So
this post is a little bit different to the ones I’ve written before, as I’m
sure you can tell from the title. As opposed to reviewing new things that I’ve
got, I thought I’d share with you guys the things that I would like in the
future. Eg “wish list”. What used to frustrate me most about reading certain
blogs, was that they only ever used to post about the lovely things that they
had, and how amazing they are. It’s important to me (and Sam) that you guys
know at the end of the day, we’re hardly made of money and for whatever reason
we can’t just always go out and buy all of the things that we want. So I’m
going to write about the things that I would like, and then if I’m lucky enough
to get them, I’ll update you on it!
The
first thing I would really like is touche éclat foundation. Especially since
being bought the highlighter for my birthday and absolutely loving it. I have a
few concerns about this foundation. Being a high end foundation, it comes with a high end price tag. I also know
that it can slide off oily skin. Although I’m not majorly oily, I’m unsure how
this kind of foundation would sit on my skin. However, the finish looks so
gorgeous. I’m going to look into getting a sample of this so I can try before I
buy. NOTE. Eleanor Calder is known for using this foundation and her skin
always looks beautiful.
Mac
lipglass: I can’t really explain this one. I’m a big fan of the mac eye
products, but as a brand I’m never sure about it. It’s quite a lot more
expensive than high street brands, but it doesn’t quite make the high end
bracket. I know some people that absolute love mac, and I will admit that some
of their stuff is brilliant. But some of it, I personally think, is decidedly
average considering the price tag. I always think that their lipsticks aren’t
great, and the packaging just doesn’t do it for me. Buuuut, I would love a mac
lipglass. I just think it looks lovely and I’ve heard such good things.
The
third thing on my wish list is non beauty related, but still something I’ve
been lusting after for a long time. I would really like, a parka. If you don’t
know what this is, it’s basically a winter coat. Think Liam Gallagher in the
music video for Little by Little. Again, this is another one of those real love
hate things. Some of you will be reading this and going oh my god what the hell
is she thinking! And some of you will know exactly what I mean. I have wanted
one of these for as long as I can remember. Maybe when the weather is a bit
more wintery I’ll be able to justify it!
Another
thing on my wish list is something I’m sure Sam would be interested in as well.
It is…. HD Brows! This is a craze that’s really taken off in the last year or
so, helped along by looooads of celeb endorsement. Eyebrows are very in at the
moment. Chunky fringes are gone and striking brows are back (Thank you, Cara
Delevingne). HD brows come from a seven step procedure, involving a shape
consultation followed by a mixture of threading, tweezing, plucking and tinting
to leave you with perfect brows. This results really are amazing. Having well
groomed brows can change the look of your whole face; and this is something
that really can’t be achieved at home with a pair of tweezers. HD brows cost
around £40, which seems pretty steep when you can get them waxed at your local
salon for under £10, but there really is such a difference in the end result.
As of yet I have not succumbed to this trend but the more people I’m seeing
with HD brows, the more I want to.
