A Few April Wishlist Goodies

 

NARS Ethno Run Duo - I'm actually liking the look of almost all of the pairs/nail polish duos from the NARS Pierre Hardy Nail Polish collection, but the Ethno Run Duo which contains a bright orange creme and a dark navy blue looks particularly appealing. The collector in me loves the idea of the mini shoe box and dust bag these come with, too.

Armani Fluid Sheer No 6 - Armani have recently expanded their Fluid Sheer range and have added 6 new lovely colour options to the existing shade range. I'm currently lusting after no 6, which is a beautiful, translucent coral colour that I reckon would make a pretty, very natural summery blush. Swatches here.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder -I've been eyeing one of these since they started popping up on blogs a few months ago and have been stalking Zuneta and Space NK. I spotted Space NK now have them in stock, so I just need to decide on which option/colour to go with.

Bumble & Bumble Thickening Hairspray - I've been hunting around for a decent product to add volume to my fine, flat hair recently and have come across some really positive reviews for Bumble & Bumble's Thickening Hairspray. I've tried a few different things from the brand over the last few months and have been pleased with all of them, so I'm dying to give this stuff a go.

Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm - I'm a sucker for lipstick/gloss hybrids and have become slightly obsessed with Clarins lip products lately, so these are right up my alley. Clarins claim these give the colour of a lipstick, the transparency of a gloss and the comfort of a balm, which sounds absolutely perfect to me. There are four, pretty shades available, but Crystal Rose is the colour that's caught my eye. 

I hope everyone's having a nice weekend.

A Few March Wishlist Goodies

A few thing's I'm currently lusting after....

NARS Brousse Duo Eye Shadow - After recently picking up the NARS And God Created The Woman Palette, I've found myself browsing through the shadow duos available on the NARS site. Quite a few of the colours on offer have caught my eye, but there's one in particular that I'm really lemming at the moment, Brousse.

Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stains - I didn't pay much attention to these when they were released, but I've stumbled upon quite a few reviews and pretty swatches recently and am currently lusting after a few of the shades. Rose Vinyl and Corail Aquatique look particularly pretty.

Diorskin Nude Tan Healthy Glow Enhancing Powder - I received one of these in my Christmas stocking last year, but the shade is unfortunately a little bit too dark for me. The powder itself is beautiful though, and I'm very tempted to pick up one of the lighter shades on offer.

Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colours - I've been meaning to try these for quite a while, but for some reason, I keep forgetting all about them. This review and swatches at The Smallest Little Things in Life have meant Rose Gold has been added to the wishlist. I'm also tempted to give Alloy a go too, though, as looks like a fantastic everday shade.

Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation - I've had this on my to-try list since watching this video from Lisa Eldridge. My current tube of Make Up For Ever Full Cover is on it's last legs, so I thought this might be a nice alternative. And a cheaper one, too! I think it might be a little too heavy to use as a foundation, but according to reviews, it does work really well as concealer.

Have you tried any of these? What are you currently lusting after?

A Few Current Wishlist Goodies

Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipsticks are described as full coverage liquid lipsticks delivering up to 14 hours of continuous wear, with a velvet matte finish. There's a lovely range of pretty shades available, but there are two in particular that I have my eye on, Canvas and Edition. 

Clarins Face & Blush Powder. I've been eyeing a few things from the Clarins Spring collection, including the limited edition Palette Eclat, which contains a trio of fresh, complexion boosting shades, which are supposed to even out skin and create a natural finish. Plus, it's embossed with a beautiful iris flower pattern, which is incredibly pretty.

Burberry Mallow pink Lip Glow. I'm not much of a lip gloss fan, but that hasn't stopped me lusting after Burberry's Mallow Pink Lip Glow. The vibrant coral red shade looks gorgeous in all the swatches I've seen. Review and pretty swatches here on Cafe Makeup.

NARS And God Created The Woman Palette contains 6, lovely shimmering shades of shadow (Alhambra, Bellisma, Kalahari, Galapagos and Coconut Grove) in a handy palette, and also comes with a mini smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base and brush. I think it's quite reasonably priced at £40.50 (Space NK).

DJV Beautenizer Volume Mascara. According to Cult Beauty, Volume lash does for your lashes what donuts do for your arse. As the name suggests, it's a volumising formula, which is so budge-proof, you can sleep in it without it smearing or smudging, yet it removes easily with a soak of warm water, so it's gentle on lashes. I've read a lot of positive reviews on this recently and am dying to give it a go and see what it can do for my sparse, delicate lashes.
