High End Christmas Beauty Wishlist

With Christmas just over a month away (how has that happened?!) I thought I would put together a little Christmas beauty wishlist! As we all know, I mostly buy drug store makeup because I freak out over the price of high end stuff, but on this festive occasion I thought I'd make my choices from some of the lovely high end brands :)

The past few days I've been favouring a very pink makeup look. Usually, with my skin tone, I'm more drawn to peachy shades, but after buying myself a bold raspberry shade of lipstick from the Bourjois Rouge Shine Edition Collection (it's number 22 and it's gorgeous!!), I've been complementing the pink lip with pink cheeks care of my ELF Pink Passion Blusher and some pinky nude eyeshadows (mainly Sin and Toasted from the Naked Palette!). This has led to me feeling the urge to buy lots of pretty pink things. I did a colour coded wish list a couple of months ago and enjoyed it, so thought I'd do another one but just stick to beauty products this time (the last one included fashion too!). If you liked this idea, let me know and I'll maybe make it a little series - although when we're getting to blues and greens that might be a little trickier!

Do you own any of the products on this wish list? I've got several of the Revlon Lip Butters and I love them - Sorbet may well be next on my list!

Thanks for reading, hope you are all well!

Wishlist - Pretty Printed Dresses

Tattoo Floral Teadress - Topshop - £45

Block Print Sleeveless Bodycon - Topshop - £29

Pussycat Neon Pink and Grey Tribal Wrap Dress - New Look - £25 - New Look - £19.99

Parisian Cream Aztec Cut Out Back Skater Dress - New Look - £19.99

Bourjois Rouge Edition Shine Rouge Making Of - Superdrug - £7.99

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya - Superdrug - £7.99

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Nova - Superdrug - £5.99

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in Wine - Superdrug - £5.49

A little wish-list of pretty printed dresses and lipsticks, all from the high street! I rarely buy anything from Topshop (the prices just aren't justifiable to me!) but I really liked the print of the little white teadress, and I can't resist a bold bodycon dress! I'm addicted to the Revlon Lip Butters and Juicy Papaya is definitely next on my 'to buy' list from the collection! And although I probably wouldn't wear either the Apocalips in Nova or the Kate Moss wine lipstick (not the right shades for my skin tone!), I reckon they would look quite nice with the dresses I've paired them up with! What do you think? Where is your favourite place to shop on the high street?

Current Beauty Wishlist

1. Bourjois Color Boost Lipstick in Peach on the Beach - I have this in Orange Punch and I can't tell you how much I love it! The consistency is amazing, and the colour payoff is so good. (Superdrug, £7.99)

2. L'Oréal Nude Magique BB Blush - I've been lusting after this for weeks, every single time I go into Boots or Superdrug I almost buy it, but I've been holding off because I've bought a few new things recently, and I'm trying to be good! It blends in so nicely though when you swatch it. I guarantee you will see me reviewing this soon! (Superdrug, £7.99)

3. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - Everyone is talking about this foundation lately, and I know for a fact it's good, I used it while I was training at the Academy of Makeup, and it's so lovely. I think I might splurge next time I'm buying a foundation and go for this one, the coverage is so good. (House of Fraser, £33.00)

4.Bourjois Bronzing Primer - a drugstore cream bronzer that is under £10 and is getting great reviews... need I say more?! (Boots, £6.99)

5. Korres Lip Butter - I really, really, really want a Korres Lip Butter. I know everyone and their grandmother has one or wants one, but I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon. I saw the lovely Gillian from elevatormusik review this recently and it made me want it even more! (feelunique.com, £8)

6. Inglot Colour Play Lipstick Palette - let's just take a moment to appreciate how much fun you could have experimenting with this palette?! Again, I saw a review of this recently, Nikkie from NikkieTutorials talked about it in a recent blogpost and video, and I am so tempted by this. I could have hours of fun playing around with it! (£4.50 per lipstick, will find out the price of the palette and include it asap!)

7. China Glaze Nail Polish in Pink Voltage - I saw Ingrid from missglamorazzi wear this in her recent Get Ready With Me video, and I loved it instantly, such a gorgeous shocking pink colour for the summer! (beautybay.com, £6.95)
