BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

Hello!

As it's not too long away since my birthday, I thought I'd do a wishlist on what I want and hope for. Bare in mind the probability of me getting all of these items/products is quite small so don't think I'm spoilt or anything, haha. 

Also, I haven't included everything I want because I would be here for ages describing them etc, these are just a few things.

Excuse the prices of some of the items, I am aware this all comes down to quite a lot of money!

1. Sleek Blusher in Lace

 The first thing on my Birthday Wishlist is a trio blush set from Sleek in the colour 'Lace'. I've actually wanted this set for a long time ever since I heard Zoella mention it in a video, and I've never got round to getting it, so hopes up I can get it for my birthday! The first colour in the trio is a peachy/coral, the second is a sheer light pink, and the third is a pink/peach. All of these colours look to be wearable and of very good quality.

2. Topshop blusher in Flush

 Another blusher I've heard Zoella mention (notice the theme?) is the Topshop cream blushers, and I particularly like the look of this one. I don't own a cream blush so it's best not to ask for something too expensive as I may not like it, so I think this is the perfect starter cream blush in a lovely colour, and good consistency.

3. Michael Kors Camille Chronograph Glitz Watch

2 Words, Michael Kors. This watch is absolutely gorgeous, it stood out for me on the website so I knew it was the one, but it is quite pricey at $295 (£182). However, if you set aside the pricing and focus on the main aspects of the watch you notice how flawless it really is. I love the diamante encrusted watch face rim, with the white face and gold detailing, it all works so well and is truly a masterpiece.

4. Velvet T-bar shoes

 These shoes appear to have made an appearance recently on the shelves, and they aren't everyones cup of tea, however I really like them and think they're so cute and edgy. They aren't the most versatile shoes for Autumn/Winter, but when the weather isn't too rough these would look perfect with some cute socks and jeans. Also, for £32 they look very good quality, and £32 is pretty cheap for a pair of shoes from Topshop!

5. Deep red fluffy sweater 

Recently I've been loving the reddy tones that Autumn fashion is bringing us, and I think this sweater is perfect for the seasons fashion. I don't usually wear things like this, and want to change up my wardrobe abit, and this sweater is perfect for doing that. Also, it looks incredibly warm and comfortable which pleases me.

6. Nike Air max 1 Libertys

 I currently own a pair of Nike Air Max's, and they're honestly the comfiest things ever, so I've been wanting a new pair for a while and I saw these ones on someones instagram, and was immediately drawn to them. The floral pattern is so cute and sweet but not babyish, and these would look so cute all year round being versatile trainers. For £145 I would expect them to last a long time, and the Air Max's I have at the moment have so I assume they will which is a plus side.

7. Stripy calf high socks

 I know these are stereotypical American style socks, but I really do love these. American Apparel do these socks in multiple colours, but these are my favourite because they are so simple yet edgy and that's what is great about everything from American Apparel. Also, for only $8 (£4.95) you can't go wrong really!

8. Pink Crushed Velvet Shorts

 Personally, I really really love these shorts, not everyone would because the colour is quite Barbie like which may put people off, but the colour is what attracts me to these shorts the most. When I last went to Topshop I saw a berry coloured pair of these shorts and I loved those a lot, then I saw this pair on the website and fell in love immediately. These are more of a summer staple clothing piece, but I would be happy to wear them all year round.

9. Ted Baker Ikon bag 

 Ted Baker has always been one of my favourite brands, the style and appearance of all their items really appeal to me, just like this bag. I love bows, pink, and bags, what more could I ask for? This bag ticks all the boxes! I need a small sort type bag to take out, because I currently lug around my school bag which resorts in me tipping out my school stuff instead which is usually a hassle, so I think this bag is a must have for me.

10. Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 01

 The last product is probably something I will be able to get before my birthday, but anyway I really love this bright red shade, and I think it's a great all-year-round colour, but looks especially good in this season. I have done a review on the Kate Moss lipsticks, and know they work particularly well, so getting this certainly wouldn't be a waste of money.

Once again, I don't expect all of these items because it would add up to quite a high price just for my birthday, but I shall have it all one day...maybe!

MY HALLOWEEN OUTFIT

Hello!

I don't normally make an effort with Halloween because I prefer staying in and giving people the sweets rather then receiving them, but on Friday 1st November, my friend Rosie had a Halloween party and of course it was a dressing up one, so I made an effort and went as...Tinkerbell!

Me and my friend Poppy decided we would both do a blog post on what we wore, and took the photos for each-other which is why most of these aren't too serious.

**Poppy's Post**

The outfit:

(I am not being serious with my flexibility here do not worry.)

 Feet:

These black, leather slip-ons' were the most dainty looking shoes I had in my wardrobe, and they happened to go well so I put those on.

(Newlook £6)

Legs:

 As the weather isn't the warmest at the moment, I put on some sheer white knee-high socks, with black bows on the sides to keep me warm, and they looked cute too.

 (Perfect Parties £5)

Body:

Eventhough Tinkerbell's dress is a boob-tube style dress, I didn't fancy wearing one of those, and couldn't find one either so resorted to this acid green skater dress from Miss Guided. The dress does have 2 hip cut out bits above the skirt part, but these aren't too visible from the front view.

 All fairies have to have a wand, so my mum bought me this one.

(Dress-Miss Guided £12.99. Wand-Perfect Parties £2.50)

Hair:

 This is how I usually have my hair, but it suits the cuteness and fairy-likeness of Tinkerbell. All I did was separate a section of my hair from the top of my crown and tied it up, I then back-combed it for more volume and added a with ribbon tied in a bow. My hair has also got light pink on the ends too.

(Hair bow-Material World 80p, Pink hair dye-Crazy Color £4.49)

Make-up:

 I didn't want to go too heavy and over the top on the eyes, so I did my normal winged eyeliner, but added a grey shimmer to the outer section of my eyelids, and used a paler one in the middle, leaving the inner corners of my eye with a white eyeshadow to open them up (Can you tell I'm not a make-up artist). For the lips I went for a bright red as it went nicely with the green dress, and suited the face make-up.

(Eyes-Naked Pallet £37. Eyeliner- L'Oreal Super liner perfect slim £6.99. Lips-Collection 2000 lipstick in Valentine £2.99)

Nails:

 This Holographic nail-varnish was the closest thing I had to silver (for some reason I don't have a silver nail-varnish), but thankfully it goes with the outfit, and matches the eyes nicely.

(Urban Outfitters £11)

Fail Shots:

1. I was trying to grasp a tree elegantly which resulted in my laughing and looking dodgy.

2. A general mug-shot.

3. I attempted to run gracefully but ended up looking like I was going through a wind tunnel.

4. I then tried a star jump and Poppy completely missed my head, and the second try my skirt flew up and the picture was of my underwear!

5. Another attempt at running gracefully, but I look shocked and scared all mixed into one.

Many thanks to Poppy for taking these photos and providing the ever-so small pumpkin which is in fact a mini Squash.

FRAGRANCE DIRECT HAUL

Hello!

Not long ago I heard of this website called Fragrance Direct, so I decided to check it out and it's honestly so cool! This website sells products that have been taken off of shelves, and sells them for extremely cheap prices. Sometimes they do have the odd up-to-date product, but these are usually full price.

When my products arrived, they were wrapped up in a box surrounded by air bags to stop things from breaking, and also my package came quite promptly so I was pleased with the delivery service. Anyway, here's what I got:

1. Calvin Klein lipsticks

The first thing I was on the hunt for was lipsticks. I only really have pink colours, and wanted to go for more Autumnal ones, but there weren't any on the website so I resorted to these 2."Henna" is a subtle pink/coral colour which looks more coral on the lips then my hand, and "Delightful" is a very bright pink, I wasn't too sure on this one but I really like the look of it. The lipsticks feel creamy, and soft which is good, and they were originally around £15, but I got them for £1.99 which is a total bargain.

2. Calvin Klein Blusher

Not only did I want lipsticks, I also wanted a new blusher because most of mine are quite light, which resorted in me getting this very deep pink blush. It looks as if it will be extremely bright on the cheeks which I'm worried about, but hopefully it won't come off too strong and will just be a flush of the pink. When the blusher arrived, I was shocked at how big it was compared to what I thought it would be which was a nice surprise, and also this was only around £2.99.

3. L'Oreal Paris Quad Pro pallet

 Next I looked down L'Oreal because their products are usually good, and I wanted to see what offers I could get, then this appeared. On the front, it says this pallet is for blue eyes (I have blue eyes), so I'm guessing that these 3 colours are meant to compliment blue eyes? Anyway, on the back of the packet there is a little diagram showing how you should apply these colours to your eyes, which is why there are small indents on the eyeshadows, and number 4 is a cream highlighter for the inner corners. I'm excited to give this a whirl and see how it turns out!

4. Maybelline Colour Sensational Popstick

 This lip product was more of a novelty item, and I think that's why it was discontinued because people were expecting more from it. I got this in the colour "Pink Lollipop" but on the website their were a few more which looked quite cool too, and this was only around £1.50 so I can't really complain (It also smells delicious). In all honesty, I was also expecting a little more colour to come off of my Popstick, but it does transfer a bit of colour, however I think it's more for moisturising and looking good in the packet.

5. Revlon Top Speed nail varnish

The last item is the most Autumnal product I ordered, and it's the Revlon Top Speed nail varnish in the colour 400 Ignite. This sparkly red colour is perfect for this season, and would suit most Autumn clothing items too which is a bonus. I'm surprised that this nail varnish was discontinued, because the formulation of it is great and I think it would dry quickly enough to be labelled as "Top Speed" so that's also a bonus. In addition, this was 99p which is a total bargain for a pot of nail varnish that big!

I think everyone should check out Fragrance Direct and see what deals you can grab, because I can guarantee you will find something that catches your eye for a great price.
