What I Am Lusting After – My High-End Beauty Wishlist..

The life of a sometimes-beauty-blogger is a difficult one – yet again, I am lusting over a ridiculous amount of new make-up, with so many recent high-end new releases that have all caught my attention.

We all have those beauty products we swear by, the products that we rave on about to our friends, our ‘holy grails’ that we just couldn’t live without. There are products that I’ve used for years and years, as well as products that I’ve only more recently discovered, but I swear by them all – I couldn’t live my day to day life without any of them!
