Birthday wish list

IMG_1530

My birthday may not be until the beginning of August but today at work was ridiculously slow and boring so I started thinking about what I may like...

Bobbi Brown Make-up Brush Set ~ I need to replace all of my old and crappy make-up brushes, especially now that I'm more into the mantra of a good brush can make all the difference to make-up application

NARS 'Sex Appeal' Blusher ~ I already own both the Orgasm and Deep Throat blushers and love them, there's something about a coral blusher I can't resist. And a coral NARS blusher is even more irresistible. Sex Appeal is a much lighter, more peach toned blusher... I'm torn between this and the glitter ball that is New Order, decisions decisions! 

Stila 'Into the night' Eyeshadow Pallet ~ I adore eyeshadow pallets, they just appeal to my magpie senses. I don't own any Stila products and would love to dabble in their line. This looks like the perfect entry with gorgeous colours and a matte brown smudge stick to play with. I dare so it could be love...move over Naked pallet there's a new kid on my block (hopefully)

Next dresses and floral jacket ~ I am lusting after pretty much all of Next's clothes right now. I can often be found wandering around my local store admiring the pretty colours and prints. These three items is me being very very restrained! I'd also love some of their workout clothes but that's too boring for birthday presents no?

Cath Kidston goodies ~ Their website has recently launched the 50% off sale and who doesn't love a bit of Cath Kidston! Everything is just gorgeously girly.

Next tea cup lamp and wide wall organiser ~ My sensible side has reared it's head and I love this wall shelving thingy it would be perfect make up storage, I can see my favourite nail varnishes lined up on the top with some necklaces dangling down the bottom along with some favourite make up items in the drawers...perfection. The tea cup lamp...what can I say it's gorgeous! I must own this! It is however £50 but all that cuteness it has to be worth it...

Ikea Helmer ~ And for the rest of my make up collection these functional, sleek, tidy drawers. Make up storage sorted :)

So a bit of a mixed bag there and I've actually sent this to both my Mum and Dad and the boyfriend...who knows the make up storage of my dreams may be mine...

Love

Make up storage

I have become obsessed with all things interior based. I'm constantly on websites eying up millions of pounds worth of goodies which I can only dream of buying. I want to try and get into the car booting/charity shopping so many fellow bloggers seem to be so inept at. Any tips just leave them in the comment section lol! 
My ideas for my bedroom mainly revolve around white, sleek furniture, lots of roses, some subtle little lights wrapped around a mirror...everything girly. Not quite the shabby chic look as the boy isn't too keen on it but halfway there. 
We're in the process of redecorating the living room so photos of that will be up in due course, I'm rather excited to be honest...
Anyway this post is about my make up storage system, adapted from before since stealing a set of drawers from my Mother (once the Ikea Helmer is mine she can have it back of course)

                                                 
So these are the drawers, from Hobbycraft I think
The bright colours are nice but I'd rather have just the white translucent set
Or even the white Helmer (*cough* hint *cough*)
On the top I keep various jewellery and bits 
One of my favourite drawers
Full of my lip balms (I'm hooked I admit) and various sample sizes of other bits and bobs
It's great having a cousin in the beauty industry she always lets me try out new products
Must start a regular reviewing regime
This drawer is home to all my pallets 
Left hand side are the two urban decay nakeds, two MUA pro pallets and three sleek 
The top velvet pouch is my Chanel travel compact, then a No7 compact mum bought me for christmas
My MAC pallet is hidden underneath these
At the bottom are my two larger urban decay pallets, Alice in Wonderland and NYC2 
A few lose face products too, the new Benefit foundation which I must review as I love it! And No7 BB cream which is my usual choice for work 
The body drawer...
I keep the majority of body moisturisers in the bathroom
I have a habit of collecting these without realising I must work my way through them before buying more! 
Three of my favourites are in here, Lush Dream Cream, The body shop Lychee body butter this smells divine! I love lychees and this makes me want to lick myself. And the Korres jasmine body lotion I won at my Aunt's hen night, only Korres product I own and I'm impressed, may have to purchase some more.
I never really bother with my hair, just some detangler and heat protection before straightening and I'm out the door.
I'm trying to make a conscientious effort to take care of my unruly mane so this is the starts of my 'hair' drawer
Current face product drawer
Just a few bits and pieces I'm using on my mug at the moment
Kiehls moisturiser, clinique moisturiser, Neals yard moisturiser, clarins toners and other bits
Top of the drawers.... 
These little drawers still house the majority of my make up
Top two drawers blushers to the left and other face products to the right
I looooove the blusher drawer
Lipsticks and lipglosses to the left and more face products to the right
Loose eyeshadows to the left and odds and sods to the left
I have to share a little bit of space with the boy so he gets half a shelf for his aftershave and deodrant :) That's it though!
Two shelves for perfume and a coffee pot for mascaras

These items are all things in my dream bedroom...I'm now saving my pennies for these beauts. Anyone with a spare two grand feel free to chuck it my way!!! 


 I have huge plans for this baby. Gavin has hinted at a birthday present
One happy Belle if he comes through on that one!

Hope everyone's all hunky dory :)
