Exciting New Beauty Releases

I guess I could call this a bit of a wishlist too, as I'm actually excited about every single release I'm writing about! I feel like the beauty world has absolutely exploded with new launches over the last few weeks - why is this happening when I'm trying to save money for my maternity leave?! I may treat myself to a couple of things here, but I thought I'd share the lot with you nonetheless, so here are the beauty launches I'm most excited about at the moment.

My New Look Maternity Picks

Black skater dress / Blue stripe top / Ripped skinny jeans / Blue stripe shirt / Floral chiffon shirt / Cream frill trim lace top / Black sleeping bra / Floral wrap front dress 

If you read my Body Confidence in Pregnancy post, you'll know that one of the things I've done to improve my confidence with my changing shape was to invest in a few pieces of proper maternity wear. One of my favourite brands has come to be New Look. It's definitely the best brand I've come across in terms of good value (I'm was seriously praying that Primark would come out with a maternity range, but no such look) and some of the pieces are really pretty and flattering. Here are some of my favourite picks after having a little mooch on their website recently.

New In Beauty Wishlist

After what I think was a bit of a lull, there have been loads of really interesting beauty releases recently. With payday yesterday, and my birthday less than a couple of weeks away, I'm hoping to get a few things crossed off my wishlist with some serious shopping over the next few weeks! Here's what I'm currently lusting after.

My Current Wishlist

This is definitely not the most affordable wishlist I've ever created but, what can I say, I have expensive taste at the moment! I'm not sure when I'll actually get chance to cross any of these items off the list, but it's nice to dream! Here's what I'm currently lusting after....

New Look Winter Wishlist

The "problem", if you can call it that, with losing weight is that you get to the stage where some of your old clothes begin to look ridiculously big! After having a sort out of my winter wardrobe recently, I've realised I am now at that stage. Whilst some things, cosy winter jumpers for example, can be passed off as oversized, some things just really do need replacing. I'm going to hold off for a while, and see what I can get in the sale, but that hasn't stopped me having a little browse on the New Look website recently, so I can get an idea of that I might want when I come to do my post-Christmas shop. I haven't shopped in New Look for the longest time, despite it being one of my favourite stores, and I remember them having a great winter sale last year, so I'm hoping I can pick up some good stuff. In the meantime, here's what I'm currently lusting after...

Payday Wishlist

Today is finally my payday! It seems like forever since the last one - probably because I've spent most of the last month broke! But now I finally have a little bit of cash to spare, it's time to treat myself. Here are a few things I've been lusting after recently.

Home Decor Wishlist

Gold Spot Plate / Wall Plaque / Cat Cushion / Hanging Heart Frames / Plant Pot / Lamp 

Gold Spot Candle / Ceramic Box

New Look Wishlist

It's been over a month now, but I've still got £10 leftover on a New Look gift card from my birthday. I have to admit, when I went in to spend some of my birthday dosh last month, I wasn't massively inspired by anything I saw, and some out with just one blouse, so I thought I'd have a little look online and see if anything caught my eye to spend the last of my funds on.

My Birthday Wishlist

So next Monday is my birthday and, much to the annoyance of my family, I've been struggling to come up with ideas for what I actually want. It's always the way and, as I usually go shopping on my birthday anyway, most of my family will put money in my card for me to spend on the day. I've been having a little think over the weekend and here are a few of the things I think I'll be spending my money on.

Spring Wardrobe Wishlist

So spring is on it's way (ish) and the shops have started stocking up on their shorter sleeved tops and pretty pastel colours. I really can't wait to start wearing spring clothes - I'm getting a bit bored of wrapping up in big fluffy jumpers now, so I've been having a little browse and have found a few items I'd like to add to my wardrobe this spring.

Accessorize Wishlist

A couple of weeks ago I was having a wander around Fosse Park and noticed that Monsoon/Accessorize still had their sale on, so I thought I'd go in for a look around. Whilst nothing in the reduced section took my fancy, I did notice that there were a lot of lovely new things in there (typical, I always want the full price stuff!). Unfortunately my bank balance prevented me from buying anything at the time, but I've got a few things in mind for when my next payday comes around.

January 2015 Wishlist

You might notice a bit of a theme with my wishlist this time around - everything is pretty much high end! I guess it's because I tend to just go out and buy the more budget friendly items that catch my eye and leave myself with no money to treat myself to any of the more expensive items I've been lusting after for so long. A lottery win would be really handy, but failing that I plan to save my money a little more to allow myself to treat myself to the odd item above.

Topshop Autumn Wishlist

Finally autumn is here! Autumn is my favourite season for beauty and fashion. I love whacking out the darker lipsticks and layering my clothes, but you don't get the nasty chilliness of winter. Having done a bit of shopping for my autumn wardrobe in New Look and Primark already, I thought I'd take a look online and see what Topshop had to offer. And of course I couldn't resist a cheeky snoop around the beauty section while I was there!

Beauty Wishlist - August 2014

As you can see, my beauty wishlist is pretty hefty at the moment - and this is just the top of my list I'm showing you! Reading lots of beauty blogs means I get tempted by so many different products, something my bank balance tends to hate me for. Some of these products are quite pricey, so I'd imagine they'll be staying on my wishlist for quite some time. But hey, Christmas is only four months away...

Next Home Wishlist

For some of our wedding gifts, we were very kindly given quite a lot of Next vouchers. Unfortunately, as we rent our house, we are not allowed to do a great deal in terms of redecorating, but I do like buying little bits & pieces to make the place look more homely. I've recently been having a little browse on their website & Polyvore, and found a few pieces I'd like to spend our vouchers on.

Spring Beauty Wishlist

Taking part in Twitter chats and reading so many blogs means I have produced a pretty huge wishlist of beauty products I want to try out - if I showed you them all, trust me, we'd be here all day! Rather than boring us all to death with the longest list in the world, I thought I'd show you just some of the things that have made their way to the top of the list over recent weeks.

Currently Loving - Mint Green

 

New Look Wishlist

I haven't been on a big New Look shop for a long time, which is not like me at all - usually you can't keep me away from the place. But I'm trying to be kind to by bank balance and spend a little less at the moment. That doesn't stop me from looking though, and I found these beauties whilst browsing online.
