Hello

1. Philosophy - Fresh Cream EDT - Boots - £34.00

2. Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Lacque - Appechissant - Boots - £8.99

3. Ojon - Rare Blend Oil - Boots - £30.00

4. LUSH - Lust Gorilla Perfume - Lush - £48.00

1. I have read about Philosophy's latest fragrance on many a blog lately and knew I had to give it a spritz the next time I was in store. I absolutely love it, it is clean (like all of the Philosophy fragrances) but a little bit sweet too. Good enough to eat for sure. I may just spend my points on this one.

2. I have only just tried the original Rouge Edition lipsticks from Bourjois and I can't believe it has taken me so long. The Aqua Lacque range are more sheer and Spring appropriate. I think the shade Appechissant is right up my street.

3. My hair is in a bit of a state at the moment, my roots are getting greasy quickly (I've changed shampoo, never again) but they ends are so dehydrated and parched. I've heard good things about Ojon and I just really want to chuck any sort of moisture that I can at my hair presently.

4. Ahh, Lust. Lust has been a long time favourite of mine as it is primarily jasmine based. I do love jasmine, I think it smells super sexy. I recently had a spritz when I was at the LUSH Spa which has only fueled the obsession.

Hello

1. Lush Hoppity Poppity Bath Bomb - Lush - £2.50
2. Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum - Boots - £7.99
3. Clinique Pop Lip Colour - Boots - £16.00 
4. Superfacialist by Una Brennan Rose Cleanser - Boots - £7.99 

 
1. Easter is one of my favorite times of year, no doubt because everything is adorned with rabbits. Hoppity Poppity is a snip at £2.50 and the perfect way to enjoy  a guilt-free Easter treat. Not that I have any guilt about scoffing a huge chocolate egg, lets just get that out there.

2. I have 3 Lip Butters from Revlon and I would love to expand my collection. Sugar Plum is an unusual shade for me but I know I love the formulas and the pigmentation - just got to get out of my comfort zone!

3. How pretty? I never really visit the Clinique stand any more, I do find that the lower priced offerings of other brands are just as good. After seeing these popping up left, right and centre on some of my favourite blogs I think I may have to invest. From what I can gather they are a Boots exclusive.

4. I love the Superfacialist range and I do love trying a new cleanser. Rose has really grown on me recently and I don't think you can beat a cream cleanser and a flannel in a morning. I think the pricepoint is excellent too, as you get 150ml.

March Wishlist

Hello

1. Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb - Lush - £3.50
2. Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipstick - MAC - £15.50 
3. Moonlight Dream Body Spray - Victoria's Secret
4. Quilted Ballet Pumps - Forever 21 - £13.50 

1. Realistically I am probably going to buy everything from the Mother's Day collection from LUSH this year, I usually do. Rose Bombshell, as you would imagine, is scented with roses and looks very pretty.

2. I'm not a Miley Cyrus fan generally, her music isn't my cup of tea, but anyone who gets behind the Viva Glam campaign is a good egg in my book. All proceeds from these lipsticks go directly to helping people with HIV and the lipstick itself is a gorgeous bright pink.

3. A lady at work has a few of these body mists from Victoria's Secret and they smell amazing. I'm going to have a mooch in their Trafford Centre store to see if they sell them over here.

4. These ballet flats are among the comfiest shoes I have ever owned but mine died a death a few months ago after a lot of use. I'm hoping to pick some more up the next time I'm in a Forever 21.

 

February Wishlist

Hello

1. Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar - Lush - £3.25
2. Heart Throb Bubble Bar - Lush - £3.65
3. Lonely Heart Bubble Bar - Lush - £3.50
4. Floating Flower Bath Bomb - Lush - £3.50

1. I know this is over social media obscene amounts but who cares? LOOK at it! I love a Lush collection and even though I don't go in for Valentine's Day I'm so on board with this. Unicorn Horn contains lavender, neroli and ylang ylang which sounds pretty good to me.
2. A more traditional looking Valentine's item for sure, Heart Throb is similar to the bubbleroon in that it comes in two halves (as opposed to three halves? you know what I mean). Apparently Heart Throb shares its scent with the African Paradise body conditioner, which I've never tried.
3. What a sad name! Lonely Heart is super sparkly which appeals to me greatly. The scent is jasmine (my favourite!), bergamot and ylang ylang and I have no doubt that you can split this in two.
4. The only bath bomb on this list, how strange. I haven't seen a lot of hype for this but I think it looks really pretty.

I think we can all agree I have a serious Lush problem, but there are worse things in life to have addictions to and probably by the time this post goes live I will have purchased them all. Oops!

 

 

January Wishlist

Hello

1. Roots - Lush - £10.25
2. Anastasia Brow Wiz - Cult Beauty - £15.50
3. Revlon Lash Potion Mascara - Boots - £9.99
4. Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in Hot Pepper - £8.99

1. I've really been loving Lush's haircare range recently and I've read so many good things about Roots. My friend Rachel has just purchased this and I can't wait to see how she gets on.

2. Every man and his dog seems to use this and I'm not usually a sucker for hype. I do love a tidy eyebrow and I think this offering looks great.

3. I've read a review on this mascara recently and it's jumped right to the top of my wishlist. I've been using a Too Faced one but it's far too expensive to repurchase so I'm going to give this one a whirl.

4. Even though I think I've found my perfect red I still want to try Hot Pepper from Bourjois. I think it looks amazing and not too expensive either. Win.

November Wishlist

Hello

1. Star Light, Star Bright Bath Melt from Lush - £3.50

2. The Christmas Hedgehog Bubble Bar from Lush - £3.25

3. Father Christmas Bath Bomb from Lush - £3.50

4. Holly Golightly Bubble Bar from Lush - £4.75

1. I don't tend to go for the bath melts from Lush, favouring their showier bath bombs and bubble bars but Star Light, Star Bright looks amazing. I can imagine it making a huge glittery mess in the bath. I can't wait.

2. How cute?! Not totally sure how a hedgehog is Christmas related but I'm going to roll with it. He contains rose and ylang-ylang which will be perfect for unwinding after a long day. Not sure if I will be able to limit myself to just one of these cuties.

3. Father Christmas shares the Snow Fairy scent which no doubt will make him very popular! I like that Lush make traditional Christmas products as well as being original.

4. When Christmas 2014 Lush products were released Holly Golightly was the one I knew I had to get my hands on. Who doesn't want to experience a silver Christmas Pudding? The scent is warm and spicy, perfect for the wintery days to come.

 

October Wishlist

Hello

1. Fairydrops Scandal Queen Mascara in Black
2. Real Techniques Sam's Picks
3. Lush Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar
4. Estee Lauder Perfectionist Youth Infusing Makeup

1. After hearing Anna rave about this mascara I am desperate to try it. It isn't easy to come by in the UK but that has never stopped me before. The wand on this mascara is unusual, it sort of looks like a caterpillar.

2. Would you believe I am yet to invest in any of the Real Techniques brushes? I know. This looks like a good set to start with in my humble opinion.

3. It's not a favourites without a Lush product sneaking its way in! Jumping Juniper is a shampoo bar which is designed to give your hair a really deep clean. I am relatively new to the shampoo bar but I am impressed so far.

4. Hmm, another Anna recommendation. I tend to use tinted moisturiser as my daily base but sometimes I need something with a bit more coverage. I really like the look of this foundation and will no doubt invest.

September Wishlist

Hello

1. HealGel Eye - Space NK - £32.00
2. Yankee Candle in Summer Scoop - Clinton Cards - £16.99
3. Divergent DVD - Zavvi - £10.99 
4. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Boots - £4.19 

1. When I am due for my injection my dark circles are atrocious, I look like a panda. Not in a cute, come give us a cuddle, way either. I have seen reviews on this eye cream by HealGel saying it is perfect for dark circles.

2. I'm still desperately clinging on to Summer. Summer Scoop is a delicious fragrance from Yankee Candle which isn't too sweet but still smells amazing.

3. I went to watch Divergent when it was released and I didn't have high hopes for it. Not too sure why as I absolutely love it. So much so that I came home and read all the books in 3 days.

4. Another product to tackle dark circles! Can you tell they have been getting me down recently? I use the illuminator pen at present but I am definitely in need of something a bit more heavy duty. I'm really trying to watch my spending but I'm pretty sure £4.19 won't be missed.

 

August Wishlist

Hello

1. Makeup Revolution - Ultra Blush and Contour Palette in Sugar and Spice - £6.00 from MUR
2. Yankee Candle - Large Candle in Bahama Breeze - £21.99 from Yankee Candle 
3. Ray Ban - Wayfarer Sunglasses - £125.00 from Ray Ban 
4. The Body Shop - Early-Harvest Raspberry Shower Gel - £4.00 from The Body Shop 

1. Makeup Revolution are really knocking them out of the park at the moment (ha, sports metaphor!) and you really can't go wrong with 8 blushes for £6. Everything I have tried from Makeup Revolution so far has been really good.

2. This is more of a repurchase, I have just started burning my last Summer-appropriate candle sadly. I love Bahama Breeze it takes me to sitting around a pool sipping cocktails. Delicious.

3. Now that I don't get to pose in my Ray Ban optics as I have brand new eyes, I really fancy a pair of their sunglasses. The Wayfarers are such a classic frame and they really suit my face. £125 though!

4. I have so far managed to resist buying anything from the Early-Harvest Raspberry range even though it looks amazing. I think the shower gels are a great way to try a fragrance family to see if it is for you.

What are you lusting after?

 

July Wishlist

Hello

1. Urban Decay - Naked 3 - £37.00 from Debenhams

2. L'Occitane - Almond Shower Oil - £17.50 from John Lewis

3. Liz Earle - Cleanse and Polish Orange and Chamomile - £19.75 from QVC

4. MAC - Kelly Yum-Yum - £16.50 from MAC

1. Oh Naked 3, I don't even know why I want you, probably just to complete my Naked palette collection. I have the MUR version of this which I love but I still feel I need this too!

2. The concept of a shower oil is new to me but I am definitely intrigued. I had a little peruse when I was in the Trafford Centre and I love the scent of the Almond range.

3. I assume the formula is the same as the Cleanse and Polish that we all know and love, but this one has a different scent. As much as I am loving my Superdrug hot cloth cleanser at the moment I'm still desperate to try this too.

4. When I heard MAC were collaborating with the Osbournes I didn't have high hopes for the releases, I'm not sure why. I have wanted quite a few bits strangely but Kelly Yum-Yum is definitely the stand out piece for me. I've swatched this a couple of times now but still not taken the plunge.

June Wishlist

Hello

1 . Emma Hardie - Moringa Balm - £32.00 from QVC
2. First Aid Beauty - Facial Radiance Pads - £20.50 from Feel Unique
3. Origins - GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream - £23.00 from Selfridges
4. L'Occitane - Verbena Body Lotion - £20.00 from Debenhams

1. I have been loving using a balm as an evening second cleanse lately and I have heard such good things about this one from Emma Hardie. Now I have a bit more cash at my disposal I think it's a great time to be investing in skincare. No I haven't won the lottery, just paid my loan off.

2. I first heard about these on Caroline Hirons and lets face it, almost everything she recommends I want anyway. You use these as a toner to whisk away dead skin cells.

3. Now I am getting on a bit I think I should be using an eye cream. I had a sample of this and I absolutely love it. I suffer with dark under eye circles and always have done, so anything that can brighten is a winner for me.

4. Oh L'Occitane, why do you insist on taking all of my money? £20 for a body lotion, what have I become! I love the Verbena range from L'Occitane and I think this might be the only thing I haven't tried. 

 

April Wishlist

Hello

1. Clinique Cheek Pop in Peach Pop - Clinique £16.50
2. Barry M Silk Nail Paint in Truffle - Superdrug £3.99
3. Clarins Lotus Facial Oil - Debenhams £32.00
4. Too Faced Sweetheart Perfect Flush Blush in Something about Berry - Sephora $30.00

1. I know these have been widely promoted by the big bloggers and this is probably the reason that I desperately want one! I am such a sucker for a pretty product. I think the shade "Peach Pop" would suit every skintone too.

2. I love Barry M and these look so gorgeous. Truffle looks to be the perfect sophisticated nude.

3. I am just recently getting into facial oils and I have heard good things about Clarins' offerings. Lotus is the one designed for oily/combination skin so perfect for me.

4. Again, fancy packaging is what has done it for me here. I do think the berry tones of this blusher are unusual but still wearable.

March Wishlist

Hello

1. Sleek Make Up Brow Kit in Dark - Superdrug £8.49

2. MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer in Atomic - Superdrug £3.00

3. L'Occitane Verbena Shower Gel - L'Occitane £14.00

4. Merumaya Melting Cleansing Balm - John Lewis £14.50

1. I love a strong brow, being so close to Liverpool it's pretty impossible to escape from up here. I have heard such good things about the Brow Kit from Sleek. Definitely being purchased come payday.

2. I can't believe these are only £3, I have read loads of glowing reviews on these and I like the sound of Atomic the best.

3. Oh Verbena, why are you so delicious? I love L'Occitane and I'm desperate to get my grubby mitts on this.

4. I have only tried one cleansing balm so far and I love it, so much so that I have bought a spare. I really fancy trying this one as it is only £14.50 and recommended by the queen of skincare herself, Caroline Hirons.

January Wishlist

Hello

1. Illamasqua S.O.P.H.I.E blush - Illamasqua £18

2. Anna Sui Minnie Mouse nail polish in Pink - ASOS £15

3. Tom Ford lipstick in True Coral - Selfridges £36

4. Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Peaceful - Tarte $26

1. I am yet to try any of Illamasqua's blushers, and the S.O.P.H.I.E charity is so close to my heart, so it would be rude not to right? From the picture it kinda looks like NARS Orgasm which I love.

2. How sweet is the Anna Sui collection really? I want it all! Especially the nail polishes, and I thought this looked a lovely shade for every day wear.

3. £36. For a lipstick. Just look at it though! It really is no wonder I can't pay my loan off if I am lusting after £36 lipsticks. £36.

4. Oh Tarte, hurry up and get to the UK. I have heard so many good things about the Amazonian Clay blushers I can't wait to get my grubby mitts on them.

December Wishlist

Hello

1. Bourjois Exclusif Blusher - Boots £7.99

2. Bombardino Bathbomb - Lush £2.50

3. Snow Fairy Sparkle Bar - Lush £4.95

4. Benefit Sugarbomb Blusher - Debenhams £23.50

1. I love a good "personalised" beauty product. The idea behind this is that it reacts to the pH levels and the shade turns to your perfect shade. It is a cream to powder formula which Bourjois do so well. *hint hint Santa*

2. Look at that face! I love all of the Lush Christmas offerings this year and I can't wait to try this little fella.

3. I have only tried a couple of massage bars from Lush, and I love the look of this little fairy. Snow Fairy is one of my favourite Lush scents and you can't beat a good sparkle.

4. Since being addicted to my Hervana blusher, I think Sugarbomb could be a welcome edition to my collection. I like blushes where you combine the colours together for a pop on the cheeks.

November Wishlist

Hello

1. Luxury Lush Pud - Lush £3.40
2. Baby Lips Electro in Oh! Orange - Maybelline $3.99
3. Benefit Rockateur Boxed Blusher - Debenhams £23.50
4. Honeymania Bubble Bath Melt - The Body Shop £8.00

1. I usually end up with most of the Christmas releases from Lush, and this year looks to be no different. They normally have a bath bomb called "Lil' Lush Pud" but this year they have the luxury version. Swanky.

2. I really want all of the Electro Baby Lips but this one looks to be a winner for me. I really hope we get the Electro range over in the UK but I have a friend who is going to (hopefully) be picking this up for me.

3. Ahh Benefit Boxed Blushers, the price is totally unjustifiable, but I want it anyway. I love the two that I already have (Coralista and Hervana) and this would make a nice addition to my little collection.

4. Possibly one of the most blogged about ranges recently, the Honeymania collection from The Body Shop. I love honey and anything you can chuck in a bath, so this looks perfect!

October Wishlist

Hello

Hmm, I'm sensing a theme with this months picks! My skin has been playing up no end, but after a thorough read of Caroline Hiron's blog I now have a plan! It is already starting to look a lot better but in no way perfect. Anyway, onto my picks:

1. Dr Jart BB Cream £12 from Boots
2. Burt's Bees Deep Pore Scrub £10.99 from Boots
3. Korres Sage and Salicylic Gel £11.70 from Debenhams
4. Hydraluron £24.99 from Boots

 

1. Every BB cream I have tried has been a bit of a dud but I have high hopes for this one. I have read so many positive reviews so fingers crossed. Ever the optimist eh?

 

2. My current scrub of choice is about to run out (Lush Ocean Salt) and I quite fancy a change. I haven't tried much from Burt's Bees but my mother swears by it. 

 

3. This gel is supposedly amazing for oily skin, with the salicylic acid working on dead skin cells and the sage reduces the appearance of blemishes.

 

4. Ahh, Hydraluron, I'm sure everyone who has an interest in skincare has heard of this by now. This is a serum designed to improve "surface roughness", which I'm assuming means will work wonders on my bumpy forehead!

 

 

September Wishlist

Hello

This month I have been lusting after:
 

1) Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray £21.50 for 125ml from Boots
2) Honey by Marc Jacobs £50 for 50ml from Debenhams
3) Laura Geller Brighten Blush £22 for 1.8g from QVC
4) GlamGlow Super Mud Face Mask £45 for 34g from Selfridges

1) I really wish that I could rock the "just come from the beach" look, but my hair is far too fine for any sort of style to hold really. I think this may be my answer!

2) I love all of the Marc Jacobs perfumes, especially Dot. Honey really reminds me of Dot but is fresher and lighter I would say.

3) Laura Geller is a brand that I am yet to try from but her products always appeal to me - just look at the colours in that blusher.

4) During August my skin has been playing up so badly, I quite fancy seeing if this mask from GlamGlow could sort it out.

What have you been lusting after recently?

August Wishlist

Hello

This month I have been lusting after:

1) Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balms - £2.99 each from Boots

2) Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Mascara - £24.50 from Selfridges

3) Bare Minerals Mineral Veil - £20.00 from Debenhams

4) Benefit Hervana Blush - £23.50 from Debenhams

1) Yes I am straight on the Baby Lips bandwagon, amazing what a bit of hype can do to a girl. Getting excited about a lip balm, totally want all 6 too woops.

2) I have never used anything from Yves Saint Laurent, but this mascara looks absolutely amazing. £24.50 though, ouch.

3) My Mineral Veil has just ran out, absolutely love this and would repurchase every time. So soft and has a blurring effect for any imperfections.

4) I have only ever tried Coralista from Benefit's blusher range, and I think Hervana should be my next one. Just look how pretty it is!

July Wishlist

Hello

This month I have been lusting after the following:

1) Etude House nail polish in Apricot Candy £2.97 on eBay.

2) Shu Uemura eyelash curlers £20 Selfridges

3) REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask £30 REN

4) Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File £15.50 Leighton Denny

1) How cute are these nail polishes from Etude House seriously?! Perfect and summery, absolutely love the Apricot colour.

2) My eyelash curlers are looking a bit worse for wear, and when they eventually stop working I think I might treat myself to this pair from Shu Uemura. I do think that £20 is extortionate for eyelash curlers though. Decisions decisions.

3) I have used a sample of the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask from REN in the past and I absolutely loved it. I could really feel it working and the texture is amazing, sort of like slapping marmalade on your face.

4) Finally I am lusting after the Crystal File from Leighton Denny. I bought my Mum one of these a few birthdays ago and I don't think she has even opened it so I might just pinch hers! As it comes with a lifetime guarantee I think it's really good value for money for such a great nail file.

Have you used anything off my wishlist? Would you recommend them?

Love
