Autumn Wishlist ... !

Bonjour!

We've been lucky with this recent 'Indian Summer type thing' haven't we?  It definitely feels colder and crisper these past few days though and the timer is now preset for the heating to come on for a few hours each evening!  Anyway ... here are a few bits and bobs I have my eyes on  ... I realise there are no chunky knits, scarves, coats within this list but that'll come later on I'm sure ...!

Autumn Wishlist! by beautyandthebiryani featuring a smashbox lipstick

Paul Mitchell Thicken Up - ok I realise this has nothing specifically to do with Autumn as such but I feel the need to try this out - not that I need any more hair products at the moment - but all the same - it could be 'the one!' 

Office Cutout T Bars - I'd like these primarily for work - will go with my usual black trousers and maybe even a skirt or two!

Top Shop Cigarette Pants - speaking of  'black trousers' - really need a new pair for work and Top Shop trousers usually fit me quite well so will have to pop in next week and check these out!

Cloud Nine Standard Iron - been 'umming and arring' over some new straighteners for ages. If I end up with these I'll be doing a little dance!

The Doors 'LA Woman' T Shirt - I must have this T Shirt - not this particular one as it's Vintage 1970s (and therefore very expensive) - mine will be a much more purse friendly option!

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Chestnut - everyone needs (read that as 'should treat themselves to') a new lippie in Autumn - and what could be more fitting than a lippie by the name of Chestnut!

Urban Decay Anti-Ageing Eyeshadow Primer - I'd say this is actually more of a need rather than want. My current Elf Eyelid Primer is ok ...but I'm curious to see how much better my eyeshadow would sit and last using legendary UD. The old eyelids are getting a bit crinkled and wrinkled so this anti-ageing option seems a good choice!

Chunky Black Boots - I have no need for these beauties at all but I bloomin love em! I'd wear with skinnies and my Doors TShirt (and the Smashbox lippie) - if I had some sort of furry jacket to stick over the top then that would be marvellous! I'll save that for my next Wishlist!

So ... that's my lot for the moment ...you can go on forever once you start can't you?! What's on your Autumn wishlist?

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 ;)

A Current Wishlist! by beautyandthebiryani featuring black shoes

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?
