A 15 Item Nordstrom Wishlist

Published by

Going through my draft posts yesterday, I realised that this one had somehow fallen through the cracks and never been completed/ published as intended 8 (!) months ago. Despite the amount of time that has passed, I still find it 100% relevant, especially since (*shock, horror*) I have not yet got around to purchasing any of the items mentioned. So, without further ado, here’s my (much neglected)  ’15 Item Nordstrom Wishlist’: LORAC ‘PRO’ Palette (38.91€) Jouer Anti Blemish Matte Primer (35.20€) Sara Happ ‘The Lip Scrub™ – Crème Brûlée’ Lip Exfoliator (22.23€) Jane Iredale ‘Magic Mitt’ Makeup Remover (13.90€) Mario Badescu Drying Cream (15.75€) BeautyBlender ‘Blendercleanser Solid’ Makeup Sponge Cleanser (14.78€) TheBalm® ‘Nude’tude Naughty’ Eyeshadow Palette (33.35€) Kiehl’s ‘Midnight Recovery Concentrate’ Elixir (42.62€/ 64.85€) Smashbox ‘Photo Finish’ Light Foundation Primer (33.35€) Mario Badescu Drying Lotion (15.75€) Deborah Lippmann ‘The Stripper to Go’ Nail Lacquer Remover Finger Mitts (11.12€) Clarisonic ‘Mia 2 – Pink’ Sonic Skin Cleansing System (138.04€) Smashbox ‘Full Exposure’ Eye Palette with Mascara (48.17€) Lipstick Queen ‘Velvet Rope’ Lipstick, in Black Tie (46.32€) …

January | Beauty Wishlist

Published by

I don’t know about you guys but I keep jotting down lists of things I want to buy/try, then get totally swept away by the constant flow of beauty products and somehow always end up purchasing a whole lot of unrelated (albeit still exciting) items instead. So… In an effort to better focus my spending (not to mention have new and “relevant” products to share with you all) I thought I’d start publishing a monthly ‘Beauty Wishlist’. Around the end of each month I will post a list of all the products that caught my eye during its course – then make a point of actually purchasing/ reviewing things off that list, instead of off every actual and/or virtual beauty nook and cranny (like I currently do). Knowing me there will always be the odd, irrelevant purchase but I am kind of hoping to get myself “streamlined” into buying more of what I really want to try instead of the gazillion-th rosy lipstick or nude eye-shadow. Here’s the list for January (see above): 1. Clinique, …

Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Désir De Jour’ Favs

Published by

Above (Clockwise): Ombres De Jours Couture Palette Collector, Rouge Volupté Shine No. 28 Rose Intime and No. 29 Ambre Indescent, Volupté Tint in Oil in no. 5 Cherry My Chérie and No. 6 Peach in Love, Palette Lumiere de Jour Glow Enhancing Pressed Powder, La Laque Couture in no. 59 Nuit Noire and no. 58 Nuit Blanche. I have the sneaking suspicion that this ‘Spring Collections’ thing might not bode well with my desicion to save money but, seriously, how can one resist (at least, making wishlists for) them? The YSL Désir De Jour one features too many gorgeous things not to take notice. I highly recommend checking out the full range & grabbing your favorites before they fly off the selves. I love all of the products above but, realistically, I think I’ll go for one of the Tint in Oils (no. 5 Cherry My Chérie), the two nail polishes & the darker Rouge Volupté Shine. What do you think? Already got your hands on some items (what did you think)? Planning on buying any …

Girlfriend of the Bride…

From L to R: Zara Dress with Cut- Out Back, Zara Printed Maxi Dress, Zara Printed Dress with Wide Straps, Lynne Maxi Wrap Dress This coming June, on the 21st to be precise, one of my girlfriends is getting married. Which would be perfect, except for this: I’ve lately gained a bit of weight, resulting in most of my “dressy” clothes not actually fitting me. It is thus, that I find myself in need of purchasing something new for  the event (not that I’m complaining, of course). Following a bit of online browsing I’ve, so far, come up with four dress options (two maxi ones, one knee-length and one mini – as pictured above). I’m gravitating towards the longer lengths and might end up choosing between the navy-white wrap and knee-length emerald-green numbers above, but I’m still not 100% sure – which is where you stylish, fashion- conscious people come in!  So, let’s hear it: which of the above would you chose for a relatively laid back wedding & reception (if you were pear-shaped with …
