My SS14 Wishlist

Every so often I see something and think "ooh I like that", make a note of it and then forget all about it. This wishlist is one of those, I have seen a dress or a top that I like, make a mental note to buy it or wait for the sale and then more often than not it is either too late or it is no longer available.

Here is my SS14 Wishlist




I never thought I would be someone to wear Jeggings, EVER but truth be told I really like them and find them comfortable.  The one and only pair I have from Asda, which are superb are no longer available so I have been keeping my eye on these skinny jeans which are very similar to the ones I have from the ASOS Curve Range.

F&F Clothing sometimes have some beautiful clothes in and the dress which you can see in the middle of my wishlist is from there, though sadly only now available in a size 6, I think it is stunning.

Ted Baker purses have appeared on more than one of my wishlists and one day I will get one in the sale, but for now, I have about 4 or 5 that I really like the look of and as soon as they hit the sale I will buy one.

MAC Lipstick, well yes Fanfare has become top of my target list.  I have read so much about it, love the colour and need to go and swatch it properly to make sure it is something I would wear.

The two tops in this post are both from Dorothy Perkins and are both in the sale which you can see HERE and HERE so I am currently debating whether or not to bit the bullet and buy them.  My problem is they are not normally tops that I would buy.  Neither of them have sleeves and I am conscious about my arms, but I think they are just so so pretty.

Make-up Revolution - Everyone is raving about this brand currently and it is a bandwagon I am yet to join and test, though I do have a palette from my BBB Bow to try.  The one item I do love the look of is the Baked Blusher and there are two which I currently love the look of - All I think about is you and Make Love Instead.

Fitflops - I bought my first pair about 6 years ago and they now look very tatty and in need of renewing.  That said they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have EVER owned, if there was a holygrail for a flip flop then for me FitFlops would be them.  Recently I have kind of fancied these rather funky looking Fitflops called Bon Easy Sandal.  So as well as another pair of Fitflops which I will definitely be purchasing, I like the look of these too.

The final item on this list is from Marc Jacobs and as soon as I saw the bottle I wanted it.  Pink Honey as it is called is encased in this beautiful bottle, very similar to Honey itself only the bottle is a sheer pink and I love it.


What do you think to my list? Do you have any of the items on it? 
Do you have your own wishlist?

Bomb Cosmetics Sherbet Lemon Lip Scrub

I am a huge fan of Lip Scrubs and have used quite a few different ones. Today's post is about a lip scrub called Sherbet Lemon from Bomb Cosmetics, a product that I won in a competition a few months back and its only now when I have run out of Bubblegum that I came across it.
Described as follows "The Bomb Cosmetics Sherbet Lemon Lip Scrub is a classic sweetshop favourite, sherbet lemon oozes zestiness with sweet and sharp notes in this gentle scrub to exfoliate your lips".
The directions are that you should apply liberally and evenly as often and as necessary and you use it as you would similar products.  Inside the cute little tub, the formula is similar to a lip balm and not at all what I was expecting.  As soon as you apply it to the lips and apply a bit of pressure you can feel the tiny sugar particles which work to remove the dry and dead skin from your lips and because the sugar is within the balm it also stops your lips feeling dry as you exfoliate.  

Naturally coming from Bomb Cosmetics it contains some amazing ingredients such as Shea Butter and Olive Oil to moisturise and smooth the lips.  Sucrose or sugar to you and I is used for the exfoliating particles




It also smells wonderful, think of those sherbet lemons you can buy or lemon bon bons and that is the exact scent, it is amazing, I love it.  As soon as you have finished using it on your lips, they do feel soft, smooth and moisturised and because the scrub is much more like a balm than similar products I have used, I never feel the need to quickly apply my lip balm immediatley, it basically does two jobs in one with exfoliating and moisturising at the same time.
This little pot of goodness costs just £2.49 and it lasts for such a long time.  I currently use my pot once a week and I am less than a third of the way throug the pot in 5 weeks, so it is great value for money.
