Friday Wish List

What do you lovely people have planned for the weekend? I'm going to spend it totally chilling out before I start my new job on Monday. My flatmates are moving out of our place on Sunday so I'll be helping them and feeling really sad that the end has come (boo!)

I've made a Friday wish list- what do you think? What are you wanting to spend your weekend pennies on?

Top Row:

Cina White Nail Art Pen- I really want a white nail art pen so I can create beautiful polkadot fingernails!

Essie Nail Corrector Pen- To neaten up those silly nail paint mistakes!

Creme de la Mer Treatment Creme Foundation SPF 15- Bound to be shockingly expensive but I dare bet it's beautiful too.

Cocoa Butter Cream Body Scrub- I adore anything coconut-y from The Body Shop.

Liz Earle Cleanser- I'd read so, so, so many good reviews about the Liz Earle stuff that I'm dying to give it a go.

Middle Row:

China Glaze Nail Paints- As with Liz Earle, I don't own anything by China Glaze but these colours look too gorgeous not to try.

Betsey Johnson stud earrings- Who doesn't love a bit of Betsey Johnson? And these bows are too cute for words!

Bottom Row:

Louis Vitton Sarah Wallet- I'm going through a MAJOR Louis Vitton crush right now.

Asos Leopard Print Watch- I love chunky watches and this leopard one is tacky and loud to the extreme!

Fiorucci watch- Loving the quirky pin-up girl and the polkadot strap.

Miss Selfridge spotty bag- So cute and so perfect with floral print dresses.

So there we have it. Shame I don't get paid until the end of the month, eh?

Massage o'clock!

I'm a very lucky girl in the sense that my lovely boyfriend gives the best massages known to man. Every night I stay over, without fail, I'm sent to sleep with a lengthy massage and I always sleep so amazingly as a result.

But rather than use massage oils which I can find to be super greasy, I use (or he uses!) some of my extensive body butter collection. At the moment we have several mini pots from The Body Shop stacked up which are the perfect consistency and feel gorgeous when warmed in the hands.

I always want more, though! So I've made a wish list of my body butter and lotion wants to give me that perfect massage- morning, noon or night!

Top Row:

Cake Beauty Sweet Cheeks Better Bod Rub, £20- I have some lotion by Cake and they really do smell of the perfect vanilla sponge!

YSL Paris Babydoll Moisturising Body Lotion, £24- I admit I only picked this because he calls me babydoll, hehe.

Bliss Lemon & Sage Body Butter, £35- Quite expensive but I think this would be gorgeous on a hot summer night

Green & Spring Relaxing Body Lotion, £22- The perfect way to doze off to sleep, I reckon. And the packaging is gorgeous.

Philosophy Sooth Me Lavender Body Lotion, £17- I love Philosophy and the smell of lavender sends me off into a wonderful deep sleep instantly.

Laura Mercier Creme de Pistache Body Creme, £38- It's my dream to have a bathroom full of Laura Mercier products!

Middle row:

Lush Strawberry Feels Forever Massage Bar, £6.93- I love Lush but have never used one of their massage bars. Any followers have anything good or bad to say about them?

Bottom Row:

Soap and Glory The Daily Smooth, £8- I rarely have a bad word to say about Soap and Glory!

The Body Shop Love etc Body Butter, £12.50- I got the perfume, body lotion and shower gel of this fragrance for my 21st birthday and I adore it. Must add the body butter to my collection!

The Body Shop Raspberry Body Butter, £12.50- A wonderful sweet berry smell with a fab pink colouring to it!

The Body Shop Olive Body Butter, £12.50- This is perhaps my most wanted and I must get round to buying it, although I wish they did it in the smaller £5 pots. It's so fresh!

So, as you can see, The Body Shop is a bigger winner with me. What are your favourite body butters and lotions? And are you as much as a collector as I am with them?

FOTD 2! And my first EVER venture into eyeliner.

Yup, you read it right- I have never worn eyeliner before! I'd love to be able to do little cat flicks and line my eyes with lots of black pencil but it's never been something I thought I'd be particually good at. Lately, however, I've been more eager to try some kohl and liquid liners and was chuffed this morning when I discovered The Body Shop's Eye Definer in shade 01 black (I think this was a freebie with Instyle magazine a while back!)

Only having 10 minutes to do your make-up pre-lecture probably isn't the best time to try something new but, well, sod it! First, I applied a base of Clairns Beauty Balm and added the Avon concealer featured yesterday. Next I applied the mauve shade from the Jemma Kidd Eye Wardrobe Enchanted Summers set all over my eyelids. With a (not so!) steady hand, I applied the liner to lid and then applied one coat of Benefit's Bad Gal. Before leaving the house I applied a little Chanel brozer and a brilliant nude lipgloss from Taxi.

I'm actually really pleased with the result! As much as this isn't a dramatic look, it's quite different for me and I normally focus on my lips.

Do you girls have any tips for applying liner? I'd love to learn more.
