Wishlist | Kiko Rebel Romantic Collection


Kiko Milano recently released their latest collection Rebel Romantic and as I've been impressed with their past collections I just know I will love this one just as much. If you're unaware of who Kiko Milano are (which I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of them) they started in 1997 and are a Italian professional cosmetics brand. They produce high quality products but at affordable prices which is what I love most about them. So in todays post I thought I would share with you a few things I'm looking forward to getting my hands on from the Rebel Romantic Collection. 

Perfecting Bronzer - £12.90
A bronzer paired with a perfecting powder intrigued me, alongside the incredibly beautiful rose gold packaging I will definitely be purchasing this.

Glowing Potion Perfecting Serum - £13.90
The websites description is 'a perfecting face serum with hyaluronic acid and this may possibly be just a serum like all the others but something inside me is screaming out to buy it.

Metallic Shine Eye Shadow - £6.90
Eye shadows and eye shadow palettes are what I probably hoard the most. I can't help but to want every colour under the sun although I don't have the confidence to carry most of them off. So these creamy powder eye shadows with a metallic finish sound like just my thing and are available in six shades.

Rebel Bouncy Blush - £9.90
The name alone intrigues me enough to go out and buy these but the description confirms my need for these beauties. A blush with a new sensory aspect and a satin matte finish available in four shades... yes please!!

Have you purchased anything from this collection yet?

Wishlist | Chanel Les Beiges 2015 Summer Collection

Chanel is one of the brands I don't own anything from. For a long time I couldn't actually afford anything from Chanel, which was sad but kind of helped by the fact that a lot of stuff never actually jumped out at me so I would never justify spending the money on it. The newest collection has been released and for the first time there are a few bits I feel like I really need want. And since now I can afford to purchase it I thought I would show you what hopefully will soon be mine.

Healthy Glow Multi-Colour SPF15 Mariniere No1 - £44.00

I'm a MAC mineralize skinfinish through and through, I love my Soft and Gentle. Although this isn't a highlighter I still love the concept of a powder that gives you a healthy glow, plus it just looks pretty.

Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Stick No21 - £32.00
I don't own any blush sticks so probably would be better to try out a cheaper version but when I swatched these on my hand they were so creamy and easy to blend that I know think I would love them.


Levres Scintillantes Glossimer 'Beige Star' - £22.00
I've been on the search for the perfect nude gloss but they are always either too nude and look like I've applied concealer to my lips or too pink. Finally I think I've found the perfect gloss. So much I think I'm going to have to buy 2 just so I have a back up.

I know what you're probably thinking, £25 for a lip balm!!! And to be fair that is excessive. A lip balm is a lip balm at the end of the day right!

Le Vernis '661 Precious Beige' & '655 Beige Rose' - £18.00
I know Chanel Nail Polishes are legendary for not lasting long and for chipping straight away but I believe with a good base coat and top coat this can be changed. Out of the four shades available, these were my two favourite.

Has anything from this collection caught your eye?

Collection | NYX Butter Gloss









Long time now see! I'm not going to get into excuses or reasons why I haven't been about so into the post. I believe I first saw NYX Butter Glosses on youtube when all the beauty gurus from across the pond started raving about them. Sure enough we had to wait months for them to become available and I finally got my hands on them when I went to IMATS last year. From there on my collection started growing with a few purchases on Depop and a little help from my sister working in the states. The reason I love them and would say they are my favourite is because not only are they pigmented they also keep you lips moisturised and have a fair staying period. My next mission is to try the Butter Lipsticks.

Have you tried any shades? If you would like me to show them on let me know in the comments below!

Favourites | OPI Brazil Collection

There are hundreds of posts out there about OPIs latest Brazil collection, so I thought I would shake it up a little and just talk about my top 4 from the collection.


First up is Kiss Me I'm Brazilian, a gorgeous creamy pink which will be perfect for the summer. I already own Shorts Story and do believe you can never own enough pink polishes so I will be picking up this colour.

Next Stop... The Bikini Zone is a gorgeous pewter colour with a petrol effect to it. This is one of the darker shades which I thought was strange to add to the Brazil collection as it's not what I think of when I think Brazil. But I love this effect in nail polish!

Next is I Just Can't Cope-acabana, a sunshine yellow shade. Don't be put off by the picture as in real life it's more of a pastel yellow, think Barry M Lemon Ice Cream and will be another perfect shade for summer.

Finally is Where Did Suzi's Man-Go? This is the perfect colour I think of when sporting a tan in the summer. As the name suggests it's another pastel mango colour. I think it would be one of those colours that makes you look more tanned than you actually are, which is always great!

So there are my favourite 4 from the Spring/Summer Brazil Collection. I could choose way more but you'll be able to find deep detail of all the shades in other posts and on other sites.

What are your favourite colours from this collection?

Review | MAC RiRi Collction


SURPRISE... Yes I'm back! I'm sorry for my slight hiatus but I did explain it in my last post so I just want to say thank you for sticking by my little blog. But I am back and what better thing to be back talking about then the thing I'm most passionate about...MAKEUP! And not just any makeup but the MAC RiRi collection.
I could of easily bought all of it but I had my sensible head on and managed to whittle it down to 2 items although I may try and pick up the 'RiRi Woo Lip Pencil'. I already own 'RiRi Woo Lipstick'so that was already off the list. So the two items I did end up picking up was the 'Her Cocoa' eyeshadow quad and the 'Diamonds' cream colour base.



There are two quads available, 'Her Cocoa' which is more brown neutrals and 'Smoked Cocoa' which is dark smokey colours. I opted for the more brown quad as I knew I would get more daily use out of it. The colours don't have names as far as I can see but the website does have four colour descriptions. You have bright bronze gold, soft peach, chocolate bronze and antique gold. I adore all four shades and have had a chance to wear them all and can say I absolutely love this quad. I have worn them literally everyday since I got the quad.


Sorry about my crappy swatches, this is something I have to work on for my blog. All four colours work well together and I've tried a multiple of combinations and each time I get compliments so this is definitely a winner. It's currently sold out on the website but if you're lucky you may still be able to find it in a MAC store or counter. It retails at £33.00.


I've never owned a cream colour base before so this was a new experience for me and the verdict is in... I love it. Now from previous posts you will know I love my MAC Mineralize Skin Finishers to death and thought nothing would ever compare to them but I've got to say this cream colour base in 'Diamonds' is definitely up there with my favourites. It's described as a golden shade and can range from a light veil to highly dramatic depending on what method you choose to apply it with. I personally choose to use my fingers but I think I will try out different ways to apply it just to see how different the finishing look is.


Again it is sold out online but do check your local store or counter. It retails for £16.50.

Have you purchased anything from the Rihanna collection?

MUA Cosmetics Collaborate with One Direction | The Little Things Collection


You will probably see these posts pop up all over the place but as a avid One Direction fan and yes i'm proud to admit it I thought I would post about this exciting collaboration.
The collection is going to consist of four different products each with a connection to the boys.



First is the Kiss You Lipsticks available in five different shades, one for each of the 1D boys. The first shade is Moments which is a subtle soft pink, then I Wish is an amazing bright coral perfect for the summer. Next is I Want which is for the bright pink lovers out there, Rock Me is the lovely lilac shade and finally for those who love to rock a red lip there's Be Mine.

Next is the Kiss You Lip Polishes again available in five different shades. They are all super moisturising and apparently have a delicious smell to add to the mix. The five shades/scents are Harry loves Strawberry, Zayn loves Watermelon, Louis loves Vanilla, Niall loves Cherry and Liam loves Blueberry.

Then we have the What Makes You Beautiful Cheek Tint in three shades, Coral Cutie, Pink Explosion and Rose Riot. These are perfect for that little flush of colour. They are a cream formulation which are buildable and whether you want a subtle glow or rosy cheek these shades are universal.


And finally we have the Little Things Nail Polishes which I think are going to sell like hot cakes. I have only been able to find the names for two of the shades which are Everything Emerald which is Liams colour and Gold & Gorgeous which is Nialls shade and both of these have an extra bit of shimmer in them.

So there you have it. Do you have anything on your wishlist?

This collection will be released on the 31st July and available from the MUA website or the Superdrug website.

RiRi ♥ M.A.C Summer 2013 Collection


You will probably see this pop up on about 10,000 beauty blogs at some point this week but as a MASSIVE Rihanna fan I had to mention it on my blog. The images for her Summer portion of her year long collaboration with M.A.C cosmetics have been revealed and I must say I will probably buy all of it!
The first part was her redesigned version of the cult classic Ruby Woo lipstick 'RiRi Woo' which sold out within the first 3 hours of going on sale. This went on sale to coincide with her Stadium Tour on May 5th & 6th. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these and I refuse to use it until I at least get myself a backup (yes i'm that sad!!)
I admit that the main reason I am attracted to this collection is because it's Rihanna. The past year or so I've found myself not needing to buy from collections much but this one is a certainty.


Lipsticks
RiRi Woo - Matte Cool Red (Retro Matte).
RiRi Boy - Retro Matte Version Of 'Up The Amp'. (Retro Matte).
Heaux - A Deep Berry (Retro Matte).


Blush Duo
Hibiscus Kiss - Cool Coral / Matte Neutral Bronze.


Lustre Drops
Barbados Girl - Light Golden Bronze Shimmer

Out of the whole 5 items the one I could probably do without least is the lustre drops as I've had them before and never found them of much use.

What do you think of the collection? Will you be buying anything from the collection?
