So it would seem that I have a new found love for all things beauty and as bloggers, we all know what that means…. Wishlist!! I don’t wear a lot of make-up but I would like a few new bits and pieces to add to my favourites.
So without further ado here is my spring beauty wishlist (and yes I’m being eternally hopeful by popping Spring in the title).
1. Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Lipstick in Ex-Girlfriend – £16
I was obsessed with this collab as soon as I saw it on Twitter. So much so, that on Boxing Day, I went straight onto the site and ordered the eyeshadow palette which I’m sure you’ll agree is just gorgeous. I don’t wear a lot of lipstick and when I do I like to stick nude shades and this one looks amazing. Although not pictured I think the lip liner of the same shade may be a necessary purchase.
2. Benefit Dandelion Blush – £23.50
Although I don’t often wear blusher, I have been lusting after this one by Benefit for quite some time and think it should be in my makeup collection sooner rather than later as I could do with looking like I have a nice glow to my cheeks.

3. e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette – £12.50
This has taken the place of a slightly more high-end palette after the lovely AJ from AJ Loves shared a pic of it via Twitter. She was the best in pointing out to me that it is a very close dupe of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette which I have been coveting for some time. The price tag of this palette is much better for my poor student bank balance and the colours seem closer to ones that I would wear.
4. Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Blush Palette – £35
I couldn’t leave out the blush palette from this beauty collab seeing as I included the lipstick and already own the eyeshadow palette. This blush palette has a good range of shades and knowing me I’d probably use some of them as an eyeshadow if I was stuck.

5. Benefit They’re Real Primer – £18.50
I bought a copy of Elle (I think) just to get a sample of this product and I’m addicted to it which means at some point I will need to upgrade to a full-size version of the primer.

6. Benefit They’re Real Mascara – £19.50
When I first used the primer (above) I wasn’t using it with the Benefit They’re Real mascara and it’s such a shame as when I bought a trial size of the mascara the effect was amazing and now I swear I’ll need a full size of that too.7. Bare Minerals Marvellous Moxie Lipgloss in Sparkplug – £16
You can never have too many lipglosses and this one from Bare Minerals looks like it would be a great addition to my ever growing collection. I love lipglosses which add a bit of colour but not too much. The problem with not wearing much makeup is when I do go for bolder shades I end up looking a bit like a clown so the natural look works for me and this one fits the bill perfectly.
