Summer Lush List

The sun is FINALLY making an appearance and I couldn't be happier!
I love preparing for this season, I change up everything, my clothes, my hair and even my make up!
My latest list contains some of the beauty items I've been luring after for summer.

Melt Cosmetics - The matte lipstick brand created by Instagram star now turned Riri's MUA Lora. Her and her partner in crime Dana have created a small but eye catching range of matte lipstick that I have been lusting over for some time now. 
I have my eye on DGAF, Blow and Shady Lady right now. The only thing putting me off is the shipping, but for these gorgeous lippies I'll just have to bite the bullet!

NARS Contour Blush in Geniah -  This is a product that NARS is due to release very soon! A contour duo with a lighter and darker shade to provide a more natural contour. I think it's a fab idea and Geniah really looks like a great shade for WoC. As it yet to be released feel free to grab some info regarding this duo from Temptalia

A La Carte London  Bespoke Foundation -  There is something about having your own bespoke foundation that fills me with  unexplained glee!

A La Carte offer bespoke make up for products such as lip glosses, lipstick and eye shadows but my eye is on the foundation.

A perfect match?! Yes please! 

Sugarpill Burning Heart Palette - After seeing this post I realised I needed a this palette in my life. I think matte yellows look amazing on darker skin tones and would really love to experiment with all the colours including the ever famous Poison Plum.

MAC Eye Shadow Palette - For the first time, a few weeks ago I went into MAC and swatched some of their eye shadows...this was a bad idea as I fell in love immediately! Initially I wanted to pick up the Warm Neutral palette when it landed but it wouldn't contain all the shades I wanted so I guess this summer I'll start creating my own MAC palette. 

Very excited...bank account is not!

Charlotte Tilbury The Perfect Vamp Kiss -  You guys already know about my lust over Charlotte's make up range. This kit looks perfect for me, the focus is on creating the perfect vamp lip, but wow, is this pricey! 

Alas, the heart wants what it wants!

Make Up Geek Pigments - I already have a few MUG products that I have found outstanding so I know these pigments will fit the bill.

These pigments come in a gorgeous array of shades and are heavenly pigmented. You can tell the MUG team put a lot of work into their products which is something I really love in a brand!

La Femme Blush Palette -  I'm not sure why I do not have a La Femme blush palette in my possession yet! From what I've seen La Femme blushers are pigmented, long wearing and fantastic in price with many shades that suit WoC. This is a must have, that I MUST HAVE!

MAC Lip Mix in Crimson - You can blame NikkieTutorials for this one, check out the AMAZING red lip she created with Crimson and Riri Woo. I've been obsessed with adding Crimson to my collection ever since. A MAC Pro product but worth the extra effort in my opinion!

What's on your summer make up wish list?

I love me some Nelly.com!

If you're not aware of Nelly.com, it is an online fashion site that holds brands from River Island to  Motel and Moschino. 

They also hold some of the best shoe sales my lil eyes have ever seen, see HERE for their ludicrously low prices!

I love the range of clothes they have and above I've picked out a select few to add to my Nelly wishlist.

Have you visited Nelly before?
How would you style some of the above?
Let me know!

Date Night Lush List

1/2/3/4/5/6

Every so often I find maturity hits me slap bang in the face without warning, this has been happening more often than not lately.

As is the case with this post, I was compiling  my 'lush list' when I realised my selections were quite grown and all 'date night' appropriate!
A great one for us singletons and loved up ladies too!

What do you like to buy for date night?
Will you be purchasing any of the above? Let me know!

Beauty Lush List

1/2/3/4/5/6

I'm a shopaholic!
A beauty shopaholic.
I have no idea where this obsession came from but in some cases, this obsession is slightly cheaper than your average shoe shopaholic.
Anyway, enough with trying to justify this, let me tell you about the beauty goodies I've been lusting over lately! 

1. Make Up Geek Eyeshadows Ultimate Palette - I have been lusting over these for ages! After coming across Marlena's Youtube page and seeing how pigmented her eyeshadows were and how gorgeous the colours were, I fell in love! These eyeshadows are a fraction of the MAC shadows and great for beginners or MUAs!

2. La Femme Blushes - No brainer really! Another case of great value and high pigmentation. I've begun to fall in love with blushes especially oranges however I would love to try out some of the Fuchsia shades that La Femme offer!

3. Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in 6.5 Warm Almond - Sometime last year I booked myself one of Bobbi Brown's Complimentary Make Up Lessons at Westfield White City. The consultant Lea was super helpful and one of the products she used and recommended for me was Skin Foundation. Very lightweight and natural, I loved the look and have been meaning to purchase this ever since.

4. Topshop Blush Stick in Acting Up - I had to throw this some Twitter love! Every so often a Topshop email ends up in my inbox and contains an item that makes me fall in love, in this case it was this blush stick. As you have already read above, I am now becoming blush obsessed, especially orange blushes! I have never owned a cream/waxy blush but when I saw Acting Up I knew that we were meant to be! I think this would be perfect for summer...if we ever get it. *sad face*

5. OCC Lip Tar in Black Dhalia - Yooooooo! This colour is GORGEOUS! I happened to come across this colour whilst browsing blogs and I immediately decided that I needed it in my life. Black Dhalia is a deep wine berry colour that sits gorgeously on lips (go on Google it, I'm sure you'll agree!)
I am waiting to see if OCC are going to be at IMATS for a cheeky lil discount if not I think I will have to shell out the moola for this bad boy!

6. Lime Crime Candy Future Lipstick in Poisonberry - I'm on a mission guys! To find the perfect purple lip! Don't ask me why! I just am damnit!! And I believe Poisonberry could help me out greatly with my mission. Posionberry is described as an opaque (winning!) violet purple berry, I mean, cmonnn! You cant get more purple than this! Absolutely lusting! All I need is a great lipgloss to go over it. 
Any suggestions?

All Black Everything

1/2/3/4/5/6

I'm tired of apologising for it!

I LOVE WEARING BLACK!

YEAH I SAID IT!

I've never been one to wear overtly colourful clothes and people used to bring me out on it but now I don't care!

I'm embracing my love of noir.

My spending ban means that I can only lust over these items for now, but between you and I that Lampart sweater is on it's way...drool!

(Disclaimer: I haven't broken my ban, brought the sweater before Lent! Hashtag - Winning!)

Please tell me I'm not alone in my love of all black errthang?

Christmas Wish List

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9





I'd be lying if I said Christmas was my favourite time of the year, in fact I find it stressful and the pressure is immense but that may be due to the fact that for the past few years I have been a poor student around Christmas time.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE Christmas day but the run up is just HECTIC!
I've decided to give my Christmas list a revamp this year, I do not expect all of the above for Christmas but hopefully I will be able to purchase a few of them in the next few up and coming months.

Do you think I'm being a bit premature with my list...then again Christmas does seem to appear earlier each year!

Any great minds sharing items on my list, lemme know!
