Beauty Bucket Lists-the ones to come? ♡

In my last post I talked about all of the products that had been on my "beauty bucket list" that I'd eventually caved and purchased, this time I'll be sharing the products that are left on my bucket list, I meant to get this up ages ago but since I started my new job I've been all over the place, sorry!
First up is the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, I think this is pretty difficult to get hold of in the UK but after hearing so many good things about this I really want to try it, I have a mascara problem and this may have to be my next addition to that problem. 
Next is a palette that is so pretty I would probably struggle to use it if I were to own it, Charlotte Tilbury's Dolce Vita is another product that has been raved about a lot and it is so pretty I'm struggling so much to resist it.
Another palette but this time it's more to finish my collection, the Urban Decay Naked 1 palette never used to appeal to me but now I've used the others I feel as though I'm missing out on the original, I'm not going to say too much as I feel as though Urban Decay shadows have more than enough praise online but they are the best I've ever used.
The next item I guess could be the thing that has been on this list the longest, Valentina by Valentino was the first thing I ever wanted to buy when I got my first proper job as a sales assistant in Primark and despite lusting over it every time I'm in boots I still haven't caved in and bought it yet, I'm sure I will one day but it is really expensive.


The Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation has had some very mixed reviews but it seems as though it may work for me better than Sheer Glow would, the only issue is I don't live near a shop that stocks Nars and I'm really reluctant to buy it online without being sure what shade would be best. 
Another eyeshadow palette and this one isn't going to be the easiest to get hold off, though it will be easier now that Sephora ship to the UK I am a little nervous about getting customs charges, Marc Jacobs Lolita palette is beautiful and has had so many good reviews. You can never have too many eyeshadow palettes right?
Finally the last product, the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour palette is so pretty and looks like it could be quite versatile too, again I'd have to get this from Sephora so I think I'll probably put an order together with my best friend and hope it doesn't hurt our bank balances too much. 

That's the end of my beauty bucket lists, I really wanted this post to go up sooner but things have been pretty hectic lately, I've started my new job and love it and have also started planning on moving to Southampton in September, if you know of any posts on tips on moving or things to do in Southampton please leave them below, I might even write some of my own as well.
Thankyou so much for reading xx

Beauty Bucket Lists-the ones that made me cave ♡

I love bucket lists, I feel like they can tell you a lot about people. This post isn't actually about my "life"bucket list, but my beauty bucket list. Does anyone else have one of these? It's a list of all the slightly more expensive makeup products that I really really want to buy but am waiting for the perfect time, and I thought I'd show you some products that I've bought that would have been on this list if I'd had it a while ago..so products that I had to build up the courage to buy (I did get some of them as gifts though)
As this post started to get far too long I've decided to split it into two posts so first up are the products that I lusted after for a very long time before either buying them myself or receiving them as birthday/Christmas presents.


I got the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette for my birthday a couple of years ago and loved it so much that a few months later I treated myself to the Naked 3 palette, I love them both a lot and, spoiler alert, am hoping to get the Naked 1 at some point too. 
Another eyeshadow palette but one that I didn't think I was ever going to be able to get is the Estèe Lauder Raisins duo, this was really popular a few years ago but was discontinued so I couldn't find it anywhere, until I was on holiday in Spain and found it by chance in a department store there, I really wish they would bring this back as it is beautiful and I never want to be without it!
A much more budget friendly product is the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, this is something that I've been looking at for so many years but never got round to buying it but with some events on at work lately I thought it would be a good product to have with brighter eye makeup for work.

I've been wanting a Nars blush/cheek palette since the danmari palette but always missed out on them so when my Dad managed to get me the Virtual Domination palette I was so happy, the colours are beautiful and I'm so glad I finally have one.
The Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow was definitely a risk purchase, I didn't get a chance to see it in person first and am almost sorry that I didn't, for some reason I was hoping that this would be more of a contouring palette but the highlight is beautiful and does make up for it.
Another nars blush product I wanted for ages is Deep Throat, it's beautiful and I love it a lot so am very happy that I bought it after having my eye on it for so long.
Mac's Stereo Rose Mineralise Skinfinish is another limited edition blush/highlight that I wanted for ages before finally buying it. Apparently this changes slightly with every collection it is released in but this one is stunning. 

Neon Orange by Mac was the first lipstick I ever wanted from them back when they were only about £12 (if there's one thing to hate about mac it's the ridiculous climbing prices, I haven't noticed any other brands increasing so much) I managed to find this unexpectedly in a Cosmetic Company Store and was thrilled, for some reason lately I've been too nervous to wear it but I used to wear it a lot. (this is now not discontinued anymore)
Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are stunning and I really wanted some of the matte revolution ones, my Dad got me Amazing Grace and I bought myself Glastonberry and they are beautiful, I'll definitely be doing a review soon.
The last lipstick is one that was definitely love at first swatch, I literally stalked this lipstick in various department stores for months before finally ordering it online, it's YSL's Rouge Voluptè in number 9-Pink Caress. It's a lovely colour and the packaging is gorgeous. 

Lastly I have a couple of non beauty items, that are still kind of beauty related. I've wanted a pair of Frends headphones for ages and finally bought the rose gold layla ones with my birthday money last year and am in love with them, they are expensive but I find them completely worth it.
Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes was very popular last year and I can really see why, I haven't read all of it yet but it's very good to dip into read parts of at a time. 
Flowebomb by Viktor & Rolf is a perfume that Rhiannon from fashion rocks my socks spoke about a lot and I finally managed to get it for christmas one year and love it so much, it's running out now but I may have to repurchase it as it's lovely.


I just wanted to mention that this post isn't me bragging in any way at all, it's just something that I thought might be interesting to look at.
Thankyou for reading, please share any of your own beauty bucket list items below, I'll be replying to any comments I may get.
Thankyou :)
