My Mac Lipstick Wishlist
I’m sort of a newbie to Mac lipsticks and currently own two but my wishlist is endless and I even have a list of ones I want to get on the notes on my phone. So today I thought I’d show you the top 8 in my to buy list. At £15 a pop though it’ll sure take a while for me to get them all! I’ve always been a dark lip kinda gal but lately I’ve been getting more into pinks and nudes so the majority of my wishlist will be made up of these, with the occasional dark lip of course. So in no particular order, here we go!
• Russian Red – An intense blueish red. I’ve been getting into red lipsticks lately and I only own one so of course I need to add to the collection, Russian Red is a classic Mac lipstick that needs to be added to my make up collection.
• Diva – A reddish burgundy shade that I just need. I’m a huge lover of vampy lips in the winter and I believe this is the perfect vampy winter colour.
• Candy Yum Yum – A bright pink. As I’m trying to get into pink lips I thought this shade would be a good one to try out.
• Please Me – A matte rosy tinted pink, I’m dying to get my hands on this shade. It’s not an in your face bright pink but a more subtle pink that would be much easier to pull off.
• Dreaming Dahlia – A sheer coral/red that will look beautiful during summer.
• Rebel – A mix between plum and red, this has been on my lipstick for over a year now and as soon as I see the first sign of autumn I will be getting it!
• Pink Plaid – A matte cool toned medium pink that would go with any make up look.
• Mehr – A dirty blue pink with a matte formula, another nudey pink that I think I could easily pull off.
That’s just a small fraction of the lipsticks that I’m lusting over from Mac, have you tried any of these lipsticks, what are your opinions on them?

June wishlist
This wishlist has been one of the hardest to make as I haven’t really been dying to try anything but after sitting down to write this post I came up with a few things I need more than want really.
1. Origins Ginzing Eye Cream – I recently got the Nars eye cream as a gift and I’m loving it but I’ve heard great things from this eye cream and I really want to try it out. I have really dry skin under my eyes and I feel as though this would do a better job at helping that than the Nars one.
2. Michael Kors bag – I’m in desperate need of a new bag! This time last year I was a bag hoarder and it was all I seemed to buy, but fast forward a year I seem to use the same boring one day in day out! Even though I’ll probably never be able to afford this one it’s okay to lust after it right?
3. River Island Purse – I’ve had the same purse for nearly a year now and it’s so so dirty! I love River Island purses and I think I may have to get my hands on this one soon.
4. Beauty Blender – I’ve seen beauty blenders everywhere but have never picked myself one up as I just think it’s a lot to pay for what is basically a sponge. I’ve got to the stage where I want to know what the big deal is though and am thinking of buying a cheaper version to try it out.
5. Benefit Hoola Bronzer – I’ve known about this product for a while but I’ve always lusted after Nars Laguna bronzer and not this until recently. I went to my local Debenhamms last week and swatched this on the back of my hand and WOW! It’s completely matte and the most perfect shade to contour with, there’s no orange in there it’s perfect!
6. Benefit Rockateur Blusher – I’ve never tried a blusher from Benefit, in fact I haven’t tried many blushers at all being that I’m not a blush fan. Lately though I have been wearing blusher a lot more than I used to and this Benefit one looks so beautiful and not too harsh which is just what I look for in a blusher.
What’s on your wishlist this month?
Summer Essentials
With the weather in the UK being so nice lately, it’s inspired me to do a post on my essentials for the summer. I’m hoping to do a spring/summer make up post soon so stay tuned for that.
1. Evan Facial Spray – There’s nothing worse than being too warm and this facial spray is a great way to cool you down when you’re feeling a bit hot without messing all your make up.
2. Sunglasses – Sunglasses are must for the summer, not only do they stop you from becoming virtually blind when the suns out but they also look great if you pick the right ones for your face shape. I love a good aviator!
3. Water – Water is essential all year around but especially in the summer as your body needs more fluid in it. I’ve always wanted to try Fiji water (mainly for the pretty bottle)..
4. Bioderma Photoderm Max 50+ Tinted Face Cream – I bought this to go on holiday in December and I now can’t get enough! This stuff not only provides maximum sun protection, (great for us pale people) but also works amazingly as a foundation which leaves your skin with a beautiful glow.
5. Suntan Lotion – Obviously suntan lotion is an essential in the summer, I love the Hawaiian ones as they don’t make my skin feel sticky.
6. Polaroid Camera – I’ve been DYING to get a Polaroid camera for the summer and hopefully I’ll have saved enough to get one before the summer is over. I think it’s a really cool way to capture your summer memories!
7. Kimonos – Kimonos are really in this summer and I for one LOVE them! I’m a big fan of the floral ones, they’re light enough to wear on a hot day and warm enough for the cooler nights. The one pictured is from Oasis.
8. Coral/ Orange lipstick – Neutral eyes and bright lips is my go to look for the summer, this year I’m loving coral lips and I’m dying to try Morange by Mac.
What are your summer essentials?
April Wishlist
1. Mac Blush in Warm Soul – I’m not a big blush fan and only own around 3 colours but I feel as though this colour would suit my skintone perfectly.
2. Eos Lipbalm – I’ve been searching for these in the UK foreverrrrr! Now that I know they sell them here I’m dying to get one.
3. Mac Strobe Cream – I’ve wanted this product ever since the woman in mac applied it under my foundation, it made my skin so radiant. I need!
4. Naked 3 palette – I feel as though I need this more than I want it just so I can say that I own all 3 of the naked palettes. It does however look stunning!
5. Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel – I cannot express to you enough about how much I want this product in my life! I’m a huge fan of bronzing and contouring as I think it completely lifts your face and complexion and this stuff just looks to die for.
6. Bourjois Helathy Mix Foundation – I recently run out of my match perfection foundation and picked up the Mac Mineralize Moisture foundation as a replacement, but at £27 I feel rather bad about using it everyday so I’m thinking of picking up the healthy mix foundation as an everyday one and keeping my mac one for special occasions.

March Wishlist
1. Zara City Bag – I’ve wanted this bag for around a year now but there’s always a little voice inside my head telling me not to spend £50 on a plain black bag. The simplicity of the design is so me and it literally would go with everything!
2. H&M Croc Sneakers – These may not be to everyones taste but I personally love them and for £19.99 you can’t go wrong! I am desperate for new shoes and I think these would take me from the end of the winter right through to the upcoming summer season. Definitely on my to buy list!
3. Urban Outfitters Globe Face Leather Watch – This watch has been in my bookmarks for around 3 months now ans i’ve never got around to buying it due to always spending the remainder of my money on make up (oops!) I’m currently studying travel and tourism in college and anything with a globe or map on it I instantly want, so this is a must buy!
4. Nars Laguna Bronzer – I’ve been lusting after this bronzer for over a year and I honestly have no idea why I haven’t bought it yet. I am bronzer obsessed as I love the contoured look and think it completley frames a face so after spending the best part of a day reading and watching reviews on this product It has been on my wishlist ever since.
5. Mac Pro Longwear Concealer – I have been using the mac studio fix fluid foundation for nearly six months now (I really need to get a new bottle!) and it’s safe to say that I’ve fallen in love with it and mac in general to be perfectly honest. I’ve been wanting to try this product after watching a highlighting tutorial on YouTube, I love the full coverage matte finisn it gives and can’t wait to try it out.
6. Babyliss Boutique Soft Waves Tong – I’ve been curling my hair with my trusty mark hill raw hair curler for around two years now, and being a lover of soft wavy hair this product looks a perfect one for me try out and say goodbye to my old one.
