Wishlist: HURRY UP PAYDAY!

(Clockwise from the top)
Wall-Mounted Clothes Rail: In my new room I don't have enough space for a freestanding clothes rail so a wall mounted one seems like a perfect solution. I like this one but I can't find out the price. I've had a look on eBay and other places and they seem to be going for around £40-£60 which is a bit much for a glorified pieces of metal if you ask me so hopefully I'll be able to persuade my dad to build something similar!
Black Ballet Shoes: I need some new shoes for work, my Carvela ones are looking a bit scruffy now so they need replacing. I like these velvet ones from ASOS as I'm a bit of a velvet fiend.
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel: I've been trying out the mini size of this wash & I love it. It seems to be clearing up my awful skin. It's very gentle yet I feel like my skin is really clean and fresh afterwards. I've been using it with my facial buffer from The Body Shop which is amazing!
Aura Tracie Ellis Bedding- I need some new bedding and I saw this gorgeous set in TKMaxx the other day. I'd never heard of Tracie Ellis but she has some really pretty designs on her website. The set was £24.99 RRP £100!
Wooden Leopard Glasses- I know I've just got some new glasses but I want more in my collection! I adore this wooden pair and I think I need them on my face! They are $68 from Firmoo but I think they look so much more expensive.
Wooden Heart Ear Tunnels- I have my ears stretched and I've had some pretty wooden lotus tunnels in for the last 2/3 years! I'm not sure how the heart shaped ones would stay in my round holes but they are super cute. They are from this seller on eBay & there are loads of other great wooden designs.

So these are a few of many things that I would really like in my life right now! Every time I see something that I really want I write it down and I'm going to see if I still actually need it at the end of the month. I'm sure there will be quite a few wishlists in the next few weeks on here! I'm not one to splurge my money but then I don't really have a budget either. Isn't money a strange thing?!
Do you budget and save for specific items or do you tend to impulse buy?

Wishlist: SEPTEMBER BEAUTY

As I'm a girl on a very tight budget I don't usually splurge on make-up or beauty products but often I'm left a little underwhelmed by some high-street brands so here's a little wishlist of what I would be buying right now if I had the money! I'm still on a jobsearch and my overdraft is dwindling away so a hot pink lipstick & £65 perfume aren't exactly classed as essentials boo :(
Real Techniques Stippling Brush- I've read so many great reviews about the Real Techniques brushes. I really like a natural, dewy finish when it comes to foundation. The bristles on my foundation brush are getting a bit sad and they've started to leave stroke-marks when applying which is annoying. The price range is affordable too & they were on offer 'Buy one get one half price' at Boots the other day.

Illamasqua Eurydice Lipstick- When I was in Selfridges the other day I was having a mooch around the make-up counters and I thought i'd have a look at the Illamasqua products, again after hearing such amazing reviews everywhere. Grace, the make-up artist suggested I tried a super-bright pink & although I was very skeptical it look BLOODY AMAZING! (if i say so myself) I never usually buy high-end lipsticks as all the ones I've tried seem to wear off my lips really quickly but this lasted for hours and I'm really impressed. I couldn't afford to buy it as i'm so poor right now but i think it'll be going on the birthday wishlist :)

Illamasqua Bait Medium Pencil- Before the make-up artist applied the lipstick she used the medium pencil to really define my lips and over the surface to make the lipstick last longer. She used a slightly lighter shade than the lipstick to give the illusion of fuller lips. Again I fell in love with the product! Its super pigmented and literally lasted about 10 hours on my lips!

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme- I've always been a fan of Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf and when I spotted this new edition of the fragrance I was so excited! I really like strong, intense, warm, musky smells especially in the winter! The sales assistant kindly gave me a couple of samples to try :) I've included the description because perfume descriptions generally make me giggle:
'An overdose of Arabian jasmine and osmanthus against a delicious background of benzoin and vanilla absolute. The ultimate elixir, intense like a glance.'

Dermalogica Medi-Bac Kit- My skin is so crap at the moment, I used to have pretty bad acne in college but it seemed to disappear for a few years but now it's come back with a vengeance :( I went for a Dermalogica consultation at my local beauty salon and the consultant kindly gave me some samples of the Medi-Bac range which is formulated for adult acne. This range is 'guaranteed' to improve skin within a month which is a radical statement, I'm going to see if it sorts itself out and if not I'm going to invest in the range. 

Have you tried any of these products before? If so what do you think? Whats on your beauty wishlist right now?
Thanks for reading :)
