So you quote love unquote me /Well, stranger things have come to be
Today I am feeling quite crappy. Yesterday I started feeling very headachey and a bit feverish, and this has continued today. Boo. So, since my brain feels full of cotton wool, I thought I'd indulge myself by creating a wishlist of stuff I would like to acquire sometime - either things I have never tried, or things I already know I like.
Last updated: 9 July 09
Books, DVDs, CDs
Mostly, these can be found on my Amazon wishlist, which is kept reasonably up to date. If you know my full name, you should find me easily enough!
Jewellery etc

Bathing Beauties
I LOVE SCRUBS. And BUBBLE BATH.
Black Phoenix Trading Post:
Not fussed about soaps - my BPTP S-N soap smelled of little :( But I'd love bath oils! I really wish I had more l'Estate - I got a decant and it's BEAUTIFUL! (Note: I've just purchased a bottle, so that's not so urgent. I like the sound of Gula.)
Lush:
Bubble bars: all, EXCEPT Green Day and Karma
Melts: all
Butters: Aqua Mirabilis, Schnuggle
Smoothies: Creamed Almond & Coconut
Lip balm: Happy Talk, Honey Trap, Lip Squeak
Massage: Amazonian, Soft Coeur, It's a Pleasure Treasure, Black Magic
Also: love Christmas specials!
I'm not as much of a Lush fanatic as many of my chums, but I am a fan of their bubble baths, most definitely. Not too fussed about ballistics (what is a bath without bubbles?), and I don't find their shower or hair products much better than anyone else's.
Villainess:
Scents: Antihero, Byzantium, Canaan, Crushed, Decadence, Dulces en Fuego, Ginger Snapped
Most interested in lotions and scrubs - I don't wash with soap.
The Garden Bath:
Interested in scrubs, lotions and lip balms in foodie scents.
Haunt
scrubs and body oil
Blooddrop
Mousse de Bain and body lotion and Glisten! See below for scents.
Otherwise, in the bathing world, I do like "top end" stuff, or things with a fun retro twist!
Scent Me Softly
Yes, perfume, the Big Category! Divided into perfume house, and then into "already love" (i.e. I'll take a big bottle ;)) and "haven't tried" (a.k.a. "maybe a sample is best")
Overall, I tend to like perfumes that are:
- smoky, mysterious, sexy, warm, naughty
- soft, foody, spicy, sweet
- feminine, floral, fresh, airy, bright
I don't like perfumes that are masculine, heavily woody, overly fruity, overly sweet
- Notes I HATE: patchouli, aniseed, jasmine
Wiggle
Want more of: Speakeasy Vanilla, Maya
Try: Querida, Maggie, Nicosia
Don't bother: Honeysuckle Tea
Possets

Kiss and Make Up
I love makeup, so you're likely to please! Don't worry about buying me foundation/powder though! Unless you have lots of cash to spare, in which case I like Bare Escentuals (shade: fairly light) foundation.
Barry M: I will take any Barry M eyecolours, pretty much! I love these, because the pigments are so strong. Their Dazzle Dusts are awesome!
Pop Beauty: Glow and Highlight powder, Conceal and Correct powder
Bare Escentuals: I swear by their mineral make up. Various UK online retailers sell this brand now. I use the foundation in Fairly Light (and Light in summer when my skin's slightly less white!). I also love Mineral Veil and Soft Focus in Pure. Would be interested in trying their Radiances, Prime Time, Smoky V Eyes, and the kits Beyond the Basics and Get Started Eyes.
Benefit: I love this brand.
Already love: Big Beautiful Eyes, Boi-ing, BeneTint, High Beam, Color Plump
To try: That Gal, Justine Case, Miss Popularity, Bad Gal Lash, 10, Rush Hour, Cupid's Bow, Moon Beam, Hollywood Glo, Kitten
Pout: I haven't tried this brand, but it's so cute! I'd try most of this stuff :)
B Never: I'm mostly interested in their eyeshadows, and largely because the pots are so darn cute! I have a green and a blue, but that is all.
Urban Decay: a really awesome brand. Very rock n roll. I have the silver skull compact - fun!
Would like to try: Urban Survival Kit (I have a weird weakness for makeup kits); Midnight Cowboy & Heavy Metal set; Deluxe eyeshadows; Ammo Shadow Box; liquid liner; Eye Effects kit; Primer Potion; Ink lip stain; Lip Envy; Body Powder in Honey
Interested in r/etailers not available in the UK.
Flim-Flam
I like candles, particularly in foody scents. I have an oil burner so scents for it are welcome. I like strange and quirky things, and things with a retro-pastiche bent (e.g. Anne Taintor). I don't really like cutesy things - anything with fluffy kittens or teddies and the like. But cute-quirky (like crazy Japanese things) are fun! I enjoy eating candy from around the world. I drink a lot of black tea. I think green tea is vile. Fruit teas are ok, but herbal teas are a bit too worthy. Peanut butter is awesome. I like glitter a lot. Jewellery should either be rock and roll or discreet and pretty. I can always use more hair accessories. And one can never have too many handbags or shoes. Stationery is one of the best things ever - you think pens are dull? Pass them on to me! I hate aniseed and liquorice. And bubble baths rock my world. I always want more brightly coloured/patterned tights, and I have a jones-on for Sock Dreams and mytights.co.uk. (My feet are a UK 4.5.)
