Current Wish List Items...

Hi everyone! I must apologize for having neglected my blog for so long. I truly regret having to do so.

I stopped feeling motivated to blog and make videos when things got really stressful at school. I had no time to watch youtube videos and am literally just now catching up with all of my favorite gurus.

I've also been quite enamored with the blog "Into the Gloss". It is a wonderful beauty blog. Check it out if you haven't.

Anyway -- the process of getting my feet wet in the blog/youtube world again has led me to form quite an extensive wish list. I've managed to narrow it down to the items that have garnered the best reviews from my most trusted sources.

Christiana from cosmeticjunkie17, one of my best friends on youtube, tagged me to do a wishlist video a LONG time ago and ( though this sounds crazy) it actually did take me this long to formulate a list of items that I genuinely think would be worth the money!

Here it goes:

1.  Embryolisse


     This product supposedly is great for dry, parched skin like mine. It's constantly mentioned as a must-have by the pixiwoo sisters and some other fabulous women featured on ITTG. Embryolisse is one hyped up face cream that I really want to try out.


2. Bioderma makeup remover


This product comes recommended by pixi2woo. What more can I say? She could honestly probably sell me an empty gum wrapper if that was her goal. Jokes aside, this makeup remover has glowing reviews all over the internet. My biggest pet peeve is not getting all of my makeup off -- especially mascara! I really hate having to scrub my eyes to get rid of it. It feels terrible and causes eyelashes to fall out prematurely. This is a lovely french makeup remover that promises to thoroughly remove all of your makeup -- what more could you ask for?


3. Liz Earle Hot Cloth cleanser


This gorgeous sounding cleanser has eucalyptus, rosemary, and chamomile essential oils in it -- along with plenty of cocoa butter (great skin conditioner), plant-derived glycerin (for retaining moisture), and beeswax. According to Tanya, it "melts" away all traces of makeup and exfoliates beautifully with the accompanying muslin cloth. *Swoon*  I have a problem, haha.


4. Moroccan Oil.


I'm obsessed with hair care all of a sudden and I've heard a lot of hype about this oil. I remain a bit skeptical of its magical conditioning properties, though I would really like to try it anyway!
5.  Molton Brown Warming Eucalyptus bath and shower therapy


I love the smell of Eucalyptus and I love the unnatural green color of this beautiful shower gel. Though I am pretty sure I wont shell out nearly $30 for it anytime soon. ;) Sometimes it's more fun to want something than it is to actually get it anyway.
6. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
So one of my favorite foundations of all time, Chanel Pro Lumiere, recently got discontinued and I am at a loss. I plan on buying this someday when my Pro runs out (it's getting used up way too quickly) and I'm crossing my fingers that it will  deliver similar results. 

7. Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco shampoo & conditioner
I used the Creme de Coco shampoo and conditioner before and really loved them. They do a great job conditioning my dry hair. They also smell delicious!
8. Boots No. 7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 wipes
I seriously need some new makeup wipes. I've been staying overnight at other people's houses lately and it's really frustrating to not have a pack of these in my purse. I've heard wonderful things about the boots makeup wipes and seriously need some ASAP.




Well, that's all for this post! I hope you all are enjoying yourselves.
