Being a makeup addict but also a student on a budget, I have a constant wishlist of makeup items i want to add to my collection. Here are my top few products that i don't need but definitely want!

The Balm Hot Mama- Shadow & Blush All in One
           
                 Lord & Berry Vogue Matte                                         Lipstick- Cupid     
                                






Illamasqua Vintage Metallix- Embellish




                                        Revlon BB Cream














Anything here that takes your fancy? I may have to treat myself soon!

The second product to be featured in this series is Nars Nico, a 'blusher' which really isn't a blusher but can be used in a multitude of ways; to set, fix and highlight.





In the pan it's a light beige colour, with very and i mean very, small shimmers in it. I use it when i want a really natural daytime highlight, to just bring a touch of a glow to my cheekbones. It's therefore perfect for anyone just getting into highlighters and scared to go in at the deep end with lets say, theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer. 

In the same way I use it as a highlight on my cheekbones due to the subtle shimmer, I also use it on the under eye area to brighten and set my concealer. If i've applied too much blusher or gone for a heavy look on the cheeks (bronzer, contour, blusher, highlighter) then i'll use this to blend it all together and just give a softer appearance. 

Nars Nico is also great as an eyeshadow, when you want a wash of colour over the lids.
It's definitely not a must buy due to the high price, but if you're like me and are a Nars lover then maybe check this out on your next beauty spree. It might not look exciting in the pan but you won't be disappointed. Check it out on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2K7ttY1
