Okay so I decided to make myself a beauty lust list because there are sooo many beauty products that I have read about recently and i've thought to myself, wow I want and NEED that. Aha, and it isn't even Christmas yet so I think I will have to treat myself to a few of these, as I know that by Christmas there will be so many more things that I want. I may start doing this at the start of every month and then set myself the goal of buying every product on my list (or at least a few of them!) by the end of the month. So, what exactly do I want, and why?
#1 - L'oreal Lumi Maquique - Highlighter , if you're a regular reader you will have seen me rave about this product over and over again. It's just a shame that it runs out so so quickly. Absolutely gutting actually how quickly it runs out, I need an endless supply as i'm forever replacing this product, but it genuinely is so soo good. I love it. If you missed my review you can read it here and see what the fuss is about.
#2 - Tea Tree Toner Water - Lush - Aaaah Lush...I used to be obsessed with Lush and I cannot remember the last time that I actually bought anything from there. I always forget that they don't just do bath bombs and I was really excited to read an interview with another blogger in this months Joliebox magazine and she said this toner is one of her favourite items, it apparently 'detoxifies oily skin...and takes control of troublesome pores.' This could just be hype, but I do think it's worth a shot after reading many positive reviews about it, especially because I currently use Dermalogica which is extremely expensive (particularly on a student income which is usually £0) and it doesn't have the calming properties of this Lush toner. I will be in touch after I have bought this product... which should be very soon as I really really want it!
#3- Nars eyeliner - Basically, I just want a product from Nars. Give me any product! I have never ever used anything from Nars and I think I owe it to myself to give this brand a shot. This eyeliner caught my eye though as it is like an actual felt pen. However, this is around £18 which is ridiculous for an eye liner, so I may have to look at some cheaper brands to help me out. What are the best Nars products to use? does anyone know or can anyone recommend any?
#4 - Ciate Caviar Nail Kit- If you read the article below this, you will see that I am dying to try the Caviar manicure! It basically makes your nails look 3D with gorgeous pearly type beads, of course it looks ridiculously cool. I really need to give it a go and I've promised my readers that I will try this as soon as I get my hands on the kit, I particularly like the white pearl one.
#5 - Dr Bragi, Marine bio-exfoliant- Aaahh after getting this in last months Joliebox I am hooked. I only got two small samples but I am going to have to buy the bigger version for Christmas as it just makes my skin feel polished, renewed and bright. This is going to be my new skin saviour and I can't wait to do a full on review of it. Thank you Joliebox for bringing this product into my life.
#6 - Make up Forever concealer palette- I just want this because Kim Kardashian uses it apparently... But also, I have some other make up from Make Up Forever and it is really quite good. Bring on the HD face, which Make up Forever promises to give you with their products. Unfortunately this is rare to find in the UK so I may have to wait until I go to American/Paris to find this product!
#7 - Duwop Lip Venom - I've wanted this ever since I read that Katie Price wears it to plump her lips, as much as people don't like Miss Price, I do think her lips are enviable (okay they are fake) BUT, I suppose this little lady could help along the way. I want that beesting effect without having to have surgery and I have heard amazing reviews about this tingly product.I have wanted it for soo long, they even sold it on one of my flights and I still didn't buy it. Maybe it's just not meant to be? I really need do want in my life though... hmm..
#8 - Cupcake face pack - Lush - Another one from Lush, I've really got into face packs recently after using GlamGlow. I then realised that I used to use Lush facepacks all the time and I haven't done one for ages now, in fact I haven't even entered a Lush store in ages. But, my fave of all time has to be their chocolate cup cake mask. I was reminded of this product when I saw another blogger review it and after reading the technicalities of it, it is good for the skin apparently it gives it a deep cleanse absorbs oil and moisturises. I think i'm gonna go buy myself this now and actually trial it as a blogger trying to help others out, not just a young child wanting to smear chocolate on my face!
Have you used any of the products above? What's on your October Lust List?

If you want a drug store alternative to the eye liner maybelline's master precision collection is great.

Aaaah yay, thanks for the help. I will try that one out instead of the Nars one with a hefty price tag! Yeah their blushers do always catch my eye so I may have to see if there are any that are reccommended! Thank you so much for your help x x x x x

Me too, omg I've just been on the website and they literally stock some amaaaaaaaazing stuff now, I don't know why I haven't bought any of it before! It all looks amazing:) They even do teeth cleaning tablets?!?! xxx
DeleteI'd love to try out the caviar kits :) I think they look fab for a night out or a special occasion. I love the cupcake face mask from Lush. It's sooo good! It left my skin feeling amazing & really gets rid of excess oil. I did a review of it on my blog actually :) xx
ReplyDeletejensbrightandbeautiful.blogspot.com
Me too, 100% as you can tell from the above! Yeah I think they'd be a great talking point as well to be honest. I think they'd be amazing for a wedding or something. Aaaah I am gonna go and read your review now, thank youuuu :) xxxx
DeleteI adore NARS, but it is expensive! I use the Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm blush every single day for a fail-proof face. I have a ton of lipglosses, lipsticks, eyeshadows but I think the best to try would be one of their 'Velvet Matte Lip Pencils' - the colour range is amazing, it lasts forever and there truly is no other product in the market like it - have a look at the range here... http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/color/lips/lip-pencils/~/velvet-matte-lip-pencil
ReplyDeleteI paid £25 for a Ciate Caviar Manicure set when they first came out, dont waste your money! The beads loose their colour as soon as you wash your hands & turn a rubbish rust/silver shade, it literally looks good for 2 hours max. Such a shame, I wanted to love it!

Aaah I have never used Nars, everrr so I need to invest I think?! Aah that's interesting as i've heard soo much about the orgasm blush so I may invest in this one particularly then, thank you! Aaah you have been soo helpful. thank you so much! Oooo £25!? I've seen them for only £18 which isn't as bad I suppose... oh noo :( Is that just with the white ones though? Maybe the black wont lose their colours? Or maybe i'll just use antibacterial hand gel whilst they're on my nails;) I don't get how they stay on! It actually baffles me!
DeleteThanks again,xxxxxxxx
Yes, NARS will change your life & you should definetley invest! I must say I think I was robbed with the caviar manicure, I was buying some clothes from Nelly & couldnt find the Ciate set anywhere else so found myself adding it to my basket... It was the black one! I've done a review somewhere on my blog - rachellerachellee.blogspot.co.uk
DeleteSorry about the late reply gorgeous girl, I've been beyond busy xxxxxxxxxx
I want that make up forever palette too. The green colour underneath hides redness. Looks amazing. :D x
ReplyDeleteOooo is that what it does? I've always wondered! Thanks for letting me know :):):) x x x
DeleteI just tried out caviar nails with a cheaper set - if you get the Ciate one you will have to post about how long it lasts on your nails because mine didn't survive 36 hours :(
ReplyDeleteOoo, there's a cheaper set?! Yeah I'm gonna try get my hands on it so that I can trial it out for yallllllll! I'm excited to see if it's good. A week would be perfect for me! xxxxx

I enjoy NARS' blushes and their Pure Matte lipstick in Madère. The blush colors I tend to reach for are Sin and Orgasm. Super Orgasm is nice, but a little on the glittery side. Their bronzers Laguna and Casion are great. I use Laguna for around my face and Casino as a contour under my cheekbones. I got a NARS palette for Christmas that had 4 blushes, a highlighter, and a bronzer. It was great to be able to try out their products without shelling out money for every single color. Great deal if they have it again this holiday.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the felt tipped eyeliner is concerned, I would go for a drugstore brand. L'oreal's Lineur Intense felt tipped eyeliner is great, and the Revlon Colorstay felt tipped liner got great reviews, although I was not a huge fan of it. Hope this helps :)

ReplyDeleteI'm currently using the Tea Tree Toner and find that it really does help minimise pores, however spots have still been an issue. Have mixed feeling on it.

I've just bought my first Nars products! A lipgloss and the best product ever - Albatross highlighter! Amazing!!

I adore the Lumi Magique concealer - it's so amazing!
ReplyDeleteNARS is actually my favorite brand of makeup. I love everything. I will say, though, that their blushes are THE best. No doubt. Also, I used DuWop Lip Venom a looonnngg time ago when it first came out, and I liked it a lot! It kinda burns your lips at first, but it stimulates blood flow and really pouts them out!

This comment is probably a bit late off the mark but collection 2000 do an amazing felt liner, it's so black and it doesn't flake off, only about £3.99 I think! Also nars is meant to be good for bronzers and bl
ReplyDeleteOops I didn't mean to press publish, best for bronzers and blush but apparently their foundation is amazing! Xxxx
DeleteI have that make-up forever concealer palette and I love it. Amazing concealers.
