October Wish List


Jeeeesss October has come around so fast. Having started university this year I'm pretty poor right now as I'm still currently waiting on my student loan to come in, so until then I thought I'd just share the things that I have fallen in love with!


Olympus Pen E-PL7 Double Zoom Kit - LINK
I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with a camera until now. I've seen this quite a few times and the quality of the pictures it can take are amazing. 100% need an upgrade!

Zara Sheepskin Jacket - LINK
As winter is approaching I love buying a new coat/jacket every year. My friend from work had this on and oh my, it is the softest cosiest thing I have ever felt, this is a necessity.

Public Desire Black Over the Knee Boots LINK
Having never owned a pair like this I decided it was time to venture outside of my comfort zone and get a pair - will keep you posted!

Charlotte Tilbury 3rd Edition Makeup Bag - LINK
First off, I am ridiculously excited for Christmas, and seeing as this is limited edition for the holiday season it makes me want it even more. Although I don't know if I can justify spending £32 on a makeup bag so I guess we'll see how generous I'm feeling.

Charlotte Tilbury Amazing Grace and Love Liberty - LINK
Having recently bought another duo from Charlotte Tilbury - Sexy Sienna and Lost Cherry (review to come soon) - I have fallen in love with the matte consistency as it's creamy and doesn't dry your lips. I'm now lusting after this duo!

Kiko Perfecting Bronzer - LINK
Kiko Contouring Pencil Set - LINK
Yet more makeup to add to the collection! I went into store and swatched these and they're incredible! They're part of a limited edition collection so I better get on these quick, where are you student loan?!

Sigma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki Brush White - LINK
Sigma Beauty 3DHD Precision Brush White - LINK
My friend recently bought these and raved about how amazing they are, so now they're part of my wish list. I've been on the hunt for some new makeup brushes anyway and these look very funky fresh!

Reiss Laguna Bag in Apricot - Ebay
This bag unfortunately isn't available online anymore but I have seen a couple of these on Ebay so let the hunt begin. I'm not usually one for small bags as I'm one of those people who like to take everything they own with them when they go out, but this was love at first site.

Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette | Review

Ever since buying the original Chocolate Bar palette from Too Faced, I knew I needed to buy this one. Luckily for me it had just come into Sephora stores in France a couple of days before I visited. Obviously I snapped this up!

As you can see the colours are absolutely beautiful and very chocolately in colour chart and smell *drools*. I really like how there are many matte shades and some beautiful shimmery ones too! I was also really excited about the blue shade - Blueberry Swirl - they've put in. I'm not going to go into much detail about the packaging as Too Faced have the cutest packaging which are always faultless and adorable. 


Unlike the original Chocolate Bar Palette, the names of the shades are in the palette this time which is super helpful.  They've kept the same layout with the two bigger neutral shades - One matte and one shimmery. I like to use Coconut Creme as an eye shadow base and I love using Butter Pecan as a highlighter.  

My favourite shade in this palette is Pink Sugar. It appears pink in the pan but when applied it's more like a glitter on the eye without being too pinky - love! I also love using Nougat as a pinky transition shade. 

As you can see from the swatches this palette is extra gorj and I would 100% recommend to anyone! As per usual the shades are pigmented and blend like a dream. The only shade that I've found isn't as pigmented is Blueberry Swirl. It's very sheer and not as blue as it looks in the pan.
I've see a couple of people say they prefer the original but I have to admit, Too Faced have risen to the occasion and I love them both equally. I think it depends on what the weather is like or what kinda mood I'm in for me to choose between the two. On the whole I'd say that this palette has a lovely choice of cool and warm shades which is perfect for people who want a bit of variety.

This palette retails at £45 but it's £39 when you buy it from Debenhams! Plus you can receive points!
