Things I really, really would like. Please.

I already have a cheaper rose gold watch in my collection, but I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs beauty on tumblr and fell in love.  It's pretty pricey, so I'll save up and hope for a 25% student discount to come around again on asos and then ask my sister very nicely to share the love.

I know lots of people like the Liquid Bronze Self Tanning, but I'm intrigued by the all in one tinted moisturiser/gradual tanner that the Clarin's Instant Smooth Self Tanning purports to be.  Plus they used the words "caramel tinted complexion perfector" in the description.  It was pretty much a done deal!

Since watching P0larmilk's video where she used a Lancome Rouge In Love lipstick I've really been wanting to try one.  I swatched a couple in store and it's 159b that I've decided on, but at £21 they're a lot more expensive than my usual MACs so it's going to take me a while to build up the bottle to splurge that much on a lippie!

I already have the green version of this Leuchtturm A5 notebook that I use for blogging but I'm a sucker for stationary, and this turquoise version has really caught my eye.  They quality of these notebooks is great, and each colour comes either lined, plain or square.  I much prefer these to my blogger-cliche Moleskine.

Speaking of blogger cliches.....the infamous Zara City Bag.  It really is beautiful and ticks all the boxes for me.  I think I'll just have to make a purchase soon.

Finally, another blogger favourite - Molecule 01.  I think that when I eventually do get around to purchasing this I'll be cheap and go for the travel refill which is a rather reasonable £27.  I'm just worried that my natural smell won't actually be very nice!


EDIT
So I took a day trip to London and investigated some of my wishlist in the flesh.  The Zara bag, although lovely, has been removed from the list because I don't really need an excuse to buy a bulky bag to fill up with rubbish.  And my fears proved right.  Molecule 01 smells horrible and peppery on me.  Thank God I spritzed it rather than just ordering online!  So with that in mind, here are the new things on my wishlist.  And yes, I know I've scratched two off and replaced them with three.  That's just how I roll.
An extremely twee skirt which I'm no doubt too old for, an acidic bag that is much more green in the flesh and ditto to this lovely shirt.  Mango has some really nice stuff in right now.

What do you have your eye on at the moment?

  3. I have the Zara city bag and loveee it, although it definitely does get filled with lots of rubbish lol! Also it kinda annoys me how all of the compartments are thing and there isn't one big section. Apart from that it's a winner for me - especially as it has a laptop section too!

    1. Yeah, compartments do actually drive me nuts in bags! The middle one always gets in the way and I lose stuff because I can't see around it! The fact that I never carry my laptop with me kinda swung it for me. But the bag I got instead I absolutely love! x

  4. I really loved the Zara City bag too, but opted against it because everyone and their mother has it. I am a sucker for stationary too and I got a new Moleskine for my birthday the other day. And I love that H&M skirt, it's far to pretty to pass up on. Rachel x

    1. Everyone does have it, but it annoys me seeing it look so good on other people! I think £12.99 for that skirt is such a bargain too, just not sure the shape will suit me x

  6. I've had my eye on the Zara City bag for a while, it looks like it will be a timeless purchase so would be so worth it!

    1. Isn't it lovely? It was a really odd smell - quite cheap and aerosol-y at first, but then it definitely just smelt peppery on me :( x

  10. That watch is beautiful! I'm currently lusting after a rose gold Michael Kors watch! I've been wanting to try the Clarin's Instant Smooth Self Tanning for so long now, it's one of those products I really want but never get round to buying! Also, one last thing! Molecule 01 is such a lovely perfume and very popular with the ladies in my family, I haven't ever met anyone else who has even heard of the scent though!

    Really enjoy all your blog posts :)

    1. I have a gold-gold MK one and I love it! I don't think I'll ever get around to buying the Clarins stuff either...I always talk myself out of it! I read a bad review the other day and I've been using a fake tanner at night. Plus it seems a bit of waste when I just cover up in foundation anyway! x

  11. I was admiring your rose gold watch from a distance at lbloggers, I thought it was a Kors. Well done! And the Leuchtturm notebook is beautiful. God I love stationery.
