Wishlist - October 2014

1. E.L.F. - HD Lifting Concealer

2. ZOEVA - Makeup Artist Brush Belt

3. Dose of Colors - Lip gloss/lipstick 

4. Benjabelle - Brush Tree

5. Charlotte Tilbury - Full Fat Lashes Mascara

1. I recently was alerted to this product by miss Rhian at her Wifelife blog. It looks like a great cheap product to use for highlighting as part of contouring and highlighting the face after foundation! 

I am yet to find where I can buy this in Australia though, so if anyone knows please share. The e.l.f. Australia site doesn't list it and neither does the Crush Cosmetics site. :(

2. Now that I'm studying to be a makeup artist I definitely value my brushes and all of their purposes a whole lot more. I have a nice set that we got with school, but this set is GREAT for the price and has a lot of duo fibre brushes that I would love to upgrade my kit with. I have seen nothing but great reviews for these brushes, with comparisons to MAC or Sigma - both of which I have in my personal brush sets and love! I think this will be my splurge item with my tax return money. :)

3. This brand keeps popping up with makeup artists that I love on instagram, and watching some videos from Rhian (again, yup) this week reminded me that I still would love to try these!  I'm looking at getting some more nude colours, so I'd love to try some of these lipsticks and glosses to layer with. Have you tried these? What are your favourite colours?

4. This was another product that I randomly came across on instagram, and since then they keep popping up from time to time. Now that I'm washing my makeup brushes a lot more often (every time I use them!), I think that a couple of these would definitely make my life easier!

5. I had never heard of this brand before watching Rhian's youtube, but again, now that I've seen the amazing difference it made with her lashes - I need it. Haha. I am a bit of a mascara hoarder (I currently am using 7 different types on rotation.) so this would be a great addition to the collection. Hopefully I can get this to ship to Australia! Is it a big brand overseas if you're not from Australia?

That's it for this month. As you can tell I've mostly been watching Rhian's youtube and reading her blog and being highly influenced from that. She has a great channel so make sure you check her out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo2ISnT2ZBA3aYYFilzli1g 

Have you got any of these products already? What are you lusting over this month? x

Wishlist #4

1. Urban Decay - Electric Palette

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brush #12

3. Anastasia Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Pomade

4. Too Faced - Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick

5. Glamglow - Brightmud Eye Treatment

1. I will admit that my palette and eyeshadow collection is getting rather large, but these colours are just so different to everything that I already have! These are described as pressed-pigment shadows with a super intense colour payoff. I've been trying to play around a bit more with colour lately, so I think this would be great for keeping with that challenge. 

2. I was recently in Hawaii and meant to pick this up when I was in Sephora, but forgot! I did buy it for a friend though and she absolutely swears by it. I use something very similar at the moment, the MAC 266 small angle brush, but this one is specifically designed for brows and has the handy spooly on the end too!

3. I also wanted to pick this up in Sephora when I was there but it was sold out in my colour. :( I've heard great things about this product though, and after purchasing and loving the brow powder I definitely need to add this to my collection too. I only ever use powder for my brows so this would be super interesting to play around with.  

4. I've seen these Too Faced Melted liquid lipsticks everywhere lately, so of course I want to try them! The colours are super intense and you can never have enough long lasting lip colours. ;)

5. I absolutely love the Glamglow Youthmud face mask so I would love to have this to pair with it! I love that these are in single use packets too which means they should store and last really well. 

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? What are you lusting after at the moment?

Wishlist #3

1. Urban Decay - Smoked Palette

2. Stila - Natural Beauty Eyeshadow Palette

3. NARS - Foreplay Cheek Palette

4. Bed Head - Sugar Dust, Mega Whip, and Glaze Haze

5. Illamasqua - Precision Ink 

1. I spoke about how much I wanted to try this palette in my review of the Urban Decay - Naked 2 palette last week. It's just new from the brand and is obviously aimed at creating a perfect smokey eye range of looks. I love that there's a lot of colours I don't already have in this palette. Hopefully I can purchase it soon!

The only online shop that I know that you can purchase Urban Decay to Australia is BeautyBay.com and they have these online here for $55.50 at the moment. Little bit pricey, but hopefully worth it for the quality of their eye shadows I would think!

2. Stila palettes are always great value, and this is no exception! This is such a pretty range of colours that look as though they would be perfect for every day use. You get 13 shades in total, 7 matte and 6 shimmer. The pans do look a little smaller than a lot of others, but I never seem to get through any colours in a palette entirely, so that doesn't bother me too much, plus it's quite a good price! 

You can purchase this from beautybay.com here for under $20. I can't see it on the Mecca website yet, but I'm sure it will arrive soon!

3. When I saw this I lost my mind a little bit in excitement, not going to lie! It's called the Foreplay cheek palette and it's basically meant to be a deconstructed version of their best seller blush - orgasm. "Combine the gold highlighter, pink matte blush, peach matte blush and – of course – Orgasm Blush, for a beautiful range of cheek shades. Depending on your mood, make your ORGASM matte, highlighted, or even more intense." Sounds perfect! I love the orgasm blush so hopefully I can get my hands on this too. 

You can purchase this online from meccacosmetica.com.au here for $79, or in your nearest Mecca Maxima store. 

4. These hair products from the 'Candy Fixations' Bed Head range all seem good enough to eat, and cute as pie! I love nice smelling hair products and I have a feeling these would all be right up my alley.

Sugar Dust is a volumising powder similar to the Osis Dust It mattifying powder if you've ever used that. It's a powder you apply to your roots to give volume, and soak up any excess oil! So clever. 

Mega Whip is a texturiser with added staying power. It seems more aimed at shorter locks, but the packaging is amazing, I would want it on my shelf for that fact alone. 

The Glaze Haze is a smoothing serum that adds shine and reduces drying time. And if it makes my hair super sweet scented while doing that, I will be one happy lady!

I spotted all of these on the Beauty Bay website. I'm not sure if there may be other places to buy them online for cheaper, but they are $11.50 for the Sugar Dust, $13.20 for the Mega Whip, and $11.20 for the Glaze Haze. Pretty well priced I think.  

5. Illamasqua's Precision Ink is something that I've heard a LOT of good things about, but still haven't purchased! I am definitely a fan of long wearing eyeliner, and I've heard this one doesn't budge, smudge and applies super easily. Can't wait to try it out, though it may take a little getting used to as I'm so used to using a texta type eyeliner now!

You can purchase Precision Ink from the Illamasqua website for $26.98 US$, or Illamasqua is also stocked in most Myer stores now!

There are so many great goodies coming out at the moment, so I'm sure I'll be purchasing way more than I should be again! Hopefully I tick some things off this wish list soon. :)

What's on your current wish list? Have you tried and loved any of these products? x

Wishlist #1

1. Peter Thomas Roth - Clinical Peel & Reveal Dermal Resurfacer

2. Moroccan Oil - Intense Curl Cream

3. Moroccan Oil - Luminous Hairspray

4. Chanel - Illusion D'Ombre in Emerveille

5. Lime Crime - Carousel Gloss Collection

6. Wheels & Dollbaby - Leopard Cardi with Bluebird

1. I have been wanting to try this ever since I saw it recommended on another blog that I read. Peter Thomas Roth describe it as " Reveal smoother, younger looking, radiant and revitalized skin. Triple action dermal resurfacer helps even out skin tone, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and clarify skin. This powerful and highly effective exfoliating treatment addresses dull, aging, and congested complexion in three different ways peels with alpha hydroxy acid, exfoliates with pumpkin enzyme and polishes with aluminum oxide."
It's a little pricey though which has put me off thus far at around $50-$60 . Hopefully I can get it soon to try though as I don't have an awesome permanent exfoliator/peel in my skin care routine yet. I'm not worried about fine lines at my age, but prevention is the best cure as they say! 

The best price I have seen so far that ship this to Aus for free is BeautyBay - link here for $51.60 or if you prefer Strawberrynet have it for $59 here. 

2. My hair is probably the most neglected in my beauty routine at the moment. I use a good shampoo and conditioner (red colour treated, and Moroccan Oil plus a mask every so often), then before my hair dries I use the Moroccan Oil brand Oil to protect my hair from day to day nasties. I don't often blow dry my hair, so it usually dries naturally and it's got a nice curl to it generally when it does. The thing I hate is that I often have small fly away hairs on the top of my head that never want to play nice! My hair dresser suggested I try this to keep my curls in even better condition.  Can't wait to get it and try it out. 

The best price I have seen for this product was on Feel Unique website  for $38.85 with free postage link here  or it's available at most local salons that stock Moroccan Oil products.

3. In the same theme, I am also after a decent hairspray as I currently only have a cheap supermarket hairspray that leaves my hair crunchy and hardly even holds after that mess! Yuck. This was also suggested to me by my hairdresser and as I love all of their products that I've tried so far I'm super keen to try it out. This product is described as "Luminous Hairspray Strong Flexible Hold. The lightweight formula of this spray locks in your style without leaving your hair feeling stiff – the perfect tool to help you achieve a natural look."

Being a hairspray it might be best to try to find this at your local salon. I am unsure about which Aus stockist would be best to buy this from online as I've never bought from them, but I did find this site pretty good - Adore Beauty Aus - $34.95 link here. 

4. This product I already own in the colour 'Illusoire' and adore it. It's not like any other eye product I own, and they're so easy to apply with just your finger. Chanel describe these as “This intensely shimmering long-wear eyeshadow offers true versatility. An innovative gel texture that is both soft and cushiony allows it to be worn as eyeshadow or eyeliner.”

I really don't get enough wear out of my shade as it's a bit full on for wear at work being a deep dark purple shimmer, but the shade Emerville should definitely accommodate me for a quick easy shade that's perfect for every day use.

The best price I have found these online for is from Strawberrynet for $43.50 - link here but they are also available at David Jones and Myer in the Chanel department.

5. These look insanely cool in all of the swatches I've seen. Really highly pigmented just like their lipsticks, and the packaging is just way too cute to pass up! They're currently on special too for $64.99 instead of the usual $85 on their website, so I might have to get them quick while they're on sale I think. Link here. 

6. I've wanted the leopard print Wheels & Dollbaby cardi since I tried it on whilst on holiday in Perth, and now it's back with the cute bluebird logo! The only thing holding me back is that it's $198.00, and I've already bought too much for myself this month. haha. I'll keep wishing for it instead.
You can buy this online from Wheels & Dollbaby directly here.
