Weekly Wishlist | 004

This week has just flown by! I actually have some pretty exciting news to share with you all... I've just got my first job! Well, six month internship actually but, it's a start, it's paid, it's in London and it's in an industry I love. I can't believe how lucky I am! Another post will be up soon explaining some more details, but for now here's a little peek at some of the products I'm lusting after this month.

Revlon baby stick

Revlon Baby Stick £6.99

Hello, can you believe it's May already? Where is this year going! Yesterday I had my last ever lecture of second year, it was about dissertations (scary stuff). Now I just have 1 more assignment, two exams and then this year is completely done with and I am one year closer to graduating! Then I'll actually have to join the real world and get a proper job haha...
Just before I went off to London for the Cosmopolitan Media Masterclass in April I had a little spending splurge in Superdrug and bought a few beauty bits including a Bourjois Blush and the new Revlon Baby Stick.

Revlon have recently released their new summer collection called Pacific Coast, which contains new shades of some of their top products such as the lip butters and longwear nail enamels. One of their new products if the Baby Stick, a tint for lips and cheeks. It's available in three different shades; Sunset, which is a vivid, coral orange, Pink Passion, a bright summery pink and Tahitian, a paler, orangey-pink and the one I went for. The stick has a creamy forumla which glides effortlessly on to skin, it provides a dewy finish for cheeks and a more matte effect when used on lips.
This product has a very sheer colour, that's why I didn't swatch it because it didn't even show up in the photograph. Because of this I'm not really keen on using it as a replacement for my Bourjois Blush, as I might as well not wear anything at all. That's why I've taken to wearing it with a blusher because it gives a really nice, dewy highlight to your cheekbones in one easy swipe. Tahitian is also a great choice for an everyday lipstick as it's such a light, summery colour. So even if you prefer a more vivid blush you can still pick up a Baby Stick to use just on your lips.

What do you think of the Pacific Coast Collection? Have you used any products yet?

What's in my make up bag?

 

I personally love seeing what other people have stashed away in their make up bags so I thought I would share with you my everyday products I can't leave the house without. I tend not to wear a lot of make up during the day, as I try to give my skin a bit of a breather but if I'm going out for the evening, I'll reapply my make-up and add liquid eyeliner, eye shadow and lipstick.

A good primer is essential for dealing with the perils and pitfalls of oily skin. This one is light and easy to apply, and keeps my make up in place throughout the day.

I was (and still am) a big fan of Maybelline foundations, but this one was recommended to me when I got colour matched at my local No. 7 counter. It provides medium coverage which is just the right amount for university or work and is actually pretty good at staying put.

Apologies for the bad picture but if can't leave the house without concealer then you need to invest in this one! I was browsing in Superdrug, killing time before my shift started and I picked up the PhotoReady concealer by Revlon and a whim and it's the best one I've used so far. The creamy stick gives excellent coverage without looking hideously obvious that you're trying to hide a spot or dark circles.

This powder has been a staple in my make-up bag for I don't know how long.

 Despite being a lover of all things Soap & Glory I never actually tried out any of their make-up range until I was given this mascara as part of a set for Christmas and I can tell you I'm never looking back! The brush is excellent at seperating and coating each individual lash which is perfect for creating a wide-eyed fanned out look.

What are you "must-have" everyday products?
