9. W7 Candy Floss Brightning Face Powder- around £2-4, £3.10 here on amazon

Skincare

Tea tree toner water- I have been loving my tea tree water from Lush which I have recently rediscovered. I love how refreshing it feels to spritz it on the face, it's perfect for the summer in hot weather (if we ever get any here in England xD). It's also brillian for my oily skin as it makes my skin feel more fresh and balanced. I use as a toner in the morning after cleansing and spritz on my face throughout the day- whenever I feel like treating my skin ^^

L'oreal Micellar Solution- This stuff is just brilliant! It removes my makeup brilliantly and is so gentle on the skin, it literally feels like water. You can check my full review of it here.

Makeup

W7 Candy Floss- Oh my this stuff is gorgeous! I love to dust it on my cheekbones to give my face a pop of colour, it makes my complexion look so much more bright and lively. I'll probably do a full review of this soon, stay tuned ^^

MUA blush- This is another rediscovery. A lovely deep peach powder blush which provides great pigmentation which lasts all day. I have been loving this colour for spring :)

MUA highlighting powder- I literally bought this yesterday and I already love it. Review coming soon, spoiler- it's amazing (as if you didn't know that already :3)

Swatches

L to R- W7 Candy Floss, MUA blush, MUA highlighting powder

Lipstick

Out of focus xD Sorry

Collection Cream Puff- This is such a lovely spring colour, a stunning pink-coral shade, which is another of my rediscoveries. The formulation is like nothing I've ever come across before, it's so soft and creamy, it glides on the lips with ease and feels so velvety with a nice matte finish. An absolute winner.

Avon Frozen Rose- And yet another rediscovery. This is a beautiful pink shade with gold shimmer running through it, a lot more gorgeous than it sounds.

Swatches

L to R- Collection Cream Puff, Avon Frozen Rose

General

Paramore- I am absolutely loving this new sound. Yes, the sound is different but I welcome their change, every band must progress right? Pararmoe- rock on.

Paul Smith "Floral"- This is the perfume my parents got me for prom and I just adore it. It smells so fresh and pretty, it's literally spring in a bottle (the best description EVER).

And that's it ^^

I hope you had an awesome april and an even better may.

Good luck to anyone who has exams coming up!

Lots of love, Laura xx

A little (rather large :L) wish list!

Hey everyone! This is my first "wish list" post on my blog. I was inspired by the posts that Sophie does on her blog, it's such a cute idea and it always looks really funky when she does it ^^.

The things on my list are-

1. Smashbox Halo Blush in shade "In Bloom"- The idea of these blushes/powders are so nifty (with the whole grinder function). The shade "In Bloom" is a gorgeous peachy pink that would be perfect for spring. They retail at around £23, which is WAY out of my price range...but I can dream right?

2. MAC Creme in your Coffee Lipstick- I have wanted this shade for SO LONGGGGGGG. It's the perfect pink/brown shade lippie which is a colour I adore! I want it so much D':

3. Benefit Watts Up Soft Focus Highlighter- I love me a nice cream highlighter. This seems so lovely, I love the packaging and the golden colour would look great on my yellow toned skin ^^ It's £24.50 so again, WAY out of my price range...but OH WELL (Anyone love me enough to buy me one? I'll pay you with love and cookies :3)

4. Real Techniques Core Collection- Another one of the products I've wanted for ages. The brushes look so perfect! I'll probably ask for these for my birthday xD Everyone and their mother's cat seems to love them

5. Paramore's new album, "Paramore"- I have been a fan of this band since their "All we know is falling" days and this album seems incredible (what I've heard so far). It's quite different to their usual stuff, which a lot of fans are annoyed about, but I always love to see bands evolve ^^ Plus, hopefully, this means a new tour! :D

6. Lush Big shampoo- I have really limp and flat hair and have heard a lot about how samazing this is at volumising hair. I keep looking at it when I go into Lush but I can never quite bring myself to get it. £11.25 seems like a lot, but apparently it lasts ages.

7. Sleek Blush in 3 in Lace- I saw this in Nikki Phillippi's beauty favourites on Fleur's latest video on youtube (here). The colours look absolutely stunning! Sleek is such good quality and for £10 it's a steal!

8. L'oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Excess mascara- This is DEFINITELY going to be my next mascara purchase. It gives amazing length and definition which is what I always look for in a mascara ^^

That's it! I hope you enjoyed this post.

What are you lusting over?

Lots of love, Laura

P.S. I'm visiting my mum in Cardiff for a few days so I may not be able to post much in that time. See you soon ^^ x
