Monday Manicure #01 (Just a day late) barry m | beauty | blue grape | gelly | monday manicure | nails | whenflowersfall

Gone are the gels that appeared on the blog a little while back. Unfortunately they started peeling a couple of days ago, so I took matters into my own hands last night, had a long bath and took on the challenge of removing them.
Replacing them is a polish I picked up a week or so ago,
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Blue Grape.
This is the first colour in my collection like this, and I have to admit, I am loving it!

Wednesday Wishlist barrym | beauty | blogger | cosmetics | gelly | lime crime | mac | makeup | nars | obessive compulsive | occ | wednesday wishlist | whenflowersfall

Lime Crime - Contessa Florencent, Chinchilla & Poisonberry // OCC lip tar - Digitalis & Grandma

MAC Temperature Rising Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder // NARS Laguna

Viva Glam Nicki 2 Lipstick // Barry M Gelly Polish - Papaya & Key Lime

Barry M Sequin Polish - Pink // Barry M Texture Polish - Atlantic Road

Just a few items I'm lusting over at the minute. 

I'm always wanting to add to my Barry M nail paint collection, so there's just a few shades above that I don't already have. 

I'm also going a little mad for lip products at the moment, and I haven't yet been lucky enough to get my hands on any OCC or Lime Crime lovelies. Also, something that as a beauty blogger, I feel ashamed to say, is  that I don't actually own any MAC or NARS products!! Shock horror! 

I've never really felt the urge, but recently I just want it all. 

I guess, luckily I have no money to buy any of these things, but that isn't something new. Maybe I should called these Wednesday posts 'stuff I want, but cannot afford. Ever.'

Forever wishing I could find a job that would work for me and my anxiety.

Nails L-R 1//2//3//4

Hey beauties, 

This post was meant to go live yesterday, but I'm guessing blogger didn't like me so it's going up today instead. (It's not quite a Wednesday wishlist now.)

After my little shopping trip at the weekend, I've found myself with the shopping bug. I'm trying ever so hard not to spend any more money until next month, but these are just a few of the things I'm wishing I had picked up already. 

I'm finding myself a little addicted to nail polish at the moment. Barry M is my all time favourite, so that is usually the first place I head to. The new Gelly and texture polishes are a definite must for this summer. 

Other than nails, you already know how much of a lips freak I am. I'm always adding to my lips wishlist, and these are just a few that I've been wanting this week. I'm loving the new purple Topshop lipstick and the MAC Viva Glam Nicki 2. So perfect for Summer. 

What are you lusting over at the moment?

January Beauty Wishlist barry m | beauty | blogger | botanics | color tattoo | fall | flowers | gelly | january | kate moss | la roche-posay | lipsticks | maybelline | nails | polish | rimmel | when | whenflowersfall | wishlist

It's been a little while since I last did a wishlist post, and seeing as I have made a few pennies today, I figured, why not do one. 

Believe me, these pennies are burning a lovely big hole in my pocket, but due to my car tax being due next month, these items will just have to stay on my wishlist a little longer. 

La Roche-Posay Micellar Solution - I recently saw Rachel 'Notes from my closet' talk about this product in a recent video, and I have to admit, she completely sold it to me. I'm coming to the end of my trusty cleanser and I think it may be time to try something new. I've heard so many good things about La roche-posay products recently, that now I just can't stop browsing online.

Botanics Face Brush - Another blogger/youtuber is the reason I now want this. Zoe (Zoella) recently showed in a haul that she had bought this. I've always been one to use a face cloth when removing my make up in the evening, but recently I've been craving for a clarisonic, or something of that sort. I just can't talk myself into spending that kind of money on something I wash my face with. So this is a great alternative. Yes it's manual and you have to do some of the work, but it pretty much works the same way.

Barry M Gelly Polishes - If you know me, then you will know that I love my Barry M nail polishes. So far, I only have one colour from the Gelly range, and I really think it's time to start adding some more Spring/Summery colours to my collection. (Getting too ahead of myself?) At the moment I'm lusting after Grapefruit, Pickly Pear and Blueberry. (L-R)

Kate Moss Lipsticks - Another range that I'm currently obsessed with, is the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks. I currently have four other colours and as with the nail polishes, I'm dying to pick up a few more shades. Right now, I'm wanting matte shade Beige and also shade 20.

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoos - The last product I'd like to expand my collection of is the best (in my opinion) eyeshadow bases/cream eyeshadows of last year. Permanent Taupe is one of those shades that everyone talks about, I just haven't come across it in a store yet. Endless Purple is just a gorgeous colour and I think it would be perfect for the Summer. 

As much as I love all of the snow that we're having at the moment, I think I'm over the Winter trends, make -up wise. I'm definitely ready for some bright girly colours and clear skin.

Wishlist - Winter Nail Polishes bahama mama | barry m | blackberry | chinchilly | essie | fishnet stockings | gelly | licorice | luxedo | mignight cami | mushroom | nail | polish | prickly pear | varnish | watermelon | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | wishlist

Top L to R - Bahama Mama, Luxedo (the photo saved totally different to the one on site??), Fishnet Stockings , Licorice, Midnight Cami

Bottom L to R - Chinchilly, Prickly Pear, Watermelon, Blackberry, Mushroom

This winter I'm craving some new polishes to add to my collection. I seem to own a lot of summery, girly shades, but not so many that are suitable for the Winter trends. 

At the moment I am adoring anything that's dark berry coloured or nude. I also noticed that I have barely any greens or blues in my collection and I think the new Barry M Gelly shades are perfect! 

Essie and Barry M are my two favourite polish brands. Even though the price difference between the two are quite large per bottle, I feel the quality is equally as good! I'm sure if I was to look around some more, I would find several other polishes I would want, but I figured I would stick to what I know. 

Hopefully I can add a few of these in the next couple of months. My hands are just dying for some dark, vampy tips!
