Christmas Wish List

Hello all, December is soon approaching so I thought it would be a good time to do my Christmas wish list. Here are a couple of things I have asked for this year and a couple of favourites. I will explain what I like about them down before. 

Michael Kors Selma handbag- This is by far my favourite bag by Michael Kors. I love this because it's a take on the classic satchel. I think Kors has done a good job at modernising this bag and making it more fashionable for the current market. This bag comes in a number of colours I think that my favourite is the Gommet black. I like it more than the black because I think that the studs make the bag more stylish. 

Michael Kors purse- Although his handbags are my favourites I do absolutely love his purses, I think for a designer they aren't particular expensive. There are so many purses to chose from is so many different colours, you're certainly going to find one to suit your style. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy - this was on my Christmas list up until this week. I manage to get this for free off one of my best friends because she works in the perfume shop (Thanks Olivia) I love the smell of this because it's so sweet and so refusing. I absolutely love all Marc Jacobs perfumes but this is by far my favourite. If you want a perfume to buy your sister, girlfriend, mum etc I think this is the perfect perfume. 

Platform Chelsea Boots - These boots are from Topshop and I absolutely love them, I think they are great because they are so sturdy. I really want these over normal Chelsea boots due to my height - I am very short, therefore these boots make me look slightly taller. I am also getting these because I get quite a big discount in Topshop due to where I work.  

Real technique make up brushes - I absolutely love Real Technique brushes which is why I really want to get these.  I currently only have the blush brush therefore I would love these to add to my collection. I know that these brushes are incredibly popular due to how soft they are. 

I would just like to say that this isn't about me bragging, I've just done this so others can get some ideas. Also I am writing this on my mobile so I do apologies if the formatting is very bad, I currently have no laptop due to it needing repairing.

The ‘Would You Rather’ Tag: Makeup Edition!

So I got tagged by Daisy at Daisy's World so I thought I would give this tag a go seeing as I have a bit of spare time today.

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows? 
I thought this would be easy but it's not I would have to say lose my eyeshadow palette as I only own one but it's my Naked 2 palette. As much as I love it I couldn't deal with no lipstick that would most probably kill me. 

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again? 
Chop all of my hair of definitely because then I could regrow it again. My hair gets split ends really easily so it would be awful if I never cut it again. 

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? 
Well right now I own Nars orgasm so I'm going to have to go with a pink cheek. 

4. If you had £1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup? 
Oh definitely clothes, as much as I love makeup I think you can never have too much clothes. I spend it all in heaven (aka topshop)

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick? 
Oh god I would have to say eyeliner as lipstick, although I only wear black eyeliner. Can you imagine trying to apply bright red lipstick to your eyelids... no thanks. 

6. Would you rather only shop at Mac or Sephora? 
I've only ever shopped in Sephora twice and while I love it, I have an obsession with Mac and if I could afford it then I would own everything Mac. 

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip color for the rest of your life? 
One eyeshadow colour, I use so many different lipsticks that I need for different occasions. 

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer, or summer clothes in the winter?
Winter clothes in the summer, as in the UK we don't get much of a summer it wouldn't be fine, plus I love winter clothing a lot more than summer clothing. 

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round? 
I would have to say dark because at work were not aloud bright nail polish so I would be a bit buggered. 

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
Lip product because there are so many lip products I like so one wouldn't one a miss while giving up my Naked 2 would haunt me for the rest of my life. 

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
I used to always wear my hair in a bun but I would say ponytail as I love a high ponytail. 

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?
I actually very rarely wear lip gloss and you will never see me without nail polish so definitely lip gloss. 

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
I thought I would never say this but shave them all off, I can't be dealing with girls that have extreme thick eyebrows, so I would just use my Rimmel eyebrow pencil to do them. 

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
As much as I love nail polish I have worn make up since I was 13 years old and therefore there is no chance I could live without it. 

I tag Abi at Dainty A but I think that everybody should have a go at this it was so much fun! 

Until Next Time

Daily Makeup

If there is one thing that I love more than clothes than it's makeup, I have an obsession with high end and high street makeup. I tend to buy a lot of my makeup in Boots and Superdrug but I do occasionally splash out. This is makeup that you will tend to see me wearing on a typical day, it sometimes varies but this is what I tend to wear of a day or a night. 

Foundation - Studio Fix Fluid When I went to New York in 2010, I decided to try out Mac before then I had really trouble finding a colour with good coverage and one which wouldn't make me look orange. The makeup artists found my colour.. and I haven't looked back. I would recommend Mac foundation to everyone I know that it's a bit pricey but it's seriously worth the money I would never use another foundation again. 

Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection - The amount of concealers I've gone through in the last few years is unreal I think I've tried every drugstore concealer there is. I have only been using this one for a few months and it's absolutely amazing the coverage is flawless, I think this is as good of a concealer as you can get. It is also seriously cheap so it makes up for the costly foundation. 

Face Powder - Maybelline FIT ME - I have to say I really liked this powder to start with but I've recently gone off it. The powder gives you really good coverage and lasts for a long time on your face. The only problem I find with this is that it can make you look incredibly orange on a high tech camera. I spend a lot of time in front the camera (i'm a film and televison student) and when finally in natural light it can make you look really dark. Would anybody be able to recommend a powder that won't make me go so orange? 

Blusher - Nars Orgasm - This blush is quite frankly the best thing I have ever bought, I brought this in the summer when I was in America and although I think that Nars is incredibly pricey it is such a good blusher that I would definitely get it again, the colour is sensational and last's all day which I think is really great as very few blushers do these days. 

Eye Shadow - Urban Decay -Naked 2 - This is the only eye shadow that I will wear, it is quite literally the best eye shadow out. Again this is very expensive but I think it is most definitely worth it. The is a variety of colours that you can mix to get different combinations. Each of the colours are great and I use every single one of them. 

Eyeliner - Rimmel Eyeliner Pencil and Rimmel Exaggerate-Eyeliner - When it comes to eyeliner I don't think there is anyone better than Rimmel, I swear by these. The exaggerate eyeliner is great if you know how to apply it, if you're a beginner I wouldn't recommend this as it can be tricky to apply. The colouring of this is great as it never fades, also similar to the pencil the colour never fades and doesn't make you look like you have bags after a long day. 

Eyebrow pencil - Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil - I have always hated my eyebrows because they were so dark, thick and bushy, but after learning how to take care of them I literally swear by this product, I think that eyebrow are the most important feature to your face, good eyebrows can go a long way. This product is incredibly cheap and worth the money if they have your colour. 

Lipsticks - There are two types of lipsticks that I stand by - MUA & Rimmel - Kate. MUA are great as they are only £1 and for a day to day lipstick I will use shade 6, I think it's a great bright colour which lasts all day. For an evening or going out look I always go to Rimmel and I recently purchased Kate 107. This lipstick is rated so highly and I know so many people that have got it. I think these are a must have. 

Make up brushes - MAC Foundation Brush and Real Techniques Blush Brush - MAC brushes are very expensive but they are absolutely amazing I think that they are worth it if you want a brush that is going to last you a long time and still manage to give you excellent coverage. The blush brush is the only Real Techniques brush that I own, I would love some more for Christmas I think that these are amazing because they are so soft and smooth, they feel so nice against your face. 

Until Next Time
