Wishlist | June 2013

Hello girlies, today's post is simply a 'What I want, right here. Right now' kinda thing. There is literally A TONNE of clothes and makeup that I am lusting over for Summer right now so I thought I'd give you a little insight into my wishlist.

Does this bikini make anyone else drool? I've wanted something like this for SO long. I think the high waisted bottoms and bustier type top will be so flattering and I may have actually found a bikini I'll feel confident wearing - SUCCESS! It is rather pricey but the print is just so gorgeous, really reminds me of Versace! 

A rather boring product I must admit but I've heard so many good things about this one product that I'm getting really excited to purchase this powder! I've literally been wanting it for the longest time but I continued to buy the MUA powders and now my MUA powder has run out this baby is calling my name! However, I'm slightly confused as to whether I will need 'light' or 'light plus'?! Help me.. somebody!

Right. I'm not entirely sure if these will be one of those things that stays on my wish list forever or not, BUT.. I was in American Apparel in London the other day and almost fainted at the sight of MINT DISCO PANTS! As a mint green lover, I got a lil excited however the price is like a punch in the face. Due to me wanting disco pants for so long, I think I may end up making the splurge because they're so damn hot.

I think I have found my IMATS outfit! I saw this in Topshop the other day, tried it on and instantly fell in love . The colours are so gorgeous and perfect for Summer, plus it's really flattering when on! The price isn't too bad so I'm hoping to buy this in the next couple of weeks! I don't doubt I'll be featuring it in a lookbook. 

Matt Healy. Need I say more?

Just listen to The 1975 and I swear you'll fall in love.

So, that's just a few things I'm wanting at the moment! If you enjoy these posts, please say and I'll do more!

What are your thoughts on the above? Tell me in the comments!

London!

Hi everyone! I'm not going to go on and on with excuses about it being so long since my last post because if I'm honest, I just wasn't feeling all that motivated but I recently (31st May) went to London with Monique (http://monique-novales.blogspot.co.uk/), who will also be blogging about the day. I had so much fun, shopping, sight-seeing and spending time with my bestfriend and I also took a crap load of photos so why not show you?! I also posted a lot of the day on Instagram. Do follow me! @brittanyrosa

All hail American Apparel (and cry because it's so expensive)

Tried on some rather gorgeous mint disco pants. You will be mine.

Piccadilly. One of my favourite areas in London!

Sneaky AA purchase. Not the disco pants, unfortunately!

My only buys of the day. 

-MAC msf in 'soft and gentle' - £21.50

-AA watermelon vest - £26

I am in LOVE with both

I look extremely worn out but ah well, it's cute!

Taking a lil stroll. I love how in sync we are

Tower bridge baby

Hope you enjoyed seeing a few little snippets of my day!

I am fully back to blogging now my exams are over (for a bit anyway), I just need ideas so if there's anything you want me to talk about, do say!

Nails of the day: Revlon All Fired Up ❤

Hello beauties!
Today's post will be showing you my current nails. Revlon's All Fired Up is a vibrant classy red. I've always overlooked having red nails because I just see them as boring but I am in love with this colour. I love how glossy the finish is and how it compliments any skin tone. I just wish I didn't have to take it off tonight (school tomorrow!). You only need two coats for an extremely opaque colour and I would say the drying time isn't bad either. This can be found in any drugstore and I think costs aroung £5-6. Out of all the reds I've tried this has been my fave and I would highly recommend it.

The last photo is a bit random but I watched Clueless today and I had completely forgotten how much I love this film. It's like the original Mean Girls. Love, love, love. My nails kinda made me feel like I belong in the film too, isn't Cher just fabulous?

Speak soon,

Britt

Snow day! ♥

Hello girlies, if you live in England I'm sure you already know but.. IT SNOWED! I woke up this morning, checked the school website and screamed, I love snow days. Instead of lying in I decided that I would film for my main channel so I have the weekend free to do whatever (which will mean revising, fab) but I am happy with my new video and it might just be my best one yet!

 I didn't actually get out in the snow until about 2:30. I went out in my onesie and wellies, looking lush! The bunnies even had a hop around, too cute.
I will eventually do some beauty posts, I just love sharing chunks of my day with you all, mainly photos!

Hot chocolate is definitely a must for cold days, as you can see I go all out with whipped cream and cute mugs! Hope you had a lovely day, whatever the weather and if you're in England, making the most of the snow

Love to you all

Britt

Nails of the day: Essie Bikini So Teeny ♥

Hello! Today I have a NOTD post for you all :-)
I purchased Bikini So Teeny by Essie back in September but I've only recently started wearing it. This may come across as slightly negative but as soon as Christmas is over I just get so excited about Spring so I love pastel and bright shades!

This colour is super pretty, it's a lavender/periwinkle blue shade with a really, really fine micro shimmer. It is very opaque which is what I mainly look for in a nail varnish. Although I only own two Essie nail polishes as they are quite pricey (£8) they are by far my favourite nail polish brand. The brush is great too as its wide so it doesn't leave you with any visible streaks.
This was unfortunately a limited edition shade so its not available in stores anymore but I'm sure you can find this online!
Now onto some photos! Ignore the condition of my nails, they weren't filed very well, I know!

Have you tried Essie? If so what's your favourite shade?

Tell me in the comments!

Things that I'm loving! ♥

Hello beautifuls, I thought I would share with you a few random bits 'n' bots that I love at the moment. This will be sort of like an October Favourites but for non beauty and fashion related things.

1 | Red Hot Chili Peppers
Since I was little, I remember jamming to the rhcp with Dad so I suppose it's kinda of nostalgic listening to them now. I particularly like 'Scar Tissue', 'Dani California', 'Suck My Kiss' and 'Snow (Hey Oh)'. It's all just good chill music that doesn't get old.

2 | Disney Classics
Again, another trip down memory lane. The Disney classics are just so freaking cute! Today I watched Lady & The Tramp. It's funny how you just remember little things from the films that make you smile. Some of my faves are 101 Dalmations, Peter Pan and Snow White. They just brighten my mood and they're perfect films to watch on a rainy day.

3 | Fairisle Print
Traditional fairisle prints just remind me so much of Christmas! Primark are definitely the best for getting fairisle fix. I recently bought a gorgeous knitted jumper and these cute socks! I'm wearing them now and they're extra thick and warm. At only £2.50, they make perfect little gifts.

I hope you enjoyed hearing about some of the little things that are making me happy at the moment,

tell me yours?

MUA Review and Swatches

MUA is one of my fave drugstore makeup brands, ever, mainly because their products are only £1. They have also brought out a 'studio' line where the products are £2+, however I have stuck to their regular line. I thought it would be useful to do some swatches of these lovely products and tell you a little about them..

Eye products

Their eyeshadows are some of my favourite things from MUA simply for the pigmentation and creamy texture. They are definitely worth buying and I can't wait to buy some more. I also like the fact that there are different finishes on offer, including 'Pearl' and 'Matt'. I have 4 of them in shade 4 - a gorgeous shimmery lilac (Pearl), 2 - A golden icy white, perfect for a highlight (Pearl), 20 - A straight up matt black (Matt) and 12 - The most awesome colour, ever! In some lights it shows up green, some brown. Similar to MAC's Club (Pearl)..

Next is their liquid liners, I have shade 5 which is just a plain black. This is alright but I won't be purchasing it again as it's lasting power is awful and it is kind of flakey :( It was okay for a £1 but I think I'll invest in something a little better :)

The last eye product is their eye dusts. I only have 1 but I really, really like it! They are very similar to Barry Dazzle Dust, but a quarter of the price. I'm sure they are also comparable to MAC's Pigments. I have shade 5 which is a pretty, grey toned chocolate brown with subtle shimmer, very similar to MAC's Satin Taupe. The packaging isn't great for these because there is just one small hole in the top of the container which makes it kind of tricky to get the product out but other than that, this is great product and I need to buy some more!

Annonyingly I forgot to photograph this but pics will be up within the week :).

Face Products

The only face products I have tried from MUA are their blushers, which I bought mainly to boost my blush collection but I actually ended really loving them. I bought 2 althought I could have bought them all because they were all gorgeous! I bought Shade 4 (A pretty, shimmery, coral pink) and Shade 2 (A pale pink with very subtle shimmer). They are so silky and pigmented and I can't wait to try out some more :)

Lip products

I own 2 lipsticks from MUA and I like them both a lot, however they do have a few flaws.. They are decent pigmentation, fairly sheer but they do show up! I love the fact they are glossy as it makes them soooo moisturising, unlike a lot of mt other lipsticks. The packaging however, is awful because when you wind up the lipstick, it is really wobbly. At first I thought it was just mine but it turns out most of them are like that. Another flaw is they come across a bit too shimmery on the lips. They don't look that shimmery in the tube but they really are they make my lips look a tiny bit 'old lasy-ish!' Apart from that I do like them and I am sure I will purchase a few more. I have Shade 2 (A beautiful berry colour, with a lot of shimmer) and Shade 7 (A pinky coral shade).

So, overall I love MUA and except to see the brand popping up a lot more!

All of the products are available in Superdrug, online and instores for just £1
