Wish List!


I have to write lists for everything... To Do, To Buy etcccc. (it's usually To Buy really), this is what's on my wish list at the moment, it will no doubt be updated...

- Myface Lipliners - recommended by Lulu (and the strawberry fields lipstick looks good)
- Prestige liquid eyeliner - I used to have a blue one and it was really good, and I need a new black one :)
- NYC liquid liner - recommended by Emilynoel83
- Body shop honey and oat mask- recommended by DulceCandy
- Palmers Cocoa Butter formula lip balm - love the smell of this range and need a lip balm:)
- Elf complexion brush, for overall bronzer and powder
- Elf Cream eyeshadow in Bronzed
- Elf conditioning balm in Nice and Natural!
- Eco tools retractable Kabuki, or bronzer brush
- Elf HD powder
- Bare escentuals Faux Tan
- No 7 lipliner in Nude - created by Lisa Elridge
- No 7 stay perfect eye mousse in Vanilla
- Benefit That Gal - mine ran out ages ago and i've wanted it ever since
- Pen pots for my makeup brushes, the large ELF one looks pretty handy. (still reforming my makeup storage/collection and want it to look pretty!) i also want a pretty box of tissues... sad i know 

 

Benefit vs Mememe and 2true!

So with Glamour magazine this month they were giving away minature High Beam, Benetint and Posie Tint (as i previously mentioned), which yes i was a little excited about... Last year when they came out with Eye Bright, Bad Gal Liner and It stick concealer in FULL SIZE i got them all and eye bright has been a staple in my makeup ever since. I didn't get posie tint as i already tried it and didn't really need it.


Everyone loves these 'cult' products... High Beam is creamy and gives a dewy finish, which I really like, and Benetint is a rosy colour which i wear on my cheeks, but can be also used a lip stain.

Although the quality is good they are pretty expensive and don't think I'd buy the full size ones. Mememe, which is a low end brand sold in Superdrug do amaaazing dupes and are over half the price, and the quality is also good. The two shades are reminiscent of Moon Beam (a golden glow) and High Beam! If i was Benefit i'd be pissed off.


2true, also a cheap brand in Superdrug do a lip and cheek stain which is comparable to Benetint, and only £2! AND they do a pink one just like Posie Tint! When I run out of the miniature benefit products I will definitely reach for these, or save the small versions for travelling :)
