American Beauty Wishlist | Cookie Bow


Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog!

I am very excited that in the Easter holidays I am going to New York! I've never been to America and I can't wait to see the sights, eat the yummy food and go shopping. A lot of the things I'd like to get are beauty related so today I thought I'd share my American Beauty Wishlist with you. If any of you are going to America and are into beauty I hope this gives you some ideas on what to get...

- Revo (Strawberry or cookie dough)
- Softlips cube
- Cake batter chapstick
- Green apple caramel chapstick mixstick
- Pack of 2 softlips sticks (jelly bean, birthday cake or salted caramel)
- Baby lips that are only available in the US (like the crystal edition)
- Baby lips lip gloss
- Nyx butter gloss
- Nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk
- Nyx infinite shadow stick in rose gold
- Nyx dark circle correcting concealer
- Covergirl mascara
- Wet n Wild lipstick
- E.l.f eyeshadow palette
- Pocketbacs
- Pocketbac holders
- Bath and body works 3 wick candle
- Bath and body works body spray
- Bath and body works pocketbac pump

That's everything on my wishlist so far! I know I've probably missed a couple of things so if there are products you think I should get from America or if you live in American and can suggest anything then that would be great:)

See you in my next post,

Beauty Products To Try In 2016 | Cookie Bow


Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog!

I haven't posted for such a long time and I'm really sorry about that. One of my New Years resolutions is to blog more, hopefully once a week. I might also redesign my blog a little by changing the colour scheme and banner because I think I could make it look a bit more professional even though I am not the best at webpa

Today's post is going to be a list of various beauty products (mainly make up) that I would like to try this year. There's so many things I've seen in 2015 that I wasn't sure whether to buy or not, but I'd really like to try some new products this year so here they are...

1. Make up setting spray


I really noticed how popular make up setting sprays were towards the end of 2015. Once you've finished your make up you just spritz the setting spray all over your face and it will keep your make up fixed all day. I'd really like to try one of these because it will keep my make up in place whilst I'm at school and when doing sport.

2. Hightlighter


You probably saw that in 2015, lots of make up artists and beauty gurus used a technique called contouring and highlighting. The highlight is applied to areas where the sun would naturally shine on your face and gives your face a nice glow. I'd really like to try a highlighter whether it be cream or powder.

3. Eye Shadow Crayon


I'd really like to try an eye crayon because they look easy to apply and there is a great variety of shades to choose from. I'd especially like to try the NYX Infinite Shadow Stick as I already know that NYX products are great quality and the eye crayon comes in a rose gold shade.

4. Eye cream
I've never tried an eye cream before but I'd really like to add it to my skincare routine. I usually get dry, tired eyes and I recently read that you're not supposed to use your everyday moisturiser on your eyes. That's why I'd like to try an eye cream to hydrate my eyes and to be more wide awake.

5. Invisible Dry Shampoo
My current dry shampoo leaves a white shaft on my hair so I was looking for something that doesn't do that. When me and my friend were in Superdrug I found this Colab sheer and invisible dry shampoo. It has a really nice floral fragrance and I will definitely be purchasing this soon.

Those are my top 5 beauty products that I want to try in 2016. Comment below what you will be trying this year!
