July Wish List

My wish list this month has been building since early June! There are more items than this this month but I thought I'd focus on these, which are my musts for July.

1. NARS Highlighting Powder, Albatross 

Since buying my MUA Shimmer Highlight, which I love, I've been researching to find another highlighting powder that isn't quite as shimmery, that can be worn on a daily basis. I've been recommended the NARS Highlighting Powder in Albatross by Daniella Beauty Junkie and thought it was definitely worth a try. You could buy this from a NARS counter - but unfortunately we don't have one of those in Cornwall, so online it is! I've found it at John Lewis for £21.50.

2. Essie Nail Polish, Cascade Cool

I don't yet own any Essie polishes (chock, horror!) and would really like to get my hands on a couple this month. The first is this sweet dusky pink, Cascade Cool. This is such a pretty colour and could well become a staple for me. I've had a look around online and there are some really great offers on eBay at the moment on Essie nail polishes, with some at just £3.99. Bargain!

3. Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre

This is something I've heard a lot about over the last few months and has apparently been a staple in most makeup artists kit for years - um, where have I been?! I discovered this again on Daniella's blog. This is a perfect base to makeup, as well as being a smooth, delicate cream that nourishes areas of dryness and protects your skin from environmental aggressors. To me, it sounds like the perfect addition to anyone's skincare and makeup routine. You can get this from Cult Beauty, £18.50.

4. Essie Nail Polish, Butler Please

My second Essie nail polish wish this month is Butler Please, this gorgeous bright blue lacquer. I've never worn a blue nail polish of this bright shade before, so really looking forward to trying it. Again this one can be found on eBay for just £3.99.

5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Watch, model no: MBM 3102

I am obsessed. These watches are simply gorgeous and for about three months now I have been obsessing about when I will be able to get my hands on one. So maybe this month ? Maybe. Ladies Marc Jacobs watches are available in various designs and colours, but my favourite is this one, which is rose gold plated, with chronograph, rose dot hour markers and the Marc Jacobs engraved around the face. Available from John Lewis at £259, I think I might have to save a little. Be worth it thought with this beautiful gem on my arm!

6. New Look, Light Blue Washed Effect Denim Jacket

I actually had a cropped denim jacket a number of years ago and took it to a charity shop a little while back. What?! Stupid me because now I want a new one! This one from New Look is really cute and at £17.99 is great value. Perfect to team with a maxi dress and sandals this summer.

Are any of these wishes on your list too? Would love to hear from you! 

May Wish List

There are a few things on my wish list this month. Can you tell that I'm starting to think about warmer weather and sunny days?!

Head Scarf
I love head scarves, especially when worn with an 'up do' like Cheryl Cole pulls off so effortlessly. I'd love to get one, preferably floral, as this is a look I'm really loving at the moment. There are some really cute ones in Accessorize UK, including this Butterfly Blossom Silk Scarf, £12. The detailing is gorgeous.

Floral Blazer

I would love a floral blazer and saw this Fresh Bloom Blazer on-line from Nasty Gal for $68. With it's floral print and faux slit pockets, I think it would look great with jeans or a simple coloured dress.

Stila Lip Glaze

This Winter Lip Glaze Set is available on the Stila site at the moment for just £16, an absolute steel considering the set is actually worth £60! Mine is on order, so grab one quick if you like it too!

Leopard Print Bikini
I've admired leopard print bikinis from a far the last couple summers and not really found one that suits me but this summer I think I may have found it in Next, for £28. 

The leopard print is purple, pink and black and I love the wide legged briefs and scrunch, tie middle to the bikini top. I think it's really flattering and definitely on my wish list. I just wish the waiting list at Next wasn't over 4 weeks! I'm not sure I can wait that long!

 

Pink Lace Trainers
These cute pink lace print trainers from New Look, £12.99, are really sweet. They look a little like Converse from a distance but with an extra injection of femininity. I love these and can see how they would add a little glam to a casual outfit.
