August wishlist

I didn't do a wishlist post last month because I had done quite a bit of shopping and there wasn't anything else I really wanted, however this month it's not the case and there are few things I have been eyeing up . . .



First up, I've been looking into buying a wireless speaker system from Panasonic because in the summer I really like to blast my music, plus the speakers on my laptop aren't amazing so I definitely should look into getting some external speakers and these ones are wireless which makes them a bit more practical. I really like the sleek, black design of the SC-ALL3 speakers and it looks quite small as well so it would be pretty easy to carry around and even travel with. Also, these particular speakers have mostly 4 and 5 star reviews on Amazon so they seem to be fairly popular.

Next up is something that was on my Spending Ban wishlist that I did a while ago and that's the Tangle Teezer (in pink, because pink is cute as heck). I said it at the time and I'll say it again, I'm not happy that they spelled it like 'Teezer' - shoddy spelling doesn't go down well with me, but this product seems to go down with a lot of people on YouTube with thick hair, which is something I have. I don't really like brushing my hair that often because it goes really frizzy but not curly at all (if you've watched some of my older YouTube videos, most of which are unlisted now, you'll see what my hair looks like brushed and it's not pretty) but before I wash it I have to brush it to get all the tangles out otherwise it'll go all matted and horrible, so I thought this would make the job a lot easier. I feel like spending about a tenner on what is essentially a brush to be quite expensive but for a really good product, I think it's more of an investment.

Lil secret - I've never used a primer before. I'm very skeptical about additions to the beauty industry, I've been treating primer as a more expensive moisturizer and I still believe these fancy setting sprays are nothing more than glamorized H2O (correct me if I'm wrong, I just hear so many people saying they don't do much for them), but it's summer and I'm tired of makeup separating on my oily areas so it's time to try a primer. I quite like the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation (even though the shade range gives me problems as with most drugstore foundations) and I've seen quite a few good reviews of the Lasting Finish Primer, so I thought that'd be a good one to start out on - but if you have any other recommendations, please tell me!

I really love trying different brow products and after hearing quite a few good things about the Maybelline Brow Satin Eyebrow Pencil, I've decided I've got to try it. It seems a little Brow Wiz-esque but for a much smaller price tag, plus I'm quite intrigued by the eyeshadow sponge side too - if I get it, you'll definitely hear more from me on this one . . .

The last thing on my list is something that's been majorly hyped up in the YouTube world mostly by makeup artists, and it's the Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder. The reason I want to try this is because I've been majorly into cooking my concealer ever since I discovered it was a thing people did, it's essentially revolutionised my concealing life but I usually do it with a translucent powder, and I've heard that using a yellow toned powder would help brighten up that area also anywhere else where you might want to highlight. I never thought to look it up because I thought it'd be crazy expensive but it's actually only about £13 (sans delivery) for a big jar which I don't think is too bad at all, so I'm definitely hoping to order this at some point!!

What's on your wishlist at the moment?
