I've done quite a few wish lists on this blog. My Beauty Product Wishlist, My Drugstore Wishlist, & My Lip Product Wishlist to name just a few. Today I'm going to share with you the top 10-15 products that are next on my list to buy! I'll be mentioning products from all of my wishlists so you can check them all out here.

My Beauty Product Wish List 2 | ft Too Faced, Tarte, NYX, ABH, MAC, Nars, Kat Von D, & More!

Back in February of this year I posted My Beauty Product wish list. That post was my 100th post! I can't believe this is my 210th blog post and my 126th post of 2017!

In that post I shared with you all some of the products I was dying to get my hands on. I only crossed off one of the products on that list. Real Techniques 6 piece sponge set. 

I also made a list of Lippies I am drying to try! This was a huge list of lippies I don't need but I desperately want. I haven't crossed anything off of that one yet. 

Even though I only crossed off one item of one list that doesn't stop my list from growing. I've nearly doubled it since the last post. So I thought I'd post a part 2 with all the new products I'm lusting after before the list gets too big.

Swatching Every Lipstick I Own | Part 1

I am so excited about this project! I decided to swatch every lip product I own! I love lip products and I love swatching them. So I decided to swatch all of them in one series! Classic lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, lip liners, chubby crayons. Every lip product in my lippie box!

Product VS - Bronzers

Last week I told you about my favorite bronzers. Today I thought I'd put all the bronzers I own head to head to see which one is the best. I currently own 5 bronzers but only put 4 in the favorites post.

I love the bronzers from my favorites post but there has to be one that is better than the best right? So which bronzer is the best? Urban Decay Beached Bronzer, Benefit Hoola Bronzer, Lorac Matte Bronzer, NYX Matte Bronzer or Rimmel London Natural Bronzer?

Urban Decay Beached Bronzer in Bronzed | Review + Swatches

Urban Decay Beached Bronzer

"There’s nothing sexier than bronzy, glowing skin—sans the sun damage, of course. When you get the look right, it’s SO right. But get it wrong, and you risk looking like you had a run-in with an Oompa-Loompa (not pretty). Nail the golden goddess look every time with Beached Bronzer. 

Dust this silky powder on your face or all over your whole body—and look like you spent a week hanging out on the sunny beaches of Fiji (rather than in a drab, windowless office). 

Our finely milled, super-soft formula applies smoothly, doesn’t streak, and creates a radiant glow that won’t quit. Get Beached (not burned); these universally flattering matte shades provide sheer, natural-looking coverage every time. 

If you swore off powder bronzers because they always felt dry and applied unevenly, you’ll be blown away by how different Beached Bronzer is. Wende loves to use this formula after contouring to make her skin look less flat and more dimensional. Finely milling the powder gives it an ultra creamy texture that feels amazing on your skin, while HPP (Highlighter Performing Pigments) Technology provides rich color, long-lasting elements and the perfect level of coverage. And wait until you see how easy it is to use! 

One glance at the artwork on our Beached Bronzer compact, and you’ll feel instantly transported to a tropical island. (Picture yourself on the sand gazing up at palm trees, and you’ll get the idea.) We even included a full-size mirror—perfect for applying on the go."

This bronzer is available for $28 at Ulta, Sephora and urbandecay.com

Here is my experience with the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer.

Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks | Review + Swatches

Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks

"The pigment load in Vice Lipstick is insane! Just one swipe provides an unbelievable laydown of color. And every shade applies smoothly (without dragging or skipping), hugs lips, and feels amazing! Our proprietary Pigment Infusion System™ gives the formula its super-creamy texture, rich payout and superior color dispersion."
-Snippet from Urban Decay's Product Description

So Urban promised that these lipsticks will have great pigment, a super-creamy smooth texture. 

The creamy formula is also "loaded with nourishing ingredients. A yummy butter blend comforts, hydrates and enhances, leaving lips soft and conditioned, never dry. Aloe Vera, jojoba, avocado and babassu oils nourish and soften lips. illipe butter (derived from Malaysian illipe trees) provides long-lasting moisture. And Vitamin C and vitamin E provide a hit of antioxidants."

There are 101 shades and 6 finishes. The shades range from pinks to nudes to reds to dark berries and everything in between.

The 6 finishes are Mega Matte: super-intense matte, Comfort Matte: our creamiest matte, Cream: the original, creamy, badass luxury, Metallized: cream with a high level of pearl, Sheer: a punch of color with a sheer, shiny finish, and Sheer Shimmer: slightly transparent finish with floating pearl and a smooth texture. 

Today I will only be reviewing the Mega Matte, Comfort Matte and Cream. I prefer Matte so I doubt I'll ever get the Metallized, Sheer or Sheer Shimmer.

Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks are available for $17 each in the US at Ulta, and Sephora. If you are in the UK they are available for £15.50 at Debenhams. You can also find them for $17 on urbandecay.com or find a store near you on UD's Store Locator.

Here is my experience with the Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks.

Products I Will Aways Re-Purchase

I've seen this floating around recently and really love the idea! There are quite a few products I adore and will always keep in my collection so I thought I'd tell you about some of them.

What's in My Makeup Bag - February 2017 | My Current Makeup Favorites

I realized today that I have never done a regular What's in My Makeup Bag. I've only done a school edition and that was in 2015.

I've never done a post about my current makeup. I thought that today I should change that. So I decided that today I'd show you guys what products I'm currently loving.

This might be a long one so grab a cup of tea and settle in. All the products mentioned will be listed at the bottom of the posts.

My Beauty Product Wish List | ft LORAC, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Too Faced, Benefit +More!

Before we start I'd just like to say that this is my 100th blog post! I can't believe I've done so many! It seems like I wrote that first post not so long ago but it has been a year and 9 months. I'm so happy to have hit 100 posts! Here's to the new 100! Now on to your regularly scheduled post.

I thought it was about time I did a post about products I'm dying to try. Everyone who loves makeup and beauty products has a wish list. My list is insanely long. I'd buy all of Ulta and Sephora if I could.

Today I'm going to list some of my most wanted products. I products I need in my life. I'm limiting this list about 30 products as if I don't limit it this post would be insanely long. I still think that is insane amount but It's the shortest list I could come up with.

All products will be listed and linked at the bottom of this post.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette | Review + Swatches

Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette

This palette is Urban Decay's first matte palette. Urban Decay describes the six shadows as smooth, velvety, suede-like feel with a luxe finish that never looks chalky or powdery. Urban Decay says these shadows have "color that stays on your lids." 

"While this palette is small, we loaded it with full-size shadow pans, just like our other Naked palettes. Every shade features our Pigment Infusion System™, a vehicle for color that holds tightly to pigment and gives the formula its glide. The proprietary blend of ingredients allows color to weave itself through the Eyeshadow formula. 

What does all that mean? Insane color payout. Color that stays on your lids. Sparkle that doesn’t fall. And velvety, suede-like smoothness and blendability."
- Snippet from Urban Decay's Product Description

The Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette is available for $29 in the US at Ulta, Sephora. If you are in the UK it is available for £23 at Debenhams. You can also find it for $29 on urbandecay.com or find a store near you on UD's Store Locator.

Yearly Favorites | 2016

The time has come. We are almost 2 and half weeks into 2017. I have finally collected all my favorites of 2016 and I'm ready to write my 2016 favorites!

This might be a long one. I have a ton of life favorites and quite a few beauty ones too. This is a whole year of favorites after all. Not just a small amount from just one month.

So here are the things I loved in 2016!

Urban Decay's UD Beauty Junkies Rewards Program

In December I found out that Urban Decay has a rewards program. I was beyond excited. I'm am a member at Ulta and Sephora so I was totally up for joining another program for free!

I've done a post in the past about Ulta and Sephora programs. You might want to check that out if you aren't familiar with their programs. I will probably be referencing their programs a lot in this post. As I will be comparing them a little bit.

Like Ulta and Sephora this rewards program is free to join. You can sign up on UD's website.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil | Review + Swatches

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

Urban Decay describes this eyeliner as creamy, forever-lasting, and waterproof. They say that it is "velvety-soft, and stays soft and creamy for blending (about 30 seconds), then dries down to a long-lasting finish that will not budge."

"Created with 50% moisturizing ingredients suspended in a sophisticated waterproof formula, 24/7 Eye Pencils offer long-lasting color and a dreamy, creamy feel when applied. With Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Cottonseed Oil."

Monthly Favorites | July 2016

I can't believe it's August already. This year is going by in such a blur. I feel like July went by so fast I barely got time to even try things to favorite. This year is going to fast I hope it slows down in the fall months so I can really enjoy it. I may have mentioned it 2 or three times or 100 but I love fall. It's my favorite time of year! It's the perfect time of year. 

OK I'm rambling. Let's get to my favorites.

Monthly Favorites | May 2016

Alright May Favorites! Only 1 month late... Oops. I'm back now and playing some catch up then it's back to my usual upload routine. New post every 4-6 days. Finally!

Well they are already a month late so let's get to my favorite things of May!

I Heart Drugstore Makeup TAG

Today I decided to do another beauty tag blast from the past. The I Heart Drugstore Makeup TAG! Which is a completely true statement.

I know that everyone did this like 2 years ago but it seems like such a fun tag. I’m going to tag the only other person I know that hasn’t done this, my sister.

I’d love to know what your answers are! You can find a copy of the questions in the comments below.

So let’s get started!

My Top 10 Lippies for Christmas - Blogmas Day 6

Hello everyone and welcome to Blogmas day 6! If you’ve been on my blog for a little while then you know I’m all about lippies and I just couldn’t let the festive season go by without doing a post all about my favorite lippies for Christmas. Classic red is probably my favorite lip shade. I love red lips so much!

I decided to come up with 10 of the best Christmas reds. These lippies are a mix of drugstore and high-end brands. These are some of my favorite lippies all year around but they are just perfect for Christmas. Since they are shades for Christmas they are going to be similar. Most of them are classic reds. I just have so many for the different formulas.

My Christmas Essentials - Blogmas Day 5

Welcome to Blogmas Day 5. Day 5 was going to go up yesterday but I was a way from the internet so I had to wait until today to upload. I was going to do DIY cards today but the designs I was going to do just didn’t work. 

So I decided to do My Christmas Essentials. Kind of a mix between What’s in My Christmas Makeup Bag and My Must Haves to Survive the Christmas Season. I love this idea and I’m much more excited to do this post instead of cards. I hope you all enjoy.

Monthly Favorites | November 2015

I can’t believe that November is over! I been feeling festive since the last week of August but I’ve gotten even more excited this month as everyone else is now in the spirit. I decorated my mantle on the first and I would have already had my tree up but I’m still on the search for a small more realistic fake one. Most of the small ones look so fake. Finding a 4-5 foot fake tree that looks more on the real side is actually pretty hard.

Anyway back to my favorite things this month. I didn’t have many beauty faves this month. I’ve been using my usual products that I know well and really love. But I have been loving a ton of random stuff this month. So let’s get started.
