April Wants

It's a little late in the month but I've been DROOLING over a few products lately that I just had to share.

April Wants by tinypockets featuring a clear mascara

Origins skin care, $39 / Guerlain face powder / Heaven Earth eyeshadow, $6.70 / Clear mascara

All right, I can't really afford my April Wants because I had a lot of bills due this month that are setting me back and I'm DEFINITELY on a no buy until further notice (or I lose self-control... ahem.)

But I'm so in love the the Guerlain Meterorites. I cannot even stand it. I actually want ALL OF THEM. However, they are $60 a pop and... wow... I cannot afford that at all. I'm also in LOVE with the Origins GinZing Moisturizer. I got a sample of this stuff last year and haven't found anything I like as much. Granted, I love my Cerave in the tub BUT if I use it in the morning, my makeup "pills" up and gets gross looking so... I'm dying to spring for this one.

I am going to "splurge" and grab myself some ELF brow gel though, big spender that I am. I'm in the process of growing in my brows a bit more and could REALLY use some gel to keep them under wraps until I can really groom them the way I want. I'm using the ELF eyebrow kit to fill them in but I prefer the powder side and that doesn't really help shape the wild hairs that I call eyebrows.

Also, I've been dying to try all the MUA makeup when I move to the UK in the fall so I'm putting them on my wants right now. AH! 

March Wants

Is it weird that I had a really hard time coming up with a list of wants for this month? I bought a CRAP TON of stuff in February (post coming soon, I promise!) so my wishlist has downsized a lot. The only things I really need right now are a new angle brush (mine fell apart during routine washing) and some translucent setting powder (NYC is my favorite and it's like $3!).

March Wants by tinypockets featuring a toiletry kit

I added the Kate Moss lipstick because a ALMOST bought this exact shade last month but my Ulta coupon wasn't good yet so I just put it back. Sadness. 

I'm also really dying to try ELF BB cream for some reason. I don't know where the urge came from but the urge is there, people. It's there. 

I could also use a good everyday brush cleaner so I'm accepting recommendations (and donations...)

Happy March, everyone!

Dreaming Big

I'm going to try really hard not to go overboard with Polyvore posts but I'm absolutely obsessed with the site so I put together a set to show off my High(er) end wants because even though I'm poor and I know that my makeup is totally awesome, I can dream.

Dream a Little Dream by tinypockets featuring a matte palette eyeshadow

Products included:

The Porefessional from Benefit (le sigh, I want so bad!!!!!)
Naked 1 &2 Palettes from Urban Decay (the Jesus of nude eye shadows, IMO)
24/7 Liner from Urban Decay (I have a tiny nub left of mine... replaced it with NYX... close but not as good as UD)
Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask (I'm obsessed with buying deep conditioners. I want this one so bad!)
Clinique Chubby Sticks (I want all of them!)
Benefit High Beam (I just want it, okay?)

August Wants

As you know, I'm pretty broke. I work a not so great job for a really low wage and book sales are down so money is tight. Plus I've got all the debt that young people have now. Unpleasant. That doesn't mean I can't drool over makeup and make the occasional purchase (cough, haul, cough.)

So in my lusting after beauty products... here are my August wants.

• Nume Petite Flat Iron in Hot Pink - I have a KICK ASS coupon I got from my first IPSY bag so whenever it's in stock, I'm going to pick this bad boy up. Alas, everytime I seem to have a little extra cash monies, this is out of stock. WORK WITH ME, WORLD.
• Essie Nail Polish in Black Licorice - All right, Essie polish may just be a dream. I may end up picking up a bottle from the dollar tree or a small set from Ross with a black nail polish in it but I really want black polish. I'm channeling my inner 15-year-old goth kid. 
• Milani Baked Blush in Coralina - I have been DYING to try Milani baked blushes for a while. I don't know why I always pass up a good chance to pick them up but I do. Waiting for a good sale, I guess. 
• NYX Natural palette - You know already that I sing the praises of NYX's Nude on Nude palette. It is the best purchase I've ever made. Ever. So when I saw this little set, I was so excited. Those matte shadows just look so... amazing. I want to put them on my face. Again, waiting on a really good Ulta sale Come on 40% off NYX sale at Ulta. WHERE YOU AT?

What's on your wishlist for August? Do you have any of the products I want?
