Looking at my massive spreadsheet which houses my wishlist for our trip to Canada next week, which includes a day trip to Buffalo, NY to go to Ulta for me and to go for buffalo wings for my husband! I feel like my wishlist has starting to get a little very out of control. If I was to add up everything that I have on that list that I'd like to buy, it's well over £1000.
Time to tone it down.

My first cut left me at £700. On a second attempt I've got it down to £300 and something.
I don't think that either of those are really that work-able, so I need to change it completely.

I'm going to break it down for you. I've listed my MUST buy items in Canada and America, things that you can't get in this country or is very difficult to get in this country. Then I've listed the things that I'd like to get, if I can scrape together my last few pennies! In reality, I can get pretty much everything on my list in this country, at a push and sometimes at a cost.

Get ready for the list. And lots of pictures.

Must Buys in Canada

I'm planning on getting these from Sephora, and they're roughly in order of importance.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette

This palette, I've seen so much about it, it looks GORGEOUS. And I think I can save over £10 by buying it there, which isn't too shabby.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Exposed

   I am desperate to get my hands on these, I'm thinking Exposed, Natural Beauty and maybe Tipsy or Blushing Bride. But there are SO many colours that look amazing. And I think savings of around £7+ make these worth buying whilst I'm away.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush

 Again, these can be bought here, but they've just released a ton of new shades and so I'm hoping to pick at least one up. I'm not sure whether I should be buying too many though as I don't really get on with my NYX liquid lipstick...

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

This palette. A saving of around £16 makes it more than worth picking up there. I've got to try and avoid being tempted into getting singles of the Ambient Lighting Powders or the strobe ones.

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush in Snapdragon This looks AH-mazing in the pan!

These aren't available in the UK yet, so I'm pretty tempted.

Must Buys in the USA

These are all from Ulta, and I'm praying that they'll have all the things I want at the ULTA we're going to. If they do, I'm definitely having them all!. I might go to Sephora there too, but I think it'll work out slightly cheaper in Canada, but I guess I need to think about what the Canada Sephora doesn't stock that the US ones do...ideas?

LORAC Unzipped Palettes

LORAC Unzipped Palette

 These palettes are just amazing, I want them so much. I'm praying they'll have them. I'd probably go for the Unzipped over the Unzipped Gold if I had the choice, but ideally I'm thinking both!

BECCA Afterglow Palette

BECCA Afterglow Palette

 They still have this at Ulta online, otherwise I can only find it on Amazong for £50! If they have it I might cry.

Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Eyeshadow Collection

Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Eyeshadow Collection

I've tried a couple of times to get this from Rose's Beauty Store, but as soon as it comes into stock it goes so quickly that I never have time to pick it up!

Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Collection

Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Collection

 Debenhams told me that they will be stocking this once it's released in the UK, but I dread to think how long it will be out of stock for...plus, as with the blush palette, it's slighty cheaper.

Possible Buys (in Canada)

I think this depends how much I spend on clothes and just how carried away I get generally...

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop

 I've now got Moonstone and Pearl (on the way), but I feel like I should buy Champagne Pop over there as it's just more special.

Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe

Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe

Debenhams are supposedly selling this, but it's always out of stock. And slightly cheaper over there than here.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits (Gleam and That Glow)

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in Gleam

I NEED these. I'd save around £7 which isn't too bad.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in That Glow

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Mother

Again I'm not so sure about getting on well with the liquids, but I feel like I have to pick up one, right?

Hourglass Primers

Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer

 The travel sized ones have quite a saving on them, so I might pick them up for a trial. I want a new primer...

Tarte Tartiest Lip Paint

Tarte Tartiest Lip Paint in Namaste (I think!)

Back to liquids...same old, same old!


Ideally there is loads I'd buy. I've decided not to get any contour kits, as I just don't think I'll use them. I'm tempted to buy ALL the BECCA Products, but since I found them in Space NK I think I'll skip them for now. Similar story with Hourglass, although they are quite a saving over there...

Why can't I just buy EVERYTHING?

I'm also thinking about the possibility of picking some things up in Duty Free on the way out. MAC lipsticks are always on the cards, plus I do need a new Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray.

It's definitely interesting to see how it compared with my original wishlist, which I posted in January. It's pretty consistent, which I guess it pretty good!
