Wednesday Wishlist | Spring Beauty 2016

Wednesday Wishlist | Beauty Spring 2016 by nancycamp1 featuring a liquid eyeliner

Happy Wednesday guys!

I hope you all had fabulous Bank Holiday weekends, now for a four day week...woo.

It's Wednesday Wishlist time again, this week is Spring beauty themed. This is my favourite time of year and always a good season to update your make-up collection with bright shades of blushers and shadows.

 I have been lusting after all of these items for while and sadly some of them are only available in the US thanks to Sephora. But luckily, I have a work friend coming back from the US and bringing me a few bits. So for the first time, I might actually own some of these products!

The first thing is the Too Faced Sweetheart Blush, in Sparkling Bellini, which I'm very excited for. It's the perfect blush for Spring and Summer in the beautiful coral shade.This gorgeous new range has sold so well in the US but it's almost impossible to get over here as they only sell it online at Debenhams.  Also, in the same range, The Sweet Peach Palette, has sold out everywhere and only now available on eBay and Amazon at an exceptional price. So this one is definitely going to remain on my Wishlist for the foreseeable future.

Of course the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit is at the top of my list but another hard-to-get product. They sell out almost immediately online making it almost impossible to own. Dolce K has to be my favourite, I'm a sucker for pinky nudes.

I've been looking to buy a foundation more suitable for Spring and I have read such great things about the Charlotte Tilbury, Magic Foundation, from coverage to the 'dewy' glow it gives.

What's on your wishlist?

Beauty | Gwen Stefani Urban Decay Palette Review and Swatches

This week my make-up addiction reached an all-time high. I was the 2^nd person in the UK to buy the Gwen Stefani palette for Urban Decay – which went on sale in stores on November 25.

I was so excited to try Urban Decay’s newest addition as they are such a staple in my everyday make-up routine. I think out of all of the Naked Palettes my favourite has to be number three as they offer such a wide variety of pinky/nude matte and shimmer shades. 

When I heard about the release of Gwen’s palette, I signed up to the online waiting list and rung the store to reserve one for when the delivery came in. When I went to collect it from Urban Decay Covent Garden it felt like Christmas had come early and hearing that I was 2^nd in line was even more exciting.

Before pictures were released of the palette, I thought there would more of a variety of shocking shades because of Gwen’s quirky sense of style, but surprisingly, the only shade I wouldn’t wear would be ‘Danger,’ as I’ve never worn a shades of blue and don’t plan on starting now!

 I have to say, I absolutely love this packaging and as Gwen designed every aspect of this palette, I didn't expect anything less. It's a great size too, not too big or bulky for travelling or carrying in your bag like most palettes. 

Tucked inside the box were also four testers of Gwen's lipstick for Urban Decay, I'm really excited to try these.

Here are some swatches from my favourite shades, I love how pigmented they are.  I think one colour I'm going to use most is 'Pop' as I love a champagne/pinky shimmer shade for a base colour. I'll definitely get lots of use out of that. 

I'm so excited to experiment with the different colours this holiday season, I can see '1987' being very popular with the upcoming Christmas festivities. 

Is the Gwen Stefani palette on your Christmas list? If so, what's your favourite shade?
