April Wishlist

Today's post is all about our current wishlists for the month (how is it April already?!), including beauty, fashion and anything and everything in-between. Read on to see what we're wishing after this month.


K's Wishlist

April's wishlist for me is a bit of a jumbled one, featuring a range of things I've had my eye on for a while now, and others a bit of a necessity!

If you've been following us for a while, it'll be no surprise to you that I'm obsessed with Rifle Paper Co, and this Alice In Wonderland inspired illustration is the perfect Spring print for any wall - and shows off my tea-and-cake love! Second up isn't really an item or product, but the film Brooklyn that came out late last year. I studied post-War 1950s fashion in a few years back in Uni and the costumes in the movie look beautiful and so true to the time. I never got around to seeing Brooklyn in the cinema but being set in the early 1950s and being a fan of many of the actors, I know I'll love it.  These gorgeous pyjamas are from Victoria's Secret and come in a set with a matching eye-mask. (The Mayfair shorts set is also super cute!) I need some new PJs but I think I'll need to save a little more to afford the price tag for these ones! Moving onto beauty products, I've been lusting over both of these items for a while now, ever since the blogger and YouTuber seal of approval. I've been wanting to try out a liquid lipstick and the Kat Von D Everlasting range has had great reviews. Lolita is a gorgeous pink-brown colour described as 'chestnut rose'.  Charlotte Tilbury is a make-up goddess, and everyone seems to be raving about this product! I love the subtle highlight that is build-able to create a lovely, sculpted contour.

S' Wishlist

As you can see below, my current wishlist is very eclectic with a mix of homeware, beauty and accessories items. As I’ve been spending the last few months in the library or in front of my computer I haven’t spent any time shopping or even browsing online: explaining the miss-match of products that I have been loving over Easter.

As a fan of Lauren Conrad’s book 'Beauty', I cannot wait to get my hands on her new book ‘Celebrate’ being released in the UK on the 7^th of April. YSL lipstick has always featured on my beauty wishlists: I have heard so much good feedback and reviews on the lipstick and feel that the end of University will be the perfect time to treat myself to one. As I plan on moving home for for the summer months I have begun to look at interior ideas for my room. I LOVE anything with monograms and these coat hangers from Anthropologie are no exception. I have been lusting over the Kate Spade bangles since last summer: the pop of colour that the blue brings will brighten up anyone’s day, and finally this black backpack from ASOS is perfect for any summer adventure.

OUR TOP BEAUTY PICKS

Since starting university, we have quickly become beauty enthusiasts. Whether it's new make up releases or beauty tutorials, we are obsessed! Today we’re sharing with you our current favourite beauty obsessions.

  

Whenever I find myself late in the morning and don’t have much time to spend on my make up, I will concentrate of three features on my face: brows, eyelashes and lips.  As long as I have mascara and a bit colour on my lips I feel ready for the day ahead.

When it comes to mascaras throughout my years of wearing make up I have tried a lot, but out of all the mascaras I have tried YSL baby doll and Tarte lights camera lashes have become my all time favourites. Both mascaras give the illusion of long feathered eyelashes. 

A lip colour I am loving during these winter months is Rimmel lasting finish by Kate lipstick in the shade Rossetto. I mix it with a nude lip colour from Topshop to create a more subtle look for daytime.

Urban Decay is one of my favourite beauty brands; ever since receiving the Naked 3 pallet I am obsessed! I very rarely use any other eye shadows as I feel that all I need is in the pallet. I even use ‘Darkside’ as a brow shadow as it is the perfect colour to match my hair. The colours in the Naked 3 pallets are very pigmented, blend easily and last a long time without creasing.

I am also in love with Urban Decay’s blush pallet: the colours compliment my skin tone and the products blend perfectly for a natural blush.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow, (slightly battered!) Collection Concealer and Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish

Liz Earle: Cleanse and Polish
This plant-based cleanser has been my go-to for removing my make-up for years now (thanks to my mum for sourcing the brand in its infancy!) and I have no intention of ever changing it! The products creamy consistency is kind to my skin, doesn't include harsh or nasty chemicals and it leaves my face feeling as soft as, well, you know how the saying goes! With the starter kit (including the 100ml pump bottle and a muslin cloth) costing £15.50, it's not the cheapest cleanser on the market, but if you're looking for a more natural skincare product to include in your routine, this Liz Earle cleanser is definitely worth it.

Collection: Lasting Perfection Concealer 
This cover-up is my all-time favourite. I gave in to the hype a few years ago when everyone and his dog seemed to be raving about it, and I haven't looked back since - I've repurchased it so many times! Since I suffer from areas of redness on my face and discolouration beneath my eyes, this product is perfect for covering these unwanted areas of colour right up along with those pesky spots, and more importantly, it stays put.  Priced at £4.19, this cover-up is a no-brainer for me, as something that really works and doesn't irritate my skin, too.

Maybelline: Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow in 'On and On Bronze'
This cream gel eyeshadow from Maybelline is my definite favourite when I don't have a lot of time in the mornings, but still want some colour on my lids. The formulation is buttery and so easy to blend, a smoky eye look is easily attainable in seconds. The product claims to last for 24 hours, and although maybe it'd struggle to last that long (on my unprimed eyelids, that is) it gives a damn good go! The pigmentation of the eyeshadow is brilliant too - you can apply just one coat all over the lid for a gorgeous shimmery glow (the bronze colour matches well with my brown eyes) or can build it up for a more glam evening look, using more in the crease of the eyelid for a more smoky effect. Priced at £4.99, I'm struggling to find reasons why I haven't bought the whole range!
