October Lust List

1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

I'm running out of my Revlon Colorstay foundation, which is my current full coverage foundation. I have terrible skin at the moment and prefer a more full coverage foundation to hide the army of blemishes. I've heard such good things about Double Wear and I'm eager to give it a test. 

2. NARS At First Sight Eye & Cheek Palette

NARS seriously need to stop coming out with such gorgeous palettes, every time I get an email from them telling me about all the beautiful products now available, my bank balance cry's a little. This palette looks so gorgeous for Autumn and looks like a good all rounder!

3. Hugo Boss Deep Red EDP

One of my all time favourite fragrances, I like to stray away and try different perfumes but I always go back to this. It is currently missing from my collection and I desperately need to give a bottle a home.

4. Dreamcatcher

My new student digs is looking pretty empty and boring and with my current obsession with anything Dreamcatcher, I am lusting after this one I found on good old Ebay. It would definitely add a bit of character to my boring walls.

5&6. Sleek Romance Collection: Blush in Antique and iDivine Vintage Romance Palette

I love the new Sleek Romance collection! The palette looks so beautiful and is full of shades perfect for Autumn. Sleek are my all time favourite drugstore brand, they have amazing quality products and I need to get my hands on these!

7. Watercolour Feather Tattoo

I've been debating getting a tattoo since I was 18 and have just never had the cahoonies to do it. I'm a bit of a wimp and I could never make up my mind what I wanted! I've been looking at the new watercolour style tattoo's that seem to be growing in popularity and they looks so beautiful! I'd love to be brave enough to get this little watercolour feather on my hip.

So Much Buzzzzz | Honey By Marc Jacobs

There has been so much hype around this perfume, so much so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and purchase it. It started off with the big #MJHONEYSPOTS campaign which is where I first heard of it (It was a pretty big thing on Instagram). I will throw my hands up and admit that I'm not a fan of Marc Jacobs Daisy (I know, big shock seeing as everybody in the blogging world seems to own a bottle) I usually go for a more spicy deep scent and Daisy is a tad too floral for me.  My dislike for Daisy did make me a little apprehensive about trying this but you mustn't judge a perfume before you've had a sniff.

I sprayed this on myself in the shop to have a little test and at first I didn't really like it. I like the smell that it gave off initially, slightly floral and sweet, then the hit of honey came through and I wasn't keen. 

As the day went on I let it settle, walking around the shops constantly sniffing my wrist (probably looked a little odd). By the end of the day I was undecided, part of me liked it and part of me just wasn't sure! It's definitely a lot sweeter than anything I usually wear but the honey scent started to grow on me. It does smell a lot like its predecessor, Dot, but with a sharper honey tone.  

The bottle was the biggest reason for me deciding to take the plunge and get this. I'm a sucker for pretty perfume bottles and the cute plastic bumblebees on this had me sold. It does look like a yellow version of the Dot bottle, which makes sense seeing as it is an evolution of that scent. The size of the box is a bit OTT I have to say, I got the 50ml size and the box was mahoosive! Compared to my Jimmy Choo 100ml box it is way too big for the size of the bottle. Why so much box Marc Jacobs? 

I have to say it has grown on me since buying it, I've been using it as my day perfume and I've been loving it. It is very sweet but has a warm charm to it that I really like. Not 100% sure if I would re-purchase it when I run out, I really like it, but there are other scents out there that I absolutely love and need in my collection. 

What do you think of Honey? Love it or Hate it?

The Body Shop Madagascan Vanilla Flower Fragrance Mist

This unbelievably scrummy yummy scent deserved a whole blog post all to itself. I was looking for a day fragrance but I had extremely limited funds. I tried millions of perfumes and decided to sniff out The Body Shop. I've had fragrance mists from them before and loved them! They are really long lasting considering they aren't EDP, this one was the one that caught my eye nose instantly. I love the smell of vanilla but find that it can be a bit too sweet. This is a lovely mix of sweet vanilla and floral scents, they blend together so well and smells so warm and sensual, just my kind of fragrance. If you like scents like Hugo Boss Deep Red and Gucci Premiere, you will most likely fall in love with this. Also can be put into a travalo! How handy is that! 

Have you tried the Madagascan Vanilla Flower Fragrance?

July Lust List

I've been reading sooo many blogs lately that I have developed a rather long list of items I really really want to try. I thought I'd share some of the products that have really tickled my fancy. I am determined to own all of these by the end of the month! Money or no money (no money being the most likely). 

1. Gucci Premiere EDP - £45 30ml 

One of my all time favourite perfumes that I can never afford! I absolutely love the smell of this and often go into department stores just to take a sniff. Unfortunately it is extremely expensive, with the 30ml bottle costing a whopping £45! A girl can dream hey.

2. MAC Lipstick in Coral Bliss - £15

This is a MAC Lipstick that I've had my eye on for a while but just never seem to buy. With the prices of MAC lipsticks ever rising, it is getting harder and harder for me to be able to afford these luscious lippys. I am determined that I will own this, and soon. 

3. Moroccanoil Light Oil Treatment - £12.85 25ml

After trying the Organix version, I'm intrigued to see how it compares to the lord of all hair oil. Someone pointed out to me that the main ingredient of the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil was silicone, bad Organix! I want to see if the real stuff makes THAT much more of a difference. 

4. Dr. Jart+ Regenerating BB Cream - £21

Every beauty blogger and her dog has been praising this BB cream and I want to see why! There's 3 to choose from and the regenerating version is apparently the one that suits my sensitive skin the best. My skins been clearing up a lot lately and I want something that I can slap on when nipping out, this might just be the answer.

5. REN F10 Smooth & Renew Peel Mask - £20

I have Little Red to thank for this. After reading her review I was immediately hooked. I find it hard to find masks that agree with my sensitive skin, this one is apparently fine and dandy! I'm always after something to give me smooth radiant skin and this looks rather tempting. I have seen this in the REN Sensitive Skin Starter Set for £19, so I may buy that so that I can test out a few REN products at the same time. 

6. Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Mask - £23.95 250ml 

Another product I've seen featured on many blogs. I haven't tried any Macadamia products as of yet and I love a good hair mask. With growing my hair out, I'm constantly on the lookout for products to keep my hair healthy during the growing out process. This looks a good a place as any to start testing out Macadamia products.

7. Urban Decay Glinda Palette - £36

I very nearly bought this instead of the Naked 2 palette, I've wanted to get my mitts on this since the day it came out! I think the main appeal of this for me is the idea of a reusable palette. The packaging is so beautiful and would be a great addition to my collection that I could use again and again. Plus you get a pencil liner and a lip crayon! 

Have you tried and tested any of these products? Would you recommend them?
