Makeup Wishlist

Over the weekend I was sat browsing the interweb as you do, debating what I need to spend my Christmas Vouchers on, yes I still have them. With vouchers for New Look, Debenhams, House of Fraser and Next.

There are so many dresses and tops that I want to buy right now, but I made a promise to myself not to do so until I had cleared out the wardrobe, same with shoes and boots, so that leaves Makeup, for which there is always room for more. Rather than spending my vouchers online, I have instead complied a wishlist of items I want to buy and here it is:

I have become a tad obsessed with the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Range and whilst I have one of the lipsticks, I absolutely adore this Blusher palette which retails for £35. Staying with Urban Decay, I have been hankering after this Naked Skin Illuminating Beauty Balm which has SPF 20 ever since I swatched it. It is said to hydrate and prime, almost like a multi-use product and costs just £24.

You can never have too many lipsticks as far as I am concerned and there are two that I currently have my eye on. Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire in shade Berry Beret, I just love how these lipsticks are designed to look and match one of my favourite bottles of perfume. Then who doesnt want a bit of Tom Ford and his boys? I have a list as long as my arm when it comes to these beauties, especially in shade Luciano. What I love about Tom Ford is the sleek chic design.

Staying with the theme of lips, Benefit Chachabalm Lip Hydrator (£14.50) and is said to not only add a tint to the lips but is also super hydrating, which at this time of year we ll need.

YSL are another brand I also love, mainly their lipsticks and I am a big fan of YSL Touche Éclat, but there are two other products that I am intrigued by and want to try for myself, more so because they have got mixed reviews. The first is Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Foundation (£32.50) and then the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Primer (£30). 

As a Mascara fiend, again a product you can never have too much of, I have been wanting to purchase a full sized Lancôme Hypnôse Drama since having a sample size which had dried out before I had time to use it, but instead of throwing it away, I washed the brush and used it with my Benefit Mascara and loved the brush.


The final item on my list is from the fabulous Laura Geller, whom I have been lucky enough to meet and it is the Easy Cover Up Concealer Crayon which caught my attention because it is infused with super antioxidant Italian Tomato Extract to protect, hydrate and help firm skin and Hyaluronic Filling Spheres hydrate skin and fill in fine lines for more youthful look! How amazing and all for £18.

Benefit and Starbucks February Collaboration plus FREEBIE

Barely able to contain my excitement that Starbucks have got some new flavours to try (I miss the honey and almond hot chocolate already) with Pistachio and Rose Mocha or a Burnt Caramel Latte, they then add to it by teaming up with Benefit for the whole of February!

All you need to do is go along to your participating Benefit Counter (find yours here) and collect a pink coffee sleeve, seriously how cute are these?  This sleeve gets you a Buy One Get One Free (Bogof) coffee for you and your #Bestfriend. But that's not all... once you retrieve your coffee, ask the lovely Starbucks people for a special pink Emoji coaster and this gets you a free makeover at Benefit and whilst you are there, you can ask the lovely Benebabes which products will suit you, what brow shape you should have and anything else you have been dying to know.  Sadly, the pink cup is not available.

This offer is only running throughout February! So go and hunt down that pink sleeve, grab the coaster and enjoy your make-over!  If you have already grabbed yours then don't forget to share your gorgeous cosmetics and coffee posts using #bestfriends @benefitcosmeticsuk @starbucksuk

Finally if you are out and about in London, head to Carnaby Street and look out for the Bright Pink Van where the Benebabes will be handing out free coffee and cosmetics for those who need a quick pick-me-up on the go!
