Copycat Beauty Blogger Wish List


Beauty_bloggers_wish_list


In the past month or so I have been trying to cut down on the amount of makeup I buy. Due to my previous makeup spending and the amount of PR samples I receive (which I am of course very grateful for) I have more than enough makeup and feel it is a bit silly of me to buy even more. 

But due to reading so many beauty blogs I cannot help lusting after some products especially the ones that seem to be highly loved and talked about so often! So here is wish list that I have put together of all the products I'm dying to try, but holding off on until I think I deserve to have a little spend! 


Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers 
Boots - £5.99 here
 These new offerings from Rimmel have just set the beauty blogging world on fire! I have read countless amazing reviews on the range and all the swatches I have seen have really tempted me. Dying to try out Nude Eclipse, Nova and Big Bang (this looks looks like such an amazing wearable red lip). If you want to see really great swatches on the lips then I recommend you have a look at Katie's post from Katie's Beauty Blog here.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
Boots/Superdrug - £8.99 
I haven't purchased a foundation in such a long time as I just have so many that I have been rotating. So I feel it is justified to purchase a new spring foundation at the end of the month. The new Revlon Nearly Naked foundation has been receiving a lot of love and I am yet to read a bad review of it. The sheer slightly dewy coverage of this is what appeals to me most as I just don't think I suit full coverage foundation, especially in spring/summer - I seem to look really made up! So this is sounding like a great match for me... though slightly disappointed on the lack of a pump on the bottle (why oh why do brands do this!). You can find a great video review of the foundation from Miss Budget Beauty - here.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Top Coat in Confetti
Boots/Superdrug/Tesco - £4.99 
Now this may not be a wish list item any longer as I spotted this while doing some late night shopping in Tesco this week and had to snap it up. An amazing top coat that I cannot wait to try out... well I say try out but I already have it over a nude nail polish on my thumb as I had to swatch it as soon as I got home. I know I am going to love this top coat sooooo much. Great nails pics can be found over on The London Lipgloss - here. 
 
Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Lychee 
Superdrug - £3.99 here
I do love Barry M Nail Paints and do own quite a few however the fairly new 'Gelly' nail paints just haven't grab me at all, I just can't seem to see how they are that much different to a normal nail polish. Though Lychee is a shade that has caught my eye as I love more natural grey toned nudes especially to use as a base for wonderful glittery nail polishes! I think I will need this in my life before summer. Lovely nail swatches over on Brit Nails - here. 
 
Essense_oz_great_and_powerful
Essense Oz The Great and Powerful Collection 
Not sold in the UK but can be found via eBay
Ahhhh how I wish Essense would make their way to the UK! The new Essense Limited Edition Oz The Great and Powerful collection has been springing up to tease me on many of the European beauty blogs I read and I just want it all. From the cream blush to the colour changing lip balms and the wonderful embossed highlighting powder - It's just all so beautiful. I do also love Urban Decay's offering of products for the new film but Essense's prices are so cheap compared and just as good in my opinion. I may have to have a look on eBay for the cream blush at the very least.
 
Dr Jart Water Fuse BB Beauty Balm
Boots - £18 here
This is a light oil-free BB cream that is designed to control sebum production throughout the day whilst still looking a bit dewy on the skin... plus it also contains an SPF of 25 which is good enough for me on a normal spring day. I constantly feel like I should be giving up on BB Creams now and moving on... well actually I have with my first ever CC cream but that is for another post entirely! But there is something about this product that makes me think it will be different from all the rest by the postitive reviews I have read. My only rule is that I have to swatch it in Boots first to make sure it is light enough for my skin tone as there is just no point purchasing it online to then find out it's too dark or grey toned against my skin

If you own any of these product please do let me know if they are worth buying and also what you are wanting to purchase at the moment! 

Fee xo.

i love the rimmel apocalipse i won one from rimmel along with some other goodies its an in your face red not my sort of colour but great for a night out. I am going to purchase a more neutral shade and i havr my eye on one. Luna looks nice on swatches on lips but not 100% sure about it.
I love the rimmel apocalips - I had two shades, in Big Bang (which is a really red colour) and Celestial (which is a much softer, dusky/mauvey pink lovely lovely colour) - I love them both but was wearing Celestial the most, of course I then went and lost it.... They are really nice, though. They're not for everyone but I really like them - Like Kate I really want to try Luna, I'm not sure it'd suit me but I just keep wanting to try it (I will be rebuying celestial, too, I'm sure)

Also, Revlon nearly naked really is so good. I am really enjoying it so far. I've only used it a few times as I'm crazily trying to test about 5 different face products at once so swapping and changing like no ones business even though I should just stop and do one at a time - Too impatient for my own good - But it really is wonderful. I won't describe it, you'll have read enough, but I've found it to be just as good as others are saying =)

I bought Luna and totally regret it. It makes me look dead. So unwearable! :(
Thanks so much for the blog link Fee!! The Apocalips are truly amazing - I wear them daily! xxx
Try a 'no-buy' month, it really helped me to focus on what one truly 'needs'. Also helps to use up some of the half used items...x
I love the Oz blush, it's awesome!!
I am absolutely lusting over the revlon nearly naked foundation. I haven't let myself cave yet but I can see it happening once I run out of my current tinted moisturizers (it sounds like its similar to a tinted moisturizer).

Beauty blogs always make me want so many products! I love it though!

I love the Dr Jart BB cream. It lasts so long - I got a sample size in my glossy box at the start of November. It was only 15 ml and I have been using it almost every day (probably about 5 times a week) since the start of November and it's only just starting to run out! I am going to try another one next time but I could totally see myself ocming back to this!

I bought the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation today! Tried it straight away as soon as I got home (of course after taking my previous make up off) and instantly fell in love! It is a light to medium coverage but it is buildable without feeling cakey! It really does feel light :) I posted about a mini haul today so check it out. Will also do a proper review the foundation in the next few days.

As for my wishlist, can't wait to try out the apocalips in the colour stella! Looks so lush :)

That top coat looks stunning. I might have to get it... I'm supposed to be on a spending ban but it looks perfect for imitating the speckle polishes
You can now buy Essence and Catrice in the UK through Sallys Magpie nail shop, athough just looks like the regular line not the ltd editions sadly.

I quite fancy the L'Oreal top coat too, although every store I try is empty. Just have to keep on looking :-)
Apolocalips are amazing, but they very much remind me of Clarins Joli Rouge - which I think you've mentioned before. They even taste pretty much exactly the same. I think you mentioned Apricot Sugar from the Joli Rouge collection before? That's very much like an inbetween of Nude Eclipse and Luna from Apolocalips, but it has better staying power. I was lucky enough to get a PR sample of Big Bang though, and I am in love with it, but it is a little messy!
nice......
I've actually got the Barry M Gelly nail varnish on now - I LOVE IT! Superdrug currently have 3 for 2 as well ;) Tempting you more....

I bought the Essence highlight powder and it sucks big time. Essence products are hit or miss (mostly miss in my experience).
Love the sounds of the Lychee nail polish! Might try that! I'd love it if you stopped by my blog some time and followed me? I've done quite a few nail colour reviews! ;)
