Beauty Wish List | August





Okay so it's only been three weeks since I did my July Beauty Wish list, but there are already so many new products I'm lusting over and thought I would share with you.


Too Faced Cosmetics Sweetheart Perfect Flush Blush - £24
I know £24 is a lot to spend on a blush, that's more than the cost of Nars blushes which are some of the best around. However, the packaging on this is just so gorgeous, it's very vintage looking and would look great on a dressing table. Having seen swatches and reviews it looks like a lovely colour to suit all complexions. There are three sections to the blush which I love as it' almost like a three-in-one product.

Benefit Stay Flawless Primer - £24.50
I must be one of the only beauty bloggers around to have never tried a primer by Benefit. I have heard so many rave reviews about their new primer. I've heard it's supposed to act like a magnet between your skin and the foundation and helps your foundation last for a very long time. I reall want to try this

Benefit Cha Cha Tint - £24.50
I've also never tried any of Benefit's cheek and lip stains. I love stains, they last all day without me needing to worry about touching them up. I love the colour of this and think it would look great on both the lips and cheeks.

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Peach on the Beach - £7.99
My favourite lip products of all times are the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains from last summer, I wear them all the time. I've been told these are a bit similar, but are even better. I'm therefore so excited to try these out, I really want Peach on the Beach as it looks like such a gorgeous, wearable colour and is nothing like anything I already own.

Bourjois Eyeliner in Pinceau Noir - £6.99
I need a new liquid eyeliner as my beloved Benefit Magic Ink is coming to the end of it's lifespan. I have been looking at countless reviews and have decided to try a drugstore/highstreet eyeliner as I've always used high-end liquid liners. I've heard nothing but good things about this eyeliner, and love how intense it looks in swatches.

Lush Skin Drink Moisturiser - £11.95
I have such dry skin and most moisturisers do nothing for me. I've never actually tried anything from Lush but have always heard great things about their skincare line. I really need a new moisturiser and the name of this just really attracts me, my skin definitely needs a drink - or ten.

Marc Jacobs Honey Eau de Parfum 50ml - £50
Okay, so I know this is quite expensive. I've never tried a Marc Jacobs perfume before but have heard so much about them. I also really love the colourful bottle this perfume comes in. I really love the scent of it and am in need of a new perfume as mine's almost run out.

Stila Convertible Colour Trio in Cool - £23
I only have one Stila Convertible Colour but really love and think they are brilliant cream blushes. I saw this and instantly fell in love. I think £23 is a great price for 3 really good quality blushes. I also love how handy it would be for traveling (which I do a lot of as I'm at uni) and I love the colours.

The Vintage Cosmetics Company Fantail Brush - £14
I've decided recently that I'd really like to add a fantail brush to my collection. I didn't think they were that useful but having read quite a few reviews they seem brilliant for highlighting. I've also seen a lot about the Vintage Cosmetics Company brushes, not only do they look really sweet with their pink/white packaging, but they are also supposed to be great quality.

The Body Shop Baked to Last Bronzer in Warm Glow - £16
I've never tried any of the Body Shop's makeup products but have heard good things. I'm really into trying to find highstreet/drugstore bronzers at the moment and love the baked look of this one - reminiscent of MAC MSFs. It's a bit pricier than most highstreet bronzers but I've heard really good reviews. It's also supposed to quite a pale bronzer, which is good as it will be less harsh on my very fair skin.

So that's it, I'd love to hear what your wishlists are for the month of August in the comments below. If you own any of these things, I'd also love to hear your thoughts and opinions on them.

Until next time,

Beauty Wish List | July



1. Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Fiber Set - £23.99
I've never tried Real Techniques brushes but I've heard so much good stuff about their brushes. I love duo fiber brushes and when I saw this kit I knew I wanted it.

2. Sleek MakeUP Blush by 3 Palette in Sweet Cheeks - £9.99
I already blogged about how much I love the Sleek MakeUP Blush by 3 palettes here, and this is their newest offering. I really love the colours in this palette and think that they would look great for the summer.

3. Pixi Early Bird Kit - £16
Every since I saw this I knew I wanted it, its a huge makeup kit with so many products. It has eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, a highlighter and powder shades. I think this would be really great for travelling, which I do quite a bit, as it contains most the makeup that I use on an everyday. I also haven't tried any stuff from Pixi before, so this would be a great introduction to the brand

4. Rimmel Apocalips in Big Bang - £5.99
I've been lusting after these for ages as I love the idea of a cross between a lipstick and a lipgloss. I'm particularly interested in the red shade having seen swatches of it on other people.

5. MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Light - £22
I've been after this for a while. I want a new powder to set my makeup and would like to try a non-translucent powder (what I currently use) to see if that makes a difference. I have heard really good things about how this product leaves your skin looking so really want to try it out.

6. Essie Nail Polish in Mint Candy Apple £7.99
I only have one Essie nail polish and really want to expand my collection. Mint Candy Apple seems to be a colour that everyone has and I think its a great colour for the summer.

7. Bobbi Brown Navy and Nude Palette - £48
I really like the look of this. I love nude colours and think the pop of Navy adds a nice twist to the palette. It also looks really compact and easy to carry around - something which I always look for in a eyeshadow palette. As much as I love Urban Decay Naked, it is a pain to carry places due to its size, you can't just put it in a handbag.

8. Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder in 02 Blondes - £34
I've never tried anything from Guerlain but I really want to. I'm on the look out for a new bronzer and have heard good things about this. Not only does it look pretty, I've heard its quite a light bronzer. As I'm pale a lot of bronzers require a of blending on my skin to look natural, so this looks like it would suit my skin better.

9. Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Colour in Naked - £14
I love lip products in pencil form, I just find them so much easier to apply. I really like the look of this colour from Urban Decay as it seems to be a good natural lip colour. I also like the concept of the pencils too.

10. L'oreal Superliner Black Lacquer - £6.49
I've always heard good things about the L'oreal liquid eyeliners and this one seems to be one of the most popular. My current liquid eyeliner is nearly finished, so I'd love to try this one out. It's a great price too.

11. Bobbi Brown Brightening Brick - Pink - £40
This is described as being similar to the shimmer bricks, but a bit more subtle, offering a 'glow from within'. I've always wanted a shimmer brick but have worried about how shimmery they seem to be, this seems to be a great alternative to highlight the cheeks without going overboard.

12. Illamasqua Precision Gel Eyeliner - £18
In this post I spoke about how much I loved gel eyeliner, and how Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner was one my favourite products ever. I love Illamasqua and would say it is one of my favourite makeup brands, I have never been dissapointed by a product I've bought from them. When I found out they had brought out a gel eyeliner, I knew I had to try it.

That's my current most wanted beauty items. Do you want any of these items as bad as I do? Let me also know the current beauty items you are lusting for in the comments.

That's all for now,
