When you wish apon a star

Hello my lovlies!

So whilst Minka jets off to the U S of A I am stuck here revising :-( So in order to avoid Philosophy que cards I thought I would share with you my current wish list!

Now this list is always far to long and I never complete it! Some of these I will by, some I am considering and some there is no way I will ever own it but I love it so here goes..:

Zara Office City Bag

I can tell you now I so so so so want to buy this and I am pretty sure I am going to get it next week because omg it is perfection. Now there has been a huge hype around this product and I know I have see tons of bloggers and youtubers who have purchased it and I am in total agreement. It is really like the classic Prada bag and it has a laptop/ipad padded section and the choice between a crook and shoulder strap. I love it!! I think it will be a really good hand luggage bag, sleepover bag but also good for transporting work around so yes I really hope to get my hands on this bag boy asap.

Urban Decay Naked Palette 2

I mean lets be honest who wouldn't want this?! I am very much your gold/brown/highlight girl and it just offers every colour that I could possibly want! However I am getting a MAC make over curtosy of my auntie next week and I guess I will probably choose some goldy eye shadows then so I may hold off until prom kind of time to get this beauty!

Essie Sand Tropez

Now I am very behind on the Essie band wagon. Don't ask me why because me and my sister are both very nail varnishy people however between us neither of us own a single shade of Essie! We have made a pact to both bye a colour to ensure we do not miss out! I am currently loving either really deep purple or nude nails so I have had a look through the shades and slightly fallen in love with Sand Tropez - which is ironic as the video that inspired me to look through the colours told me that it wasn't very nice. However personally concrete beige really suit my hands so I think it is the one for me. 

Polaroid Camera

Sadly this is just a lust product - theres no way I can justify paying one pound a picture plus the camera! However I just think it is the cutest thing and I love the idea of capturing a moment and having it there and then! Plus the camera looks gorgeous! *sigh* goddam money

Lush Face Mask

(You wouldn't even believe the struggle I have just had with these pictures ) 

But any how but currently I am the biggest bath person in the world - this is because I am not really watching tv when I get home in order to get work done and learn scripts etc and limiting myself to evening shows. But disappointingly there's not been an awful lot I am into so I have taken to watching series online and watching an episode in my bath on my laptop ( I am currently going through pretty little liars from the start ) So I have that little bit more time so I am getting into face masks and hair masks. Now I have an on off relationship with lush - I cannot stand a lot of the products because they are SO SO strong and bright but then there are some that I adore and are all time favourites. There masks are definitely something I love, they are so fresh and smell amazing and they all have a different task so I can choose whatever is suited to me that particular month. I have 5 pots so I can get myself a free one this time round! But they are so worth it!

Mac Lip Stick

As I said I have my MAC make over to look forward to this holiday and I am looking for a nudey lip - as we all know MAC is the queen of the lips so I am excited to get myself a good quality lipstick!

Real Techniques

I cannot watch another tutorial and here about these brushs and not own them!!! They are so widely loved I feel as if I am missing out and I need to add these to my collection for sure

So the list goes on and on but these are just a few that are quite high up!! If you have any recommendations for Mac shades let me know and tell me what you think of my choices 

Lots of Love

What's in my bag?

Topshop Clean Bowling Bag - £40

I always watch Youtube video's of "Whats in My Bag" so I thought I would do my own on here! This bag was a recent buy and I believe it comes in a couple of colours. It has a a phone holder inside, and a small zipped pocket too. 

Pink Umbrella 

Urban Outfitters fingerless gloves - I love love love these, they keep my hands super warm as they have a fleecy lining and they look so cute!

Paperchase Travel Card holder 

Topshop purse - I bought this a while ago, I just adore the Topshop purses I would buy them all if I could.

Paperchase Pencil

Kleenex Tissues - I do not go anywhere without a packet of tissues.

Earphones

Topshop sunglasses and floral case - I like to be optimistic and prepared for all types of weather... I do realise it is not likely to be sunny in winter months yet these live in my bag.

Red Diary - this is such a lifesaver. My Dad gave it to me as he got given it for free somewhere and didn't want it. I will be buying one exactly like this for next year because it is so useful.

The pages  look like this so there is plenty space to scribble lists and notes relevant to the week, as well as an address book at the back, and even more plain notes pages. Diary, I love you xxxxx

This little 'essentials pouch' lives in my bag - it contains stuff I might need whilst out and about and I will add to it the lipstick I'm wearing that day or some spare concealer if my skin is not behaving.

Carex Antibacterial Hand Gel - I am the tiniest bit OCD

Les Divines Alcoves Amoureuse In Love Stick Perfume - there is more about that in my perfume post:  click here to read it.

Mini nail file

Olbas Oil - I am a bit obsessed with this at the moment as I am suffering with a blocked nose due to my tree pollen allergy. I adore the smell of it (though it is really quite strong); I put some on my pillow at night which is especially useful.

M&S Peppermint Breath Spray - I don't like to chew gum so this is my alternative to having a nice minty taste all day long

Accessorize Love Compact Mirror

Glasses Wiper - this looks like a very strange contraption... in fact it is for cleaning the lenses of your glasses!

Cath Kidston Honeysuckle Hand Cream

Nivea Lip Care Pearly Shine - this is a lip balm but comes out a very light glossy pink on your lips. A nice subtle alternative to lipstick (which often makes my lips quite dry)

The final thing which you would normally find in my bag is a book:

I have just finished this (hence it not being in my bag), and it was really good, though I do love the Jodi Picoult books. It's quite emotional and hard hitting but a good read nonetheless. 

Jodi Picoult - Handle With Care

And that's all folks! I must depart as I have English Coursework to be doing (*silent tears fall from my eyes*).....

Hope your day is full of sparkles!

P.S.... I have found this mini version of my bag IN PINK. I am desperate to own it!!!
