Wish List #2: Oh make me over

Dainty Doll by Nicola Roberts

Apparently Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud (defs a guilty pleasure of mine), who just happens to be a super-pale ginge, got really sick of never being able to find make-up pale enough for her skin. I've run into the same problem myself - for most brands, the lightest shade they make is still slightly darker than my skin. But Nicola did something about it, creating Dainty Doll, a line especially for us pale folks! Obviously I am very excited about this. The only issue is that the only place I can find it is online at Asos, and it's a littly pricy. 

Wishes: Foundation in Ivory, Concealer in Fair and Eyeshadow & Base in Apricot.



M.A.C.


1. M.A.C. Lipstick: I'm really digging lipstick right now, and I'm beyond pleased with the M.A.C. one I already have, so it only makes sense to add to the collection. The colours I like best are: Ravishing, Red, Modesty, Plumful, Moroccan, Woo, Chaud, Lady Danger, Impassioned, Spice It Up! and Crosswires. 


2. Dazzle Lash (black): I am in desperate need of new mascara, as the Covergirl one I'm currently using is mad clumpy. Dazzle Lash claims to "instantly produce a starburst dazzle effect", which sounds mighty intriguing. 


3. Studio Tech or Studio Fix Powder+Foundation (shade NW15): I think this is pretty basic, I've heard M.A.C. foundation comes in super-light shades for ghosts like me, and I need something with a little more coverage than what I'm using right now.


4. Select Cover-up (NW15): Cover-up! Woo-hoo! I think everyone knows what this is for.


Sephora


1. Kat Von D Everything: Yes, I really like Kat Von D, whatcha gonna do about it? I currently only have one lipstick from her line for Sephora, but I pretty much adore every single thing in the collection. More specifically:
  • Kat Eye Brush Set: 5 pretty brushes, just for my eyelids! I think I have two whole eye brushes right now, and their uses are extremely limited.
  • Autograph Eyeliner (Puro Amor): liquid liner, please! My friend told me this is one of the best liners she's used, and sometimes me cream liner just isn't what I'm looking for.
  • Painted Love Lipstick (Hellbent): we've already been over my lipstick love, but I didn't tell you that red is my favorite. Every girl obviously needs a million shades of red lipstick to suit every mood!
  • True Romance Eyeshadow Palette (Beethoven): So pretty! I like eyeshadow a lot, but I generally have issues putting different colours together without looking like a weirdo, and I really only have super-bright shades right now. 


2. NARS Lipstick (Casablanca): I LOVE LIPSTICK. OK? OK.

3. NARS Blush (Orgasm): Orgasm is, most likely, the best blush shade ever invented. It's fabulously peachy, with little gold flecks. I have lip gloss in this shade, and it's just gorgeous, so of course I want my cheeks to be equally rosy!

4. Vincent Longo Waterproof Eyeliner (Bianchino): A little while ago I decided that white liquid liner was the best idea ever, and this is the only one I could find. I think it would look totally tubular. 

5. Armani Code Pour Femme Elixer: Armani Code is one of the most delicious smelling perfumes, and I've wanted it for ages. Elixer is a more potent version of the original, but mostly I just like the atomizer on the bottle.

6. Benefit Lipscription: My lips get dry, flaky, and icky in the winter, and this set has an exfoliater and a balm to make it all better. I've loved every Benefit product I've ever tried, so I feel good about this working as well as it says it does.
