This is a wishlist of different makeup products I want from Boots. I will be doing more of these from different shops for fashion/skincare/makeup etc every so often.
Boots Wishlist #1
This look is inspired by this video from Pixiwoo. I wanted to create a brown grungy look as it went with my outfit and I wanted to try out some of my recent purchases. The brown complements my blue eyes and the nude lips work with the heavy eyes.

Last month, I ordered a gel eyeliner, eyeliner brush, nail art tips and lip-liner, and today, they arrived. I will be doing an in-depth review once I have tried the products out.
I ordered these nail tips which have a pink/white/black leopard print on them. They were £1.50 because they were on offer in the last book. They just stick on the ends of your nails for a unique french manicure. I can't wait to try these out on my fake nails.

Today, I went into town to shop for a few things for my Final Major Project. Whilst I was in town, I nipped into Boots at I had a £3 off voucher for No7 make up. I needed a new foundation as my Avon one is nearly empty. I choose No7 because I wanted to try out the Match Made service for No7 Foundations. These links are all about it.

I found the process quick, easy and very helpful. I would recommend doing the Match made service as it makes sure that you buy the right shade and type of foundation for your skin, a problem that many women have.
I found out that I am the lightest shade (which is no surprise!) which is called Calico. I purchased the Beautifully Matte foundation as it is made for skin that is oily and the consultant said that a lot of young people wear it. It is normally £12.95 but I paid £9.95 with my voucher. I am planning on doing an in-depth review once I have worn it a few times.

Just thought I would show/tell you what my make up, hair and clothing I wear when I am doing uni work at home. So let's begin!
I do my normal skincare routine first. After, I just slightly give my face some colour with a touch of bronzer, line my water line with eye-liner, filled in my brows and use some mascara. I then either leave my lips or use Vaseline on them.
For my hair, I normally shove it back with a hair tie/scarf as I have short hair, so I can't have a ponytail etc.

I did a little bit of shopping today, woops! So, let's get started and go through my new purchases!
Firstly, I went to Office and purchased a new pair of Converse. I wanted a new pair for the summer and this olive green colour will go with loads of things in my wardrobe. So excited to start styling these up! They were £44.99 but Office had a 15% discount on in-store, so I got them for £38.24.
I then went to Topshop and purchased three pairs of lace topped socks and a new cropped jumper. The socks were in the three for £8 deal and the jumper was in the sale for £18. However, I used my student discount card and got 10% off them.
The socks each have lace on the top. Black socks with black lace, white socks with white lace and olive socks with cream lace.
The jumper has really long sleeves and is cropped. The colour is a dark red/burgundy. I think my new converse are going to look really good with the jumper too. It's super soft and comfortable.
Today, my Avon order arrived. I will be reviewing these products when I get a chance.
I ordered a new eyeliner and two eyeshadow duos.
Firstly the eyeliner. Now this is a new eyeliner by Avon, called 'always on point' as it has a sharpener in the lid, so it always has a point. The colour I ordered was black as my black eyeliner had recently run out. I am excited to use this as I really like using Avon eyeliners as they are soft compared to some pencils. I am tempted to order the Avon gel liner next, in a different colour though.

My Avon order arrived yesterday and I also went on a mini shopping spree for a new skincare product range, new laptop and other bits on Saturday.
From Avon, I ordered a limited edition case SuperSHOCK mascara (£5 normally £8.50) in black. I am a huge fan of this mascara and the new case is beautiful for summer. I am going to do a review in a later blog post since this is the 3rd time I have used this mascara. The other item I ordered was the Clearskin blackhead clearing daily astringent (£2 normally £4). This was recommended to me by a friend so I decided to try it whilst it was half price in the catalogue. I can't wait to try it with my other new skincare products.
On Saturday 20th April 2013, I also purchased a few goodies whilst I was in the city centre buying my new laptop (which I am currently typing on!). I firstly went into a poundshop. I purchased some random pieces for my 'moving to lincoln' collection, which I am not going to talk about, and a new set of exfoliating gloves. I love using these when I am in the bath/shower as the tops of my arms have a rash/ezcema on them, so these help to reduce the rash by buffing the dead skin away. I just loved the fact that one is spotty and one is plain so that you can differentiate between each hand.
