Saturday shopping list

Off to Leeds with Em today, we are on a make up only mission.  Although will be purchasing Armani or CK tighty whities for her bf for Valentines day, ladies she is one lucky girl he is seriously fit.  Is it wrong to perv on your daughters bf?  Yea, thought so.  Moving on.

Leeds - have been vacillating between the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich all week.  One day one works really well, then the next it is suddenly dry on my nose, or makes my face feel tight.  Overall think the Chanel gives better coverage and is certainly more buildable, the BB is thinner and I find it harder to build up.  Problem with the Chanel on nose and chin, my 2 major problem areas, is that the Chanel seemed to manage to combine sinking into my pores with sliding around, how is that even possible?  This morning have put some Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting touch under it and so far it is looking much better, so have a feeling am going to come home with that!

Also after another BB creamy lip stick, having looked on the website Twilight might be the one depending on how it is in the flesh.

Have a £5 Boots voucher to use before tomorrow so that is probably going towards a Ruby and Millie eye shadow brush.

Mentioned earlier in week huge painful lump on my nose, have spent the last 2 days worried it was a boil, have never felt anything like it, rubbing in moisturiser without having taken a pain killer first nearly reduced me to tears, I kid you not.  Last night it was agony and now this morning it seems to be less so, so perhaps the worst is over and its going to sod off.  Please, please sod off.

Have a fab Saturday everyone.

Lust List

It's out of hand, this time.  Reading blogs is seriously bad for your wealth.  I want so much at the moment I keep dropping subtle hints about spending Sunday in Leeds spending loads on make up, well I actually just say that out loud as after 20 years of marriage subtle is rather pointless.  He smiles and walks away.  Guess he is still doing subtle.

Ok list:
MAC Cream blush in Uncommon - as Lillicent is too much colour at this time of year when I am so pale.
Or a Bobbi Brown sheer stick blush, thinking maybe sheer mauve which looks like it might be far enough away from pink for me, but might be too dark.
Bobbi Brown foundation - only a sample at this stage though.  I am kind of hoping their emphasis on yellow tones might help play down my natural pink'ness, that I hate.
Mavala - Nailactan to help with my month of nail improving.
Illamasqua Scarab - for when I break the ban
Models Own - Nude Beige for classy nails in Feb
Eye shadow - ideally have a Bobbi Brown SA do my eyes and then buy everything she uses!
Another Bobbi Brown cream lipstick as I love Heather Buff and would like another to ring the changes, maybe a darker one to go with a smoky eye for evenings, well a girl can dream!

That's my lot.  Have you got any post Christmas cravings that have yet to be met?  If you have a lust list what one thing would you get right now if you were given the chance?  If several Bobbi Brown eye shadows were classed as "one thing" then they would be my right now choice!

Lust list

Not a list.

Just one thing.

Guerlain Samsara.




Was in Boots this morning and had a squirt as I always feel Guerlain perfumes are the kind of grown up, sophisticated thing I should like and then I don't. Wasn't sure at first but as this has developed over the last hour it is killing me that I don't own it. It is described as warm, woody, sophisticated and sensual - which frankly is me in a bottle don't ya think??! On the upside am flying to Newquay tomorrow which will involve duty free, even if it is only Leeds Bradford and not Manchester, on the downside frugal bloggers don't buy perfume on a whim, from duty free. Do they?
