MAKEUP WISHLIST | BASE MAKEUP I WANT TO TRY

Hello everyone! I mentioned a few posts back now that i haven't really been spending any money on new makeup, as it hasn't really been a priority at the moment. That being said, it doesn't mean that i don't have my eye on a good list full of products that i can't wait to try out at some point. So for today's post i thought why not share with you the products that i am currently lusting after, which happen to be all base makeup products (which in my opinion is the best part about makeup).


When it comes to base makeup, i think we all know that highlighter is the best part and as soon as i laid eyes on this new release from Dior's new collection i fell in love. You can pick these beautiful beautiful highlighters up in six different shades but the shade nude glow is definitely my personal favourite and they retail for £34 each.

As i have normal to dry skin, i am always looking for skincare products that are going to give my skin the most hydration/moisture and there is something about this hydrating jelly that really appeals to me. As this is a jelly compared to your regular cream or serum, i feel like this would be really refreshing on the skin.

Of course there was going to be multiple highlighting/illuminating products through-out this post, next up is in a shimmer drop form. These shimmer drops available in two different shades are part of Smashbox's recent stunning limited edition collection, which i definitely want to pick up one of these soon as they look stunning and perfect for those lightweight yet glow-y less makeup days. 

Next up is a more affordable product that i can't wait to give a go, i also hope that i end up loving it as much if not more than the previous conceal and define concealer released by Revolution earlier in the year. The concept of this concealer really reminds me of the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer, which has been loved by many including me for years now. Next time i pop into Superdrug, i will definitely pick one of these up.

To me during the summer months or even just those days where you want to wear makeup but nothing too much or heavy, it is always good to have one of those sheer/light-medium coverage foundations in your collection and this new release by Benefit is said to be just that. I really want to pick one of these up to give a go, as the reviews so far are really good and i am hoping i would like it more than the hello flawless foundation, which i wasn't a fan of.

bareMinerals is hands down one of my favourite brands, as everything just seems to suit my skin so well and i must admit i got a little excited when i saw this new face mask duo release. This mask is said to both purify and hydrate, leaving you with cleansed dewy looking skin. You can pick these new claymates mask duos up in two different types, the be pure and be dewy as well as the be bright and be firm finish.

Finally we have another illuminating product, this time from the brand that produced the ever so Instagram famous highlighting drops, that allow you to glow from space. This powder is said to be beautiful used either by each individual shade in the pan or mixed all together for an all over radiant look and who doesn't want to look radiant right? The packaging on this product is also super sleek and luxurious, i happen to be a sucker for gold metallic packaging ha!

UPDATED MAKEUP WISHLIST

Hello everyone! How is that it either goes one of two ways in the world of makeup, you are either not lusting after anything or you are lusting after everything? My case just recently is that i am lusting after pretty much everything, so much so i feel like i need to share an updated wishlist post even though i only shared a two part special with you all last month, which consisted of a makeup edition and a skincare edition.


So i believe this is a new product from urban decay, i well i know it has just been released here in the uk and i am so intrigued by it, but i have heard a couple of huge differences in opinions about this product. Putting that aside this is a product that i feel i would like, as i am all about the flawless looking base and products that help you achieve just that. I also believe that this particular product comes in three different finishes, the optical illusion, the self-adjusting and the de-slick.

I have mentioned in several posts that i am really enjoying makeup from bareMinerals at the moment, especially their gen nude lip products. This particular bronzer has been on my to buy list for quite a while, but there is one problem it is forever out of stock in the shade i want to get and it is so frustrating because i feel like this bronzer would look stunning, even more so in the summer time.

This is probably one of those products that is going to be super hard to get a hold of, as if you follow huda on snapchat you will have seen how insanely beautiful the swatches/formula these highlighter palettes are. There is two different editions of the unique buttery formulated strobe/illuminating palettes, the pink sands edition and the one i am lusting after the golden sands edition.  

I have mentioned so many times in the past that i was never a huge blush fan/collector but, oh boy how times of changed and now i find myself always lusting after some form of blush palette. That being said one of my favourite brand of blushes are by zoeva, i already have a few of the luxe color blushes, the pink spectrum palette and the rose golden palette. So naturally i am going to lust after whatever one they release next and can i just say how stunning is the sweet glamour palette packaging?

First of all just recently i have been loving a glossy finish to whatever nude lip look i am going for on that day. I also recently picked up a sized to go gloss in the shade clear water from mac, which i love and is super handy to have in your handbag. That being said there is still quite a few different shades in the lipglass collection that i have my eye one, especially the shade signs of spring.

So i have seen quite a few people on instagram/youtube use these particular illumination drops from iconic london and i have always thought wow they look stunning. Now that i really got into using more cream/liquid highlighters these drops have firmly made their way onto the wishlist, i love the look of the shade original as it is champagne toned with golden shimmer and i am all about the gold/bronze toned highlighters.
