Wishlist: Big Smokey Eyes & Spot Zapper

Happy Wednesday! I'm drooling over some eye products that I think will create the prettiest bronzed smokey eye this week, and 1 product that will (hopefully) zap the nasty spot or two.

1. Benefit "They're Real!" Mascara
Expensive but soooo hyped. I like the idea of its little tip with fibres to catch the lashes in the corner of your eye. Adds length but most importantly, this will help create the lovely fanned out lash effect. Hopefully it is as promising as it claims! Once I'm done with my MUFE Smokey Lash I will be giving this one a try. 

2. Tarte "Call of the Wild" Palette

This lovely palette is kind of Tarte's version of the Urban Decay Naked Palette - which I already own, both Naked 1 and 2... This one caught my eye because of 1. the lovely matte colors, and 2. the nice cooler neutrals. Excuses-of-a-beautyholic aside, this is actually really similar to UD's Naked Palette, and I do not need more neutral eyeshadows.... Girls with some extra bucks, please get this and let me know how it is! I'll live vicariously through you!

3. Lush "Grease Lightning"


Shocker alert - I've never tried any Lush products before. I know, I know... how could I have not jumped on this bandwagon? Lush has been HUGE in the beauty community for years now, but somehow the overly loud packaging and strong scent in stores have made me pass up on it in the past. Another reason is all the apartments I've lived in in the past few years do not have bathtubs, which meant I couldn't use any of their bath bombs... what they're most known for. But when I heard Michele1218 (one of my favorite Youtubers that I've been watching for a long time!) talk about Lush's Grease Lightning, I felt the need to look into this. 

I'm still in my usual blog-readin', makeupalley scrollin' phase of research that I do whenever I am pondering over a skincare product. But it seems like people either loveeee this or hate it. I do like what I'm hearing though - tea tree oil, grape seed oil, aloe vera... what's not to love? I'm probably going to give this one a try after I finish up my Origins Spot Treatment (which I reviewed here). Exciting stuff!

**UPDATE: Shopping ban fail. I snapped and got the Lush Grease Lightning today. Oopsies :D Desperate attempt to justify my purchase Review to come soon after I test this baby out a bit!**
