Current Addictions | Collab With My Little Blogging Oasis




This is a post on my current addictions there have been a few things beauty and non beauty that I have been loving lately. This is also a collab post with Aneesa from http://mylittlebloggingoasis.blogspot.co.uk.

I just can't get enough of my phone case from Iconemesis which has already featured in a previous post, I just love the design so much and its just so pretty. You can tell I have been loving blues lately just from the pictures above but I have been using these two Barry M Gelly High Shine in the shades Blueberry (top) and Sky Blue (bottom). I have always loved the Gelly range from Barry M but recently I have been reaching for these colours all the time! My last beauty related favourite has been a lip balm from La Roche-Posay, the lip balm is really moisturising and sorted my chapped lips out within a few days. The lip balm also leaves the lips feelings moisturised for hours which is great.

My last favourite which is none beauty related is Prison Break I started watching it a few weeks ago and I am already on the last season. The program is so intense and I always end up watching way more episodes at a time than I should but it is so gripping I don't want to stop watching it. I have been watching it on Netflix and can't wait to see how it ends!

Thank you for reading this post remember to check out Aneesa's post to find our her current addictions. http://mylittlebloggingoasis.blogspot.co.uk

Summer Wishlist 2015



Now that the weather in England has decided to turn hot although I don't hold out much hope in it staying this way for very long, as you all know how unpredictable English weather is. Anyway I finally thought it was a good time to post my summer wishlist.

The first beauty product that has made it's way onto my wishlist is the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow after hearing so many amazing things about this product it has made me want it even more. I might have to pick it up on my next trip to Selfridges. The second beauty product that is on my summer wishlist is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation this is another product that everyone always seems to be raving about. I do prefer a lighter foundation in the summer so maybe I will have to give Nars Sheer Glow a go and see if it lives up to expectations.

Moving onto non beauty.. I have been eyeing up the Kate Spade Cedar Street Hayden bag for a long time now. Its such a simple bag but I feel like I need to add it to my collection as I would get so much wear out of it and its just so pretty. As it is summer I really want a pair of White Joni Jeans from Topshop as these are like a summer fashion essential. I have so many tops that would go perfectly with a pair of white high wasted jeans!

Pandora recently released their new Rose Gold collection and everything is so pretty (I want it all). I really like the Pandora Rose Gold Bow Ring it is so simple and elegant but also so pretty and I love it. I am into simple jewellery so this is right up my street. I have wanted a polaroid camera for ages and the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 are so cute and its a really cool thing to have in the summer as I can take it with me and take pictures of my summer adventures.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what is on your wishlist this summer!

Milani Cosmetics





I have wanted to try some products from Milani Cosmetics for a very long time, in the UK it is hard to find Milani products so I ordered these from Beauty Crowd. I was very happy to finally get my hands on some Milani products!

I got a Colour Statement Lipstick in the shade Nude Creme, it's a pinky nude which applies beautifuly and lasts ages once on the lips. The lipstick has a sheen to it but isn't at all glossy it is more of a satin finish. It looks lovely with a smokey brown eye and its a very everyday lipstick that is easy to pull off.

I also got a  Rose Powder Blush in the shade Romantic Rose, these blushers are so pigmented you need to tiniest amount of product to get a good colour pay off. The texture is really smooth and buttery so the blusher applies very smoothly to the skin and last ages. I also picked up a Illuminating face powder in the shade Beauty's Touch, I use this to highlight the tops of my cheek bones it comes out as a pinky highlight once all the shades are swirled together. Both the blusher and illuminator are very pretty to look at and I almost don't want to use them and ruin their prettiness.

Drugstore Favourites | Collab With Life of Liv




I am finally sharing some of my favourite drugstore products with you. This is a collab with the lovely Liv from http://lifeeoflivv.blogspot.co.uk in her post she is sharing some of her favourite high end products so make sure you check out Liv's post as well!

I am going to start off by mentioning one of my favourite drugstore brands which is Soap and Glory they have so many amazing products and everyone is always raving about their products. I love the One Heck of a Blot powder which is a translucent mattifying powder. This powder is my holy grail it is literally the only powder I need, it makes everything stay in place all day! Also from Soap and Glory is the SuperCat eyeliner, I have used this eyeliner for months now and I am still loving it! It is so easy to use and so pigmented and stays in place all day and doesn't smudge all over the place like a lot of eyeliners tend to do.

I can't do a drugstore favourites post without mentioning the Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, I have done a whole post raving about how good this contour kit is so I won't blabber on about it too much but it is the perfect contour kit if you are just starting out with makeup or are on a budget. It is so pigmented and blends beautifully! Everything you want in a contour kit right?

I also have to mention the Maybelline Colour Tattoos everyone seems to love this and I do too! These are such an affordable cream eye shadow which are insanely pigmented and so easy to blend and use. They come in loads of different colours as well so there is one for every look.

Lastly I need to mention my favourite lip product from the drugstore. I have always loved the Bourjois Colour Boost chubby sticks. They are so moisturising and have an amazing range of colours! My favourite shade has got to be '07 Proudly Naked' it is the perfect everyday pinky nude.

Make sure you remember to check out Liv's high end beauty favourites which will be up over on her blog! http://lifeeoflivv.blogspot.co.uk

Recent Buys and New Found Loves #2



All three of these recent purchases have found their way into my new favourite products. I was in need of a new eyeliner and I finally decided to try the Magic Liner from Topshop after hearing so many people rave about this product. I love how thin the pen of the eyeliner is so you can easily achieve the perfect cat eye. I also love how pigmented this eyeliner is its so black which is great as you only have to do the line once instead of going over it a few times.

I also recently picked up the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer which I have wanted for ages! I finally decided to get in when I was in Bluewater the other day. I finally got colour matched and finally got the concealer. I am loving it so far, it is very high coverage so you need a tiny bit. I am so happy I finally picked up this concealer, think it has beat my old favourite which was the collection lasting perfection concealer (predicable I know).

The last product that I have recently purchased is the Benefit Watts Up Highlighter. I have always loved Benefit products and really wanted to try something else from the brand so I picked up this highlighter. It is a soft champagne cream highlighter which blends beautifully and lasts on the skin all day!

Hope you have enjoyed this post! Is there any products that you think I should try out leave me a comment and let me know.
