I've never really found that a
brow mascara is necessary as part of my everyday make-up routine, but when I
know that I need to make my make-up last, I make sure I apply some.
1) Urban Decay Naked Concealer - £17.50
This concealer has gotten so many praises pretty much since it has come out. I tested this out in Sephora while I was in Dubai and I loved the texture of it, unfortunately they didn't have all the shades in stock so I couldn't purchase it while I was there. But I really want to give it a go. I definitely need to find a concealer that will really hide my under eye circles as I find that nothing I have right now is doing a really good job.
2) Barry M Coconut Oil Infused Nail Paints - £4.99
Again, another product that has received a lot of good reviews are these nail paints. I actually recently read a blog post about these and they are apparently meant to be really healthy for your nails and you can even apply them without a base coat. I really like the idea of these shades and the colour range is very spring-like and adorable!
3) Origins Eye Cream - £20
I need to get in the habit of applying eye creams in the mornings. I find that when I do apply an eye cream, my concealer applies much better and lasts a lot longer. I want a good quality eye cream but that will target my dark under eye circles - I know that there isn't really a product that will completely make my dark under eyes look a bit more brighter. I've tested this in Boots recently and I really liked the consistency of it.
4) YSL Black Opium Eau De Parfum - £44
I tested this in duty free when I went on my trip to Prague (post here) and I have wanted it ever soon. Everywhere I go I always smell someone with it and it makes me want it even more. I'm not going to attempt to describe the scent because I'm rubbish at that, but it has such a unique smell that once you smell it once, you'll recognise it anywhere you go! I really can't wait to get my hands on this.
5) PIXI Glow Mist - £10.95
Just like the Smashbox Primer water I want something to hydrate my face before I apply my makeup. I like the idea of this tonic water as I feel like it's a mix between a primer water and an illuminator. I haven't tried anything from the PIXI range before but I've heard a lot of good things about their products.
6) Zoeva brush bag - £12.50
I desperately need a makeup brush bag for when I travel - at the moment I use the plastic zip wallets that you get from buying Zoeva brushes, but they're not big enough. I want something that I can put my beauty blenders, lash curlers and brushes in for when I travel. I like how simple this bag is. You can get this bag with brush sets but I'm trying not to buy any more brushes.
7) Smashbox Primer Water - £20
I have mixed feelings about this, kind of like the MAC fix +, I mean does it really make an impact on your makeup? And is it necessary to add the step if you're using a moisturiser and primer. But I've heard a lot of good things about the product and how it helps hydrate your face really well and primes your skin. It would be interesting to see whether it actually works.
I would love to know what is on your May Beauty Wishlist!
Love Always,
