Wednesday (Saturday!) Wants #25

Well hello there, 

sorry this is late!

First thing I have been drooling non stop over is this amazing jumper from H & M.

I love how cute/hideous it is, the lovely mint colour it's in, and how the cat has different coloured eyes! 

At £24.99, this definitely wouldn't break the bank, and would keep me warm in this snow we are supposed to be getting soon!

Next, this pair of shoes from Zara. I love how casual yet cool slipper shoes look, and the sparkly red stones on these really add some colour and bling! These were £29.99,but are now £16.99.

Lastly, Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara in Extreme Emerald. Now, I would be the first to scoff at a green mascara, if I hadn't tried it on recently. When just added to the tips and lower lashes, this really gives a lovely look to the eyes. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but it seems to make the eyes seem brighter, and I really love the contrast of the green with my hair. Seems crazy, but this is definitely worth a look. £22.

What have you been eyeing up this week? Thanks for reading! :)

Wednesday Wants #22

Morning!

Here's what I am lusting after at the moment. My spending ban is actually over now (yay!), but I'm still trying to be sensible with my money, and am attempting to wait a while before purchasing products, and do less spur of the moment shopping. That's the plan anyway!

First up, is this beautiful magnetic quad from Art Deco, by Dita Von Teese. It comes empty, but you can fill it with multiple combinations of blusher, eyeshadow and applicators. I love the packaging of this, and it has a really good sized mirror inside. I'm hoping to get one of these and fill it with eyeshadows. They have a wide range of colours, and I particularly like the matte mid brown shades (can't remember the number of it!).

This is £14 from Debenhams. The individual eyeshadows are £6.

Next up, a new product from Marks and Spencers. I'm very into my foaming face washes, and as soon as I smelt this one I knew I wanted it! It has quite a strong, herbaly smell, which may put off people with sensitive skin, but I love it! This has a minimum of 95% natural ingredients, and is free from Parabens, Silicones and Mineral oil.

This is £5 for 125ml from Marks and Spencers.

Lastly, is this Barry M nail varnish in Gold Mine. I have a lot of love for Barry M nails varnishes, and as the weather is getting more wintery, I'm getting excited again about festive nails! I've Googled this, and  the pictures look absolutely beautiful!

£2.99 from Boots.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to link any wishlists below, or let me know if you have any of these :)

P.S If you have a minute, could you please fill out my survey? Thanks in advance!

Wednesday Wants #20 Fragrance Frenzy!

Afternoon :)

This week I am lusting after alottt of perfumes! At work the other day, I was asked to cover the fragrance counter for a bit, and I spent that time testing out every single perfume I could, and making a mental fragrance wishlist. 

Here are my favourites....

Excuse the terriblee pic!

First up, Taylor Swift's new (and first, as far as I know) perfume, Wonderstruck. This has top notes of Strawberry, vanilla and also includes freesia, amber and blackcurrant. On me, this fragrance reminds me alot of Britney Spears Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy, but no where near as sweet. This is very easy to wear, and I can't imagine anyone disliking it, no matter what your scent preferences.
£28.50 for 50ml at theperfumeshop.com

Insolence by Guerlain is an unusual fragrance. To my untrained nose, this smells just like Parma Violets, which is no bad thing! I've recently become obsessed with finding a new fragrance that is unique, and that wouldn't be worn by tonnes of other women wherever I go. I think this may be it, and it's going right to the top of my birthday list! It's quite a powdery number, as I've said, this has strong violet notes, but also berries, tonka bean, rose and sandalwood.

This is pricier, at £39.99 for 30ml EDP from theperfumeshop.com

Lastly, the new perfume from Lancome. I already love Midnight Tresor Rose, but I think this newer one has overtaken it in my favourites! As far as I know this isn't actually out yet, but I've had a few small samples of it, and I have never in my life had so many compliments on how I smell!  This has notes of praline, jasmine, vanilla, tonka bean and pear. To me, this is similar to Prada's Candy, but not as sweet. On me, I feel this is quite musky. 

So, there we have my fragrance list! There are more that I want (Illamasqua Freak, Marc Jacobs Daisy etc..), but these are my pick of the bunch!

Anyone lusting after some perfumes? Or own any of these? :)

Thanks for reading!

Wednesday wants #1

Hey guys!

So I'm hoping this will be a regular feature, every Wednesday  I'm going to post a few frivolous things that I want but I'm too poor sensible to buy!

So, on to the things I'm lusting over this week.

Pic from Office.co.uk

How gorgeous are these shoes?! Unfortunately they're £75. I also haven't worn heels in about 3 years, so they'd be a pretty pointless purchase!

Secondly, the Clarisonic Mia. This has been on my wishslist for sooo long! One of these days I'm just gunna suck it up and buy it, but it's £120! I justify it to myself by saying that I won't need to spend so much money on skincare as it will do such an amazing job of sorting my skin out....Preferably in red, lilac, or this lovely baby blue colour, but I wouldn't say no to it whatever the colour!

Lastly a bit of random one! I worked in a phone shop for a while, and this launched while I was there and I fell head over heels in love with it! In person it looks so much more gorgeous, and it's really quick and hi-tech! I've got an old Blackberry at the moment and I love the way they look. I briefly thought about getting an Iphone, but I can't handle touch type!

So there you have it, a random assortment of things that have been occupying my mind recently! Feel free to link any wishlist type posts, or just write what you're lusting after in the comments, I love to know what other people are thinking of buying! 

Thanks for reading, hope everyone is well! :)

P.S Tweet Tweet!

Ramblings.

 Hey guys,

I'm currently snuggled up on the sofa with The Worst Cold Ever. I've found that the only thing getting me through the misery and boredom of being ill is about 4 litres of hot tea, my cat and a nice browse of some beautiful things on t'internet! 

Lots of tissues, and vaseline for my sore nose are also vital, but not quite as fun! 

I thought I would share them with you, as there's some real beauts around at the mo :)

This gorgeous dress is £95 (ouch!) from Topshop.

 I love velvet and lace, so this ticks all the boxes for me!
