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!

So here is my February wish list. I didn't do one of these in January as I was all new to this blogging lark, so here i am with my 1st wish list! These will mainly be things I would like to have (want!) but I may not buy them...but probably will
1.) Converse Oxford All Stars- £45- Schuh To start I need a new pair of converses. I was going to get a new pair for Christmas but i found other things i wanted more! I like these ones as the sole is not as thick as the standard ones and I find them a little bit more 'lady like' I have a pair was an even thinner sole that are light blue and pink and I love them. So i'm just deciding what colour of these beauty's i want! White (but my mum is putting me off a little because they will get grubby quicky) or mint green or in Schuh they do these amazball silver glittery ones! Watch this space!
2.) River Island Ditsy Floral Tea Dress- £25 I was in River Island the other day, its not normally a place I shop but we where in there for Russ to get some stuff so i decided to have a wander. I saw this straight away and knew it's something i would want/like! I love a little floral dress! You can dress it down for the evening and jazz it up a night time! I did pick it up to try on but i sort of talked myself out of it on my way round the shop! (I do that alot!) I think I might go back in and try it on, it is my birthday after all on the 2nd of March and I could do with a nice new dress...!
3.) Cath Kidston Provence Rose Tea Pot -£25 I have been lusting of this tea pot for ages! (such a funny thing to say!) This is for mine and Russ's 'Bottom Draw' which has turned in to quite a few boxes in the garage! I LOVE Cath Kidston! I have a few handbags and a purse and I'm looking at getting some bits for when we buy a house! I have picked some stuff up when they have had sales on but this beautiful tea pot never goes in the sale! I will bite the bullet and just buy it one day!
4.) Real Techniques Brushes-Boots/Superdrug I'm so behind trends! I have seem these all over blogs so looking to get some! What I really want is a really good foundation brush to apply liquid foundation. Whats your opinion on real techniques? I have looked at the MAC brush too i think it's number 187? But I will wait and get that when I go to New York! I might buy the real techniques one in the mean time and see what I think! If you have any other brush ideas for me please let me know!?
5.) Benefit The POREfessional: Agent Zero Shine- £23.50- Boots Anything to stop a shinny face i'm up for trying! This looks very clever and I have seen some good reviews! Hopefully I will get this with some birthday money!
So that's my February wish list! I'm trying to be good and watch my spending as we are saving etc but there is no harm in looking and wishing! Plus this is ideal for my family and friends to get birthday present ideas from! (hint, hint!)
Bye for now
