Wishlist

Hey there!

I've not written a wishlist for a ridiculous amount of time, which is quite funny as I can't afford to buy anything but still want everything.

So without further rambling, here is what's on my wishlist right now:

Lorna Jane - Everything!

I've seen and heard a lot about Lorna Jane, one day I will own such beauties!

Above are the Storm Core Ankle Biter Tights, and they are wonderful. You can view them on the Active in Style site by clicking here for £63.

I've also got my eye on this bra:

It's the Lumineer Sports Bra and comes in at £46.

I absolutely love the design with the subtle print and the cross back, its gorgeous and functional and I need it in my fitness bag. It might make me run faster right? Right.

Zoeva - Rose Golden Vol. 2 Brush Sets

Who doesn't love rose gold? And who doesn't love brush sets?

Which is why it is so hard to ignore these beauties, I picked two sets as I couldn't choose one!

Both of these sets cost £65 each which for brushes of this variety and quality is quite good. And they're pretty! I think i could always do with more brushes generally but the eye brush set is probably the number one priority for me, I never seem to have enough and there's such a good variety there I want to test them all out.

It's unlikely I will ever buy these for myself so I think it's safe to say they will be staying on my wishlist for a while, but if some money does come my way some time soon I will be running to Beauty Bay to snap them up.

Rebecca Stella Squad Palette

Rebecca Stella hasn't really popped up on my radar before, but with my new found love for YouTube I saw the Squad Palette on 'Meg Says' and wow isn't it the dream??

I love the matte colours and can see they would be used a lot for day wear. There's even one with a slight shimmer for a highlight and the best part?

This brand is totally cruelty free! M has been super conscious of this now she has her bunnies and it is always better to buy from a brand that doesn't test on animals so we are actively trying to learn more.

When brands like this produce lovely palettes like this why would you get anything that had been tested on an animal?!

You can browse Rebecca Stella on her website here, the Squad Palette is £32 (They also have a contour palette.....eeek!)

Nike - LunarGlide 7 MP - £115

There's not really much to be said about these absolutely gorgeous and super wonderful running trainers.....apart from, drool with me.

Kat Von D Shade and Light Eye Contour Palette Review

Hey all

As soon as the Kat Von D make up hit the scene I knew I had to have some. I'm still desperate for the liquid liner, liquid lipsticks and the foundations as they're meant to be great for pale skin tones. My first product was the Shade and Light Eye Contour Palette. I initially wanted the contour palette but opted for this instead. 

I was drawn to the eye palette as it was a totally matte palette (something I didn't previously own) and the top three shades were large pans and I thought I could use them as contour and highlight shades and get a multi use from these palettes. I love that it comes with some ideas for looks to create to so is great for beginners or to help grow make up confidence. 

Apologies for the used palette photos. I initially took them brand new but wasn't happy with them when I uploaded them. The palette contains 12 different shades set up in three sections. The large shade is meant to be the base, the 1st shade underneath the contour, the second shade define and the third shade highlight. All the colours are really pigmented and blend out easily. I don't tend to follow what the shades are for and mix it up. I love that it comes with warm and cool tone so will suit most skin tones!!

Here I used the large shade called Lazerous to add some definition in the creases Laetus and Lucious on the lid. I love using these shades for a natural eye look. Lazerous also works as a great brow shade.

Here I went heavier with the colours and blended lots of the brown shades through the outer v to deepen it. The colours all blend really well together. I've also used Lazerous to contour here and Laetus to set under the eyes. I love this as a contour shade. It looks so natural against my pale skin as it's more of a taupe shade. I'm wearing the lip liner featured on the blog on Monday Rimmel 1000 kisses in Tiramisu. With Revlon Mauve it Over (which I've now learnt is discontinued, sad times !!)

I love this palette and can't wait to try more of the Kat Von D range, the foundation is next on my list. I'm tempted to purchase a sample of it to try out. It's not the easiest make up range to get but Sephora do now ship to the UK. I personally use a facebook group to order my American make up from. 

How do you get American products? Have you tried Kat Von D products?

Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner Review - Tiramisu

Hey All

Today I wanted to share one of my favourite lip liners at the moment. Rimmel do really affordable lip liners that are great. They are only £2.99 each.

The 1000 kisses lip liner are a traditional pencil type which means it does require sharpening but my preferred type as it has more product than a twist up one.  I've tried and use lots from this range as they are super affordable, last really well and have a great range of colours.

Tiramisu is a great everyday colour and if I can find a lip liner to match my lipstick I tend to reach for this one. Above you can see it just outlining the lips and below you can see the colour when it's all filled in. It would be a great one for those Kylie Jenner lips but for me I can't get into the slight over lining of the lips it tends to make it look like a child has applied my make up!

Tiramisu is a warm nude lip colour. For a long time I never used lip liner except with a red but I use it with all lipsticks now and this or Rimmel Addiction are the colours I reach for the most. I love the finish liner gives to the lipstick as it gives it a much better edge and makes it last better.

Have you tried Rimmel Liners? I'll be putting this one on today as L and I are off to watch the Rugby. It'll be a tense match for us!

Lush Ladybird Bubble Bar

Good morning everyone!

I've been working my way through the wonderful products I picked up recently at the Lush Spring event which you can read about here.

My bath this week was with the Ladybird Bubble Bar - it's such a cutie!

I haven't used many bubble bars before so this was a new experience for me, and also the smell was so intriguing.
As I've mentioned many times I'm quite sensitive to smells and sometimes they are overpowering, this one is not like that at all. How can you resist such a cute bubble bar with the bug eyes??

This one contains geranium and peppermint oil so is both relaxing and invigorating, it would be a great one to have in the morning if there was enough time!

I crumbled this under running water and watching the bubble multiply, I actually only used half of this bar as I wanted to save it but next time the whole thing is going in!

Lorna from Lush Cardiff told us the best thing for these is to use a sieve, I have now bought one ready to use the other half and can't wait to see how much more bubbly it gets.

My bathroom (and me!) smelled amazing after this bath and I may have to purchase a few more of these lovely little bugs before they stop selling them. The only cost £3.95 each

Have you tried the Ladybird? Do you prefer bubble bars or bath bombs?
