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.

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, .

June Favourites

June is Over (Hoorraaay) and here are a few things beauty/book/movie related that I enjoyed . I was stuck in between doing either a haul or a favorites post, cause they do kind of overlap, but a Favorites post starts a bit of a routine. Another thing is that i would have liked to include a Foundation and Powder but the truth is I've switched from Mac, to Inglot to Lancome over the past month and I'm not quite sure which one I like most. So, I'm still searching for the perfect foundation and powder.

 Scent
I'm always switching perfumes, so I don't really have a go to perfume, but when its summer I prefer a body spray. You can use it on its own, but the good thing about it is if you decide to use it with a perfume, which I more often than not do, its not too strong and doesn't conflict with your perfume. The one I'm using is "Boots Natural Collection Passion Fruit Body Spray"(€3.00). On the back it says Get fresh all over with a fragrant tang of passionfruit that lives skin instantly revitalised, and that's exactly what it does. Its great for hot weather, isn't too sickly sweet or overpowering . :)

Brand
This part of my favorites could have been anything i suppose, as far as brands go, and the products don't necessarily have to be for similar use as they are this month. But this month, staying in line with an overall summery feel,  I chose Soap and Glory. I've never tried out any of their products, I know they do, cosmectics and overall healthcare products, like body sprays, shower gels and so on. So I decided to start with something small and I can only say nice things. Below are the two things are got, the Hand maid  (€3.56), which is a hand sanitizer and the Hand Food (€3.05), which is just a hand cream. They're handy to carry around,he packaging is cute and both smell lovely, which they describe as fresh, fruity, floral scented. And to me it just smells like a holiday in a little tub. It's definitely given me the courage to branch out a lil bit and try a lot more from them.

 Make-up Brush
 I don't own many brushes, but I've been working on expanding my collection, so I got a new brush that I've been loving. This brush has a lid, so I can only imagine its a travel brush, the handle is pretty small.  The lid/cover for it claims it's a MAC brush, but I've never seen or heard of this one before so I have no idea. I got it from my friend so I don't know much about it. Its really soft, it perfect for applying foundation be it a mousse or liquid , which is what I use it for. Not much else I can say about this other than it does its job well.

 Eye Shadow Pallete
This picture really shows off my Camera handywork, which is a complete and utter fail. I just couldn't get it to focus but awwh well. I've been reaching for this Pallette a lot recently, it just has a few neutral colors I like to use for an ordinary day to day look. It really is a state though and I will have to replace it with something better.It's called Concepts Of Beauty, and I've never heard of them before. As you can see, quite a few of the colours are disappearing. Maybe I'll treat myself with an Urban Decay Naked Pallete.

 Blush/Highlighter
The Blusher I've been using is both a blusher and a highlighter and it's called a Defining Duo Blush, and it's by Catrice and mines in the shade 040 Chocolate Cream. Why it's called Chocolate Cream completely baffles me but anyway, I've had a love-hate relationship with this blusher generally I hate shimmer, and it has quite a bit of shimmer, which you can see better in the second picture and it's very subtle, I usually prefer more pigmented blushers. But shimmer is nice when there's sun so that's what I've been using. I use both sides together or somtimes just the lighter pink side as a subtle highlight.

 Nail Polish
I usually neglect my nails, because I'm too lazy most of the time. But this month I really got back into it and went out and both the entire NYC In a Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish collection. I Loved every single colour, it doesn't chip easily, you only need two coats because they are pretty opaque and at  €1.29 , I can't complain. They are just as good as the 60 seconds Nail Polishes by Rimmel that retail somwhere around  €6.00.Only setback is that they don't have as many colours as Rimmel does. My Favourite colour of this collection is the one below, its also the one on my nails in the picture of me holding the Catrice Blusher. Its just a perfect blue, and perfect for summer. The shade is called 296 Water Street Blue.

 Lip Balm
I get really chapped lips in the winter time, if I don't look after them. I know winter is still a good while away but I just want to get into a good routine. I've both four different lip balms over the past month or so, but I liked this one( Strawberry Carmex)  most. It smells nice and actually lasts on your lips, unlike Vaseline that you have to keep reapplying like about 50 times over the course of a day. And most importantly I feel a significant difference. The price is a bit steep for a lipbalm I guess at  €4.

 Album
As a Lot of People may know, Westlife are now gone :( I didn't get to go to the concert so I stayed at home and listened to their songs and wept.

Candle
I Love scented Candles, I can't be in my room without one lit. My Mom (Thank You) picked this one out this time, probably sick of my go to scents (Rose, Strawberry and cream) and it's just perfect for summer. It's Mango and peach and its by Star Lytes it's a soy candle too (€2), if that means anything and I can never get enough of it. I've had it on for about 3 Days and its half empty (or half full) I'm definitely going to repurchase this ASAP. 

 Hair Care 
Tresemme Heat Protect. Its the best thing that's every happened to my hair. I usually do absolutely nothing for my extensions and they suffer as a result. But this really does do wonders. Its Actually my sisters and I've used most of it up. So I'm going to have to repurchase this anyway, but won't regret it.

 The Last few things on my favorites aren't products, just Books, Tv shows etc..:)
