gel eyeliner but for your brows! I reckon this could end badly, but I'm still interested to try it out all the same!

Are any of these on your wishlist too?

February 2015 Wishlist

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA this week, if you follow me on Twitter you've probably seen me sulking about my new laptop being in repairs, there was a manufacturer fault (aka karma for changing my laptop for the same model but in pink). Anyway, no matter how much makeup and beauty products I buy, there will always be more out there that I want to add to my collection so I thought I'd share 10 of the beauty products that are currently on my wishlist (aka shopping list).

1) Zoeva Rose Golden Brushes Vol 2 | £55 launches 23rd February
I already have the original Zoeva Rose Gold brushes, but now they're bringing out a volume 2! I think it's a must to add to my already existing Zoeva Rose Gold brushes. They are amazing quality and are so, so soft. I have never had any stray brush hairs fall out and I really do love them. Plus they're rose gold, who doesn't love a bit of rose gold!?

2) Mac Velvet Teddy | £15.50
I have never tried anything from Mac believe it or not, but I want to change that with one of their lipsticks and Velvet Teddy is such a gorgeous shade!

3) Philip Kingsley Extreme Elasticizer | 150ml £30
Being un-naturally blonde comes with its pros and cons. The biggest con is the damage, however this product looks like a must-have-god-send and I plan to buy it very soon

4) Benefit Girl Meets Pearl | 12ml £24.50
I love highlighters, and I really liked the creaminess of my Sleek Precious Metals palette, so I thought I would try out a more liquidy highlighter so I thought there was no brand better to try out other than Benefit!

5) Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara | £19
Like with Mac, I've never tried anything anything from Too Faced either (I am an awful beauty blogger guys I'm sorry) but I also want to change that. I've heard so many good things about their 'Better Than Sex' mascara and what a great name it has as well. Eye makeup is what I buy most up their with foundation so I'm always willing on trying out something new.

6) b.right Boo Boo Zap! Solution for Problem Skin | 7.4ml £13.50
7) b.right Total Moisture Face Cream | 48.2g £28.50
I've been suffering from bad skin over the winter months, although my drugstore products do temporarily fix the issue I have yet to find something that works in the long run. And Benefit has to be one of my favourite makeup brands ever, so I have to give their skin  care range a go.

8) John Frieda Go Blonder Spray | 100ml £6.99
If you have read any of my previous hair posts you will see that I have banned myself from bleach but I'm staying blonde letting my hair grow into a natural ombre. I've gone two months without bleach so far and I tend to go for even longer! I sound like a recovering bleach addict, maybe I am...

9) TIGI Bedhead Dumb Blonde Shampoo & Reconstructor | 2 x 750ml £26.36
When I first went blonde ever (must be 5 years ago now) my mum was also blonde, so she had blonde products stocked up in the bathroom. One of which was this, from what I remember my hair felt amazing after using the reconstructor so I'm dying to try it out again!

10) theBalm Mary Lou Manizer | £17.50
Another highlighter to the list, I hadn't actually heard of this product or brand until recently but all their products look amazing! But I have seen quite a few people raving on about this product and I love highlighters as I like all that shimmers (that pun though)
