Recent Beauty Buys

Being off work with a nasty tummy bug for the best part of the week has left me feeling pretty miserable - and being confined to the house with only the laptop and a stack of magazines for company gets quite dull eventually.

There was nothing else to do - I Internet shopped! 

I had some birthday money to spend so I thought I'd treat myself and cheer myself up with a few nice bits of makeup:

Urban Decay Naked Palette, Topshop Lipstick in Show Off, Topshop Highlighter in Luminescence, Topshop Lip Glaze in Dash, Topshop Blush in Flush, Sleek Blush in Rose Gold, Sleek Bad Girl Palette and Sleek Oh So Special Palette.

I've never tried Topshop makeup before but I'm really impressed with the quality of it so far!

I haven't had the energy to properly swatch and photograph everything but hopefully this week I will catch up and maybe do some face of the day posts as I'm sure you all know the Urban Decay and Sleek palettes quite well!

Wednesday's Wishlist

It's been pretty quiet on here for a couple of days! I've been really busy with work, the gym is taking up more of my time, I fainted on Monday and I'm very low on funds until pay day to name a few reasons! 

During my day off on Monday I was (of course) browsing the web and lusting over things I just can't afford at the moment so I thought I'd make a little wish list as my birthday is coming up next month. 

I was a bit naughty today and bought myself a few little treats though as I've been feeling not so great so I will get around to doing some new posts soon!

Here's what I could currently do with in my life...

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette; 2. Clinique Chubbystick in Whooping Watermelon; 3. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser; 

4. Topshop Blush in Flush; 5. Benefit Instant Brow Pencil; 6. Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara; 7. Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush in Gentle or Cherub; 8. OCC Lip Tar in Trollop, Divine, Grandma, Tone and/or Interlace

Phew! I'll more than likely buy myself some of this when I next get paid but I'll still be making hints at some of it come the birthday!
