Wednesday Wishlist | #4

MAC 217 and 168 brushes: £17.00 and £26.00 via MAC - I've only owned a mini brush set from MAC, but I've heard so many good things about these two brushes, especially the 217. 

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish: £21.00 via MAC - This is still on my wishlist! I always seem to find something else to buy, but I will get it one day. 

NARS Copacabana Illuminator and Multiple: £23.00 and £29.00 via NARS - Copacabana is a gorgeous highlighter from NARS, that comes in both liquid and stick form! 

NARS 'And God Created Woman' palette: £41.50 via NARS - A beautiful neutrals palette that comes with a mini brush and eyeshadow primer. I probably won't get this, but that doesn't stop me from lusting after it! 

Britney Spears Island Fantasy 50ml and 100ml: available from April - The newest release from Britney. I'm not a fan, but I think her perfumes are so lovely and afforable, and this bottle looks gorgeous! 

Maybelline Color Tattoos: £4.99 via Boots and Superdrug - I love the Colour Tattoos, I want them all. I've got my eye on the new black shade and some of the US exclusives like Pomegranate Punk!

MAC | Archies Girls Haul

Although I said I wouldn't, when push came to shove I just couldn't resist the MAC Archie's Girls collection. I could easily have bought more, but I kept my haulin' down to just two items! 

MAC Archie's Girls Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Designer Purple: £15.50 

MAC Archies Girls Lipstick in Daddy's Little Girl: £15.50

The Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Designer Purple is part of the MAC permanent collection, but in this super cute Archie's Girls packaging I just couldn't resist. I've wanted it for ages, and limited edition packaging pushed me over the edge. 

Designer Purple is a metallic purple liner with pink and purple glitter. Its absolutely gorgeous and my swatch really doesn't do it justice. 

Its a vibrant purple, and goes on really smoothly. I'd compare it to the Rimmel ScandalEyes liners and the Avon Supershock Gel liners in terms of the texture. I'd definitely buy more of these from the permanent collection. 

Next up is the lipstick in Daddy's Little Girl. This is really the only lipstick that caught my eye from the collection, as I don't own any pink lipsticks like it. 

Its a vibrant purple pink, not fuschia like Girl About Town. I'm sure MAC already have lots of similar pinks in their permanent collection but this is the first I've tried. 

Daddy's Little Girl (the name is a bit creepy!) is a satin finish, and it applies opaque. I really love it and think I'll get a lot of wear out of it, especially in summer. 

Archie's Girls is available now from the MAC website.

Wednesday Wishlist | #3

1. MAC Strength Collection Lipsticks & Liners: £11.50 - £14.00 via MAC - The recently released Strength collection from MAC has just about sold out everywhere, but I'm finding myself lusting after these gorgeous lipsticks and liners.

2. Loreal' Nude CC Cream: £9.99 from Superdrug and Boots - Soon to be released these new CC creams from Loreal' come in three different varieties, targeting redness, dullness and fatigue. I'm coveting the anti-redness version. 

3. MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pots: £14.50 from MAC - I'm a big fan of MAC paint pots and Maybelline colour tattoos, so when MAC released several colours in their paint pot range I knew I'd have to get my hands on some in the future. 

4. NARS Sheer Matte Foundation: £28.00 from NARS -  My foundation stash is running low so next on my list to try is NARS Sheer Matte. 

5. Real Techniques Core Collection: £21.99 from Boots - | love Real Techniques brushes, thats no secret. I have a few of their single brushes but I'd like to try their core collection next.

6. Topshop Lipsticks & Nail Varnishes: £5.00-£8.00 from Topshop -  I've only ever tried one Topshop blush, but I've heard so many good things about their lipsticks and nail varnishes and I'd love to try some.

YSL Glossy Stain | No.30

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope you all have a lovely day if you have someone to share it with, and if not, enjoy yourselves anyway! I finally dipped my toe into the YSL pool, and here's what I came out with: 

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in No.30 Mauve Fusain: £22.50 via Debenhams - 

Shade 30 is one of the newest additions to the Glossy Stain family, a gorgeous bright mauve pinky purple! 

It does look scary in the tube. Really really purple! But once on the lips its a bit more wearable, and I love it. I can't pull off a full on purple, but this I can get away with! 

The formula of these glosses is unlike any product I've seen before, they're almost jelly like in texture. You apply several layers, letting each one dry before applying the next one. You can build up the colour and intensity to a pretty opaque colour. 

They apply really easily and the staying power is incredible! The gloss lasts through quite a lot, and although it disappears when eating and drinking, the stain remains long after. 

These glosses come in a wide range of colours, and I think I'll be trying more of these in the future! Well done YSL!
