Get in My Closet ASOS Sale Dresses

Get in My Closet ASOS Sale Dresses

I assume you all know there is a great sale going on at ASOS right now and if you go on the site you will want to buy all the things. If you didn't I'm sorry I told you cause now you kind of have to check it out right?

Anyway I have made one order already and I am contemplating a second one which is just really not necessary but whatever. Let talk dresses cause thats the only thing I wear anyway.

1. Long Sleeve Check Shirt Dress- I am kicking myself I didn't see this when I made my previous order. It would be perfect to give off that autumnal vibe without melting in Dubai sun. Love the colors and the length cause I could belt it and it would still not be too short. This is one of the reasons I am considering an second order.

2. Fit and Flare Dress with Metallic Dogtooth print- I know this one could go either way cause metallic fabrics can look cheap sometimes. However on the ASOS video view I still like it. Such a cute Christmas party dress ( yes I said it..I said Christmas party..its coming!).

3. Sequin Midi Skater Dress- this disco dress is already on its way to me. I couldnt resist it even knowing I probably dont have anywhere to wear it. But I thought for the sale price its OK even if I just put it on at home and feel happy. In reality I'm sure I will find a place to wear it to I dont mind being overdressed. The crazy all over sequin fabric in combination with midi lenght drew me in and when the second picture showed an open back (which is by far my favorite way to show skin- I'm not a boob or leg girl. I'm a check-out-my-low-cut-back type of girl) the order was made in a matter of minutes.

4. 50's Belted Prom Dress-lets me honest this is just a very me dress isnt it. I love fabric belts and the cut is like all my other dresses. It just seems to be great fabric and quality and the price on sale is fabulous. I really want to get it but.. since its sleeveless and low V cut front and back I cant really wear it to work and I dont need any more going out dresses until I start going out more. But maybe you should order it and I can live vicariously through you?

5. Ruffle Skater Dress- if a second order shall "accidentally" happen I will be adding this dress to it. It is a perfect dog walking dress. Yes that is a separate theme in my wardrobe. I just think it looks cute and comfy for home lounging and weekend beach trips.

6. -7. I already own both of these dresses and they are much loved and worn. Hence when I saw them on sale I thought I would notify you in case you want to add either to your collection. You can see me wearing the Black Debutante Midi Dress in this post. Second is the yellow Warehouse Pleat Detail Dress I have worn so much this summer. I did a post about it here. I think you should just buy both of them to be honest!!

So I shall get back to work now and stop shopping. But what do you think? Any of them worth a purchase?

Get In My Closet- Midi Dresses

Get In My Closet- Midi DressesI have been actively filling my Saved Items folder on ASOS lately. Before I order anything I love hearing your thoughts and just having a girly chat about dresses. 

1. ASOS Textures Dress Dress With Halterneck - it was of course the pastel hue that made me stop on this but halterneck is new in a dress for me also and I'm feeling it.

2. ASOS Cutwork Skater Midi Dress- please do me a favor and click on the link and view the photos of the back because talk about an awesome dress. All midi and proper in the front (the cut work makes it look expensive also I think) and sexy and interesting at the back. Open back is my favorite way to show skin by far. I'm really digging the cream color for summer also.

3. Self Portrait Off Shoulder Heavy Lace Midi Prom Dress- Everything Self Portrait makes has my attention in a second because it is just soo freaking beautiful. I like this cut even better than the spaghetti strap one I once posted. The light pastel colour, the fabric, the deeo V and pretty much everything else about this is what my dress dreams are made of. If I had one wedding to attend this summer I would be clicking Buy right now but no one I know is getting married so I dont have a excuse to spend the cash.

4. ASOS Premium Bonded Scuba Pleat Midi Dress- Funnel neckline and pleats is all that is needed to have me loving a dress.

5. ASOS Premium Satin Cross Front Midi Dress- I'm hesitating on the satin but I am loving this simple cut for a day time work dress. Maybe satin is not a bad thing? It has such a nice waist line and I love the frill sleeves. Easypeasy and on sale also.

6. ASOS Midi Dress With Twist Wrap- Recently I have realized I do need a few more black dresses for work events where I need to look pretty but not overly attention seeking (think poofy pink princess dresses and pastel lace midis I love so much). I think this one is very basic but I love the twist wrap front and flowy feel.

Lets talk dresses. Which one do you like the best? I am having the itch to get a new dress..

The Repurchase List

The Repurchase List

I love trying out new products and I obviously like hoarding makeup. There are however a few products that I will immidietly repurchase without thinking twice.

I usually make a note in my phone when one or another is starting to run low. I find buying them thoroughly unsatisfying because I have used the same product in some case for years. At the same time these work for me and I am not interested in experimenting all the time. My list in the phone was getting rather long meaning almost everything above is about to finish or finished making little room for new stuff in this months budget so instead of a new red lipstick (who am I kidding I will probably find a way to buy a new lipstick also) here come some of my essentials:

1. Bioderma H2O Micelle Solution- I am not completely loyal to this because occasionally I try other micellar waters. Every other time I will go back and purchase this and there is often some offer in pharmacy's here so I stock up. I have figured out that one thing that was messing with my skin here is the harsh water so I skip washing my face with water in the mornings now and clean with micellar water instead. This one is great cause you can put makeup on immediately after, it doesn't leave any residue on the skin and everything feels fresh.

2. Loreal Eye & Lip Make-up Remover- I have used this since high school so we go way back. I believe it was my dancer days when I was looking for a remover that takes off glitter, eyelash glue and other heavy duty stage makeup, wount make me weep at the price and doesn't irritate my eyes. This one fit the bill and I have stuck with it ever since. Dancer days are long gone but I still often wear waterproof mascara and some of my lipsticks will stay on forever (hello Sephora Lip Stain!) unless proper remover is involved.

3. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray- yes this one has made it to the list. This stupidly expensive but miraculously effective spray. To be honest I have given up stressing out about the price and just surrender to the fact that there is nothing else like it. So off to the mall I trot the moment my can starts feeling light because there is too many unused texturizing sprays in my bathroom cupboard all bought in the hopes of finding a cheaper dupe. They do not do the same thing! At least not on my fine poker straight hair and in this weird Dubai weather. So I will forever buy Oribe because it is amazing!

4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion- I didn't always use eyeshadow primer. You can actually read about me discovering it here last year. Well as I say in that post primers are my new BFFs and used every single day this same tube lasted me for a year. Its time to get a new one now and as much as I'm curious how the NARS eye primer is I think I will stick to UD one. Its served me so well and helped me through all the humidity and sweat Dubai can bring without a crease on the lids.

5. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray- another one that lasted for ages but needs a repurchase. Once again I will have to mention the cray summer humidity that will have makeup running into your cleavage for 4 months of the year. Its not the most exciting product but it works and it keeps my t-zone matte and my foundation on and I can still see a hint of blush on my cheeks after a long work day.

6. Clinique Airbrush Concealer- mentioned on the blog so many times you are probably bored of it. As much as I do still buy various concealers for "market research" purposes I have a special kind of love for this one. I always repurchase it and I am on my 4th I think. It is awesome and even when my under eyes are dry and wrinkly (it does happen sometimes) this doesn't settle in fine lines and helps to really illuminate the dark circles.

7. Clinique Moisture Surge- again I will keep trying other moisturizers also but currently love this for mornings. I will finish my first pot of it very soon and have written into the repurchase list. I find a lot of moisturizers even if I do love them tend to make my foundation go oily faster than normal whereas this one just feels fresh and sinks into skin super fast.

I would really love to know what are the products on your repurchase list? Do you use any of the ones I listed and what are the brands you relay on over and over again?

Get In My Closet- The Expensive Taste Edition

Get In My Closet- The Expensive Taste Edition

I do not own many designer things-I have a few bags,2 pairs of shoes and a pair of sunglasses that can be categorized in that department. I would love that department to grow substantially but at the same time I do feel a little nauseous when thinking of the prices. I do not take these purchases lightly and you will never see me getting something high end on an impulse (unless its a lipstick..I have no self control when it comes to lipsticks). Thats what ASOS is for in my world.

In theory I understand that if I did not order from ASOS every month or feel compelled to buy all the things from Zara I could probably eventually buy one if not more of things from the above image. But I am so flaky when it comes to committing and saving some money unless its a trip or bills that need to get paid. I will be all good until another midi dress pops up in ASOS New In folder and that's where it ends. Half of the things I feel I "need" are obviously forgotten in a few months but then there are those few that have stuck with me.

Here come some of my real lust list items:

1. 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli Medium Satchel Bag in the shade white peach- I have always eyed the Pashli bags but it wasn't until I saw this pastel peach shade in person that it became an obsession. They stock it in Harvey Nicks in Dubai and I go to whisper my love to it every time I pass that store (I understand how that sounds but I gotta tell the truth to you). When I first laid my eyes on it I practically ran to it and cradled it in my arms like a baby. Only to realize I am still in a mall and that might be a bit much. This is a true story!

2. Valentino Rockstud Ankle Strap Pumps in nude leather- these haunt me in my dreams. They come in a array of rainbow colors but I would like basic nude leather just to make sure I could wear them with as many things possible. I have gone into the Valentino store in Dubai Mall a few times now just to make sure I still like them and yes..yes I do.

3. Valentino Rockstud Ballerinas in patent pastel pink- swooooooon.. and swooon some more. As much as I adore the pumps I know I would get so much more wear out of flats. And if we do the only math I like, the cost per wear math it would be like totally a bargain right?

4. Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage Eyeshadow quad- it is an expensive eyeshadow quad with brown shades I do not need. But I really really want it soo bad! That is all.

5. Miu Miu Noir Cat Eye Sunglasses- my latest love but a strong one it is. The whole new Miu Miu sunglasses collection is super cool but these tortoiseshell forties-style frames are funky and feminine and my favorites. And its sunny every day in Dubai surely that is a reason in its own to invest in more sunglasses right?

Whats your favorite item from my list? Is there something here you have or have been wanting to get?

I would love to know what is on your Expensive Taste wishlist.

Get In My Closet- ASOS Saved Items

Get In My Closet- ASOS Saved Items

I have been soo good as in haven't ordered anything from ASOS from a while. This however does not mean I'm not window shopping and adding everything into the Save Items folder. So I figured I could show you some of my favorites and maybe you can give me your input on which ones should I definitely order?

 1. ASOS Pretty Floral Placement Print Blouse (Link)- I just got a pair of cool high waist navy pants from Zara and I think paired with this blouse it would make such a great work outfit. I love white tops and blouses but sometimes its nice when they have a little detail or color on them also. Easy way to make an outfit interesting. Just imagine with a red or a bright pink lip with this shirt!

2. Whistles lace Trim Crop Tee (Link)- and the pastel obsession continuous. I adore this top- the color, the lace detail, the cut everything works. What doesn't work is Whistles prices. I dont think I can cope with the 160eur?! Its not worth it..or is it?

3. ASOS T Shirt with Hangry (Link)- YES! This one I have to get! If there is a dictionary with hangry in it they might as well insert my photo next to it. There is no denying my full bitch mode is on when I get hangry. Its just a fun tshirt to have.

4. River Island T-shirt (Link)- as basic as it gets but my current striped tee is getting really battered and I love the pocket and trim on the collar. Loose fit would be nice for a jeans/converse kind of weekend outfit.

5. ASOS Pleat Detail Top (Link)- another white top with some detailing. I'm always into the pleated midi skirts so why not a pleated top this time. My only concern with this one is that you probably cant tuck it into bottoms and that would limit me to wearing it with just black skinnys. Then again it would look fantastic on jeans.

6. Self Portrait Azaelea Midi Dress In Textured Lace (Link)- OMG this dress! The moment I saw this new brand Self Portrait in ASOS New In folder I was all over it. So many pretty dresses but this red one has to me my favorite. The low back and the thin spaghetti straps if it only wasn't this expensive. However husband if you are reading this..this dress would make an EXCELLENT gift for your wife!! (size 10)

7. Fashion Union Midi Skirt In Floral Broderie (Link)- broderie is one of my moms favorite fabrics. I always know she will pick up a broderie top for me to try on if we are shopping together. This skirt would just suit into my wardrobe so well. I actually do not own any white midi skirts. Crazy right?

8. ASOS Premium Bonded Lace Skirt in Floral (Link)- well is there a point for me to justify why I want this? Its a weighty midi that I do not need in Dubai heat but I love it anyway. I like the color combo and all you need is a white tshirt for an instant outfit.

Let me know which ones should I get? Or do you have some other interesting items in your Saved folder that I should take a look at?

Get In My Closet Slogan Tees

Get In My Closet Slogan Tees

Get In My Closet Slogan Tees by thelauracarlson featuring white tops

Let me tell you a little story.

When I was 13years old my friend and I went to a t-shirt store to have slogans printed on our chosen styles. Mine was a skin tight cream white sleeveless turtleneck and I chose to have "Talk to the hand cause the face isn't listening" printed on the chest. Badass right! I sure as hell thought so and wore it everyday until the printing peeled off. You see things like slogans tees weren't all that accessible in Estonia and the choice was rather limited to colorful tops saying Love or Friendship on it. And that is just not cool enough for a 13year old Laura apparently! 

Anywaaaaay..

My love for slogan tees is still there only that nowadays I prefer to wear them under a blazer or tucked into a midi skirt if out of house. I have a few favorites to show you.

1. Cat hair is the new black- I mean this is my life summed up on a lovely grey tee. And if you dont agree with the statement you better not come visit our house. You can find it here.

2. Feline Meow-  I have been lusting over this one for years. There is numerous cheaper copies of it online but the original can be found here. I think this one would be a super versatile piece that doesnt only have to be worn while dog walking.

3. Don't Worry Be Yonce- yes well I have talked about the subject of Queen B before and the fact that I LOVE HER. I have loved her for many years and I would totally like to Be Yonce.

4. -5. Sweatshirts- Do I ever wear these out of home? Nope. But they are cute and I want one! Find the I Woke Up Like This here and the classic Shopping is My Cardio here.

Which ones do you like best? Do you ever wear statement tees? I'm really tempted between 1 and 2.

Get In My Closet ASOS Skater Midis

Get In My Closet ASOS Skater Midis
So tomorrow is a boring day as it involves a lot of airports and flying. What is entirely not boring is the destination- New York baby! Ohh I simply can not contain myself!

Regarding my vacation to the big apple I was on a spending ban until I can buy (as Simone would say) ALL the things in NYC. However Simone also wore a superduper pretty skater midi dress to our last get together which swiftly sent me to browse ASOS the next day.  I hadn't opened the site for a month so I was kind of taken by how many gorgeous midi dresses are in stock.

The only thing I could do was play window shopping with you guys. So here is my currect 'I want them all' skater midi dresses:

1. The dress that started it all Textured Midi Skater Dress with Floral Print (Link)- take a look how gorgeous Simone looks in it and you see why I want it. In real life this dress is so good quality, it has beautiful weight to it and I love the color!
2. Picnic Skater Dress in Texture (Link) - The V-neckline and the way it nips on your waist is what get me with this dress. Plus I always feel so pretty in white dresses (until I spill my lunch on them but still).
3.  Crepe Bardot Prom Dress (Link)- this is a dress I never thought would catch my attention. I dont own a single item of red clothing and generally never gravitate towards them. But every time I look around on Asos I end up looking at the catwalk video of this. I think I could totally work this with a red lip for an ultimate feminine combo. And it ticks all the boxes of fitted waist, box pleats etc etc..
4. Pleated Cami Midi Dress (Link) - we have addressed my obsession with pleated anything before. This beauty has been in my Save Items folder for some time. I love the bright color and the back detail equally as much as the spaghetti straps and the thin pleating.
5. Premium Embroidered Skater Dress With Blue Flowers ( Link) - well this one is just swoooooooon. Be sure to zoom in on it on ASOS to see the pretty embroidery. Also lets not forget to address the existence of pockets which instantly rockets any dress on top of my wishlist. Top this off with a collar and the details of a button down front and I will have some midi dress dreams for days!
6. Sunflower Bardot Midi Prom Dress (Link) - lets finish it off with this total babe of a dress shall we. Mad Men all the way this one is a bit more on a costume side of things but I personally love that. Its freaking expensive (95£ / 135Eur) which is why you dont see it hanging in my closet. Its a special dress but I dont think I would get to wear it enough to justify the splurge. Still a girl can dream..

So which one is your fave? Like in the case i dont find anything to buy in New York (hahaha yes I know this is fantasy talk) and I return home with all my money in the bank. Which one should I order?

P.s. there will probably be a bit of a silence next week. I will try my best do a few posts but its New York you know. So I urge you to join me on Instagram ( @thelauracarlson ) as it will get much more regular updates.

New York Shopping List Makeup

New York Shopping List Make Up


So there is not long left til New York. We are talking less than a month and the excitement is real people!
I have been before since my sisters used to live there but its 3 years from the last trip to my favorite city and I miss it dearly.

Dont you worry the above products is just a few from the long long list I have been putting together. And in true Virgo style I have separate list for skincare and for lipsticks. I will of course not get everything on all the lists but I like knowing what I'm looking for. These 6 products have been on my mind for a while.

1. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation (Link)- I have never had this and I have always wanted it. I have chosen countries to live in poorly cause they often dont stock NARS and I'm scared to order online as I dont know which shade will work best. NARS is coming to Dubai in October but there is no way I can wait that long.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz (Link)- It says you can define your ideal brow shape with Brow Wiz. I want to do that!

3. Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hours Blush in Natural Beauty (Link)- I love the formula of this blush I have it in a nude pink shade called Exposed. Its so long lasting and I keep reaching for it over my other blushes. This rosy red shade is missing from my blush collection.

4. Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish in Dusty Rose (Link)- ohh I dont know. Its a foil finish eyeshadow that had a rose gold finish. Does it need more explanations?

5. Kat Von D Tattoo Liner (Link)- I love eyeliner and I use it most days of the week. Even if I dont feel like using eyeshadow a little eyeliner will often be there. I also love the videos of Claire Marshall from Hey Claire and she has raved about this liner numerous times. This is one of the first things that will go into my basket at the holy day that will be forever refereed to as The Visit to NYC Sephora.

6. NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Dione (Link)- Yeah lets just say one of the NARS stores in NYC is gonna get hit bad. You can believe me this is not the end of my NARS wishlist. But its high on the top of it. Based on swatches these new eyeshadows that you can use dry or wet look pretty amazing. 

 Me and my sisters are discussing of doing a little spa day in Mario Badescu and I am still not decided if I should focus my shopping on a new pair of shoes or a new handbag?

Also makeup wise please do suggest amazing you-must-buy-this products I should be looking out for while in New York? And is there anything on my list you have tried and it didn't impress you? 



Recommendations are highly appreciated.

Get in my Closet Lipstick Edition 2


Get in my Closet Lipstick Edition 2

I am on a fast spiraling path of becoming a lipstick hoarder and I have no regrets. At least it is a product I use a lot(not like the weird crazy eyeshadow shades I buy convincing myself I will SURELY start rocking an orange or a green look!). The ever growing lipstick wishlist is getting ridiculous so I thought I will show you the most wanted beauties. (You can see the first edition of Get In My Closet here).
 
Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in Incandescente-this is a hot tomato red from the reformulated Rouge Allure collection and I'm dying to try it. I love the original Rouge Allure but this one promises to a bit more hydrating. My current reds collection is mostly blue toned true reds so this warm punchy option is much "needed". I fell in love with it in 2sec when I saw it on Keira Knightley in this post.

Kevyn Aucoin The Matte Lip Color in Forever- First of all I have never tried anything from Kevyn Aucoin and secondly it looks like an awesome pink shade (I have come to this conclusion after looking at numerous swatches online). It promises to be velvety and nourishing matte lipstick so whats not to like.

Clinique Long Last Soft Matte Lipstick in Matte Mandarin- this one has been making the rounds on beauty blogs lately and everyone has only good things to say about the formula. In my mind I have already decided that Mandarin will be mine in the next few days. It does seem like a perfect orange and as mentioned before I'm a bit obsessed with orange lip lately. I have high hopes to cross this one off the list asap.

Nars Semi Matte Lipstick in Schiap- a shocking fuchsia pink if there ever was one. Its no surprise this shade belongs to the top selling list of Nars. Its a special kind of bright and wearing shades like that makes me feel all "try and stop me" confident. I think it will be purchased on the NYC trip in August cause there is no way I can wait til November which is when Nars finally comes back to Dubai.

Tom Ford in Wild Ginger- this one already made the cut in last Lipstick Edition and it is still there at the very top of my list. The orange based red that mesmerizes me again and again. I just haven't been able to part with the pile of cash needed to get it.
 
Do you have any of these shades? I would like to know if maybe some on the list are not worth it? Or am I right and I need them all...

The Midi Dilemma?!

The Midi Dilemma?!

I need help!

More specifically please help me choose which midi-skirt do I need? ( I obviously also need help as after owing 5 midi skirts I still feel like I need more but lets not concentrate on that today please)

Instead I have chosen 5 skirts on ASOS I love and cant choose from so please let me know which one you like the most. I really should not get more than one..really really shouldn't! I mean we need to buy a sofa for the new living room. Although..the guests could forever sit on the floor and I will just float around in 10 different midi skirts..that might work also?!


1. Full Midi in Cotton- the cut seems pretty basic but look at the color..the color is so refreshing. I dont own anything in similar hue.

2. Midi with Crossover Front-the scuba fabric, the pastel blue color, the front spilt!! How pretty is this skirt? And you could show a little leg..

3. Full Midi in Leather Look- Im not sure about the fake leather material but the pale yellow color just haunts me. I imagine it being pretty heavy material so could be dreamy right?

4. Pleated Midi- nope. The obsession with pleated midis has not gone anywhere. I already have the same cut ASOS skirt in coral and black so I know its a great shape. The question is do I need a brighter than sun yellow option? 

5. Full Skirt in Leather- in all honesty I am not allowing myself to buy this one (hello 200euro!!!) still I cant help but adore the real leather, the color, the gentle pleating and pockets. This is a real gem but soo freakin expensive.

Which one is your favorite? Seriously guys I need advice before I order one..or two..or three!!

Get in my Closet Shoe Edition

Get in my Closet Shoe Edition





I'm in a place right now that is dangerous for my wallet. Like really really dangerous. Mainly cause my imaginary shopping list of shoes I want is longer than usual.

Lets get at it:

1. Zara Strawberry Sandals ( Link )- I have yet to try them on but the heel height sounds right, 8 cm is usually something I can still pull off without pain or discomfort. It will depend on how well they stay on as there is no strap etc. I dont own any pink clothing ( unless its pastel pink) but I do love a bit of pink in shoes or accessories. Investigation will be done this weekend at the nearest Zara store.

2. BCBGMAXAZRIA Gamma Mesh Booties ( Link )- I have had my eye on these booties for more than a year. Laura has them and swears they are comfortable. Booties that are soo flattering and cool at the same time. I was soo happy to see them stock these again this spring but the price is holding me back a bit. I might cave soon enough thou..

3. Club Monaco April Metallic Pump ( Link )- these golden leather pumps are such a basic choice but I love gold metallic paired with pastel colors. It has the 9cm heel,the same as my DvF shoes which is the highest I can do for daily use. They would probably get the most use out of all my current shopping list favorites.

4. Club Monaco Erika Snake-Effect Flats ( Link ) - My sister sent me a link for these flats cause she has impeccable taste and knew I would love them. Pointy flats are my favorite! So beautiful and classic and.. did I mention beautiful? The big bow is so fantastically a la Valentino and the nude snake embossed leather would look amazing with anything. I want them soo bad!

5. We Are Handsome Tiger Espadrilles ( Link )- I have never owned espadrilles before but how super cool is the tiger print? Thanks to the black and white colors scheme they would be totally wearable and easy to match with different summer outfits.

So which ones are your favorite? Maybe you can help me narrow it down to 2 pairs I should definitely get?

Get in my Closet Lipstick Edition

Get in my Closet Lipstick Edition

My lipsticks are mainly berry tones.. there is variety from dark to fuchsia and many other pinks in between. Pink/berry tones are my comfort zone.I have gotten a bit bored with all of them so currently I'm lusting over reds and nudes. This is my wish list:


Chanel #99 Pirate -a long wearing full coverage satin finish. I keep picking it up whenever I snoop around the Chanel counter. Its a blue red and makes your teeth look whiter than white.Basically its a classic and I kind of need it.

Nars Dragon Girl- Now these Nars Matte Lip Pencils are my favorite matte lip product ever.In the world. I absolutely adore my Red Square and Cruella so Dragon Girl just seems like a nice addition to the family. They don't sell Nars in Dubai so I have never gotten to try it on. This promises to be another blue toned red.

Tom Ford Wild Ginger- this one is swoon worthy. I mean firstly I don't own any TF lipsticks yet and I so so wish I did. The luxury point aside this color is just amazing! The previous two are classic reds but this beauty is orange based however on lips its much redder than in the tube. Its a proper bold and bright color and I'm mesmerized by it. I mean like I could stare at it for hours kind of mesmerized..

Mac Peach Blossom- I have yet to try this one on as the counter at mac said their tester had been stolen (this really must be a killer good lipstick!!) But I have seen it on various blogs and it seems a pretty peachy nude thats not too beige.

Tom Ford Spanish Pink- I have saved the best for last. This is actually the one Im lusting over the most. Let me be honest I didn't even notice it at theTF  counter but then Laura wrote about it and I got to try hers recently. I mean WOW. This is such a stunning color once on the lips. Its something else I tell you..


So yeah..I need new lipsticks. I think I will reward myself with at least two from the list soon. I have created this rewarding thing in my head by the way. Its not just buying a new thing its rewarding. Things I have rewarded myself in the past for include eating salad for lunch three days in a row or making it to crossfit more than twice in a week etc.. you get the point. Its the little things.


Anyway..Do you own any of the above? Is there one I totally should not waste money on?
