Wednesday Wishes: Spring Edition

April 12, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / 5 Comments

Hi guys! It’s almost that time of the year again… The Sephora Spring VIB Sale! We are still waiting on official dates but it is sounding like the dates for VIB Rouge will be April 18 to 24th which is all we know right now. With that in mind, I thought it was time to share my wish list! I likely won’t purchase all of these items, and I may stray, but this is a good place to start!

Yves Saint Laurent | Black Opium

I’ve been getting more into perfumes lately and I sampled this the other day in Sears and fell in love. I’m terrible at describing notes, so I’m going to snag those from the Sephora website: Coffee Accord, Orange Blossom, Cedarwood Essence, Patchouli Essence. It just smelled delightful. I have to say, Cat’s Instagram made me seek this out to give it a sniff! I still can’t wrap my head around how much perfumes cost so the Spring VIB sale seems like a good time to splurge!

Spring 2017 Wish List

Hi guys! I thought it would be fun to gather up some upcoming and new releases and put together another Wednesday Wishes post. While I will likely not purchase these all, these are the items that have my interest! I love putting together lists like this, it makes me sit down and really think about which products I would love to own the most. After much thought and consideration, I have come up with this list!

Becca | Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Prismatic Amethyst

Wednesday Wishes: Summer Edition

June 8, 2016 / thecorkedreader89 / 9 Comments

Hi guys! It’s been awhile since I did a wish list so I thought it would be fun to do one focused on products that I am eyeing up for the summer months. I don’t generally follow season-specific rules, but as the weather changes so does the needs of my skin, and I just find myself reaching for brighter colours!

Urban Decay | Vice Lipstick

Vanity Kills (Mega Matte)

Backtalk (Comfort Matte)

I’ve been eagerly anticipating the launch of the Vice Lipsticks from Urban Decay, mainly because I love, love, love their Revolution Lipsticks. I’m really hoping these will be just as good, or better! I do like the different formulas in the range and like usual, I am drawn to the mattes. I would love to try all the formulas, but right now I am enticed by Vanity Kills (Mega Matte) and Backtalk (Comfort Matte). Vanity Kills looks like a fun lavender shade for the summer. Backtalk looks like a perfect everyday mauvey-nude which would go with a more “natural” looking every day look. I tend to wear less makeup on an average summer day since I’m doing more outdoor activities like going for a walk, hike or spending the weekend at the cottage.

Anastasia Beverly Hills | Modern Renaissance Palette

I absolutely loved the Anastasia Beverly Hills Self-Made Palette (and still do!) so it is no surprised I am drawn to this beauty. This looks like a beautiful array of pinks and warm-toned shades that again, would be perfect for the summer! There looks like there are some great neutrals for a very simple look, but lots of brights if you want to add some colour! Continue reading →
