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!

Kiko | Moon Dust Face Powder - Cosmic Starlets

I think that this is one of the most beautiful face powders I have ever seen. Kiko recently opened in my home town (!!) and when I first saw this I instantly fell in love with it.

It is one of Kiko's Illuminating face powders from their Cosmis Starlet range. The packaging of all of these products is also gorgeous; even the boxes feel lovely! The powder is set in a gorgeous octagonal red box and has a decent sized mirror inside. The powder is then surrounded by silver which just offsets the powder itself beautifully.

And then the feel of it. Oh my. It is so smooth and soft; it just glides onto the skin and sits perfectly. It feels so lovely just to touch, let alone wear! It then has a beautiful colour; this is in Mysterious Pink. It is kind of like part Nars Orgasm and and peach and MAc Vanilla Pigment but just looks beautiful on the skin. It's a baked powder so has that extremely soft and pigmented touch, so a little goes a long way! It's available in two shades, but this one is definitely my favourite. 

Even better, it's currently 30% off so is under £10! The whole collection is also limited so grab it whilst you can! You can get it here. 

All of this range looks beautiful, but I definitly think that this is a must have from the collection; if only just to look at!

What are your thoughts?

Post Essay Treats! | Oh My Haul

So firstly I must apologise for my lack of blogging of late; The Kazlight Anthem had to take a seat on the back burner for a bit whilst I worked on my four essays. As a student first and foremost I do have to prioritise my work! After finally submitting them last night (there's a 1/4 of my degree gone eeeekk!) I felt today was the perfect time to do absolutely nothing at all except treat myself to some new beauty purchases.3 for 2 offers are both heaven and hell for beauty addicts; I went in to The Body Shop to get one thing and yes, came out with 2 other things...

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in 02 fair matte. I saw this bad boy in a recent collaboration with essiebutton and Fleur De Force; Estée said she used this as it was the perfect non brown/orange bronzer which sounded perfect to me! Being from Essex I aim at all costs to avoid any sort of orange or overtly tanned look so this seemed the perfect solution.

As I said 3 for 2 is a dangerous business...

Amelia from Liana Beauty raved about this product (here) and I had been eyeing it up ever since. Despite the fact that I reeeeally didn't need another cleanser...but I am very excited to try this Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil.

                                                  

I gave up trying to align this...

The final product I picked up was the Extra Virgin Minerals Loose Powder Foundation, SPF 25 in shade 102 Natural Ivory. I really liked the sound as this, as I just mentioned, I'm really not a fan of the very foundationed/-orange face and so really fancied trying a powder foundation. You shake the pot and a small amount of the foundation comes into the top section meaning you only ever have out as much as you need.

This eyeshadow just looked such a lovely colour and the formula felt really nice to try and was so pigmented! I got the shade Platinum Beige and this is the L'Oreal Paris Colour Appeal eyeshadow.

Now I already love these; they are the Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoos and these are incredible. The colour is amazing, the formula is great and they last for ages. (The bit I tested on my hand has still not washed off after numerous attempts!) Not to mention, they're only £4.99 so are a complete bargain! This is the colour On and On Bronze and it is the most gorgeous bronze colour.

And finally I picked up on the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Shadow Sticks. Now I don't really know why it took me so long to pick one of these babies up; Fleur De Force talks about them a lot and they always looks so nice! and are again, so cheap! I picked up the shade 011 Bluffing (can you see a colour theme here...) It's another gorgeous taupe-y brown shade.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the few bits that I picked up and once again I apologise for my lack of blogging! Hopefully this will keep you going for a little while whilst I sort my life out!
Also, currently to join the Love Your Body Body Shop Membership thing... it is currently free for students! I'm not sure if this is in all branches or for how long but this means you get 10% off your first purchase and from then on!

Have you been loving the 3 for 2 offers?

Sleek Blush - 'Rose Gold'

I just hadhadhaddd to make a post about this blush; it is absolutely gorgeous! I bought it after seeing it on a couple of other blogs and thought I would go and check it out. I fell in love with it instantly. It is a lovely pale pink rose colour with hints of gold (hence the name...well done Karina) and it looks so nice on as well. In some lights it just looks like a kind of damson shade, but then in the light the gold hints sparkle and it just looks beautiful. 
If you're looking for a new blusher I definitely recommend this one. Everyone raves about Sleek blushers; now I know why! 

Sleek Blush - 'Rose Gold' - Superdrug £4.49

What are your favourite Sleek blushers?
