My obsession with Asos has died down slightly over the festive period, partially due to the spending strains of Christmas and saving for a couple of little holidays with friends. But trust me when i say its been hard and all I've really wanted to do is press the beloved 'add to bag' button. It's been a good few months since my first Asos Wishlist post and there's still ever increasing saved items, so i thought it was time for take 2! Here is a selection of my most wanted:
                                                                                       

First of all, i hope everyone had a really good Christmas with far too much food and drink being consumed. Christmas always makes me realise how blessed and lucky i am and shows how much we should appreciate the free things in life such as family! One beauty related gift i received which is just beautiful, is the Nails Inc Christmas Crackers. I'd never seen this before and it consisted of 6 gorgeously packaged mini crackers, with 6 full size nail polishes inside. Although I do apologise, i didn't think to take pictures of the crackers unopened until after id already opened them, whoops! 
As well as the nail polishes there were also 6 quotes from women such as Coco Chanel, Anna Wintour and Audrey Hepburn which added another lovely touch. Now on to the polishes themselves:

• Baker Street; Nails Inc best selling cobalt blue
• Mayfair Mews; A new midnight blue fibre optic nail polish
• Trafalgar Crescent; A new silver galaxy effect nail polish
• Kings Road; A new rose gold foil effect nail polish
• Kensington High Street; Burgundy, wine shade
• Marylebone Lane; A new special effects nail polish in ruby red glitter

I never used to wear the classic cat eye/ flick until i found this little beauty. I have quite hooded eyes (i think) and so when i look straight ahead, you cant see much lid space. Any eyeliner that i do on my lid must therefore be super thin as otherwise it just looks wrong. I'd always wanted to give it a whirl, but nothing id used before had worked for me and so i was beginning to think liquid/gel eyeliner was just not for me. Until i received the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner- Black 1 in a Glossybox a few months ago.
It has a small nib, enabling you to do precision eyeliner, is super black with just one swipe and lasts really well too. And, what makes it even better?! Its only £2.99! Bargain! I can finally wear a cat eye!

                                       

First of all, i am sorry for not posting in what seems like forever. I have been super busy (and stressed) with sixth form and personal statement shenanigans and when i have had the time to sit down and write a post, writers block has come over me. This may be down to putting myself on a makeup and clothes shopping ban, which trust me, has been hard!
But today, i am here, bringing you my top 3 winter lipsticks that are bold and beautiful. 

1) The first, my ultimate favourite and most used lipstick, step up Rimmel London Lasting Finish By Kate Moss Lipstick- 107. I seem to find myself reaching for this all the time, i sometimes even have to tell myself to put it down and wear something different for a change. I don't think there's many people that haven't heard of it, its a perfect darker red that can be worn day and night and would suit all skin colours.


2) The next of my favourite winter lipsticks is Mac Rebel which is a satin finish and to me just oozes winter and Christmas. It's a purple with fuchsia running through it that can be worn bold with just one swipe, or sheered out with your finger for more of a deep pink.



3) Yves Rocher Moisturising Cream Lipstick - 106 Mauve is the last on my top 3 picks. In the tube, it looks a dull, uninteresting and unflattering shade but on the lips it gives a slightly 'vampy' look that's for perfect for the colder months. Its a sort of brown mauve, with plum running through it which feels really creamy on the lips, to help keep chapped lips firmly away.
