Lust List #1

Hello all and welcome to another post in which I lust after makeup and clothes I can't really afford (my life in one sentence). I hope you enjoy!

Jewellery:  If you can't tell by the above picture and previous blog posts, I love delicate and fine jewellery, particularly rings and 'hand jewellery'. It's my (not particularly successful) way of disguising my man hands. Asos have such a wide range of rings at reasonable prices and the hand harness is something I really want to try for the boho vibe it gives.

Trousers: As someone who has to wear black for work I am always looking for black trousers and as someone who loves to wear black that is totally fine with me. Black trousers go with everything and I think everyone should have a pair in their wardrobe. However in an attempt to switch things up (but not that much) I think I'd get a lot of wear out of a grey pair. Both the trousers are from Topshop so, expensive but gorgeous.

Nail Varnish: If I had it my way I would wear autumn nail colours all year round. Essie's Bordeaux is a stunning dark burgundy and After School Boy Blazer is a definite blogger favourite and is currently on Fragrance Direct for £2.49 so I may have to place an order before it gets snapped up. 

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers: I'm getting pretty sick of stealing my sister's eyelash curlers to be honest and I'd finally like a pair of my own. 

Dark Red Lipstick: I mentioned in my last post that I was looking for a pure dark red lipstick without any plum or berry undertones and Mac's Diva and Nars Audacious lipstick in Olivia look to be the perfect fit however I'd need to swatch them first before taking the twenty four pound plunge.

The Virtual Domination Palette: I saved the best til last. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? The Virtual Domination Palette from Nars is exclusive to Space NK, it features two limited edition blushers and the ever popular Deep Throat blusher plus a highlighter and Laguna bronzer and it is per-fec-tion. It comes in at £45 which is rather hefty but that's what perfection costs I guess. 

Thanks for stopping by! Lots of love,

Wishlistin'

It's that time again! Annie's favourite kind of post! A wishlist!

1. My favourite thing of all time is something that looks more expensive than it actually is. At £20 this is an absolute steal because it looks so classy and stylish. I love the large face and thin strap and how simple it is.
2. In every wishlist I seem to feature something that I'm obviously not going to be buying anytime soon. The Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Red Square is exactly the kind of colour I'm trying to get into wearing on my lips. The perfect bright red in my humble opinion.
3. Next is this stripey top. I tried it on in New Look but I bought the yellow top featured in yesterday's post instead but I really liked the cropped baggy style. It looked really nice with my plain black trousers and a bold lip. I think we all need a good stripey top in our lives.
4. Continuing my yellow obsession, I came across this yellow blazer on Boohoo.com and I'm feeling the itching and the scratching that lets me know I want to make an order. The shape looks like it would be mighty flattering and great for spring days where it's still a bit chilly.
5. This cute little earring comes in at a slightly silly £16. Hashtag sad times. But I've wanted something like it since I got my conch pierced last year and they're so hard to find so I really want to get this one so I can finally end my search. Hashtag tempted.
6. I want to try all Micellar waters for some reason and Nivea are the latest skincare company to bring one out. I'll probably get this one when my other one runs out as it is only £3 and it's good to test the waters.
7. And lastly is the Garnier Miracle Skin Cream. Every time I go in to Boots I swatch this and I think it makes such a difference but I've never actually taken the plunge. I definitely have some doubts about it but I think it might be time to make the commitment.

Thanks for stopping by. Lots of love,
