There’s something about a spending ban that makes a girl want to buy all the beauty products in the world! I’ve done well with my ban so far, but have still found myself wandering online on Sephora in my spare time! Instead of doing the usual “add to cart, close tab” routine I decided to do something more productive and write up my wishlist to share with you guys! (And, let’s be honest, send to various family/friends/my partner as ‘hints’)
Cover FX Custom Cover Drops – over the last few years my makeup tastes have changed a lot. I’ve gone from being a BB Cream wearer to wanting full coverage foundation. I either wear no foundation/a light dusting of powder or a full face, and this product just intrigues me – I can use it with lighter products, or moisturiser – I definitely want to give it a go! (If you’re reading this and wear NC15 in Mac and have tried this, tell me what shade you use!)
Benefit They’re Real Tinted Primer / Mascara in Brown – the idea of the Tinted Primer sounds really interesting and the photos that I’ve seen look amazing! It’s definitely on my list, as is the Brown They’re Real – I haven’t used a brown mascara for years and would love it on more natural makeup days!

Becca Ombre Nudes Palette – I have too many eyeshadow palettes, too many nude eyeshadow palettes specifically, but something about this palette just calls my name! I haven’t tried Becca eyeshadows before so maybe that’s why? All I know is I’ve wanted this for months and I know one day it’ll be mine!
Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector – I’m getting near the end of my current Benefit corrector and have heard so many amazing things about this one from Becca, I think it’ll be the next one that I try!
Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette – another palette I’ve had my eye on for months now, something about the colours in this palette makes me want it desperately! It isn’t something that I’d buy without swatching, because I want to see it in person before deciding if it’s right for me!

Zoeva Brushes – There’s something so luxurious about Zoeva and their brushes, I’ve had my eye on a full set for probably over a year now but just haven’t been able to part with the money! I’m eyeing off both the Rose Golden Luxury Set and the Rose Golden Complete Eye Set. I kind of want both!
Too Faced Born This Way Foundation – I’ve seen so many rave reviews of this product on YouTube/blogs/Instagram and I desperately want to try it! I’ve previously had a sample of their shade in Ivory but it was way too dark, and now they’ve released lighter shades it’s made its way onto my list! I think Pearl would be my shade.
Tom Ford Eye Colour Quad – this is an extravagant wishlist item, one that I know I’ll never purchase myself/would be mad if somebody ever purchased for me I’d be extremely mad, but it’s so luxurious and gorgeous. Although for $120 for 4 eyeshadows, it better turn me into Jaclyn Hill!
LA Girl Pro Concealer in Porcelain – I’ve tried the concealer before but couldn’t think much of it due to the fact that the shades I had were WAY too dark, but considering all the hype I want to give it another go, and I think that Porcelain will be the perfect shade for me.
Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Hydrating Primer – I’ve been using and loving the Too Faced Hangover RX Primer over the last few months, but I’m coming to the end of that and searching for something new! I’ve read some good reviews for this product and want to give it a go next!
Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette – I know what you’re thinking, another eyeshadow palette! Palettes are definitely some of my favourite things, and this palette has been on my wishlist for well over a year now! The shades are a neutral perfection, but are so similar to what I already have which is why I haven’t purchased it just yet! One day though, it will be mine!
I have the Zoeva Rose Gold Brush set and I love it!! It is definitely worth the money! They are the softest brushes ever x
Ah I want them so bad ! Hopefully I’ll get a chance to play around with them when I’m in Melbourne and pick them up!
Wishlists are fun to make – I’m also on a no-buy if it makes you feel better!! I’m allowing myself a little treat next week for my birthday and then back on until the Priceline sale in March where I plan to pick up all of the nail polishes ha!
How’s yours going so far? Reddit “makeup rehab” has been helping me heaps, in terms of reading about others completing the same challenge, as well as googling specific reviews and tutorials for products I already own.
Haha it does !
I had some $$ to spend whilst in Melbourne and didn’t even spend it all, I’m so proud !
I allow myself to buy things when I’m out and don’t have backups – so I’ve purchased my toner and HG foundation so far.
I feel like I’m going well! It’s easier than I thought really and it’s been over a month ! It feels good!!
