~My Birthday Wishlist~

I am turning 25 this year! Aaaaahhhhh! I can't believe I have been on this planet that long! I know I shouldn't complain though, because I am actually really looking forward to getting a bit older...a bit older, a bit wiser? I certainly hope that's the case! Anyway, even though my birthday isn't until September 12th, I have been thinking about my wishlist a lot lately. I am trying to keep the shopping to a minimum until then. I have been going crazy the past few months, and it is time to slow down. You know how sometimes shopping can seem monotonous and slightly tedious? I know it has lost it's excitement for me, and the reason is because I have been doing it far too much lately. A break is much needed! So in the meantime, I will dream of the things I want for my 25th. I hope this doesn't seem too self-indulgent, but this is just a wishlist. I will probably end up buying these things for myself. so here it is:


~ Satellite Dreams e/s
~ Shell creme color base
~ 217 & 239 brushes


~ Nars blush in Albatross
~ Philosophy perfume in Unconditional Love (great name!)
~ Boing concealer by Benefit

From Coastal Scents:
~ The warm 88 pallate


From NYXcosmetics.com
~ NYX Body bronzer

How cute is the packaging?!! I love Hawaii, and these bronzers all are named after a Hawaiian island...i might have to get more than one ;)

What are you lusting after at the moment?

Victoria's Secret All-Over Moisture Salve

I bought this skin salve by Victoria's Secret around the time that the MAC Naked Honey collection came out. I went to the MAC counter, tested out the Naked Honey Salve, then quickly ran over to V.S. and tested out their version. Although I thought they were both comparable in product, I decided to buy the V.S. salve because it was half the price of the MAC one. Why pay more when they are both equally moisturizing and delicious in scent?! I love this product so much. It smells like blackberries, and the pretty milky-pink color gives my lips a nice sheen. I also apply the salve to my cuticles, as they tend to get dry very easily. Before i go to bed, I like to rub some on my elbows, hands, and feet. I know many people love the Naked Honey salve, but it is limited edition. So once it runs out, I highly recommend going to Victoria's Secret and buying the all-over moisture salve in Blackberry and Tonka Bean!



This is how it looks on my lips:

Summer Trend: Coral Nails

I am loving bright, fun colors for my nails this summer. I usually gravitate towards light pink nails or nude polish, mainly because I can't stand chipping! And darker polishes can be a little tricky to apply. A steady hand is needed! But I bought this nail polish from Victoria's Secret when they were having their big semi-annual sale. It's called "cocktail" and it was only a dollar!It is a stand-out coral shade with flecks of gold shimmer mixed in. I am really happy about the consistency and staying power of it. I have had it on for five days now, and it still looks fresh - no chipping, no streaking! Coral is such a great color for summer, especially on tan skin. I plan on wearing this polish a lot! What colors are you wearing on your nails?
