Current WishList

I've done quite a bit of shopping, and I'm going to have a haul post up in a few days, but being a girl there is always things I'm going to want :)

Below are Pictures of the six Items at the top Of my coveted list. I'm going to do this post often, just because I like reading them on other blogs too and I thought it would be fun to do my own.

So straight into it.

1)Ruby Woo by Mac

Raved about madly in both the blogging and youtubing community, and rightly so ! It's a matte vibrant red colour, and it's just perfect. I'm almost convinced it has magical properties that boost your confidence. All that in a lipstick ? Yeah it's €17, which is on the high end side if this but it is Mac afterall, but it's one of the things I am definitely picking up soon, to wear to my debs maybe too.

2)Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipstains

I remember reading early reviews of this from American blogs just a little whole ago and now they are available here, (Yay). They're supposed to be a dupe for the Clinique Chubby Sticks which are around €14 I think. I've never tried either if them yet, but I will most likely go for the cheaper Revlon option.
I know the packaging of both products are identical, but the Revlon ones are Lipstains whereas the Clinique ones are lip balms. Sounds pretty different to me :/ However at around the €8 mark you can't go wrong right ?

3)Mac's Studio Finish Powder

This actually isn't for me, I want this for my mam as a way to say thank you. she doesn't read my blog but she knows already. Just thought I'd stick that one into the wishlist. I probably will borrow it anyway before I get my own, they are pretty pricey, somewhere over €30 so it's a treat. I've used it before and I loved it so really it's just a long overdue repurchase !

4)Urban Outfitters Satchel

I've been wanting a satchel for ages and I know they've been in and out of Penney's (Primark) but for some reason I remember hesitating to buy one once and then finding it gone :( anyway I've had my eyes on the ones in Urban Outfitters for a while now and But I can't justify spending like €132 on a bag :/ This could be an item that stays on the Wishlist forever but I will continue hunting for dupes cause I'm sure there's plenty out there.

5)Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24Hr

I've have a little bit of history with this item, I used a tester and liked it but wasn't shockingly impressed so I passed. But then recently, I went into Town barefaced went into brown Thomas and just went foundation testing, the ladies at the Lancôme counter were do nice and offered to try it on me for free and give me a tester. I don't know what changed my mind but I loved it. I've just about completed my seven day trial so I'm hoping to get this foundation at least before College starts, no rush as it is again on the high end side of things at €33.

6)Jeffery Campbell Spiked Litas

Last but not least, I decided to put this last on the list to be kind of like a metaphor, cause this will be the last thing I get if even. They're around €180 but I don't care in the slightest. I've seen dupes for these at €40 but the spikes aren't identical, and I know that's pulling at little threads but if I get dupes they have to be perfect.

That's the Wishlist, I'll be doing these regularly. Sorry I didn't actually put the numbers beside the items, it's just because I don't know how to.

Nars A/W Scandi Rock Chic Collection 2012

As Promised yesterday on my twitter, the Nars 2012 Collection pictured below. ( Pictures are from Beaut.ie) If You don't follow me on twitter you can by clicking the tab above.

I haven't tried anything Nars before so this collection did like interest me to find out more about them. I've never seen them in Ireland but maybe I'll check them out in the UK.

The collection has a lot if shimmery products, the shimmery red lipgloss and also the shimmery red lipstick, and those have to be my least favourite parts of the collection, simply because I'm not a fan of shimmer, and it seems more to suit a Christmas collection.

I love the Matt Lip Stick though, in the twistable packaging because I've never really tried darker red lipsticks and I always prefer Matt Finishes. The packaging which is different to the traditional packaging for lipsticks makes it easier to apply, with better control and not having to use a lip pencil.

The nail polish I think is perfect for autumn, moving away from the light summery colours to cooler colours, however I'm not willing to pay 18 euro for nail polish.

All in all, the collection looks great, but the prices are a bit steep and I'm sure there's plenty of dupes out there, but they've still managed to inspire me to check them out.

American Apparel Disco pants dupe?

I'm not on the hunt for dupes today although it may seem so. I was going through Look.com, a website I only found today, don't know how I've been completely oblivious to it !

Regardless, I found these lilac metallic trousers that look a lot like AA disco pants, and I almost prefer the lilac version .

They're from the A/W Collection for New Look and will most likely be a cheaper alternative too, as the originals are at €86.

Question They may look similar in pictures but will they be as "body-hugging" as the originals ?

Looks like I might not have to break the bank after all.

Zara Bag Dupe ?

So I was browsing through Primark/Penney's Autumn/Winter Lookbook on company.co.uk when I came across the picture below.

Needless to say, this particular look below is not what I would wear, and I was just about to look at the next picture when I noticed the bag. "It can't be," obviously my first reaction.

The bag is a pretty similar copy to the Zara shopper bag (also pictured below)that I've seen on everyone and everyone's neighbour.

And I'm sure it's going to be at usual Penney's prices so a much cheaper alternative.

Can't wait !

The Amazing Spiderman Review w/Spoilers

In the title I have forewarned you all, there's going to be a few spoilers in this review, nothing major.

I went to see this last night, and I liked it just not as much as I loved Avengers but you can't really compare the two. The Avengers lacked a lot of plot and I found it justifiable because you already know the characters from the other movies, but I went int this expecting both a good plot and a but of good action.

I really didn't want it to be like the old ones, and I really think it should be called a remake for those who are calling it that, because it's a better story, with likeable characters, and good actors.

I only have one major problem with this movie, the trailers spoil it all, you already know that Oh he's brings down the tower thing at the top of some skyscraper, so when you see all the scenes before it when he is only figuring it out you know he's going to make it.

You know he has to fight without his mask in one scene which was really cool, but again you've seen it in the trailer.

But obviously there's good things for me to have liked it, I didn't get too annoyed over what the trailers took away and it was overall enjoyable to watch.

I think Emma Stone was great as Gwen Stacey, I did not miss Mary Jane for a second ! I'm working on a rating system but for now, I'll just rate it out of ten.

6/10

Updates, DVDs, Summer..

Hey Everyone, So there's a good few things I wanted to mention before I do another proper blog-post.

I was initially just going to do a haul post, but I mostly bought clothes, so It wouldn't really make sense for me to take pictures of them individually in a blog-post, I don't think anyway, It would probably be better in a video or something, because I Just think it would be too long :/ And I'm not sure if I want to start filming videos yet. But that's not to say that I won't include them in little Outfit of the Day Posts , when I get around to doing those.

I've also been using a better camera, to take my pictures, I still need to get the hang of it, getting it to focus and also maybe get better lighting , but it means more Beauty Posts :D Hauls, Reviews and so on. I'm really happy about that because I'm going to England in a few weeks and I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of beauty products to talk about.

Those are the main two things I really wanted to say, I'm also going to change the URL of this blog, just because I think its too long, I'll attach the old URL to another blog that will point you in the right direction .

Summers been alright, I've only watched two movies and a half, Easy- A and 500 days of summer, both movies that were nice to watch but I wouldn't buy them to watch again if that makes sense. The half is Blue Valentine, I'm going to finish that and write a blog-post on that for sure. I'm going to watch The Amazing Spiderman later on this week and there's definitely going to be a blog-post on that too

That's All, .
