End of Lent Wishlist

The end of lent is still painfully far away yet I'm already thinking of the things I want to buy when it's over. Even worse, I've just found out there's a Space NK right near my new job. I feel the need to apologise to my bank account in advance. 

1. Does blusher get any cuter than these new Clinique cheek pops? It's a flower for the love of god. Nothing says spring like this new launch and let's just say I wouldn't kick them out of bed. 

2+3. I'm a total bandwagon jumper and if I see something on more than one blog then I have to have it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who acts this way. I'm also getting really into bases at the moment because I think if your skin looks nice then the rest of your makeup will look better too so I'm looking to try new things.

4. The thing I love most about the look of the retractable bronzer brush is how blunt the top of it is. I want to touch it, don't you want to touch it? I want to touch it. It would fit really well  into any makeup bag or storage and I bet the retracting motion is really satisfying. 

5. 'Ello 'ello 'ello whats this? Another base product? Well yes, yes it is but it's a mineral powder which is uncharted territory in my makeup history. However it's something that has been creeping on to my radar and I think its time I dipped my toes into the mineral powder water. 

6. What pretty lil' things these pastel shades are. I know there's more but I chose these two to represent the range. They're beautiful however I've never tried a L'oreal nail varnish before so that's another reason I want to try them. Although I have a feeling I will never find a nail varnish formula that will stick to my nails.

7. This would be an extremely naughty purchase on my behalf considering I am seeing no benefits of my makeup ban but I'm going to feel so proud of myself if I manage to go all of lent without buying any makeup I'm going to convince myself I deserve a treat. 

8. And last but not least I would like to try a felt tip type eyeliner, particularly one with a thin nib so I can be really precise with the ol' eyeliner wing. Hence this Topshop one but I'm also interested by Rimmel and Bourjois options. Decisions, decisions!

Thanks so much for reading! Lots of love, Annie xx

1. I've heard such mixed reviews about this Miss Manga mascara that I have to find out whether it works for me or not. 

2. This is the first of 2 cheek and/or lip products I've wanted to try one of the Stila Convertible colours for the longest time, the price tag being the only thing that's stopped me. I'm becoming more and more tempted by the day.

3. And the second cheek and lip tint is Lollitint by Benefit. I saw Gabriella of velvetgh0st use this in a recent tutorial and it looked stunning. I don't have any other products by Benefit but I think this would be a great first purchase.

4+5. The 217 brush has been added then removed then added, then removed again from numerous online baskets but I've never taken the plunge. Probably because it's not a necessity in my brush collection. The 208 brow brush however is absolutely essential. The brush I'm using at the moment was only meant to be temporary and my eyebrows deserve better.

6. Okay, so obviously I'm not going to spend £70 on a coat but I saw this on the H&M website and almost fell off my chair. I think it's amazing. It looks like it came straight off a catwalk somewhere. 

7.Here's another product that deep in my heart I know I'm never going to own but I'm always on the hunt for the perfect contouring powder and I've heard nothing but good things about Kevyn Aucoin's Sculpting Powder.

8. At first I was really on the fence about skorts but I'm growing to like them more and more. This plain black one from New Look seems like the perfect start for a skort newbie.

9. This is my most lusted for item at the moment. I am more than willing to spend £15 to get my hands on the Anastasia Brow Pomade. It wasn't until I saw Alix of ICovetThee use it in her Everyday Makeup Tutorial that I knew I needed this in my life. My slugs need some loving and I think this is the perfect product.

Thanks for stopping by, lots of love
