Wednesday Wishlist | #8

clockwise from l-r:

Illamasqua Complement Palette: £34.00 - I love the mix of browns, champagne and burgundy colours in this palette. I've been lusting after it and I wish I'd bought it when Illamasqua were doing their 50% off deal!

RiRi Hearts MAC Summer Collection Lipsticks  in RiRi Boy and Heaux: £14.00 each - I've fallen in love with the retro matte finish of RiRi Woo, and the colours of RiRi Boy and Heaux are right up my street. RiRi Boy is a matte version of Up The Amp and Heaux is a dark berry.

Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Fibre Collection: £23.99 - I love love love Real Techniques brushes and I'm desperate to get this limited edition collection of brushes!

Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick: £6.99 - I'm sure I've already included these in a Wednesday wishlist, but I still haven't tried them! The colours look so vibrant and I especially have my eye on a shimmery red. 

Origins Brighter By Nature: £30.00 - I've been getting more into skincare, especially peels as of late. I've been aching to try Brighter By Nature, which contains 40 separate pads with fruit acid peel.

Models Own Splash Top Coats in Pink Paradise and Mermaid Tears: £5.00 each - These new top coats from Models Own look absolutely gorgeous!

Bailey's Bit

I'm going to try and do more lifestyle posts on the blog, so I thought I'd start by updating you on my puppy Bailey! I haven't done a post about him since we got him in November, and he's so grown up now! 

He's now nearly 9 months and he's turned out to be the perfect puppy! He's learning so quickly, he's been able to do basic commands like sit, lie down and paw since a few weeks after we got him and learns more all the time. He's still not ready to go off the lead - but we'll get there!

He's always playing with the dog next door, they love each other! Even though he's never lived with children he gets on great with the neighbourhood kids. He's such a happy puppy.

I absolutely adore him, he's so affectionate and everyone we meet falls in love with him! I honestly don't know what I'd do without him.  

Let me know if you'd like to see more lifestyle posts and Bailey updates?

UPDATED BLOG SALE | MAC, Illamasqua, Urban Decay Inglot.

I've added some more items to my blog sale! Unfortunately being an unemployed student has caught up with me and I had to take a long hard look at my make up collection and sell some lovely items that just weren't getting used. 

You can see my blog sale here: http://thebeautyfiend13.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-sale_24.html

Real Techniques | Expert Face Brush & Core Collection

I bought these a few weeks ago as an end of exams treat, and I've been using them non-stop ever since!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: £9.99

Real Techniques Core Collection: £21.99

Superdrug are now stocking Real Techniques, and they had a buy one, get one half price offer on! They didn't have the collection of eye brushes in stock, so I opted for the expert face brush instead along with the core collection. 

The Expert Face Brush is lovely, its quite small but it does a great job of buffing in foundation. I feel like it would be fantastic for using with cream blush as well, but since I'm not a lover of the cream blush I can't tell you for sure. I'm going to try it with cream highlighting/contouring products though! 

The core collection is fantastic value for money for £21.99, and contains four brushes; the buffing brush, detailer brush, pointed foundation brush and contour brush. I've been using the buffing brush to apply foundation or powder like my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish. The detailer brush has come in handy for inner corner highlighter or applying shadow to my lower lash line. The pointed foundation brush is way too small for foundation, but it makes a damn good concealer brush. The contour brush does what it says on the tin, I've been using it for contouring.

I think Real Techniques brushes are fantastic. I plan on buying most of them in the future, they're just so good!

Colours Of The Rainbow Tag

I was tagged by the lovely Laura from www.laurzrah.com to do the colours of the rainbow tag! You pick a product for each of the colours of the rainbow (and pink!): 

Red: I picked RiRi Woo, the latest addition to my MAC lipstick collection. It's such a perfect teeth whitening red and I absolutely love it! 

Orange: I don't own many orange products, but I have this Revlon Lip Butter in Jui

cy Papaya which is a lovely peachy orange shade. 

Yellow: I have no yellow make up products, the only thing I could think of was this lemon body butter from The Body Shop, the scent is amazing for summer! 

Green: Pretty easy, I have a few green nail varnishes and eyeshadows but I plumped for this minty green polish from Barry M. Looks pretty blue in the picture but on the nails it's definitely mint green.

Blue: I went for Balearic Cool from the Models Own Hed Kandi collection. I don't wear blue nails often but during the summer I'll be wearing this for sure.

Indigo: This was hard! The nearest thing to Indigo I had was this Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Never. 

Violet: Easy peasy! My MAC lipstick in Heroine is the most incredible violet colour. I'm waiting for a brave moment to wear this out but hopefully one will come soon! I can see myself rocking this in my favourite club as some of the girls there rock black lipstick on a regular basis!

Pink: I have a million pink products but I went for this Illamasqua Powder Blush in Naked Rose. It's the perfect neutral pink and goes with almost any make up look. 

I hope you enjoyed this tag and I tag anyone who wants to do it!
