New Season Wishlist

I love that time of year when all the transitional clothing goes into store and I can't wait to wear something other than black. As you can tell, I'm more about neutral colours as they're easy to wear so that's what's mostly in this wishlist but here it is, anyways:

BLOG SALE | BEAUTY & FASHION

So today I'm having a bit of a mini blog sale to get rid of some things I no longer have any use for. It's just a few bits and bobs but I know they're things readers would want rather than flogging them on eBay for pennies! (all makeup will be cleaned and sanitised before sending). Take a look and details of how to buy are at the bottom of the post!

The first is this Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette. It's been very popular but I just don't really use it. The only colour I've properly used is 'dirty sweet' - usage can be seen below, however there's still around 3/4 of it left. Looking for around £26* since it's basically brand new bar that one colour!




Next is the Mac Soft and Gentle Highlighter. Also another really popular product but the colour just isn't for me and I no longer use any Mac makeup. Only used twice! Looking for around £18*




Next is Mac Vanilla Pigment. There's 3/4 of the bottle left but it's a gorgeous pigment which I no longer use and I'm sure someone would want it. I've had it ages and it's barely went down. You get loads of use out of it! The only reason it's 1/4 gone is because I accidentally spilled it but if I hadn't, it'd still be practically full despite using it almost everyday! Looking for about £8*





Finally is my gorgeous Balmain x HM High Neck Jumper / Top Size 8. I was so happy I managed to get this however, after wearing it once for 2 hours, I realised it didn't really suit me. I love it and it's a gorgeous piece but it'd look better on someone else. This is SOLD OUT everywhere and is only available on eBay etc for prices up to £150!!! So I'm looking for the RRP of £40* BARGAIN! It's in perfect condition from a smoke-free home and comes with a dust bag. Send me an email for any more pictures as I've used the official image as it looks so much better than any of mine!


IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ANY OF THESE ITEMS, EMAIL ME AT STYLESPICE@HOTMAIL.COM OR COMMENT BELOW AND I'LL GET IN TOUCH!

January Beauty Haul


Over the past few weeks, I've been stocking up on some makeup bits and bobs as everything had been running low and I was getting bored (shock). So I bought some lovely new things and I got some for Christmas too. So, here's what I got!

Morphe Contour Brushes


I was in need for some new brushes for my face so I picked these contour brushes so I could sculpt my face more precisely. I also needed them for my next purchase....
Buy them here

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit


I already had the cream contour set so of course I needed the powder set to go with it. This kit works perfectly with the brushes to create that perfect Kim K look.
Buy it here

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter 



My boyfriend was kind enough to treat me to this for Christmas. I'd wanted it for ages after trying it at my friend's house. I love this highlighter. It gives me just the right amount of highlight and it's the perfect shade and not glittery like some are.
Buy it here

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation


Recently, I've stopped using Mac makeup, even though it was my favourite brand as I wanted to make the switch to cruelty free makeup. I didn't feel right using products knowing they'd been tested on animals and it was completely against what I stand for. So, I picked this Urban Decay foundation as I'd heard good things and it's cruelty free. It's not as matte as Mac but it still does the job and I really like it. I got this in the shade 2.0
Buy it here

Lush Cream Eyeshadow



This is the shade 'Happiness'. I've always wanted to try out lush makeup but I didn't think it'd be very good. However, I love this cream eyeshadow because it's so pigmented and the perfect copper colour. It's so long-lasting too.
Buy it here

Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette



You can never have too many eyeshadow palettes right?? This was another treat from my boyfriend/ I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it because it has such warm and pretty colours. I love creating an orangey/red smokey eye with this palette. Let me know if you'd like to see some looks from this palette!
Buy it here

Lime Crime Venus Palette



I probably didn't need this palette but I fell in love with the shade 'Muse'. I'm addicted to red and orange eyeshadows at the moment, it's becoming a major problem. Everything about this palette is good. 10/10.
Buy it here

Lime Crime Velvetine




Last but not least, is this gorgeous velvetine lipstick in the shade 'Riot'. I'm so glad I discovered limecrime- all their products are vegan and cruelty free. Since I'd thrown out all my Mac lipsticks I needed a new one. My friend recommended this to me and I love it. I love how it stays all day and doesn't move and it's such a gorgeous colour.

#NOTW: The Perfect Burgundy


Happy New Year! Once again I've been very MIA from blogging as unfortunately, I've just lost a loved one before Christmas. So, now I'm starting to get back in to the swing of things. 

I've noticed that last year, I really deprived my nails of looking nice and pretty. So, this year I've decided to pay more attention to them and make an effort. 


On my nails, I'm wearing the shade 'Penthouse' by Jessica. I actually got this polish in a set with a basecoat and a finishing shine from online beauty retailer 25o. I love this set because it's just so long lasting and the colour is perfect for me. I always have a problem with the colour burgundy as it's hard to find one that's not too red, but this one is just what I've been looking for. The shine coat gives it that look as if you've just been to the salon too. 


I can't wait to try some more Jessica products because I really loved the quality and colour of this one. I'm really fussy with nail polishes too! 

The set is also on sale at the minute for only £20 - buy it here! It makes a fab gift, too.

What is your go to nail colour?
