October Wishlist

It's that time of the month again and I've a list the length of my arm full of beauty items that I want. A girl can wish, but can't always afford hey! *Sob* I've been keeping lists of things I want the past month and I would love to put them all in one big wishlist, but it'd be too much! So I've picked a handful of products to put into this post. I hope you see something that takes your fancy! 

1.Urban Decay | Naked Basics Palette

I've wanted one of the Urban Decay Naked palettes for as long as I can remember, but I can't afford one being on a crappy budget. So the naked basics palette seems to be the easiest way out for me, and the shades are perfect. You can go quite plain and neutral or you can go smokey with the colours that are in it. This would be perfect for travelling, which I do a lot of lately!

2. Real Techniques | Powder Brush

I've built up quite a big collection of Real Techniques brushes over the last two years. I've been on the hunt for a good powder brush because the one I have has gone a bit too shabby to be honest. When I seen the Real Techniques one I decided I have to get it!

3. Real Techniques | Blush Brush

I know this is a 'blush brush', but I actually want to get this and try it out as another powder brush! It's so big and fluffy, I think it'd be perfect for powder. I don't wear a lot of blush so I don't think this one would ever be an actual blush brush for me. Although, never say never!

4. Lee Stafford | Treatment For Hair That Never Grows Past A Certain Length

What can I even say? I've wanted this treatment for so long and I've not bought it yet! Why not, Leanne?! The next time Boots have their '3 for 2' offer back on the Lee Stafford range, I'm going to be all over this. I've gone beyond wanting it now. I've seen far too many good reviews to pass it by again.

5. Benefit | They're Real Mascara

I'm all for my Maybelline Falsies and I've never really ventured out very far with mascaras. I have seen so many reviews about this mascara and the hype amongst the beauty blogger world has been absolutely crazy, I think I've definitely been persuaded enough to get it!

6. NYX | Jumbo Eye Pencil | 604 Milk

I think everyone needs a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in the shade Milk. It's the perfect product for making bright eyeshadows pop or any colour for that matter. Coming up to Halloween I think this would be a great purchase!

7. Hydraluron | Moisture Booster

I've generally quite oily to combination skin, but I went for a facial a while back and they told me that my skin was oily in areas but also really dehydrated in those areas. Which shocked me, because I moisturise all the time! Since then, I've stopped using harsh products on my face, even in oily areas. I wanted something to boost my skin and give it plenty of hydration, so when I seen a few reviews about this I decided this will be one of the products I'm going to go for!

What's on your wishlist this month? Do any of these products take your fancy? 

Have you got any of these already?

Thanks for reading!

Another Beauty Wishlist

Hello world! I hope you're all well! 

I was in such a blogging mood this week after recovering from being totally ill, I made a few blog posts and scheduled them. So therefore, MORE POSTS! Yay!

I decided to do a wishlist, actually three, maybe. Because I made three different lists of things I wanted in three different categories. Makeup, Clothes and Nail Art Accessories. So I've chose to do a makeup/skincare wishlist as a blog post to share with you all! I'll just get straight into it I guess.

Boots | Glycerin and Rosewater Toner

I've actually been looking for a toner for my face for ages now! I seen this on a YouTube beauty guru the other day and she was ranting and raving about it. I really want to try it! Plus it's a Boots brand, but you'd hardly notice it seeing as the icon is so tiny. It's £2.32, around €3, so not so bad! They also have a spritz spray but I think I'll try this one first.

Johnson's | Baby Oil

For the brushes that I own (though I am planning on buying a full set soon!), I started cleaning them with oil as it makes them so soft! I also want to use it for nail care AND hair care. You can use baby oil for a lot of things. I think I'd buy the 100ml, rather than the 500ml and see how long I get out of it before realizing I need the 500ml. In Boots this is £1.20 so it'd be around €1.50. You can pick these up in various pound shops as well though!

Johnson's | Baby Shampoo

This is the same price as the baby oil, and I'll also be using it for cleaning my makeup brushes! It's 100ml as well, and you can get it in 300ml too! I find the small travel sizes are handy for carrying around, if I was to go on holidays or anything these sizes are perfect! (Obviously Leanne, 'travel' size?)

Soap & Glory | Sugar Crush | Body Scrub

Even though this stuff looks nasty, really nasty.. I've heard endless reviews about it and how amazing it is! I don't ever use body scrubs, but I know if I buy this I'll probably never stop using them. Boots actually have a 3 for 2 sale on selected bath products and seeing as I really want to try this I might buy it along with some other random bits and bobs. This is £8 in Boots so probably €10! I hope I get it before the 3 for 2 offer ends because I really am keen to try some other Soap & Glory products.

Bourjois | Magic Nail Polish Remover

There has been SO much hype about this new invention of sticking your finger in a hole (of sponge covered in nail varnish remover, thanks very much!) and getting rid of all your nail varnish from your nail in 1second (obviously dramatic, I'd say about 5seconds at least! Do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) As soon as I heard about it I had to get it, so Boots here I come! In Boots it's £4.99 so about €6 for me. Unless I can find it in a pound shop, which a LOT of people are saying they have got lately. The one in the pound shops is called 'Twist & Out'.

Miners Cosmetics | Lipstick | Matte Effect Wonderland

I seen a fellow blogger, Tor, blog about Miners and I fell in love with the brand straight away! It's kind of like Essence and is a cheaper brand, yet still has amazing quality products! This red colour looks gorgeous and it's only £3.99, about €5 for me. That's a great price for such a beautiful colour.

Miners Cosmetics | Lipstick | Matte Effect Fiesta

This pink, is another colour from Miners lipstick range that I looooove. I'm in awe with this new (to me) brand and I'm absolutely dying to try out their products! This lipstick is also £3.99. I find this great that they're this price, as I don't wear too much lipstick because I always think it doesn't suit me. So instead of spending almost €20 on a MAC lipstick, I think it's way better to lose a fiver.

I'm also on the hunt for a brush set. I can't afford any of these €100 sets right now, I don't even have a job. I seen a few sets around town on the markets, but I'm too scared to buy them to be honest. There was one guy selling the whole Bobbi Brown brush range for €35. I was so close to buying it, then said no because if I was ripped of I'd go crazy and most possibly hurt him. Hehe. There was also a brush set for €20 in La Chica, in Dublin. But again, I'm afraid to buy it. I know eventually I'll give in and buy one or the other, but until then, let me know if you guys know any cheap ones I can buy, around Ireland.

Edited just before publishing: I was asking you guys on Twitter if you knew of any brush sets that are cheap yet good quality. A lot of people mentioned 'Real Techniques'. I made the decision that even though these brushes are dear-ish. I'm going to get them anyways. They're worth the price I suppose as they are real and if I look after them, I'll have them a long time. I'm planning on getting two sets which are on sale in Boots. Buy one get one half price! The 'Core Collection' and the 'Starter Set' It's going to cost me about €45 at the most, but I can't wait!

L-Core Collection & R-Starter Set

Last but certainly not least, I'm still looking for a neutral eye shadow palette. In which, I will be purchasing very, very soon. I am going to try get a brush set first though, so I can use it? Haha. 


What do you think of these products? Have you tried them before? Will you be trying them soon?

Thanks a mil for reading! Let me know what you think! If you've any comments, suggestions, questions etc. etc. email me, tweet me or leave them below! You know yourselves! :)

Lots of love,

Mini Haul

Over the past two weeks, I've picked up a few bits and bobs. There isn't actually much here! But seeing as I haven't blogged in a while (This is due to illness, I shouldn't even be on the laptop, but sssh!), I thought a 'mini haul' post would be an ideal short little post for me to write and you guys to read. If you want reviews on any of these products or have any questions, let me know! 

Paddle Brush | Primark

This paddle brush from Penneys/Primark was only €1.50 or €2. One of them prices anyways! And for this price, can you really go wrong? I love paddle brushes! 

Back Comb Brush | Primark

This back-comb brush is also from Primark and it was only €1.50. Though in fairness, I will most likely never use it. But it's always there if I need it!

Australian Skin Care Products | Health Express

I was in my local Health Express and seen a shelf full of these green tubes, ha!  There was shampoo and conditioner as well as these two. They were all on sale and they were running out pretty fast. The two I got were for my face. The one on the left, 'Tea Tree - Exfoliating Facial Wash', was just €2! The 'Tea Tree - Deep Cleansing Facial Mask', was also €2.

Nail Varnish Remover | Cutex | Health Express

This Cutex nail polish remover claims to be nourishing. That, we will see! Anyways, I had to grab this the other day in 'Health Express', as it, was on sale too. There was 25% off and it was only around €1.50. Which, personally, I thought was great!

Essence | Blush Brush | Primark

Primark are now selling Essence products. I can't remember how much I paid exactly for this brush, I think it was around €3 though! Also, I don't use this as a blush brush. I use it for contouring!

Catrice | Gel Eyeliner Brush

I was looking for a gel liner brush, for ages! I seen this one in my local pharmacy and thought I'd try it out. I loved the way it had the angled brush and also a little one for applying your eyeliner. This was between €3 and €5.

My next post will most likely be one on recently bought nail varnishes and make up. That's what I have planned anyways! I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I am quite ill at the moment and I'm hoping to be better soon.
And again, if you want reviews or have any questions about any of these products, let me know! You can e-mail me or comment below or tweet me etc. etc.

Love,
