Wantworthy - the latest wishlist trend?

So you all remember Fantasy Shopper and the hype that surrounded it, the ability to 'buy' items of your choosing from all of your favourite shops and make outfits with them. I remember wishing I could add stuff from any site, and have everything organised into events, or summer/winter wardrobes.

Wantworthy gives you the opportunity to do just this! All you have to do is sign up then add a 'WANT' button to your bookmark bar, then every time you see something you like you click the button. Wantworthy then adds this to your virtual wishlist and cleverly detects the price, description, picture and category of item (dress, shoes, denim etc..).

Then on your list at Wantworthy you can see the items you want organised by store, category or group.

I really do think that this is a brilliant way of categorising the things on your wishlist. I'm in process of  creating a 'Uni Wardrobe' list of things I'd like to take with me in September, but I've also started a beauty wishlist and a hypothetical 'I'M REALLY RICH' list!

Hope you all enjoy using the site, and make sure to send me your Wantworthy lists- I'd love to see the things your little hearts desire!

My adventures into SLS and silicone free hair products!

I officially renounce my SLS and silicone stuffed hair care!

There, I said it. It's blog official now so I can't go back on my word. The more I read about how damaging these nasties are for my hair, the less willing I am to use them. I looked into the no-poo method, but I've decided to ease myself slowly into this way of life by starting on a low-poo program.

I've recently had my hair cut from very long and ridiculously dead to rather short but super healthy, so I'm looking to grow it back out in as good condition as possible.

From now on I'll be using shampoos and conditioners with no:
-Sodium Laurel Suphate
-Parabens
-Silicone

I'll be starting my adventures with the Body Shop Rainforest Radiance Shampoo, along with the Body Shop Rainforest Volume Conditioner. I'm hoping that these will help me escape the dull hair, itchy scalp and frizz that I've come to attribute to SLS laden products.

I'll update soon with how I get on - wish me luck! Also does anyone else have any recommendations of products I could use that you've got along well with, I'm all ears!

New make-up storage system.

Foundation - Samples
Skincare - Eyes
Blush, bronzer, highlighter, powder - Lips

Just a heads up that these three drawer units are only £4.99 in ALDI at the moment, they're perfect for make-up storage! I was worried that the drawers wouldn't be tall enough to fit my foundations, but they fit perfectly. They're even big enough to stand my huge 200ml Clinique Dramatically Different Moisture Lotion.

Although they're not the prettiest storage method, they're functional and I love that you can see inside each compartment. Definite recommendation!

Foundation for pale skin - Part 1 (with swatches and mini reviews)

Foundation, the ultimate base product. I've been searching for years for one which suits my ridiculously pale complexion. I've always found this type of post really useful, seeing which brands make products which will fit me!

As you see I've developed quite the collection, with prices ranging from about £4 to around £28. This year I've vowed to actually finish some products rather than getting bored and buying new things!

So, here's part 1 of this foundation journey, featuring MUA, Revlon, Rimmel, 17, Clinique and Elf.

(Swatches in corresponding order to the line up below)

MUA BB Cream in Light:
Greasy feeling and doesn't seem to sink in, no matter how much you buff it in. Colour is pretty good though, just a bit yellow.

ELF Tinted Moisturiser in Porcelain:
Orange and oxidates even deeper! Also made me break out.

17 Sheer Moisture in Light:
Colour suits my summer skin, and buffed in nicely. Gave a natural glow. I just wish it had a higher SPF than 12 so it could be my go to summer product.

Rimmel Stay Matte in 100 Ivory:
Nice neutral tone rather than pink or yellow, which is quite hard to find in drugstore foundations. Fair coverage but it felt clogging and quite heavy.

Clinique Redness Solutions in 01 Alabaster:
Heavy and dark. Slid around my face all day, even though it claims to be oil free.

Revlon Photoready in 002 Vanilla:
Good colour, good coverage and good lasting power - so why must it be packed full of annoying glitter?!

Revlon Colourstay in 110 Ivory:
The best colour so far - it's just a shame it's so heavy and clogging. Wearable when mixed with some MAC Fix+, but it just can't compare to Doublewear in terms of lasting power.

Stay tuned for Part 2 featuring Benefit, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Bare Minerals and Maybelline!

Have you pale skinned beauties found any perfect foundations, either drugstore or high-end? let me know!
