WISH LIST WEDNESDAY

We all have those products that we lust for and if we had the mullah we would definitely invest in them. I thought it'd be fun to post some of the things that I've been eyeing for a while and things that I will eventually (hopefully) invest in! 

1. Lacome Teint Visionnaire Skin Correcting Makeup Duo ($60)

What attracted me to this was the fact that it claimed to basically give the impression of flawless skin, which of course caught my interest and I'm really interested in Lancome's Visionnaire line. 

2. Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow - Rosy Tan 754 ($60)
I've heard pretty good things about the Dior shadows and I like to think they'll feel "luxurious" on my eyes 

3. Marc Jacobs Beauty Lovemarc Lip Gel - #110 Role Play ($30)

At $30 a pop I would hope this thing feel like magic on the lips without drying them out. 

4. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick - Nectar ($42)
I think this may have been one of the first Bobbi Brown products I heard about. I was intrigued and I really fell for the beautiful, but not too crazy, shimmer in it. 

5. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder - Radiant Light Golden Beige ($45)
Do I really have to say more?! This thing looks amazing and magical! I've been lusting over this every since I saw Tiffany D rave about them. It looks so natural but adds just the right amount of perfectness to the skin. 


So as of right now, these are some of the products that I've been eyeing out for a while. I doubt I'll really invest in any of them, but it's nice to always have something to save up for! Do you have products that you've been eyeing? What are they?

MUST SEE MONDAY: Too Faced Natural Eye Palette


A great beginner's palette is never hard to find these days. It seems that companies are constantly coming out with palettes based on neutral/easy to wear shadows; and some have built a line off of those palettes (*cough* naked *cough*). With all those palettes coming out, I feel that there's been a forgotten palette which is the Too Faced Natural Eye palette. This was my first high-end palette that I received as a birthday gift (about three years ago). 


I fell in love with this palette because of the neutral, but versatile shades in it. The top row, which is all matte, offers basic shades that I look for in a palette to be matte. The second row has shimmery colors, but nothing too extreme where you couldn't wear it to the office or a professional setting. The last row has my favorite color, Honey Pot, and I like this row for an easy bronze look. **I'll post a full on review later**


Although this palette may not have as many shades as the other palettes, I feel like less is more with this one. You can create a variety of looks without thinking about what colors to use. 

I recently checked out Too Faced's website and saw that they changed a couple of the shades in the newer version of this palette and made it a lot less bulkier. 



Cashmere Bunny has replaced Velvet Revolver
Nude has replaced Nude Beach
Chocolate Martini has replaced Cocoa Puff

I'm not too sure why they decided to change out some of the colors, but I do like the fact they changed Nude Beach to Nude (there was no where appropriate to use Nude Beach). 

With the changes I still feel like this palette is at least worth looking at. You can still get a variety of looks and you have great matte colors that can help you blend your e/s.
