Hi guys!
So this is another wishlist but first I'd like to do a quick life update section. So it's currently 1:38am here and I'm not able to sleep. Admittedly I haven't been able to get to sleep 'til about 6:30am, it's ridiculous. Like my brain is just filled with worry and anxiety constantly. I actually want to sleep and my eyes want to close but my brain's like 'lol no'. This has been going on for maybe 5 nights in a row now, my mum's put it down to my anxiety so I'm not sure how I feel about that. I went to Boots today and me and mum bought some natural sleeping tablets that claim they take effect within 30 minutes. Well, I took the tablet at 10pm and here I am, awake at 1:44am. I highly doubt I'll be in college tomorrow either which sucks because I was off last week and my attendance is just constantly going down and ugh. ANYWAY, wishlist time!

This isn't even going to be specific wishlist, it's going to have a bit of everything in there ok.

Hey!
I really do apologise for the out of focus photos, my camera was almost about dead when I was taking these so I had to rush them, sorry!


This is my make up bag (okay, I say make up bag, it was on the back to school sale with the pencil cases in WHSmith for 75p, 75p for a Hello Kitty x Liberty product though. Bargain!)

So what actually is in my everyday make up bag?



Natural Collection lipstick from Boots in the shade 'Pink Mallow'.
Brow Bar Kit by W7 Makeup.
Double Wear Foundation by Estée Lauder in shade '1C1: Cool Bone'.
Undress Me Too eyeshadow palette by MUA (Make Up Academy.)
Great Lash Mascara by Maybelline.


Lasting Perfection Concealer by Collection 2000 in shade 'fair'.
Healthy Mix Serum Foundation by Bourjois Paris in shade '51'.
Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter by MUA (Make Up Academy).
True Colour Lipstick by Sleek in shade 'Mulberry'.
Carmex Cherry flavour.
MUA Lipstick (not sure what the shade is but it's a shimmery pink colour.)
MUA One Direction Lipstick in shade 'I Want'.
Revlon Flair Perfume.

I also have a much larger make up which has a lot more in, but these are just the things I use the most. :-) Tell me below, what's your favourite thing in your make up bag?
That's all for now,

Hello again,
2nd blog in a day, I'm feeling motivated, haha. I picked up this lipstick last week, the same time I bought my Undress Me Too palette (see review here). So, it takes me quite a while to fall in love with a lipstick, but this had me from the moment I swatched it in store. Might I add, I'm not really a fan of One Direction, it wasn't until I opened the lipstick up at home that I realised it had '1D' engraved into the top of the lipstick, but that didn't make me love it any less.


As you can see, the packaging is lovely and resembles somewhat of a MAC lipstick (obviously if the bottom of it wasn't red.) On the top half of it, the word 'Kiss' is written in silver and on the bottom, 'you' is written in black. Good use of contrast, well done MUA. The kisses and star is a cute addition to it also.


Do ignore how dirty the packaging has got, I've been wearing this everyday this week. So, the colour is the most perfect orange toned red, it also has a tiny bit of a gold shimmer when under light. It's not as bright as it looks in the packaging but it's definitely buildable, it's not drying on the lips at all but it also doesn't slide off during the day. This lipstick has lasted me 5 hours at the most and then I'd have to top up my lipstick, which isn't too bad since this lipstick cost me £3. It definitely has the potential to be as good as a higher end lipstick, but take with that what you will, that's just my opinion.

It's highly pigmented which is expected as it's an MUA lipstick, they usually are. It's such a lovely orange toned red and could be compared closely to Lady Danger by MAC, if you like the colour of Lady Danger but would prefer it to have a bit of shimmer to it, this is the lipstick for you.

This lipstick comes in a collection of 4 others and are available from Superdrug for £3 each, it's definitely worth trying.

So to conclude this blog post, MUA have got a winner here and this will be something I will repurchase about 3 or 4 times next week as the entire One Direction collection is limited edition sadly enough and they should maybe consider releasing a lipstick like this in their normal range. *hint hint*

Thanks so much for reading, that's all for now.
