Wishlist June '13

I am very sorry about the shoddy, rushed looking post. After finding all of the products I wanted and gathering them all in one place I couldn't wait to get it up! I'll probably edit the images at a later date but for now, here's my June wishlist and also my first wishlist!

1. Origins Zero Oil

I've had my eye on this for quite a while. I do have quite oily/combination skin and sometimes I find my foundation just starts to look slippery and shiny - and not in the glorious glowing sort of way. This promises to keep your face looking matte all day so is definitely something I need to get my hands on.

2. Topshop Lipstick in WHIMSICAL 

Being one of those ladies who has far too many reds and dark shaded lipsticks this is definitely something I'd like purchase, and at the price you certainly can't complain. I've heard many good things about the Topshop makeup range so it's about time I tried some out for myself.

3. Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer

I desperately need to get my hands on a great primer and this is one of the main ones I had in mind (alongside Benefit's POREfessional). This primer claims to blur any blemishes, which is an absolute must for me, as well as giving your skin a lovely glow.

4. Topshop Blush Stick in ACTING UP

I've been wearing pretty pink blusher for far too long - time for me to branch out. Considering I've never tried an orange/coral blusher before I don't want to be forking out as there is a chance I may not like it, so this fairly priced product is high on my wishlist.

5. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Rose Ivory

I've heard this mentioned so much, particularly by Kate who runs gh0stparties, and I've been looking for a new foundation. This full coverage foundation appears to be right up my street. Also, as I sometimes suffer from dull, tired looking skin this should hopefully give me a bit more of a perked up look!

6. MAC Lipstick in Pure Zen
I literally don't think I can say anything other than the fact that I need more shades of lipsticks and I absolutely adore this colour. It's a pale pink nude that I just think is to die for. My slightly girly side coming through, perhaps?

7. MAC Lipstick in creme d'nude
Another MAC beauty on my lipstick. I absolutely love wearing lipstick but I don't always want lips that jump off my face screaming, so this shade is perfect for that. Subtle, elegant colour. I'm also looking at grabbing creme cup for a similar effect!

8. Origins Drink Up Intensive
Yet something else I've seen mentioned by Kate (as well as about 1000 others). This is an overnight mask/moisturiser designed to hydrate and rejuvenate skin, leaving it fresh and supple come the morning. Keeping skin hydrated is key when looking at maintaining a youthful complexion, and there's nothing wrong with trying to stop the signs of ageing this early - at 18 I don't think I'm at much risk of developing grows feet!

Have you tried any of these products?

HAUL #1

So! A couple of days ago I decided it was a real treat day. Armed and ready, I headed into Manchester City Centre and spent pretty much every penny I have! I purchased the following items, and although I haven't numbered the images I'm sure you'll be able to follow!:

Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Popcorn Lip Scrub, £5.25 for 25g I had seen so many posts about this and so many people talking about it on their blogs, instagram, Facebooks... you name it! So I decided it was about time I got my hands on some. After some uuhming and aahing, I decided on the Popcorn flavour (it is also available in Bubblegum which is the more popular one and Mint Julips, a sort of mint chocolate flavour) and it is divine!

Miss Sporty Dr Balm in shade 01 and 03, £1.99 each or 3 for £5 @ Superdrug I sort of bought these on a whim, seeing the 3 for £5 deal in Superdrug I couldn't resist! They do perfect summery shades, for when lipstick is just too heavy! Softing lip balm with royal jelly with the right amount of colour tint.

Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch Nail Varnish in shade 3004, £1.99 or 3 for £5 I bought this alongside the two lip colours mentioned above. This is really pretty and looks great over another colour and on its own. Glitter nail varnish is something I've only recently gotten into but my collection is slowly growing!

Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Mask of Magnaminty, £4.95 for 125g I will honestly hold my hands up and say that I do have the odd breakout in spots and sometimes, like right now, it gets worth than others, so when I saw and read about this I had to have it. It's a peppermint mask but also has gritty bits in it so also acts as a scrub. Leaves the skin feels SO refreshed!

Bumble & Bumble Gentle Shampoo, £18.50 for 250ml, Super Rich Conditioner, £20.00 for 250ml I searched high and low all over Manchester for a sample of B&B's Deeep Treatment as my hair is slightly frazzled at the minute and wanted to give it a try, but failed miserably. However, I did manage to get my hands on these two samples!

Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Honeybee Bath Ballistic, £3.20 each As you have probably noticed, I am a complete Lush nut. I perhaps need to start expanding my horizons a little bit, but the reasonably priced products (for the most part) keep me coming back. I bought myself my favourite bath bomb as an end of exam treat. Cannot wait to use it later on!

I also picked up some free reads as you can see, a benefit brochure and Manchester's Loud and Quiet paper (ins and outs of up and coming music, fashion, all of that).

Full reviews of all products will be coming up, keep your eyes peeled! Is there a particular one you'd like reviewed first or sooner than the others? Let me know!
