#sbbc day 16 -Wishlist

Monday again? Really? Luckily today's #sbbc topic is one that can help us escape the horrible reality that is Monday ( Go sit in the corner Monday, nobody likes you!)
One of today's suggested topics is "Wishlist- makeup,skincare,fashion"

I always have a wishlist as long as my arm...makeup,clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery...I want, I want, I want. However,I'll just mention a few today and hope that my fellow bloggers can help me by suggesting some products (which will, of course, have to wait til post-payday to be purchased)

1. Foundation. I've mentioned it before but I think I need a new foundation, I currently use Rimmel 25hr foundation. I've used it for the past few years and always found it great but recently I've been thinking I need a new one. Which leads me on to no#2 on the wishlist...

2.Moisturiser. I'm thinking that part of the reason  that I'm not happy with my usual foundation is that my skin has seemed dull lately. I admit I am terribly for moisturising regularly, really it's more of a rarity for me to do it but, I'm not getting any younger and I think my skin is telling me that moisturiser needs to become part of my daily routine. So, any suggestions for one that could give my skin a bit of life? Ideally,since the plan is for it to be used everyday, not a super expensive one.

3. Boots. Since Autumn/Winter is upon is boots are back (yay!). To be honest I think my brown boots from last year will last me pretty well again this year, so my search is for a nice flat black pair of boots. The search is on!

These are the top 3 of my current wishlist. Can anyone help me make some of these wishes a reality? All suggestions welcome.

#sbbc Day 5 Makeup Remover

I've had many faves and fails in almost every category of makeup that exists,probably too many to mention, so I'm going to write about the makeup remover I'm currently using.

I love this Boots cucumber cleansing lotion. I have very sensitive skin (seriously, I once used a facial wash that burnt my face and required a trip to the doctors,a steroid cream for my face and a round of steroid pills. Not fun!) and this is one of the few cleansers that doesn't irritate it. Now,to be honest,you do have to use a good amount of this to remove all your makeup, or maybe I just wear a lot of makeup! I use this my slathering it all over my face,then wiping it off using a warm washcloth. I usually have to do this twice to remove all my makeup but my face feels so soft afterwards!  I have tried removing it using cotton pads but I found I had to use far more of the cleanser and a hell of a lot of cotton pads to get all my makeup off so I now always use a washcloth to remove my makeup with this product.  It leaves my face really soft and makeup free and doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin, and, for €1.99 you can't go wrong really.

Outift Post 20/3/13....Tuesdays with Morrie on Wednesday night

During the week I went to see the play, Tuesdays with Morrie, with a friend. Just a casual outing so nothing too fancy was worn. I highly recommend you go see the play if you get a chance, it was great!

I wore with deep green jeans that I bought during the Christmas sales at DV8,love these jeans , they are so soft and comfy! I chose a cream jumper and patterned red scarf from Dorothy Perkins that I wore many moons ago.My jacket is from New Look,I've gotten so much use out of this jacket lately, it's comfy and surprisingly warm and I got it on sale too...win!

 I decided to wear boots I bought well over a year ago in Penneys,not only do they have a heel so they give a bit of height, but they are also really warm...very much needed these days!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Just heading out for a few....

Just a quick post on what I wore while out with friends this weekend. I went a bit more casual this weekend as we were “just heading out for a few”, I decided to go with jeans and a shirt, both from Dorothy Perkins. It being the 1^st of December, however, a bit of Christmas sparkle had to be thrown in, it really feels like Christmas time now doesn't it?

 

 I recently rediscovered these boots that I bought last year from Penney's (cheap and cheerful), it seems they’d been thrown aside and forgotten about (shame on me). Finding them was a happy surprise, it was like getting new boots all over again, so they had to get an outing, and they kept my feet toasty warm #winning . If I remember correctly, at the time I bought them they were reduced and only cost me around 12 euro...bargain!

 

Hope you're all keeping well  xx
