OK so I’m sure most, if not all of you are aware that I’m going to San Fransisco next week. I am so very excited. I have been there before 7 years ago and I’m excited to go back. It is such a beautiful city and the shopping is amazing. So in honour of that I’ve put together a few things I hope to buy whilst I’m out there.
1. Sephora CC Cream 30ml $26 – I’m yet to try a CC cream so I thought whilst I was In America I would get this Sephora one. I have quite a lot of redness in my cheeks so I’m hoping this helps cancel that out.
2. Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette – In The Nude $26 for 10 shadows – This baked palette is right up my street. I love the texture and finish of baked shadows and these are all quite neutral colours and they are what I tend to reach for most often. This palette gets quite good reviews and I am excited to swatch it.
3. Makeup Forever Mist & Fix Spray 125ml for $29 – I am running low on my Mac Fix + and I wan to try something new. I’m undecided whether to get this Makeup Forever Spray or the Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray.
4. Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush $26 – I have my eye on a couple of colours, Tipsy, Blushing Bride and Dollface. So we will see which ones I buy once I’m there. I have heard great things about these so I am very excited to finally try them out.
5. Marc Jacobs Rollerball Trio $38 – OK so I may be a little too excited to get a few rollerballs whilst I am in Sephora. I have no idea why these don’t get released in the UK & I hope this changes in the future. But I will be stocking up on a fair few. Along with this Daisy set I also want to try the Fresh Beauty Set.
6. Tarte Tinted BB Treatment $34 – This is meant to be a moisturiser, primer, light foundation, antiageing treatment, and sunscreen all in one so that’s some big claims. I will put it to the test!
7. Maybelline Baby Lips $2.99 – I have 2 of these already and love them so will buy a few more but the picture of these in my wish list really represents the fact that I want to go to some American Pharmacies or Drugstores to buy a few things. Especially a few Wet n Wild things and some of the Drew Barrymore line Flower Cosmetics. I am so excited to go to Target & Wallgreens.
If you have any must have US beauty buy suggestions for me – please let me know!
My Sephora wishlist is forever expanding. I can’t wait to get my hands on some Tarte goodies and I also want to check out Fresh skincare, Josie Maran Argan Oil and Becca Beach Tints.
I would love to try the fresh lip balm and scrubs. Physicians Formula are another brand that I’d love to try. I think perfume roller balls are so cool and much better than carting a perfume bottle around with you! X
Nice wishlist!
I asked my friend in NY about the Drew Barrymore range and she said it was just okay, so maybe read lots of reviews before spending the $ on it. I decided not to get anything in the end.
Make sure you check out the Milani Baked Blushes (review of one is on my blog) – they are lovely, compete with MAC mineralised one and win in my opinion. Milani have gorgeous liquid liners that are really pigmented and dont budge, another fave of mine (review on the blog)
Also check out NYX items, very well priced in the US, the cream and powder blushes, lippies and single shadows all stand out in my opinion and they are much cheaper in the US than they are here.
Check out the Maybelline colour tattoes- they have shades in the US we will not get here 🙁 and if you miss out on Baby Lips – dont worry, we are getting them in August
Hope you have an amazing time! xxx
Sonia Kashuk in Target for brushes. Excellent quality and good value for money. Have a lovely time!
I have some great things about Sonia Kashuk & will be checking out their stand in Target for sure!
I get so excited by American products! RT @LTBeautyBlog: See what Id like to buy whilst in America
Have an amazing time! That nude palette is so pretty! xx
I swear, I’ve been dying to get my hands on everything in this wishlist. I hate that we don’t have rollerballs here, I once saw a Juicy Couture one in Debenhams, but I’ve never seen any other brands come out with them.

They had such a selection in Sephora. I really hope they come to the UK I think they would sell so well.
