I want, I want, I want! Oh the struggles of student life, seeing all these beautiful products, then watching my ever growing overdraft increase and these products get further and further away from my dressing table. Now that I am able to do extra hours at work hopefully some of these products will have pride of place on my dressing table soon enough.
Lancôme Star Bronzer £35
If I am totally honest with myself I first wanted this product because of it's beauty; the whole package and the design of the delicate engraved rose looks gorgeous. Researching this product a little more, it sounds like the perfect summer bronzer, the product is heavily dusted with golden shimmer to get you looking sun kissed all day long. It is only a summer limited edition product *contemplates taking out a tinie tiny loan* but this means it will be super sized, lasting even longer.. *Slowly beginning to convince myself to make this purchase* So you will undoubtedly get all your moneys worth, so it is good to look at this as an investment into beauty rather than something I cannot afford... I can almost hear my mum telling me to come back down to reality...
Benefit Watt's up! - £24.50
I have been on the hunt for a highlighter for a while now, and I have been hesitant to purchase one as they can be quite expensive and I want it to be the right one. I currently have the Benefit High Beam, but I find this can sometimes go on my skin quite patchy, I have tried it on different foundations, put it on before the foundations, it just is not a good match for me. Recently, one of my friends had a mini version of the Benefit Watt's Up highlighter, and it just felt like a perfect match for my complexion, it's golden champagne shine had me sold. I will own this product by the end of the summer, so a full review will be coming your way soon ;)
Burberry Lip Glow Balm in Orange Poppy, £23
For the past few months I have been on the hunt for an orange tone lipstick and although this lipstick is slightly more red toned than what I have been looking for I just fell in love with the colour, I can easily see this being my summer lipstick. Also the packaging is to die for - I am a slight sucker for packaging - the matching engraved patterns send my OCD in to overdrive, I just want to own this, right now!! I am pretty sure by this time next week I will have given in and purchased this beauty. The layers can be built up from a sheer lip to a bright colour - Again, I am a sucker for a bold lip - I mean £23 for a lipstick that can give you two different looks, technically you are only paying £11.50. Looking at the positives ;)
They're Real Liner
I am not 100% sold on this product yet, the hype sounding it suggests it could be an amazing new eyeliner; the people at Benefit have spent 5 years trying to make this product the best it can be. The tip looks genius and I really hope it turns out to be as good as eyeliner is the bane of my life!! I have an appointment with Benefit next week to test it out, so I will write up on my blog how I get on!
Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Colour Stick in Pink Glow, £26.
I have always used powder blushers but I feel it is time for a change and try out some cream base blushers; this sheer bendable cream enhancer is said to give your skin a glowing radiance. I particularly like the pink glow for these summer months. Although I love the colour of this product I feel I should find a more affordable version to see how I find the cream blusher.
Do you have a favourite drug store cream blusher I could try? Let me know.
Also, what is on your summer beauty wish list?
