Wish List

                                                      
                                                                     --------------------------------
Hiya guys, so in around a week it's my birthday so I thought I'd do a kind of wish/birthday list post just to show you things I'm really hoping to get and get very get use out of them. So I've been really loving the GEEK jumpers and tops Topshop have been doing, I know quite a few people who have got the tops as they do them in blue, red, and green I think, the top is £18 and the jumper is £28 which isn't that bad considering it's Topshop, but I see that other shops like Miss Guided have similar tops.

 Another thing which I don't expect on getting for my birthday but if I save up I might get is the American Apparel Disco Pants, now I have ALWAYS wanted a pair of these but they are just so expensive at £74. My sister has a pair of the Disco Pants but sadly they do not fit me so I always get very jelous when she wears them.

 Also I have a bit of a obsession with watches, now my sister has decided to take back the watch I'd been wearing I have asked for a gold Casio watch, I have seen many reviews and one of my friends has got it, and it's just made me want it so much it's quite light weight and I like that fact it is shows digital time, you can get different colour Casio's but I prefer the completely gold one I feel it is more sophisticated and could bring a whole outfit together.

I am absolutely in love with Taylor Swift, I listen to all of her song and I feel she is an great inspiration to young girls and some teenage girls! So I have heard some of the songs on her new album and have decided I really want it. I prefer to get CD's instead of downloading because I listen to a lot of music in the car.

I have seen a lot of people wearing 'above the knuckle rings', and I got very interested in them. I have been trying to see where you can get them, and found that on regal rose you can get a cross and a skull ring for £8 each and on Ebay you can pretty much get anyone because...well its Ebay. But I like the simplicity of the plain 'above the knuckle rings'.

Last year for my birthday I asked for the Urban Decay Naked Palette. Because I watch a lot of YouTube videos, I have seen a lot of YouTubers rave about this palette! It is basically 12 neutral, everyday shades that are matt and shimmery and look good on any colour skin, weather your very pale like me or quite dark in skin tone. It also comes with the Urban Decay Primer Potion which is very famous in the beauty world.

So there is some of the things I have asked for, for my birthday and have on a general wish list! If there is anything on this that you want me to tell you about just ask, thanks for reading and I might do a 'what I got for my birthday' post.

Products I'm Loving

1) Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder - 2) HD Brows Kit in Bombshell - 3) Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Mascara in Black - 4) MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 - 5) Benefit Poreffesional Primer - 6) Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Pinched - 7) MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC15 -
                                                             -------------------------------
During these few months I have been collecting each of these items and have fallen in love with all of them. 
1) Bourjois Bronzing Powder - gives such a natural tan and glow to the skin and is also great to contour with, a bonus of it is that is smells amazing and looks like four blocks of chocolate. 
2) HD Brow Kit - is my number one product for doing my eyebrows, I prefer to use powder when filling in my eyebrows so this is a great product, its comes with different eyebrow colours and doubles up as a eye shadow palette. 
3) Bourjois Mascara - is a must have for me as I have very short and stubby eyelashes, this mascara elongates and volumises my eyelashes and makes them look full and long.
4) MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - this foundation is full coverage and leaves a flawless, dewy finish to the skin. It is great to work with as it is easy to blend with the right brush. I have been using this foundation for a while is by far the best out of the others I have.
5) Benefit Porefessional Primer - this is a specialist balm that reduces the appearance of large pores, you put it on under your foundation. It is oil-free, lightweight, translucent and is silky smooth. It is also a great base for your foundation and blends the foundation in better.
6) Revlon Photoready Cream Blush - the colour of this blush isn't a colour I'd usually go for as I have very pale skin, but as soon as I saw this blush I absolutely loved the colour and when I swatched it, it was even better, I'd say this blush suits pretty much every skin tone and give a great peachy sheen to your cheeks.
7) MAC Studio Finish Concealer - this product is a holy grail item for me, I don't know what i'd do without it. Because I have quite bad dark circles, I need quite a high coverage concealer and this is the one. Just put it on your finger and apply to the areas its needed and spots, blemishes, dark circles have disappeared. Its an overall great product, and I will be re-purchasing it when I have run out.

                                                 ---------------------------------------
So today me, mum and my sister all went to see Lion King at Bristol Hippodrome, and I thought it would be a great oppotunity to take a quick picture of the outfits we were going to wear. My outfit is quite casual but the lace collared top and the watch gives the outfit a bit of femininity. I didn't want to go to casual and wear trousers to I wore a pair of wool tights with some shorts I had cut up, and added studs to give the outfit a bit of edge, then I finished of the outfit with a great leather rucksack that I got from my nan. My sister on the other hand went for a slighty more dressy outfit with the flowy grey skirt, but again to give the outfit a bit more edge and make it more casual she add a studded belt and a simple black faux leather jacket and a pair of worn boots. Both outfits are very comfortable and look effortless and they are both kept up warm while in the theatre and outside.

Recently I have been loving Topshop clothes, although something's can be very over priced I feel overall Topshop has very good quality clothes, shoes and accessories. With the arrival of autumn and winter I have been stocking up on deep coloured clothes and shoes with the exception of the cream beanie. I have been saving up my money to buy some of these new items and am I love with absolutely everything. I hope I will get good use out of all of these bits of clothing. I especially love the shoes (a early birthday present from my father) they look great with some wool tights, a simple skater skirt and a graphic tee. They also keep my feet really warm which is essential during this (very) cold winter. And I particularly like to put the sweater over the lace top with the collar out, it give the outfit a very different style.
