Wishlist #10 - Topshop Make-up

From L-R: Top - Lips / Liner / Smokey Eye Palette / Kabuki Brush

Bottom - Nails / Lip Bullet / Blush / Nails 

Shock horror I don't own any Topshop make up but I have read many a good thing about their range. There I was browsing the Topshop website and I decided to create a wishlist. Lately I haven't really had any inspiration to blog and I find wishlists come easy to me because its relatively like window shopping? Plus I love reading them because I'm nosy so I assume everyone else loves reading them? Anyways here is my list; a couple of lipsticks, a couple of nail polishes & a good old eyeliner. Their nail polish range is something I have heard good things about - the range of colours they do being one thing and the fact they last long & don't chip easily being another thing. So the two colours I chose were Blue Jeans & Wide Awake. Blue jeans is an amazing green/blue shimmery colour and Wide Awake is just the perfect orangey coral Spring colour. Everytime Topshop bring out a new lip product I always think "why have I not tried any yet?!" I read many, many reviews on  them and wonder if they are as amazing as people say they are. The lipstick looks like a subtle peach/nude colour (Ooh La La) which would be wearable for everyday and the Lip Bullet is obviously more of a statement red (Joyride) which could work everyday or be worn more for a night out. Next up is the Kabuki brush because I need a new brush and I really loved the electric blue colour! My favourite make up has to be eyeliner because it just transforms any look from simple to sophisticated. I picked this one in the colour Black Cab because I like the look of the slick & skinny design and the nib looks really easy to use. Next I chose this Golden Aura eye palette because the colours are just so neutral & easy for everyday wear or you could build them up to create a smokey eye... which I, unfortunately, cannot do very well anyways so I would just use this for some highlight and natural eye looks. Lastly, the one thing I have read so many good things about is Topshop blush. This blush is in the colour Flush, I love the peach tone and i am definitely more a peach wearer than a pink blush as it suits my skin tone better so this would sit quite nicely in my collection. 

If you have tried any of these products please let me know what you think? Wishlists make me want to buy everything I choose :(

Lots of love,

Couple of days late but I have had such a busy bank holiday! Saturday morning/afternoon I admit I didn't do much but I went out on Saturday night with my friend from work; we went to st albans and I will be talking about my outfit further down! I woke up Sunday feeling as rough as anything and had one of my friends baby shower to be at! I didn't properly get out of bed till quarter to 12 so had to rush home and get ready - turned out to only be 10 minutes late, woop! The baby shower was such good fun and it was the first time I had ever been to one, but I had a really good time. We played a few games, ate ALOT of food (I was still full up by the time I got into bed at midnight!), and watched the mummy to be open all her gifts! It was such an emotional day but I did well to hold the tears in haha! After the baby shower a few of us decided to meet our semi-drunk boyfriends at the pub! Me being hung over stayed sensible and didn't drink as not only was I suffering from a pounding headache I was so full up cos I'd eaten twice my body weight in food... Anyways I think we stayed at the pub till about 8pm and we then went back to one of my other friends house and watched tele, everyone carried on drinking but me and we played with her pet lizards Spike & Mandy! It was a really enjoyable evening and it was a nice way to spend a Sunday.

 

Onto my Saturday outfit!:

White lace crop top - Topshop

High waisted black Joni jeans - Topshop

Red Lace-up wedges - SoYouShoes.co.uk

Watch - GC

Rings - Topshop

 

I'm sorry but I've got a go out after I post this so I haven't got the time to find the items online haha! I was really happy with my choice of outfit although by the end of the night my feet were ready to drop off! These Joni jeans are my second pair because the pair I had actually turned out to be faulty, they had white stitching showing at the sides & there was a great big pull across my thigh so I exchanged them for another pair. These ones I'm wearing in the picture actually have more of a legging feel than a denim feel - its almost like they've reworked the whole jean because I know the original Joni jeans have had a few faults with them. I also had to go a size down because they're so unbelievably stretchy and are just so figure hugging I didn't even bother trying on the size 10 (which I am normally).

 

Hope you all enjoyed your bank holiday weekend :)

Have a good week.
