High End Beauty Wishlist

I seem to go through phases where I'm not interested in buying any beauty products at all, and then phases where I want to buy everything within sight, there's no real in between. I'm currently in the phase of wanting to buy everything I can get my hands on, but after my MacBook Pro broke last week, I've ended up £800 down replacing it, meaning there's no beauty spending for me. But my birthday is next month, so hopefully I might be treated to some of these!

I've really got in to buying skincare recently, after my skin had a major breakout last month I pretty much ditched everything I was using and started again, meaning a lot of Space NK trips happened. But I'm still to get in to chemical exfoliants, I thought the First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads would be a good start, they're gentle, exfoliating and don't contain a bucket load of alcohol like a lot of cheaper alternatives do. Another skincare item, that also featured in my first ever wishlist, is the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, I nearly took the plunge last week but I'm still needing that extra push, but the fact I've wanted it for over a year says something right?

I've also become massively into watching Sali Hughes recently, she knows what she's talking about and her videos are so addictive. She constantly mentions the Charlotte Tilbury Air Brush Flawless Finish Powder, and from what I've gathered I have similar skin to her, so I think this will work amazing for me, I'm constantly needing a new powder. Another Charlotte Tilbury product is the Eyes to Mesmerise in Marie Antoinette, I'm loving cream eyeshadows at the moment and when I watched this in Selfridges recently it felt so creamy and blendable, and was the most gorgeous colour.

I've also really been in to watching Lisa Eldridge a lot recently, and this has got me really craving Laura Mercier's Undercover Pot Concealer. She made the great point of rather than layering loads of medium coverage concealer on to the skin, just put a small amount of a high coverage concealer, aka pinpoint conceal, and you get a more flawless finish. Another makeup wish is the Lancome Hypnose Mascara, I got a sample of one around Christmas and I'm not sure which it was because there are so many to pick from. But I absolutely loved it, I'm so picky with mascaras because I have long straight eyelashes, that don't curl for anything or anyone, but this added so much volume and curl. At the moment I just can't bring myself to spend £22.50 on a mascara.

Two little extras are a Z palette, for years I heard American YouTubers speak about these, but I've noticed I have a lot of random single eyeshadows, and bulky palettes that would be a lot better deported in to one of these. Finally is the Urban Decay Primer Potion, I wear eyeshadow pretty much everyday and I constantly have random samples, but I think it's about time I actually got a proper full sized primer. 

What is on your wish list? 

Luxury Beauty Wishlist


Being someone who regularly reads beauty blogs and watches beauty YouTubers it's easy to amass a huge wishlist of beauty products that I want and unfortunately for me, most of them are highend, so I've compiled some of my favourites in to this post.

The Too Faced Natural Eyes palette seems to be popping up everywhere, except my local Boots. I've had enough points to buy this for a while now but my local Too Faced counter is pretty rubbish and doesn't stock a lot of the palettes in the new packaging and with me just having purchased the Naked 2 I feel this is going to stay a wish for a while. Another product I've thought about spending my Boots points on is the Estee Lauder ANR, it's been around for decades and is a cult classic! I don't know if I can ever bring myself to spend that much on a serum - although a lot of people do say to invest in the serum rather than a moisturiser.

Another cult classic is the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, this is meant to be able to solve any dry skin problems and has a multitude of uses. It's usually £26 but I've found this set on Lookfantastic for just under £15, so I might finally buy it this payday. I don't think there's any foundation raved about quite as much as NARS Sheer Glow, everyone loves it, but I'm still yet to try it. I've always just gone for drugstore foundations, but have been wanting to try this for so long!

I don't really need any brushes, but the Zoeva Rose Gold Set is so pretty I might just make an exception. The brushes look so soft and look like they'd make my makeup look so flawless.

Then for two lip products, I swatched MAC's Angel alongside Creme Cup in store but didn't buy either, then found Creme Cup half price in a blog sale so just bought that. But I still think I prefer how Angel looked, it was slightly pinkier and less nude, which I loved! Finally, there's Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk, Amelia Liana has spoken about this so much, and Charlotte Tilbury's work is just gorgeous. I'm not sure yet however if I can justify £16 for a lip liner.

What products are you lusting after at the moment, and which of these do you think I should finally take the plunge on?
