WHAT'S ON MY BEAUTY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

Hello everyone! With Christmas Day only being one week away, i thought it was about time that i shared what has been written on my beauty Christmas wishlist to Santa this year. Obviously now that i am older i don't post a letter off to the North Pole, instead i tend to drop "subtle" hints on what i would like instead.

1. | jouer cosmetics powder highlight trio gift set | £35 |

If you have read quite a few of my posts then first of all you will know how obsessed with highlighters i am, second of all you will know the shade Topaz from Jouer is one of my favourites. That being said mine is actually broken so it now proves difficult to use it, so i would love to get my hands on this trio of the highlighters this Christmas as i would not only have a new Topaz but also the other two shades from the range.

2. | bobbi brown luxe lip colour lipstick | £27 |

If anyone is stuck on what to get me for Christmas, the safe option is a lipstick and more specifically a nude lipstick and i am obsessed with how beautiful and perfect this new Bobbi Brown luxe lip colour lipstick is, from being the perfect nude/pink shade to its equally beautiful packaging.

3. | zoeva matte eyeshadow palette | £18 |

When it comes to eyeshadows i am all about the warm tones and the warm neutrals to be more specific. so when i spotted this new eyeshadow palette from Zoeva i instantly fell in love and it is perfect as recently i am obsessed with a warm matte eye look.

4. | zoeva aristo blush palette | £13 |

I have mentioned several of these little trio "blush" palettes from Zoeva, as they are some of my favourite things out of my whole collection. The quality/formula of the powders are simply beautiful and not to mention super easy to travel with, as they are so compact. The thing that attracts me to this new one the most, is the highlight shade as it looks stunning!

5. | bareMinerals gold obsession chandelight glow illuminator | £32 |

Talking of highlighters and yet another one that i am lusting over, is one from bareMinerals which is a brand i have become obsessed with this year and i use their bronzer every single day. This is such an amazing gift to give/receive as it is not only boxed beautifully but it is also limited edition for Christmas time only.

6. | gucci bloom eau de parfum | £52-£99 |

Who doesn't love to receive perfume for Christmas/Birthday's? because i know i do, as perfume can be expensive and who wants to spend that themselves right? I actually have my eye on a couple of perfumes that i love the scent of, this new one by Gucci is one of them (i love the fresh scent and packaging) and i also love the lancome la vie est belle too.

7. | ghd white platinum styler | £165 |

Finally we have something on my wishlist that should probably be at the top, as it is the thing i am most desperate for and that is a new pair of straighteners. I have honestly had mine for so long now and i can tell they are on their way out now, so that makes me desperate as i can't live without one. I have always used GHD ones, as they just work the best with my hair. Even though it is the most expensive gift on the wishlist, it is the thing that would get the most use.

MAKEUP DE-CLUTTER/HOW I ORGANISE MY MAKEUP #2

Hello everyone! So a couple of weeks ago i shared the first instalment of my makeup de-clutter/how i organise my makeup process/series, which was all about my two main makeup drawers that contains products such as single shadows, bronzers, blush, brow products etc. For this instalment i thought i would share how i de-cluttered/organise the type of product i had the most of, which happens to be lip products.

So when it comes down to lip products i am such a sucker for buying nude after nude, which i am not even ashamed by anymore because if that's what you like it's what you like. Before de-cluttering i stored half of my lip products into four muji acrylic drawers and then the other half was stored on a shelf in two of the billinger drawer inserts like i have in my main drawers. Because they were out of eye view i never reached for them anymore, so i went through the same process of emptying everything out onto the floor, throwing away anything old/what i didn't like, the only lip products i gave away was the ones that were new/un-used.

Now that i have de-cluttered my lip product collection, i can pretty much fit all of my most used lip products into the muji wide two drawers and the muji narrow two drawers with room still to stack if i ever need to. Kicking things off with the wide two drawers, i like to keep my nyx lingerie liquid lipsticks, some l'oréal glosses and a selection of nude lipsticks i reach for often like the tanya burr ones and a few random nude glosses. In the next wide drawer i like to keep my sleek matte me liquid lipsticks, one of my favourites the nyx soft matte lip creams (the nudes only) and my three most used mac lipsticks, which are creme d'nude, honey love and viva glam ii (the rest are in separate storage). Then towards the back i just keep some other liquid lipsticks, as well as a couple of the rimmel kate nude lipsticks which i love.

Moving on to the two narrow drawers i like to keep my favourite brand of liquid lipsticks from la splash, the shades angel cake and innocent vixen are my favourites. Then i also have two of my favourite jouer lip products which are the ever so famous skinny dip lip topper and the lip creme in the shade papaye, i also have my mariah carey x mac cosmetics lipstick in the shade dahhlinggg! which i barely use because first of all it is limited edition and second of all it's just so pretty. In the final narrow drawer i keep my anastasia beverly hills lip glosses, i also keep my two bareMinerals gen nude products that i can't put down. From the whole drawer i would say my two favourites definitely have to be the bareMinerals far out gloss and the anastasia beverly hills gilded gloss, they are just stunning glosses to add on top of any nude lip combination.
