Birthday wishlist






So its my birthday in 23 days. Yes I'm counting down already! I thought i would just  do a post of some of the things i am hoping to get.

001. Body shop Vanilla body mist - I went in to the body shop yesterday and smelt this as everyone raves about it! I now understand why its gorgeous. Its not too expensive either , i think its something like £7 which is a great price for the amount you get.

002. Stila written in the stars eye shadow palette- I like most girls love neutral colours on my eyes , they are suitable for everyday. When I first saw this palette i fell in love its perfect for my everyday neutral eyes! This palette is around the £15 -£17 mark.

003. Models own Indian Ocean  nail polish - This nail polish has been raved about a lot and I'm in love with it without even trying it. Every time i go in to boots i go and pick this up and stand there thinking should i buy it but i haven't yet! Its a gorgeous blue/purple colour and I've herd so many good things about it. Its only £5 which i don't think its too bad for a good nail polish.

004. Diesel Loverdose perfume  - I first smelt this perfume when my friend had it at school and i always asked to use it. It smells devinne. I've been wanting it ever since then. This perfume is around £30 which is great for an amazing perfume.

005. Models own Ibiza mix nail polish - I've also been lustering over this nail polish for a while. I've seen loads of people with this over the top of their nail polish and it just looks gorgeous. I cant wait to get this myself. Again this is only £5 which is great.

005. The perks of being a wallflower book - I've actually already read this! I like most other people that have read this fell in love with it. I loved it so much that i want my own copy of it. Its an amazing book and i cant wait to read it again. If you haven't read this yet you should go pick up a copy and read it now! You can get this book for about £6-£8.

There are some of the things i have asked for for my birthday! I am not expecting it all and i will be very happy with what ever my family and friends get me.
If you would like a birthday haul after my birthday obviously. Just let me know in the comments.
What do you think of these products? Have you tried any of them?

Review: Benefit BadGal mascara


 Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Benefit Badgal mascara. I like most bloggers got this free with the Glamour magazine in July ,after spending a while choosing which free product I wanted - I'm so glad I chose this. I have fallen it love with it , which I guess is a good and a bad thing because I may have found my holy grail mascara but the price for the full size is a bit expensive. I think its something like £16.

Most reviews I have read on this product have been mainly negative and people haven't liked this but I am very happy to say that I obviously love this mascara!
First of all I love the packaging of this mascara it looks so sleek. The wand in this mascara is quite big as you can see but that's the type of wand I like , so I suggest if you don't like that stay away from this mascara. I find this mascara gives my lashes lots of volume and makes them look incredible. The best thing about this mascara is that it looks so natural and leaves your lashes looking curled all day and also it doesn't flake off like some mascaras do.
I really do think I'm going to have to just pay out the £16 for this mascara or find a new favourite. I will let you know if i find a new one or buy this one.




Have you tried this mascara? What did you think of it?
Hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if want more review on products I've tried.

Tag: This or that?

Hey guys!
I've never actually done a tag on my blog before but I came across this one on natalielovesbeauty 's blog and you can see her post here.


Blush or bronzer? 
Well definitely blush, if you know me you will know i love my blush. I don't tend to wear bronzer as I find I'm actually too pale for it. Which is a shame.

Lipgloss or lipstick?
Lipstick! I don't really get on very well with lipgloss because they are usually too sticky and I don't like my lips really glossy, I do love the BarryM lipglosses though!

Chapstick or lip butter?
Honestly it has to be chapstick I'm obsessed with them. A bit sad I know but you always need them so you can never really have too many! I've never actually tried a lip butter before but would love to so leave recommendations below please.

Matte or shimmery eye shadow?
I'm stuck in the middle here because I love both but not too shimmery but I guess if I had to choose between them it would be matte. I just love the look it gives.

Gel, Liquid, Cream or pencil eyeliner? 
Well I actually only wear eyeliner on my waterline so it's going to have to be pencil.

Foundation or concealer? 
Concealer! That was a tough one but I can live without foundation.

Liquid or powder foundation? 
Liquid just because of the range of coverage it gives. I don't really like using powders if I'm honest.

Neutral or statement eye?
Neutral obviously! Who doesn't love neutral eye shadow.

Pressed or loose shadows?
Pressed , I hate using loose shadows there just way too messy for me.

Waterproof or non waterproof?
Non waterproof. Its so much easier to take off.

Brushes, sponges or fingers? 
Honestly brushes. Its so much easier to apply everything with brushes. Id love to know what i did without them!

Powder, Cream or liquid highlighter? 
Powder! They give a lovely look to your face. I didn't get on well with the liquid highlighter I own.

That's it, I tag you all to do it!
Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Review: Natural Collection Blush - Peach Melba

natural collection blush -Peach melba 



So just another quick review. Well hopefully quick anyway. 
The natural collection blushers are talked about a lot in the blogisphere especially pink cloud which i myself haven't yet tried but im hoping to pick it up soon. But yeah this is another natural collection blush that i don't think is raved about enough. It is a lovely everyday peach shade which is suitable for all year round. I apply this using the e.l.f stipple brush which you can buy here. I find that using this brush gives a natural finish to the look. The natural collection blushers are only available in Boots and it is one of there own brands. The blushers only cost £1.99 so they are really worth picking up and trying even if you don't like them. Some reviews have said that the pan has fallen out before they even open the blush but i haven't had this problem.

Do you own any natural collection blushers ? 
What ones do you own ?
