After hearing every beauty YouTuber rave about the By Terry Ombre BlackStar eyeshadow sticks, I was eager to purchase some but with their expensive price tag, that was a no go. But I didn't lose hope, as I'd heard the Kiko Long Lasting Eye Shadow Sticks were a great dupe and at £6.90 & 30% off in the new Brighton store, I wasn't going to say no!
'Long Lasting' is an understatement. I had a million and one swatches on my hand when I left the store, but obviously I had no make up remover on me! After two washes, with hot soap and water, they. would. not. budge. I had to really rub at the to get them off my hand, yet with make up remover they come off like a dream. So no harsh rubbing on your eyes!
The shades that really caught my eye were 05 - Rosy Brown and 07 - Golden Beige - a rose gold and a bright white gold. Shimmery and ever so beautiful. They're super easy to apply and you don't have to be too neat with the initial application as you can use a brush to blend. Unfortunately the shade that doesn't blend very well is 07, but as it's my favourite, I'm persistent and I make it work! That shade really makes your eyes pop!

With the amazing shades and great price tag, they're definitely a good addition to your make up collection if you're not wanting to splash out on high end brands!

I'll tell you want I want, what I really, really want...
(Couldn't resist a Spice girls reference*, sorry)
'Enjoy The Simple Things In Life' Cushion H&M - I'm collecting up bit for my room in my new flat and this cushion would be perfect on my bed. Lovely little saying to keep me positive.
KMS California Tame Frizz - I have the frizziest hair. Not quite an afro, but pretty frizzy and sometimes it can be a little un-tame-able! I like to blowdry my hair so I need to ban that frizz sometimes! Apparently this stuff is perfect for taming it.
BeautyMarks 'The New Makeup' - These look super cool. Gold foil tattoos. Perfect for festivals and holidays. I bet they look great with a tan.
Missguided Pierina Geometric Print Playsuit - I love the colours in this playsuit, the clashing, yet at the same time matching patterns looks so chic. Also a very flattering neckline!
KIKO Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow - I've really wanted to buy the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow sticks, but at the steep price of £28 from Space NK I couldn't bring myself to do it. These KIKO dupes apparently live up to the hype so I really want to get my hands on a few.
Big Spoon, Little Spoon Pillow Cases - Love at first sight with these! Definitely going in my new room in September! I'm sure I can't be the only one whose boyfriend always make them be the big spoon?!
What items having you been lusting over recently?

*Apologies for that spice girls reference, I'll admit it was awful... haha!
