My Beauty Wish List // Collab


Hey Everyone so today I have one of my favourite posts for you, it's a beauty wishlist! I love reading and writing these sorts of posts so I'm super excited to be writing this. Today's blog post is a collab with the lovely Floral Girl from http://www.floralgxrlx.blogspot.co.uk/ she only recently re-launched her blog and she will be posting her beauty wishlist at some point today; so go and read her post after you have read mine. On my beauty wishlist there are 10 items that come to just over £120.
 

Porefessional - I've never used a primer before and everybody raves about this one so I'm desperate to try it. When I wear makeup I only wear light makeup so I think a primer would be really good to help my makeup last all day. I like the fact that this primer has a colour in it so it is almost like a BB cream or foundation. This primer is quite expensive at £24.50 so I think to start off with I would buy a mini version.

Real Techniques expert face brush - I'm still yet to own a real techniques brush and I've wanted one for ages (I'm going to be saying this a lot in this post)! I think the brush I want is the expert face brush because it looks very versatile and I like the shape of the brush. This brush costs £9.99, but everyone raves about real techniques so I think it would be worth the price.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - I really want to get this concealer because it has a good coverage so I think it would be good for me on those days when I want to wear a little bit of make-up but I don't want to wear a BB cream or foundation. This concealer costs £4.19 and I have looked for it a couple of times but they have never had my shade in stock.

Lush Herbalism Fresh Cleanser - I recently tried Lush's angels on bare skin cleanser and I love it, so I really want to try another one of Lush's cleansers and Herbalism looks divine! It includes nettles, rosemary and rice bran vinegar which give it its gorgeous green colour. I can only imagine how good it smells and it costs £6.75 which I don't think is bad considering how long lush cleansers last.

Essie Nail Varnish - Being a big fan on nail varnish I'm desperate to get my hands on an Essie and the one pictured above in the colour play date is absolutely gorgeous. Essie nail varnishes are quite expensive at £7.99 but on fragrance direct they have a collection of about will probably be buying my first Essie polish from there.I really want an Essie varnish because  the size of the brushes  are perfect and the varnishes have a good consistency.

Bene balm - One of my friends recently bough this and she loves it which has made me really want to get it. I really like lip productsa that are moisturisibg but give you a bit of colour at the samr time. This is why I love the Baby lips range and why I think I would like bene balm. It is quite expensive at £14.50 but it does come with a lot of product and the saying goes: you get what you pay for.

Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer - When I recently bought a cheap bronzer and tried contoring I really liked it but then i managed to drop my bronzer and ruin it. So im after a new bronzer and the bourjois choclate bronzer is 'the drugstore bronzer to get'. It costs £7.99 but everyone says that it is really pigmented and it smells of choclate! I believe for a chocolate scented bronzer £7.99 isnt bad at all.

A mac lipstick - Although I am a big fan of tinted lip balms Im also a fan of lipsticks (if they're good ones). Mac lipsticks are very expensive at £15.50 but they're of a very high quality. However there is such a big collection that I wouldn't know which to choose. Some colours I do like are; creme cup, velvet teddy, twig and other pastel/nude pinks.

No7 Exfoliator Brush - This face brush is definitely going on my birthday wish list! It costs just under £30 but its not the sort of thing that you would have to frequently replace. I unfortunately do get a lot of blackheads and I believe that getting an Exfoliator brush is probably the best way to reduce and clear my skin of blackheads.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - The last thing on my beauty wishlist is the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. Like concealers when I have bought powders I have only ever purchased dirt cheap ones, which break after a day. So I really want to get this powder because although it is still very cheap at £3.99 everyone raves about the quality of it so I feel as if it would last a long time.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this post, I'm sorry if I went on a bit I just get so into these sort of posts! If you are interested in doing a blog collab the best way to contact me would be either direct messaging me on instagram @w.onderful or emailing me ellajennings03@yahoo.co.uk.

Thank you for reading, see you next time!

Fashion Q&A ♥ // Collab with Bluebell Bunting ☜

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are still enjoying the holidays and I hope the weather is good where you are. On Monday I went round to one of my best friends Saffies (from Bluebell Bunting) and we decided to do a blog collab. On my blog we answered 10 fashion questions and on Saffie's blog we answered 10 interior and stationery questions. So after you have read this post be sure to check out Saffie's fab blog. So here is the Q&A...

Put these in order of preference: Primark, New Look, Topshop, Ark or H&M? 

Ella - Primark, H&M, Ark, New Look and then Topshop. 

Saff - New Look, H&M, Primark, Ark, Topshop

 You're on a desert island and you are only allowed 3 items of clothing what would they be?

Ella - Swimming Costume, Floral skirt and a big baggy t-shirt.

Saff - Swimming Costume, Pyjamas, Playsuit 

Favourite style of shoe?

Ella -Either my vans or my (fake) timberlands; they are comfy and can be worn with everything.

Saff - Ankle boots - I have a pair (from H&M) and they are so comfy and good for events from shopping to dog walking!

Clothing item you wear all the time?

Ella - I practically live in jeans and plain white tops, simple, comfy and good for any occasion.

Saff - Definetly jeggings (leggings/jeans)! - the only things I wear other than jeggings are tights or socks (with a skirt or short, obviously!;))

What colour is your wardrobe?

Ella - Blue, I love blue and I wear it all the time! I also have blue eyes do I think blue suits me. 

Saff - Mostly, grey. It may seem quite dull but I love grey and I think it suits me. Also, it's a great colour to wear all year round. If you look in my wardrobe you'll find a grey hoodie, a grey skirt, grey tights, grey socks, grey dress and grey cardigan. Oh and not forgetting my grey turtleneck! (I love it!) 

Shorts or skirt?

Ella - Hmm, shorts are very comfy but I own more skirts and I think my skirts are cuter. And you all know how I feel about cute patterned skirts!

Saff - I really can't choose l, I'm sorry. I like them equally! Skirts are great as they're cute and flowy but shorts are also great for more active events such as trampolining! 

Most expensive item of clothing you own?

Ella - probably my Hollister jogging bottoms, they're grey with pink writing and they are unbeliveably comfy.

Saff - a grey O'neill dress that I got to wear with, well... anything! 

Most daring fashion purchase?

Ella - I don't think I have any because I'm not very daring when it comes to fashion!

Saff - That would have to be my baby laced detailed Hollister Bralette! It sounds very daring but I do wear it with long skirts so don't worry!

What are you wearing right now?

Ella - a plain white top and denim shorts.

Saff - light blue jeggings, a 3/4 length sleeved white top with navy around the bottom and grey sleeves with red round the bottom.


Socks - yay or nay?

Ella - I always wear trainer socks and I adore socks with frills.

Saff -Yay?! All socks are comfy! ... When you're not a strange eight year old kid (like I was) who only likes to wear knee high socks! 


I hope you enjoyed this little get to know me post. See you all soon,

~Ella~
