Our Weekly Wish Lists

It's Friday again and time for us to spill the beauty products we're thinking about, wanting, lusting over, interested to try for the week. When you read lots of beauty blogs, spend too much time shopping online or browsing in Priceline or the department store beauty counters it's pretty easy to regularly put together these lists

Sue's list:

1 – A body brush because Katherine has made me long for the benefits of dry body brushing.

2 – The Body Shop Shea Beautifying Oil -pure beauty in a bottle (for after body brushing and showering). Made with a lightweight blend of nut oils including Community Fair Trade marula oil, it gives instant hydration and a shimmering finish. This one has a delicious nutty scent.
 
3 – Estee Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator. Reduces the look of dark circles and puffiness (I have a very bad habit of rubbing my eyes when I wake up in the morning
 
4 – Lancome's Absolue L'Extrait.  The power of youthful skin is captured in a cream-elixir that delivers a new sensorial experience. Each jar contains up to 2 million Lancome rose stem cells which enhance the self-renewal potential of our skin's stem cells and subsequently a more complete regeneration is now made possible. (Sounds too good to be true – but I think I need to try this!!)
 
5 – Laura Mercier Eye Canvas – Eye Canvas transforms your eyelid into the perfect canvas for eye makeup application. The innovative formula acts like a foundation for your eye, neutralizing the eyelid by providing lightweight coverage – all while extending makeup wear and prevent creasing and smudging all day.  (Whilst clearing out bookcases recently I came across my Laura Mercier beauty secrets book – I love her work and can't believe I've still never tried her products.  Must remedy that.)
 
 
Katherine's list:

1 – Chanel nail polish in 543 Frisson because that colour is too good to not own!

2 – Benefit Watts Up Highlighter – I've never tried a highlighter before and would have to research how to use it but there's something about this particular highlighter from Benefit that makes me want it.

3 – Some sort of exfoliator for sensitive skin (if it exists) because my skin is getting sad but I can't find anything that isn't going to make it red and angry. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated!

4 – NARS Ramatuelle Trio Eyeshadow – these colours are out of control amazing. Anything peachy coral is in my lust book at the moment!

5 – Unicorn Farts Lipbalm from Etsy – I know, it's horrifying to even include this in a post that also features Chanel, but it's brilliant and the combination of natural beeswax, unrefined cocoa butter, unrefined shea butter, jojoba, sweet almond, and grape seed oils who wouldn't want Unicorn Farts lipbalm?

 

Have a great weekend and, as always, feel free to share your beauty lust list with us!

So, remember a couple of weeks ago we did a list each of five things we were lusting over? Well, Mum got a bit carried away and bought pretty much (actually, I think everything) on her list… Plus a few more things. I am both impressed and slightly horrifed, so I had to share it! I was going to do a list too, but once we got through what she bought, what she won, and what she's got her eye on now, there was barely any room left for me!

Wow Friday has come around quickly! Perhaps that's because I (Katherine) am on holiday and days just seem to fly by when you don't have to go to work!

We thought it would be a great way to end our first week by doing a bit of a wishlist of beauty products we are lusting over a little bit right now, so here goes!

Katherine's Wish List:

- ModelCo Fibrelash – $48

- Clinique long last lipstick in Runway Coral – $36

- Antipodes Apostle Skin Brightening & Toning Correcting Serum (100% because of this post – check it out, if only for the Hugh Laurie/Blackadder gif!) – $59

-  A Grape Fit by OPI (image example from here) – $19.95

 

Sue's Wish List:

We are so bad. I can tell you that by the time this list is published, Mum has already bought at least two (possibly three, unconfirmed) of her wish list items and I now want, not only mine, but hers as well. Good thing we started a beauty blog, I suppose! What are you currently lusting over?

Have a great weekend!
