Weekend Wishlist #004 Pastels





I've finally finished uni for my Easter Holidays (yaaaay)
I'm a pretty skint student right now but I can't wait for the last bit of loan for this year to fill up my bank account, part of its going towards my holiday to Florida and the rest is for me :) I'm living through wishlists at the moment, this is more fun because I can choose the things I want but it makes me want so so so much more! 



It doesn't help stalking blogs and youtube videos looking at hauls of make-up and clothes that people have bought.. oh I want so much. 


Theres alsorts of little bits and bobs that I need to pick up when I next go shopping; collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer, new mascara - any recommendations? I'm thinking the Loreal Telescopic, shoes - brogues or pumps for the summer/ spring time and possibly some new jewellery! Along with the Real Techniques stippling brush, blush brush and core collection... I think I've just spent my loan all at once!


Whats on your wishlist for this weekend?

Review: Bourjois Eyeshadow Review

Little Pot Eyeshadow (£6.99) Boots

I took advantage of the Boots 3 for 2 offer on make-up the other day and decided to give all you little lovelies a review of the little things I bought.
The first is a Bourjois eyeshadow, its a mineral pigment eyeshadow and the shade is number 5. I 
think its the shade rose dragree.

When looking at the packaging, I don't think Boujois can go wrong with their little round pots. They're the perfect size for make-up bags and handbags, plus they look cute displayed on dressing tables. The little button and magnet also make them ideal for carrying around, because they're less likely to spill and the little mirror inside is handy for looks on the go.

These little round pots consist of a rich powder formular comprised of 87% mineral pigments to ensure great coverage and great depth. The formula is smooth which makes them really blendable and its great for illuminating and highlighting, aswell as looking pretty as a base/ main colour.

I am in love with this eyeshadow, I didn't think it would be possible but yes it is ladies. It's such a pretty colour! I can't stop looking at it.

I love shimmery eyeshadows and wanted to build my collection of natural yet shimmery eyeshadows, that can be worn both in the daytime and in the evening.
I also thought that it would be great as a highlight on the brow bone and on the cheeks because of the light texture of the shadow.

There is also 0% fall out when I put it on my eyelid and when I was applying it to the brush, which is always good as thats something that annoys me about some cheaper eyeshadows as half of it ends up down your face somewhere.

What do you think of the colour? Can you recommend any other Bourjois products? I'm wanting a little pot blush next :)

Weekend Wishlist #003

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 


My Weekend Wish-list, I could have had 251414 times on this list but decided to cut it down to just 6, difficult I must say! Doesn't you hate it when there's so much you want but you have so little money, bring on the 4th April (student loan day!!!)

001. The stud dip dye jumper is so cute and perfect for the springtime, as its not necessarily warm enough all day for strappy dresses and shorts but this would be perfect in the evening time, or even during the day. The colours are lovely!

002. Another coral item and its a makeup bag, just perfect!!! One of my favourite colours, and the studded details adds a little something extra to it.

003. The t-shirt is just so cute, some may find it a little creepy. But for some reason it just stands out to me, just the price tag that kinda puts me off.

004. I've heard alot about this highlighter, and actually don't own one. This is perfect for those who want to save a little money on make-up items and its meant to be a really good product too. I'd heard it has been discontinued so they must have brought it back for the spring/ summer.

005. How amazing is this clutch? The perfect colour for spring/ summer, as the nude colours allow it to go with any item of clothing and the neon pink just make it even more perfect in my eyes. Definately need to purse this. It's a good size too, which means it would be good for daytime use too.

006. I just always lust over MAC products, I've wanted this for soooo long after I'd read great reviews about it, and it would look so pretty in the spring/ summertime and brighten up a face. Maybe I need to make the splurge and purchase this.

I didn't have room to fit on the Real Techniques Core Collection, blush brush, stippling brush and all the other brushes in the range. I've heard so much about them, how good they are so I feel like I NEED them so so so much!!
