March Wish List!

At the moment, there are so many amazing products I am discovering, so this month's wishlist might be kind of long!

First off on my list is the Benefit Primping With the Stars set!
This set comes with:
Stay Don't Stray ( A stay-put primer for concealer and eyeshadows!)
Some Kind-A-Gorgeous foundation
Benetint Rose (Lip and cheek stain)
Pore-fessional Pro Balm
Girl Meets Pearl (Liquid pearl for face)
They're Real mascara

I've heard great things about this set, and Benefit in general! The Stay Don't Stray sounds perfect for keeping concealers from creasing!
Unfortunately, it's really hard to get Benefit products in New Zealand! Two of my friends have ordered this pack from Amazon in the US though, so I will let you know if it's any good.

The next thing on my wish list is NARS Torrid Blush.
I think this blush looks amazing! I love the packaging, and I like the coral colour with a hint of gold shimmer. I only have one blush, and I'm looking for some more, so I think I will definitely pick this one up sometime this month!

The third thing in my wishlist is Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub. One of my best friends has this, and she loves it, and I've seen loads of great reviews about it! Also, it smells and tastes incredible!! Lush can be quite expensive, but I think it is worth it.

 The last thing on my March Wishlist is the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation!
I have been looking for a liquid foundation for aagggeess but I wanted a really light one, that wouldn't be too cakey or heavy, and from other reviews that I have seen, the Wake Me Up foundation would be perfect! I will be on the look out for this for sure!

 So that's my wishlist! I don't have much money at the moment (thanks to Ed Sheeran coming to Auckland next weekend - eeeeek! So excited!!!), so I'm not sure if I will be able to get all of these things, but I will definitely try! And when I do, I will make sure to review them all for you :)

Thanks for reading guys!

February Favourites

Hello, and welcome to beauty bits. :)

Today's post is my February favourites!

I had my birthday this month so I have got lots of lovely things on my list!

The first thing on my list is Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stains! I got two of these - one in 'Charm' which is a very light pink and the other in 'Romantic' which is quite a bright red. They are so easy to apply and they stay on for hours. Also, they have an amazing peppermint smell! I haven't owned any lip stains before, but I'm definitely going to pick up some more of these!




  The second thing on my favourites list isn't a beauty product, but it's still amazing! For those of you who like diffusers, I highly recommend the Aromatherapy Co. Viva la Fluro Wild Fig and Tangerine diffuser set - it smells AMAZING. It's a really refreshing, fruity scent and it makes my room smell incredible! I only put a few reed diffuser sticks in at a time though, because otherwise it is a bit overpowering.



The next thing on my list is the Body Shop Strawberry Puree body lotion. I got this in a set with the Strawberry shower gel and a bath lily. Both the shower gel and the body lotion smell incredible, and they stay on the whole day. They are both so relaxing as well, and the small sizes are great for travel.


And finally, the last thing on my February favourites is Dolce by MOR honey hand cream. This hand cream is amazing! It has coco seed and shea butter so it moisturizes your hands, but it doesn't make your hands really sticky like I find other hand creams do. It also has base notes of amber, cotton candy and vanilla so it smells incredible as well! I also got a Dolce by MOR honey soap, which is also amazing!

All comments are appreciated! If you have any ideas of what I could review next, or you want me to check out your blog, feel free to leave me a comment! :)
