A Current Wishlist!

Bonjour!

This wishlist thing - it's an ongoing and somewhat dangerous affair isn't it? Mine is as long as the Great Wall of China but I've tried to narrow it down a little, as you do ;)

Hats - after reading Sharron's (Style At Every Age) post here I think I could do with a new hat to protect my kite and my newly coloured barnet! Was thinking of a trilby but I'm also liking this bright floppy number!
Shoes - I'm blaming my daughter for the Vans - she's kept on and on about wanting a pair and now I want a pair - plain black with a chunky sole, that'll do me!
Brows - currently obsessed with all things 'brows'! Desperately want to try the Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade, reckon it'll be the perfect Summer brow product as once it's on it's on - no more melting brows! Unfortunately there's a pigging waiting list for Dark Brown - for crying out loud! Also need an angled brush to apply it - shame it doesn't come with one!
Nails - mine have been splitting vertically so a couple of bits I'm hoping will help OPI Nail Envy and the Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File please!
Hair - a couple of weeks ago my hairdresser wacked a bit of the Color Wow Root Cover Up on my random greys which pop up all over the place and as if by magic they temporarily disappeared! Then Nic from Strawberry Blonde Beauty Blog raved about the Color Wow One Minute Transformation Styling Cream here - it sounds ideal for my summer frizzies! It must be a sign that a travel size of the Styling Cream is included with a Color Wow purchase from Feel Unique (with free delivery too!) - a sign I tell you!
Blushers - I wouldn't sneeze at either of these two beauties, my brother toured round the USA recently with Boy George (yep it's alright for some isn't it!) and I nearly asked him to pick me up a Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush (but obviously didn't in the end - stupid me!) - also loving the sound of this Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush which gives a 'luminous, lit from within' look - I'll have some of that please!

So that's my lot for the moment - I'll have to continue working overtime at this rate! Have you used any of these beauty products? What's on your current wishlist?

Or should I say what 'isn't' on your current wishlist?

Mellow Yellow Fever ...!

Bonjour!

Hope everyone is having a good Easter weekend!  The recent good weather has made me think of 'sunny' things so thought I'd attempt to inject a bit of 'sunny' into my 'virtual wardrobe' since I'm still immersed - for the most part - in darker colours.  I do love a bit of mellow yellow now and then - my mum loves bright warm colours and tells me I don't wear them often enough - she also says it's nice to see me out of my jeans so there ain't a pair of jeans in sight Mum! I honestly had trouble narrowing it down to just these three outfits once I got going ... you know what it's like when you start mooching about on Polyvore and just get sucked in ...?!

Typically the weather seems to have reverted back to cold and grey for the moment so no chance of wearing anything like this lot in the near future with my orange lippie - we can dream eh?  I think my favourite is the middle dress - love it with the trainers - cos that's just how I roll! I've not included masses of accessories on this occasion as I can't cope with 'too much going on' - and anyway I'd have been at it all day and there is a large joint of beef in the oven that needs my attention!

Do you like a bit of 'yellow'?  Which is your favourite look?

Birthday Wishlist!

Bonjour!

Bit of a hint in the post title there ... yes my birthday is on the horizon - not so exciting an event when you're getting on! Still - always room for some sort of wishlist whatever your age eh?  I've never done a 'wishlist' post since I started blogging but I've recently discovered Polyvore - it's a bit addictive - like Pringles - once you pop you can't stop and all ... I've definitely popped ...!

Quick blurb on the products then kicking off with the Philip Kingsley Exfoliating Scalp Mask, must try this -after all good hair begins with a good scalp right? Had to restrain myself on the make-up front (obviously) or there would have been tenfold blushers on here, but how cute is the Cargo blush - there are several different 'beach based 'options and who knows I may even try a couple! Been wanting a pair of Dr M's for ages and I reckon I can get away with these ... probably not the ideal footwear to wear for the school run though unless I give myself ample time to do the laces up!  I only possess one MAC lippie (in Chilli which I still have to review) - I think it's time for another, preferably bright and matte - hence Lady Danger. Can't wait to shed my duffle coat and get Spring started, love this teal blazer!  Also need a new handbag - something like this would be ideal, roomy enough for my kitchen sink! Last but not least, I tried a sample of the Liz Earle Botanical Essence No15 and I was addicted - gorgeous!

So that's the list -will keep you posted if I end up with any of this lovely lot!

What's on your current wishlist?
