Make-up Wishlist

Hello lovelies, so recently it was my birthday and I got lots of amazing bits and bobs, which you will have seen down below. But because of some of the things I got, it's made me youtube crazy on makeup and I now have a full on (and expensive) wishlist to get!




My first is the Hoola benefit bronzer, I really want this to start contouring my face, it's something i've never done properly, and on the majority of the youtube channels, they all recommend this! This is not on the cheap side however, it is £23.50 online, which you can get here. But I will most likely buy it in Boots.






Another product that I really like the looks of that makes contouring look like a breeze! Is this brush - NARS 'Ita' brush. Which again is not on the cheap side. It is £35.16 for this brush and you can get it online here. I'm not sure what stores it is available in as i've never seen this brand before, but let me know if you guys know where to get it!






Now my next one I have two very similar products on my wishlist and I will only get one, I just haven't decided which yet. Both reviews are good, so it will probably be based on price is how I decide. These are actually very reasonably priced, the first one is the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner, which is £7.99 in both Boots & Superdrug. And you can get that online, here. Secondly there is the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner, which is currently on offer for £4.99 at boots, and £6.99 in Superdrug. You can get there online, here. I am more likely to buy the Rimmel one first I think, but I may buy both and do a review of both.



















Now I'm not quite sure on this one, I really wanted to find a drugstore primer that was affordable for re-purchasing. I've only ever had the MAC primer, and i've just never really tried out any others. So I took to youtube once again and I found this.

This has good reviews and it is quite affordable at £12.50 from Boots, I definitely want to try this out and if you guys want I will review this product because all the ones I found were quite dated. But it claims to do everything I want it to do, so I will be trying this out! And you can get this online, here.





And then finally the last thing on my wishlist is the real techniques miracle complextions sponge, this is basically a cheaper version of the beautyblender, but the reviews seem good and as i've never used the beautyblender before, this will do me just fine. It is £5.99 from Boots, here.







And that is everything... for now. I will probably go get a lot of this stuff when my student loan comes in, because what else are they for? (Disclaimer: I know they are to actually pay rent a live off, don't worry guys)

Thanks for reading and if you have any of these products already, tell me what you think of them!

Birthday Haul!!

Hello lovelies, So the 27th of August was my 20th birthday, and my gosh was I spoilt! And i'm writing you a blogpost about all the wonderful things I got this year.


So I was so lucky this year, I was a bit down about it as not a lot of people were around for it and I wasn't expecting much at all because we are in the process of looking for a car for me, so I thought all the money would go toward that. However I got thoroughly spoilt! This is just a look into a few of my favourite presents.


So I'll start with Marvin. Marvin is the teddy bear you can see, he is a build-a-bear teddy (the ones where you go pick the teddy, you stuff them with the stuffing then put a heart inside him and sew him up and they come alive) And he has a little birth certificate and everything, I love him. This was from my boyfriend and all he needs now is a little bow tie.

Then Marvin is kindly holding my Naked 3 palette! I've wanted one of these for forever, and I can't wait to get experimenting with it!


Next I got some headphones, I am normally just using some stick in headphones and recently they have been playing up a bit, so these seem great! And they are obviously a lot cheaper than say Beats or other competitors.


 Now you may be looking at the bottom right hand corner and going, is she 3? no my friend, minions are my favourite thing in the world, and my best friend went above and beyond! I got minion everything, those are just two of the things in that picture. She even made me a minion birthday cake!! (Pictures will be down below).


Another one of my favourites is my Pandora Ring. It is from the birthstone ring collection and it is the month of March. This is another gift from my boyfriend and his birthday is in March, and it just so happened that this gemstone was my favourite one. I believe it is aquamarine.


And then finally, the best till last. This was the biggest surprise of the day, I was not expecting this in the slightest! I now own my very own Michael Kors bag, and it is perfect!



Honestly I am so over the moon with this. When i opened it I couldn't stop shaking for ages afterwards.













Then I had several surprises throughout the day...


 I got this amazing bouquet of Roses delivered from my boyfriend who sadly couldn't be with me on my birthday.





Then this amazing minion cake!! which tasted just as good as it looked.











Overall I had such a lovely day surrounded by love, and I am so grateful.
Thanks for reading guys,
