April New York Wish List

I always seem to do these posts at the end of a month! I suppose I spend the month umming and awwing about everything then finally get round to posting! 

This month is my NYC wish list! It seems like only feels like yesterday we booked it and now it's less than a week to go! Last time I went to New York was about 4 years ago and I felt the pressure of being in the shopping capital of the world was huge! I didn't really do my research and I found myself standing in Macys and thinking...

"What do I want?"
"I need to buy something, I'm in New York!"

I came away with a few lovely bits but now being old and more aware of things plus being a beauty blogger I have a 'vague list'. I really don't want to set my heart on something and not being able to find it so I'm going with some ideas of things and hopefully will be more surprised with what I get! 

Converses- On my days off I almost live in these! I only have one pair so I'm on the look out for some uber cool ones! 

Clinique- You can get a really good deal on Clinique products out there and as my fave foundation is a Clinique one I will probably pick up a couple of bottles to stock up... Plus a chubby stick or two... maybe a blusher!

Benefit- One of my fave brands, I have seen some really good gift sets online in Sephora so I will be defo picking up one or two bits! 

MAC- I reeeaaaallllyyyyy wanna get a few Mac lip sticks, I don't have any MAC products to everyone's dismay. I find it quite daulting being in the MAC shop/counter plus I have been holding till I go to NY as it's a bit cheaper out there! I might look at one of their foundations too...! What's your best pick for a more oily skin?

Tiffany's- I will defo need to take a 'look' in there!

A 'nice' handbag- I'm not thinking Mulberry even though my heart says YES! But I'm looking out for a Michael Kors or DKNY one, that sort of thing.

I will probs bit up lots of other bits along the way! 

I'm open to ideas so if you have a fave MAC lipstick you think I will like or any other NY shopping must have do please comment below!


Bye for now

March Spending Ban Wishlist


I never thought a spending ban would be so hard! Shopping really does make me happy! I suppose I'm just like any girl really but man this is hard! I have been very resistant even when I have had to pop into town to do something like an appointment I have been strong and stayed out of Boots, Superdrug, New Look etc. But just a scroll down my Facebook, Instagram and Bloglovin' feed is so hard, ideas are everywhere! Me and Russ popped into Tesco's for some bits and I was lusting after this dress in there, I was so sad I couldn't buy it *sad face*.I have sooooo many clothes and quite a lot of make up at home I know in my hearts of hearts that I don't need anything.... but there is know harm in wishing and debating what's out there is there?  

New Gelux Ice Ice Baby Shades- I do gel nails from home for my friends and family. I have a small-ish collection of shades one of each colour to suit everyone's taste but when I saw these I knew I needed more! I love the pastel mint green and the bright orange looks fab for holiday and the light pink as you can never have too many pink nail polishes/gels! So after my spending ban I might grab a couple once I have seen them in real life at the beauty suppliers!

Real Techniques Stippling Brush- After getting the core collection for my birthday and watching a few youtube videos and reading lots of blog posts I feel I need the stippling brush in my life as well. I do get on with the buffng brush for my liquid foundation but I really want to see first hand what this one is like. I still have some vouchers from my birthday so I might pick this on up as well!

No7 Pop and Glow Cream Blushers- Two be fair what girl would not want these, they are bright and colourful and oh so pretty. I have used the Benefit cream blusher 'Fine One One' and I really like it. I fancy trying the orange one first...and the light pink...! Have you tried these? How do you apply them?

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm- I have seen a few reviews on cleansing balm and I just fancy trying it. I might pick it up in New York. I really like removing my make up with a creamy cleanser but I'm always up for new things to try and I really like the eye make up remover in the same range.

I don't have long left on my spending ban (until 10th April) and I'm planning on a big shopping trip to Lakeside in Essex on the 11th! There Primark is AMAZZZING! I'm not going to go crazy as my New York trip is just around the corner and I'm soooo excited already! I'm researching my April New York Wish List is we speak.... what this space!

This Weeks Haul...

I have been shopping a few times this week (even though I'm ment to be saving) I got a few bargins though! 

First me and Russ went to Bluewater on Monday evening, we didn't really need anything but we wanted to try out and have a meal at Wahaca (post coming soon). While I was ther I picked up this lovely over sized clutch bag, 

I love how tan and dark blue will go with most things and how you can dress it up or down for the evenings. Plus the heart print is super cute, even better it was £19 reduced to £9.50! Had to be done!

Next I had a look in New look and got these lovely beige flat shoe boots, they are so comfy and can be worn with most things! They were only £8!


Today I had to go into Maidstone, to get my hair cut, so of course I took that as a chance to have a 'look around the shops'!!

Got this comfy and casual blue jumper in Primark it was reduced to £3! Perfect for lazy days off! Also I picked up some bobby pins and I thought I would try out this sparkly gold head band! It was only £3 so if I don't like it, it wasn't much!



Lastly I popped into Boots and Superdrug and picked up these beauty's! 


Firstly I got a Sleek make up palette, I havnt used their eye shadows before (I love their blushers) so thought I should try! I picked up the vintage romance palette, the colours were lovely, I will post about these soon! 

I picked up a cheapie natural collection green eye shadow, I use to have a really nice dark greedy shimmery eye shadow, I'm gonna give this one a try to see how it is!

I bought the bargin of the day, A BLUSHER FOR £1! I picked up a pinky peachy colour, I'm not to brave in blusher colours yet!

Lastly I finished my Boujour colour boast lip crayon collection! I picked up 'peach on the beach' and I LOVE IT! I tryed it as soon as I got home! It's a bright but not too bright pinky/coral shade and looks fab! 

I hope you grabbed done bargins this week! Will post on my new hair cut later!
