End of September/October Wishlist.

Hey guys, I feel like doing a Wish List post today, I have never done one on my blog before but I feel like it's time to do one as I am in the mood to try out some new products. These are products that I would like to buy at the end of this month/end of October if I have enough spare money saved up to buy them. Most of them being face/skin care products as I love trying out new ones to find some great skin care products to help clear my pores and skin. I am looking for new products to add or change into my skin care routine. 

I will be looking to do some review posts on my blog after testing out these products for a couple of weeks, so expect to see a couple popping up in the next couple of months. Whether I like the product or not, I will put a review up either way. Maybe this Wish List will help you discover some new products, so enjoy!

#1. Kaeso Rebalancing Mallow & Cucumber Toner, 195ml bottle. I have never tried any products from Kaeso Beauty, and to be honest I had never heard of this brand until I stumbled across it on the internet the other day. Their brand & packaging looks really professional and quite simple, which I like. They have a wide range of facial products and wish to try them all out. Unfortunately I don't think I would be able to purchase and try them all out! According to the website, the Rebalancing facial toner removes all traces of make-up and daily impurities. Benefiting from Mallow and Cucumber to moiturise and soften, and Witch Hazel to help refine pores and reduce oiliness. Restores the balance of an oily complexion and helps clarify skin condition. This product sounds perfect for my skin and wish to try this out and see if it could make a difference to my skin.

#2. Kaeso Beauty Hydrating Cleanser Aloe Vera and Cotton, 195ml bottle. Again, another Kaeso Beauty product that I wish to try, this time a cleanser. I don't know whether to go for the Rebalancing one to go with the toner, of to mix and match and go for the hydrating cleanser, I don't know if this will make a big difference to the results it would give or not.

#3. Mudd Original Mask, deep cleansing with pure clay formula. I have never tried any mud masks before and I thought that it's about time I try one out as I feel like it would do my skin some good. Again, I haver never heard of this brand 'Mudd' (if that's the actual brand name) but I feel like it's always good to try as many new brands as possible. 

#4. Revitale Collagen Deep Absorbent Nose Patches. I have used nose patches multiple times before as I suffer from quite bad black heads and pores on my nose and these are always handy and easy to try and clean my pores. I think these will be good as they are formulated with natural charcoal extract.

#5. Fair Naturally - Cotton & Cucumber Facial Toner 100ml. Again another toner, but in a water formula. I want to try this product as it is made with cucumber extract and I feel like cucumber will help freshen up my face.

#6. Another 'Mudd' mask, this time, it's their sea mask that claims to hydrate the skin. I love face masks, and these will be great in the autumn/winter times when I have my nice pamper evening. I want to love these masks as I really need a face mask I can use on a weekly basis, this packet contains 5 applications which means I only have to repurchase one every month or so. (The one above '#3' contains 10 applications as it's a bigger packet).

#1. Dead Sea Spa Magik Mild Exfoliant 75ml. I am in need of a new exfoliant soon, and again, wanting to try new brands, I thought that this might be a good product as it's a mild exfoliant. I have quite sensitive skin and a hard/heavy exfoliants aren't always the best for my face. 

#2. Dead Sea Spa Magik Super Night Cream 75ml. Another product from this brand. I don't actually own any night creams, apart from my night repair serum that I did a blog post on, so I thought that this could be a potential great first night cream for me.

#3. Tigi Bed Head Straighten Out Cream 120ml. Moving on to hair products now, I have tried a few Bed Head hair products before a while back and haven't tried any for a couple of years, so I feel like it's time to start trying them out again. I chose to add this Straighten Out Cream to my Wish List as I love using hair creams to help the condition of my hair, but this one should also help to keep my hair straighter when I blow dry it, instead of having little bits of hair going in all different directions.

#4. John Frieda Full Repair Perfect Ends Deep Infusion Serum 50ml. Again, I love using hair serums and I love John Frieda products so I'm sure this product should be a must have on my Wish List.

#5. Australian Organics Sweet Almond Oil Hand Cream 200ml. I have owned a few hand creams before, but I never really seem to use them as I find that I don't really like the fact of having oily/creamy hands after applying it for like a minute. But I don't know if that is because the ones I have tried before weren't very good and didn't sink in very well. I feel like I need to start using one as my hands can sometimes feel a bit dry.

My Autumn Goals.

Hey there guys, I'm sat here on this Monday night, just thinking about things, about life and the person I am. I have made a few mistakes lately and I feel like I'm letting myself go, like I'm not doing the best I could, and like I've kind have let myself adrift, and not putting as much effort into things and life as I should. You know when someone is talking to you about how you are and what you have done, and when you see things through their perspective you kinda realise how things aren't as what you expected or thought? Well that's kinda happened to me tonight, I don't want to go into too much detail but after having a long conversation with someone very close to me, I've realised that the person I am right now, is not the best I can be. I had a little moment, cried a few tears and felt sorry for myself (yep, I do that a lot *embarrassed face*), but you know, you gotta have a little meltdown now and then. Things in life aren't always going to go to plan, which I have realised in these last couple of months, and you're not always going to be the best you can be, because sometimes things get to you and you just feel like giving up and putting no effort into things.. Sometimes you don't even realise that this is happening to you until someone who is very often around you, tells you these things. Yeah at first it's going to get to you (I mean come'on, who likes being told that they aren't at their best) but it really does make you realise and think good and hard about things, and this often leads to a new and better step in your life. 

So yeah, after this event happening, I have been thinking long and hard about me, and my life and I've realised that their is a few things I want to change in these last few months of 2014. So this is why I am here, writing on my blog. I am going to write down 6 things I want to change or do this Autumn.

♥

. . . . . . . . . . 

1. Listen more to people. I have this habit where half the time I guess I don't listen to what people have to say (not like a conversation or anything but when it comes to ideas or plans or something like that) and I always tell myself 'Nah, I know what I'm doing, don't need to be told what to do', when in the end, what I was thinking screws up, doesn't go to plan and makes things worse. Yes, I hate myself for it and that's why I want to change it.

2. Put more effort into making my boyfriend feel special. (Sorry guys about the lovey dovey stuff haha). Now I know my boyfriend knows that I love him, more than anything in this world, and I tell him all the time and cuddle him and everything else, but lately I haven't really been putting much effort into doing other stuff to make him feel special to me, like surprising him with little gifts or taking him out for lunch, dinner, picnics, whatever, but I think you guys get the picture, and so my goal for this autumn is to do more for my boyfriend, like taking him out for a meal, planning a nice cosy evening together or even little things like making him drinks and making him his lunch or breakfast in bed or anything like that, I think it would mean a lot to him, so that is what I am going to do!

3. My third goal is pretty much like the last one, but it's treating my boyfriend to a gift or surprise every couple of days. Now we talked about this a few months back after moving out of our old apartment. We said that when we get out new one we would treat eachother to little surprises every few days, just so there's that little presence of how much we love and know eachother there. We said it doesn't have to be anything big, we could just simply listen out to what each other is saying and feeling like if he said 'ouh I'm really stressed out after a long hard days work' I'd be like mhm, I think a nice little bottle of beer and a nice film would cheer him up, so I would waddle off (yes, waddle, I am a duck) to the shop, grab his favourite beer, maybe a packet of crisps or pop corn and then come back, pick a funny film that we haven't seen before and get in bed and watch it. 

4. Have more pamper evenings. Now I don't often have these even though I wish I could have them every week. I just get a bit lazy and feel like I don't have enough time for these with university and stuff. (don't have an excuse for summer time though girl!) I don't think I really need any in the summer to be honest as I just find that it's too hot to have a nice relaxing bath, I would rather just have a nice warm shower instead. I think that Autumn is a great time to have nice pamper evenings.. Nice hot relaxing bubble bath with some chilled out music on, a nice soothing face mask, flickering candles.. mhm I can't wait haha! With the colder weather coming and university I think this would be great. I am in need of these nights very soon as I get very stressed out when it comes to university. 

5. Fourth one, start a YouTube Channel. Now I have been wanting to start one for so long now, I have been watching videos since I was at least 15 so for about four years now and I am addicted haha. I have been so inspired by so many Youtubers and there has been many a times where I have got my camera out when no one is around, filmed a video, edited it and never uploaded. I just pull out right at the last second, I don't know why, I guess it's just because I feel like it's not good enough or that no one will like or watch it.. I think the idea of Youtube is great, you can find so many different and amazing or funny content on there and watching videos does make me feel happy when I'm feeling a bit down, and I would love to be able to be that or do that to someone else to. The problem is I am quite a shy person, not very confident, and I just put myself down and think that I will never be good enough. I want to make videos to boost my confidence and get over my 'being shy' thing that I have, I hate it. So, this autumn, I am determined to pick up my camera and film a video and upload it, without fail! My boyfriend has recently started a Youtube Channel (Here) and it has inspired me to do mine. So, hopefully in the next couple of months you will see a blog post on here with a link to my very first video! 

6. My very last one for now, is just to tell all the people close to me how much I appreciate them and how much they mean to me. I think everyone should do this, tell people how much they mean to you, tell them how much you appreciate what they do for you, because I am sure that will put a big smile on their face and you always tell them this before it's too late. I am going to tell people how much I appreciate everything they do for me and make sure that I tell them everyday how much they mean to me and make me smile (say 'cheeeeese'! Only kidding!) because I feel like I don't do that enough and doing this will also make me a much happier person I believe.. ♥

. . . . . . . . . . 

There you go guys, there is my little list of goals this Autumn, I could probably write and think of more but I am going to end it there for now. Maybe I will do a follow up on it, maybe I won't. But I hope you guys liked it and I would love to know 1 of your goals this Autumn so let me know in a comment if you would like to. :)

Perfect Pink Pout.

Hey guys, I'm here today to show you my new favourite lip combo using two products from Kiko cosmetics. I've had these two products for a few months now but always sticking to a 'nude' lip I never really reached for them, until the other day when I was wearing a lot of black (black midi skirt & top from H&M and a black blazer) and I needed to find a way to add a bit of colour. Looking through my makeup draw whilst doing my makeup, this pink lip liner from Kiko caught my eye, it's such a gorgeous bright pink and is the smoothest and easiest lip liner to put on, it just glides on your lip. It is in the shade 612, unfortunately Kiko don't put names on their products, they only do it online and when I look on their website this one is sold out, so don't have the name for it. I bought this in the sale for under 2 euros which was a bargain and it's the glossiest lip liner I have ever tried hence the name of it 'Ultra glossy lip pencil'. I then remembered buying a bright pink lipstick from the shop to go with the lip liner. It's one of their Crystal Sheer - Glossy Lipsticks in the shade 417 - Bright Pink (the name says it all haha). What I like about this lipstick, as you can tell by the name that it's quite sheer, it still is quite bright but not as bold as a 'non-sheer' one would be, which is great for me as I often try and stay away from big bold, bright lips as I feel like it doesn't really suit me. So if looking to try out a nice bright red or pink but still don't feel 100% confident about it I definitely recommend looking at the Crystal Sheer-Glossy Lipstick range from Kiko. I live in France but if I remember correctly there is only a Kiko in London but you can order offline. I was lucky that last year when I was at my old apartment, I had a kiko literally right across the road, I always used to pop in there on my way to do the food shopping and sneak back in with a bag full of makeup making sure my boyfriend doesn't see haha, even though I used to spend ages in there and would always guess that I went into Kiko as I took so long. Guess I wasn't that sneaky! What I also love about this lipstick is the packaging. The packaging is cute and shiny, but what is more intriguing is the way you open it. To get the lipstick out you have to push the top or the lipstick and it will pop out underneath, I might just be weird but I love it so much haha, I just find that it's a different and cool way to open the product. I don't know if any other lipsticks have this but this is definitely the first I have seen with it.

I will insert a couple of photos of me wearing this lip colour down below. Again, sorry for the terrible quality of the photos but still no camera as I have just been too busy with getting ready to move out.
