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. 

What are you lusting after this October? 

September Lust List

1. Charlotte Tilbury - The Vintage Vamp Eye Shadow Palette

This looks like the perfect palette for A/W 13', I love the plum reds and that splash of sparkly gold, they mix so well together. These shades are my favourite shades to enhance blue eyes, I always reach for the golds and reds to make my blue eyes really stand out, so this is right up my street.

2. MAC - Just A Bite Lipstick

This is one of the new shades from the MAC Indulge collection, this is a dark, blue toned red lipstick and like the eye shadow palette is perfect for A/W. I love blue toned lipsticks as they look the best on me, usually I would aim for a darker red but I just love the colour of this.

3. NARS - Adult Content Blush Palette

I am really loving NARS Fall collection, it's so beautiful and both of their blush palettes caught my eye. I prefer this palette mostly because it has a nice mix of shades and also doesn't have Orgasm. I already own Orgasm so I don't see the point in having it in a palette as well. This contains the blushes in Zen, Miss Liberty, Deep Throat and Desire. 

4. NARS - Radiant Creamy Concealer

This has been raved about by so many people and looks like a gorgeous under eye concealer. It just looks so creamy and also comes in a range of shades, which I always find a problem with when it comes to concealer.

5. Michael Kors - Selma Tote

Oh I do love a good bag! This is one of those items I know for a fact I won't be getting anytime soon. It costs an arm and a leg but it's just so classic and classy, I can't help but drool over it.

6&7. Pandora Bracelet And Text Book Charm

I always feel like a charm bracelet and charms should be given as a gift rather than bought for ones self, but I don't know anyone who would buy me one! I really like the idea of charm bracelets and documenting your life through jewellery. I always thought it would be cool to pass down through generations. I graduate next year and would love to have something to document this event in my life, it's a pretty big deal this university stuff. 

What are you lusting after this month? 

August Lust List

2 posts in 1 day! Wahhh! Well the last post of my Decorating Diaries was supposed to go up days and days ago and it never did. And so my friends I am back again this fine evening. I've bought a fair few goodies this month (Ooops!) but there is always more on my shopping list!

1. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Corail Incandescent

Oh YSL, why you make lipsticks so beautiful yet so expensive. I already have one of these beauties in Coral Intuitive but the Corail Incandescent is such a gorgeous shade, it would be rude not to add it to my collection.

2. Granny's Attic Makeup Bag 

My clear makeup bag from boots has been driving me insane lately as it keeps falling over on my desk. I really want to get one that stands up firmly and doesn't throw my makeup everywhere. I spotted this makeup bag by Disaster Designs and fell in love. I love the vintage design and it's just the size and shape I need! 

3. Origins Make A Difference + 

The Origins Make A Difference moisturiser has been on my list for a very long time. I got a sample months ago, but when I went in to the store to buy it, I couldn't find it anywhere! They've recently changed the old Make A Difference to Make A Difference + so I'll have to get a new sample to test it out. I'm not sure whether to go for the moisturiser or the treatment so I'll have to have a test first. 

4. Urban Decay Setting Spray 

Since going back to work I've noticed my foundation looking really cakey at the end of the day. I wouldn't mind trying one of the Urban Decay setting sprays to see if it helps but if you know of any better solutions for my cakey problem, let me know.

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder 

Anastasia Brow Powder is a name I hear/read a lot about and have never tried! It's a bit hard to get hold of here in the UK, but it is possible. I'm in the market for a new brow powder set so I've got my eye on this little gem. 

6. MAC Paint Pots 

MAC Paint Pots, which ones Cat? I hear you ask, all of them is my reply. There are so many paint pots I want I'm not even going to list them. But if you absolutely need to know, the Rubenesque shade is my no.1.

7. Smashbox Primer  

I'm starting to run out of my beloved Seventeen Photo Flawless Primer so I need another gel type primer and this is always raved about. It's a wee bit more expensive than the Seventeen primer, but if it's worth it, why not eh?

Have you tried any of my lusted after products? Got any recommendations for me?

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?
