Wish List Wednesday

With the new season in front of us I've been wanting a few things to help me usher it in.  Each of these things are definitely wants and not really needs right now so I decided to put them all together in a Wish List to share with all of you.  Below are eight items I'm currently wishing for.


I got a deluxe sample of this from Sephora and fell in love with it.  Honey is one of my favorite skincare ingredients since it is both moisturizing and antibacterial.  This mask combines honey, royal jelly, propolis, and Farmacy's Echinacea GreenEnvy to hydrate, gently cleanse, and provide antioxidants to your skin.  I've found that it has even helped to clear up my skin when I'm having a breakout.  I think the best part about this mask though is that it warms when you rub it onto your face, which makes the experience feel super luxe.  I cannot wait to pick up the full size of this!

I have been eyeing these chic Karen Walker sunnies for a few years now.  I just love the shape of them and the look of the tortoise shell.  I've only ever worn black sunglasses so I think that these would be a fun way to change up my style a bit.  I'm thinking that since I've been lusting after these for so long I'm going to treat myself to them for summer.

This is another product I tried because of a deluxe size sample I got with a Sephora order and am totally hooked.  I like to alternate between chemical and physical exfoliants throughout the week (I exfoliate three times a week!) to give my skin the best exfoliation possible.  Right now I am using this chemical exfoliant and while I do really like it I'm almost out and wanting to try something new.  The few times I used the FAB Peel my skin was literally glowing the next day so I think I definitely need to add this into my skincare routine.

4. White Top
I feel like I'm always on the search for cute white tops since they go with everything.  I really should get a few different ones for the spring and summer since I don't have that many and this one is my top choice so far.  It is so cute with it's sweet scallop detail and is a steal at $25.  I think I might have to pick it up in white and black!

I never realized how important a setting spray is until I tried this.  I recieved a deluxe sample of this in my December PLAY! by Sephora box and now I feel like my makeup isn't complete without it.  This makes your makeup stay put all day or all night and I never have to touch up my makeup when wearing it.  I seriously cannot say enough good things about this amazing product and I can't wait to get the big bottle of it.

6. Colorblock Espadrilles in Black and Ivory
These are another item that I've been lusting over for a while and think that I finally need to take the plunge and purchase.  They're so cute for spring and summer and will go with so many things.  I've really been wanting the Chanel pair like this, but they're a bit out of my price range right now so I think I'm going to get this equally adorable pair from Tory Burch.

I am totally obsessed with Sunday Riley so naturally I want to try their newest moisturizer!  C.E.O. not only hydrates the skin, but provides skin with a dose of high-potency, advanced vitamin C.  The vitamin C works to "visibly repair the effects of aging, environmental stress, and pollution-induced damage."  This moisturizer is high in antioxidants and will also help to brighten skin.  I'm hoping to get a sample of this to try and see how I like it and if I want to buy it.

I have been in love with these since last year and they are yet another piece I think I need to have for this summer.  I love the sweet scallop on these as it is feminine, chic, and on trend.  I am also a huge fan of neutral colors and know these will go with so many things I already have in my closet.  I'm hoping to pick these up in the next few months so I have them ready for warmer weather.

Wish List Wednesday

Recently I've found myself wanting quite a few things.  These things are definitely wants and not really needs (except maybe one of them) at the moment so I decided to put them all together in a Wish List to share with all of you.  They are all fashion or beauty finds that I've either tried and want more of or have heard rave reviews about.  Below I have twelve items I'm currently craving!


This mask is one of the most amazing beauty products I have ever used.  I've always struggled with blackheads and this is the only thing that has literally made every single blackhead on my face disappear.  It works as a vacuum to clean out your pores and uses a proprietary six acid blend to brighten and soften skin.  The only bad thing I would say about this is that it is drying, especially for my super dry skin, so I can only use it every few weeks as a full face mask (it can also be used as a spot treatment).  I ran out of this about a month ago and am dying to get another jar!

I am trying to get better with makeup, especially face makeup like foundation and contouring.  I have heard so many rave reviews about this sponge and am dying to try it!  It can be used with all complexion makeup and works so well that it has garnered a cult following.

This is another product that I cannot wait to try.  I love Jaclyn Hill and her highlight is always on point so I know this must be amazing.  In addition to loving the way it looks on Jaclyn I have heard great things about it from other bloggers and beauty magazines.  It also ignited a craze when it was released and was sold out for such a long time, which makes me want to try it even more!

If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I am a major skin care product junkie.  I have read reviews on this product from bloggers, beauty websites, and different magazines and they all give it rave reviews.  Luna is "a next-generation retinoid oil that improves skin plumpness and helps fight the appearance of wrinkles, redness, and pores for visibly clearer, younger-looking skin."  I actually tried a sample of this on Monday night and woke up to seriously glowy skin so between that and all the great things I've heard I really want to purchase a full size bottle of this.

This is another item from Sunday Riley, which is a high performance skincare brand that focuses on fast results and long term payoff.  I've been looking for a very moisturizing night cream for the upcoming colder months because my already dry skin get even drier in the winter.  I was looking on Sephora's website and this caught my eye, later that night I remembered that I had a sample of it so I gave it a try.  This cream seriously moisturized my skin and when I woke up the next day I felt like my skin was glowing.  This cream works to brighten, hydrate, plump, and smooth skin, and moisturizes for twenty four hours.  I saw such great results after one night of use that I can't wait to see how amazing the long term results are.

In my opinion this is one of the best lip balms available.  It is super moisturizing and keeps your lips hydrated, even during the winter months.  It uses sugar, meadowfoam, and black currant seed oil to moisturize and antioxidant-rich vitamins to defend against damaging free radicals.  Moreover, it contains SPF to protect your lips from harmful UV rays.  It also smells delicious and comes in a variety of different tints that look gorgeous on!

I have been using micellar water for about a year now to wash my face in the mornings and am totally hooked on it.  A few weeks ago I got a deluxe size sample of this from Sephora and have been using it ever since.  It is super gentle and does a great job of cleaning my skin without drying it out.  I actually like this better then the micellar water I've been using for almost a year and really want to get a full size bottle of it.

8. iPhone 7 Plus Case
I recently ordered the iPhone 7 Plus and am waiting for it to come in (it was on backorder).  I decided to get the Plus this time around because I land up doing a lot of work things for my blog on my phone and thought that it would make it easier with a bigger screen.  I always have to have a case on my phone (which makes this the one thing on the list I absolutely need) so right now I am looking for the perfect one.  The one thing that is kind of a pain though is that I'm finding it's harder to find Plus cases and a lot of them aren't being released until mid October (which is when my phone should be here).  I'm loving this case, but I think I am going to wait and get a case from Casetify.

Mascara is my favorite makeup item and the one product I cannot live without.  My eyelashes are the same color as my hair so without mascara they're practically invisible.  I am super lucky to have naturally long and thick lashes (people always think they're fake), but I need mascara to darken them so you can really see them.  Last week my best friend sent me this article about this mascara.  It is supposed to be so good that Sephora can't keep it in stock.  Also the gorgeous Olivia Palermo (one of my fashion icons) uses it, which means I just have to give it a try!

10. Cozy Sweaters
It is officially sweater weather and I could not be happier!  Fall is my favorite time of year and there is nothing better then leggings or jeans, boots, and an oversized cozy sweater on a beautiful fall day.  I'm really liking this sweater right now, but am always on the hunt for others too.  I like to purchase at least one sweater for fall/winter (but let's be honest I land up buying way more than that) and will share with all of you when I get one!

I talked about these boots in this post from last week and just cannot get enough of them!  I have been wanting a pair of over the knee boots for such a long time now and these are exactly what I've been looking for.  I fell in love when I saw this pair in a post on I do deClaire.  Everything from the style to the color is perfect and I know they will go with just about everything.  My favorite part though is that they are a dupe for this much pricier pair that I've been wanting since last year and are an amazing deal at $149.95.  I think I am actually going to land up ordering these later today!

This also happened to make it into the same post from last week as the boots above.  This is the one item on the list that will forever be on a wish list because it is way, way, way out of my price range.  I love leather jackets and blush pink is my favorite color, which makes this a dream piece for me!  Unfortunately I will just have to settle for lusting over this beauty and search for a less expensive dupe for it.
