May Beauty and Fashion Wish List
This is a big month for wishes! I'm going to blame it on the weather prematurely starting winter temperatures; it has been freezing for the last few days. Which means I need some new winter clothing, and to up my skin care regime to make sure my skin doesn't get too dry. Of course there's a few unnecessary wants thrown in there too, but I can't help myself!
Beauty Products
1. Smashbox Contour Stick Trio - $59AUD
I've been wanting these for a while now, but Mecca doesn't stock them yet and, as far as I'm aware, there are no other Australian stockists other than online stores. Mecca have informed me that they will be launching the Smashbox Contour Stick Trio from 26th May in all Mecca Maxima and Kit Cosmetics stores, as well as online. I can't wait to try them!

2. Smashbox Photofinish Primer Water - $44AUD
3. Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer - $36AUD
4. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser - $28AUD
5. Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner - $30AUD
6. Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - $41AUD
7. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel - $28.50AUD
8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz - $26.80AUD
Fashion Items
1. ASOS Structured Shopper Bag with Removable Clutch - $55AUD
I actually want this in black, but Polyvore didn't have the black image. It also comes in white, brown and blue, and I honestly love all four colours. I love a big, simple, structured bag, and this is all of those things. I've been searching for one to replace my current handbag, which I love so much but is falling apart.
2. MOTO Vintage Mom Jeans - $76AUD
I always see these jeans when I'm browsing Polyvore, and I think they look so comfortable. I'm a huge sucker for only wearing really comfortable clothes in winter, so comfort is key in anything new I buy. I've been wanting a pair of jeans that aren't super tight, but I'm too weary to buy any other styles online without trying them on first. This month I swear I'll venture into the city and finally go to the Topshop store.
3. Long Sleeve Ribbed Funnel Neck Top - $23AUD
As you know I love ribbed material and high neck lines, and I also love whites for winter, so this is definitely a top for me. I have a few similar tops like this that are cropped, which I'm trying to avoid buying more of, so I'm really hoping this is full length in the body. I'll have to try it on and see when I go to the store.
4. MOTO Winter White Ripped Jamie Jeans - $80AUD
As I said, I love white for winter, and this colour is specifically called winter white! I absolutely love white jeans at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to pull them off, so I haven't bought any online. These are another item that definitely require a try on before buying. Fingers crossed because I love them!
5. Luxe Seam Detail Ponte Treggings - $53AUD
Firstly, I think it's so funny that 'treggings' is a word now. It pretty much just means thick leggings; like ponte leggings. These are called ponte treggings so they must be super thick. I Googled 'treggings' and it said like 'jeggings' is leggings that look like jeans, 'treggings' are leggings that look like trousers. I don't know about you but I'm all for that! If I can wear pants that look classier than they are, while being super comfortable, I most certainly will. As long as they're thick and really hold you in, not like most jeggings which are atrocious and I just do not want to discuss them. These treggings are just simple and black (how many times have I said treggings now??).
6. Textured Neppy Joggers - $53AUD
No, I will not be wearing these for anything other than hanging out around the house or popping down to the shop on the weekend, but damn do they look comfy! Again I'd have to try the white before buying because white is obviously less flattering than black, but I love the style regardless. A little expensive for tracksuit pants though so these would be pushed off the shopping list before anything else. Also, I have no idea what neppy means, anyone?
7. Pintuck Treggings - $49AUD
Aw yeah, another pair of TREGGINGS! These ones are grey and have a 'pintuck' down the front and another down the back, which I think make them a little more interesting and look less like standard leggings. I love the colour of these because they're not a colour I'd ever wear jeans in, so they'll bring a little more variety to my pants collection. I know it's bad, but if I could wear ponte pants or treggings for every outfit I most certainly would. I can easily get caught avoiding my jeans, even though I love them, because leggings are just so comfortable! Whatever, it's winter, I don't care, leave me alone. :D
And that marks the end of my very, very long May wish list. I hope I gave you some ideas or inspiration for something you might like to treat yourself with. I'm a huge believer in retail therapy; playing around with a new beauty product, or debuting a new item of clothing always feels great! Plus, variety is the spice of life! OK I'll stop trying to make myself feel better about being such a shopaholic now. BYE!

You may have noticed that this product just keeps popping up in my wish lists. Unfortunately it hasn't been in stock at Mecca; online or in store, for a very long time. So I'm still patiently waiting to get my hands on it. One day!
Another product I've been wanting for quite a while now, that Mecca also hasn't had in stock virtually since the day Urban Decay launched. I'm wanting the colour 'light neutral'. My NARS concealer has nearly run out so I'm really hoping the Urban Decay concealer comes in stock before my current one is all gone!
I'm currently in the process of trying to improve my skin care routine, so am wanting to try out some new products. I recently bought the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturiser and am loving it so much. So, naturally, I want to try out some more of the same brand.
I'm also wanting to try out the Kiehl's toner because it sounds super gentle on the skin, which is exactly what I need, as my skin is very sensitive and prefers to have no products used on it at all.
This is the last Kiehl's product, I swear! I've heard quite a few people rave about this eye cream, and I'm a sucker for eye creams so of course I want to try it out. I have quite a bit of creasing under my eyes, which I really hate, so I'm desperate to find a product/combination of products that will combat them.
I have crazy bed head eyebrows that love to get as far away from one another as possible throughout the day, so a drug store brow gel just ain't gonna cut it anymore. I've accepted the fact that its time to get out the big guns and invest in a really good quality brow gel to tame my brows. I've heard amazing things about the ABH Brow Gel, and she is the queen of brow products, so I'm super excited to give this a go!
Of course to accompany the brow gel I have to try the ABH Brow Wiz. This is another product that I've heard such great things about, and I am an absolute sucker for brow pencils. I originally wanted to try the pomade but ain't nobody got time for that; brow pencils are so much faster and easier for me. I'm unsure of what colour to get at the moment, but am deciding between Taupe and Medium Brown.
