On Sundays

As it is currently Bank Holiday we have gone back to the boyf's for the weekend. The first glasses of Pimms have been had, which essentially means it is nearly Summer! I hope you are all enjoying a nice Bank Holiday and here are some things I've been enjoying this week. 

We have recently started watching Taskmaster on Dave. Ohmyword, it is so funny. Greg Davies gets comedians to do completely stupid and ridiculous things. Definitely check it out! 

Speaking of programmes. In The Club on BBC. It's Series 2. Seriously, catch up and watch!

This video of Tube lines as People is also really funny. 

I've recently been lusting over all the jewellery on Oh My Clumsy Heart.

I had my eyebrows waxed by Benefit this week. As part of #BoldisBeautiful you get a free Gimme Brow with every pre-booked appointment in May! Hurry!

I've been reading a lot of articles about drinking more water. This was a great piece.

Some of these Nora Ephron quotes are priceless.

Have a great weekend!

On My Summer Beauty Wishlist

What with Summer slowly, slowly inching closer, I have been seeing a whole host of new beauty releases that I have been adding to my mental wishlist. With today as my deadline day (2 essays down, 1 Dissertation down!), I thought a great way to celeberate would be to compile all of these into one list for you! 

Just choosing which to actually buy (first...) is the next question...

Summer Beauty Wishlist by superkarina5 

1. Everybody loves the Nars cult classic Orgasm. And this summer they are releasing a giant version of it! Available in their Covent Garden store from June (and online) I cannot wait for this to be released, especially with it's new detailing and packaging!

2. Mac's current summer-esque collection is Vibe Tribe; the packaging is quite a bit different from the standard black and of the products focus on brightening your look. I love this Glam Tones Powder in Dunes at Dusk. The colours are so pretty!

3. This Narsissit Cheek Studio looks incredible. I just want to play with it.

4. It isn't news that Benefit are re-launching their Brow range. With all new packaging I cannot wait until these aer released 24th June! Gimme Brow has always been on my wishlist but even more so now with the new packaging.

5. Brow Zings will soon come in way more shade colours! Really just another reason to buy it!

6. The Goof Proof Eye Brow Pencil, (complete with spoolie) will also come in a wide range of colours and this I really cannot wait to try.

7. The Cheekathon Palette. Less than £45 and all you could ever ask for from Benefit in terms of cheeks. 

I realise this was essentially a list for cheeks and brows...clearly I have my priorities set!

Pay Day Purchases

Pay Day Purchases by superkarina5 featuring Lorna Jane

Sooo Pay Day for me isn't actually until next Thursday...but there are a few things which I would just really love to buy right now.
Firstly, Benefit are now allowing us to order our own Hoola Bronzer with our name on! (See what I did with my editing there??) Nothing ever has my name on, so I most definitely need to look into this. It costs £5 more, here, but when it comes to named goods, for me, there is no price I won't pay!

Recently in San Francisco. my mother, sister and I all had our nails done. I went with a really gorgeous dark maroon Essie colour; it looked so nice and stayed on my toes for soso long (it still ligners!). I really want to then find the exact colour so that my feet can forever look that lovely. However do you think I remember what it as called? Nope. But I sure will have fun perusing Essie colours looking for it!

My gym game is en pointe right now. However I desperately need a sports bra; any one. I will take any one I can find as long as it fits! If anyone has any suggestions of good ones that are on the cheaper side I am open to recommendations!

What are you currently looking to buy?

Autumn Favourites

This is one of my favourite times of year, (despite the cold dropping to below double digits and it being pitch black dark before half 5). Autumn make up and clothing, I feel, is definitely one of the best. After all the bright and sunny colours of the Summer, everything moves into much more darker, warmer tones.
As I love Autumn, I thought I would share some of my favourite Autumnal products!
