April Wishlist! || bckysklly

5. 'The Moodys' Sunglasses by Unif
6. MAC Cosmetics 266 Small Angle Brush
7. MAC Cosmetics 217 Blending Brush

Once again, I can't deal with the fact we're another month into the year, it's going crazily fast and we're finally into spring, meaning it's time to start stocking up on sunglasses and sandals! These platforms from La Moda are amazing! They have so many gorgeous pairs of shoes on this site so I can't wait to get my hands on a pair! Another must have for me this year is going to be the UNIF Moodys. I wanted these sunglasses all last year but by the time I could afford them, it was already autumn! They come in 4 different shades, but these rainbow ones are my favourite of the bunch! I'm also in desperate need of getting my hands on the LORAC PRO palette, however I'm finding it super difficult to find it anywhere that ships to the UK, if you know anywhere this can be found, let me know! My brush collection is always crying out for new additions, and I know these two brushes are a staple in any make up addicts collection, and since I've misplaced my usual brow brush, it only seems right to be adding the 266 to my collection! I'm also loving Tanya Burr's nail varnishes that she's brought out, the this colour is my favourite as I'm loving duck egg blue at the moment, such a gorgeous colour for spring! There's also a range of lipglosses that Tanya has created, but I'm more of a lipstick girl myself! Lastly, a product that is probably going to be on my wishlist for the rest of my life, the beautiful Michael Kors Selma bag. I honestly feel like I need this bag in my life, but the scary price tag is stopping us from being together, once I've paid off my holiday, I feel like I'm finally going to bite the bullet and get this!

What's on your list for your spring essentials? Do you have a high end product you need in your life? Let me know in the comments!

March Favourites! || bckysklly




So by the time I've actually posted this, it officially won't be March anymore, however it will be the early hours of April 1st, so I'm sure I'll get away with it!


So first up in my favourites this month is my much loved Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay. When I first got this, I was a bit worried about how much I'd use it, as I'm a proper neutrals girl. However after watching a couple of YouTube tutorials using this, it's crept up to being my favorite out of the Naked trio! I'm definitely going to be doing a more in depth review of this as it has some gorgeous colours in!
Next is the lips! I'm a Mac lipstick hoarder and I have too many for having only one mouth! This month, my new addition to the family was from the limited edition Fantasy of Flowers collection, a shade called 'Snapdragon'. It's a lustre finish, which I haven't tried before, and is a gorgeous pinky/purple with blue tones. As this is part of a limited edition collection it won't be around much longer, but I do think some online stockists may still have this so snatch it up while you can! Another new lip favourite of mine is the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms and I bought these in the colours 'Audacious' and 'Elusive' and I absolutely love them! They have a lovely minty smell which makes you feel as if they're doing something good to your lips, probably not but it's a nice smell to sit under my nostrils all day ha! These also come in a high shine glossy lacquer as well, which is next on my list!
I've also recently stopped biting my nails (hallelujah!) so I've been splurging on lots of different nail polishes. My favourite I've purchased so far is one of the Barry M Gelly Range in the colour 'Blueberry'. The smell of this is a bit off putting but I can easily look past that thanks to the high shine glossy finish this gives my nails and it's such a gorgeous colour too!
And lastly, the face stuff! I always find myself in a bit of a pickle when it comes to finding a foundation I love, and I must of wasted hundreds of pounds doing this. I tend to find an amazing foundation and after a week my skin decides it doesn't want to embrace it anymore and it just reacts horribly with me. Fingers crossed that up to now Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 'Light Vanilla' has managed to survive this curse! It tends to last me throughout the day and doesn't feel too heavy on my skin, meaning it never goes horribly cakey like most other foundations do with my skin! This is my second month of using this daily and I still love it so hopefully I may have found my staple foundation at a bargain £10! Then comes my ultimate holy grail skin care product, La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo. This product is AMAZING. I suffer with quite bad skin whether it's spots or scarring from spots and this helps to combat both of those. It's about £15 a tube but you need to use the tiniest bit morning and night so it does last quite a long time. I love this product and have done for a while now so it's a definite must in my skin care routine. 

And that's it for my favorites of March! I can't quite believe that's it's April already and that I'm going to be 21 in 6 little months! Does anyone else think that this year is disappearing stupidly quick?!

What have you favourites been this March? Are any the same as mine? Comment and let me know!

February Wishlist! || bckysklly



Ok, can someone just double check that I'm not dreaming about it being February already?! Although we're still full swing into the winter season, I'm already wanting to start preparing for spring! This topshop shirt is gorgeous and I'm love with the T-bar shoes so I think I'll definitely be purchasing these on payday! I also can't wait to try the AA Easy Jean/Topshop Joni Jean dupe from ASOS, I've read great things about these and they're meant to be much more flattering than the Joni jeans (which I love!). A new phone is DEFINITELY on the cards, after dropping my phone down the toilet, getting it to work again, and then cracking the back of it, I have zero luck with any technology! My make up love affair is still going strong, and Impassioned is the next on my make up hit list, which I think I might get with my empties using back to mac. I'm sure I don't need to explain why I want the ring...look at it!

What are you wanting to get you ready for break? Are you any better at controlling your make up addiction than me? Let me know!

November Wishlist! || bckysklly



So as you'll be able to tell I've been extremely missing in action in my blogging habits lately! I've decided that since it's winter, and I'm going to be indoors wrapped up in numerous layers more than usual, I'm going to blog more as well!
I thought I'd start my 'big comeback' with all the things I'd like this month! I've recently started a new job and I've finally been able to buy things I've lusted after for ages so these items are definitely next on my hit list, and winter coming fast, do I really need a better excuse than to buy coats, boots and gorgeous thick jumpers?! I've also been bitten by the beauty bug lately, and seem to spend most of my money on cosmetics. I fell in love with the Urban Decay Naked 1 & 2 Palettes so I'd love to add some more Naked products to my collection!

Are you ready and wrapped for winter yet? Leave me comments and tell me what purchases you'd like to grab this season!
