2017 Wishlist

Hello 2017!

After the longest blogging break I've ever had (it wasn't even intentional - honestly) I'm back. The New Year always makes me feel fresh and like it's time to get organised so hopefully I can work that with Abigail's World too. Towards the end of 2016 I got busy, moved from one job to another with no routine in place so my blog got pushed to the back of my to-do list. So now that I've got some time off before starting a whole new job (and career) I thought I'd spend some time writing for my blog. It's been so long that even Blogger has changed! So what better way to start off 2017 on my blog than with a wishlist of a few things that I'd like to treat myself to by the end of the year.

Marc Jacobs Daisy - I've always been a fan of Marc Jacobs perfumes and after trying a few in Boots the other day I think this one became my favourite.

Urban Decay Naked Palettes - Possibly the most talked about eye shadow palettes in the blogging world and I'm still yet to own one, I think my favourite is probably Naked 2 but having the whole collection would be amazing.

Canon EOS 700D DSLR Camera - If you follow me over on Instagram then you'll probably know that I'm getting quite into my photography, especially wildlife photography. But there's only so much you can do before you have to purchase a dslr, I've read up on a few different brands and cameras lately and this one seems to be quite good for the lower budget but I'm still not 100% sure which one I'd go for.

JML Simply Straight Heated Brush - I'm not sure if it's just me or if everyone seems to have released one of these brushes at the same time. At first I never really believed the ads that these were as good as they made out but after seeing some reviews lately they seem pretty good and I would imagine possibly better for your hair too.

Lush Wishlist

When I was in London a few weeks ago I visited the Lush store on Oxford Street and oh wow I never knew there was one so big. I don't think I'd ever been into a Lush store with more than one floor before! Although I wanted to buy almost every item in there, I only came out with my favourite product which is the Comforter bubble bar (blog post coming soon). So I thought I'd share some of the other things I was lusting after with a Lush Wishlist.

1. Pink Flamingo Bubble Bar - Bubble bars are my favourite Lush product but I haven't tried one of them on a 'stick' before, plus what's not to like about the pink flamingo design.

2. Whoosh Shower Jelly - I remember years ago I had a purple sparkly shower jelly and I had no idea that Lush still do them or brought them back out! The relaxing scent that this jelly has too makes me want it even more.

3. Milky Bath Bubble Bar - I was tempted to buy this bubble bar another one? I know I know but it just looked so cute and I've heard milky bath products are good for the skin so what's not to love?

4. Let the good times roll Cleanser - I actually received a sample of this cleanser when I visited the Lush store because I remembered how AMAZING it smelt from another time. It's based on popcorn and I'm not the biggest fan of popcorn (unless it's toffee of course) but I think it's my favourite Lush smell and I will definitely be purchasing this beauty when I'm employed.

5. Lava Lamp Bath Bomb - I didn't get to see this bath bomb in action whilst I was in store but I own a lava lamp and love them so I'm hoping this would be just as fun to watch as it dissolves.

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you're favourite Lush products are!

Boots Spring Beauty Wishlist

It's been quite a while since I've posted a 'wish list' to my blog, I use to do monthly wish lists which I really enjoyed but lately (or all year) uni work has taken over pretty much everything. I haven't been able to post anywhere near as much as I've wanted to so bare with me and I'll try my best to keep this little space on the internet updated as much as possible. So, as I haven't really been buying many beauty products recently I thought I'd give you a Boots wish list with a mix of both makeup and skincare.

 1. Rimmel Provocalips Lip Colour - kiss me you fool - Red lipsticks are and I think always have been my favourite of the lip products and this one claims to last for 16 hours which sounds pretty impressive so I really want to get my hands on this!

2. L'Oreal Paris Infallible Sculpt Foundation - L'Oreal Paris have recently released this infallible sculpt range which I have so far been hearing some good things about. I'm always looking out for new foundations to try as I feel like I haven't found the PERFECT one yet. My current favourite is the Revlon Colour Stay foundation although sometimes I can find it a bit too heavy.

3. Yes to Tomatoes Pore Scrub - Pore scrubs have to be the best of the facial scrubs. Anything that minimises  pores the best that they can has to be a good thing, and I also love that this product contains so many natural ingredients which I wouldn't necessarily expect to find in a face scrub.

4. Superfacialist vitamin c+ gentle daily micro polish wash - This daily wash is one that I've been wanting to get my hands on for years now, I've heard a lot of good things about the Superfacialist range and I think it's about time I went out and bought this product.

5. Collection #concealandlightlikeapro palette - I've been looking for some colour correcting concealers that are affordable for a while now and when I saw this I couldn't believe how cheap it was considering it has some pretty great reviews. It's only £3.99 for 8 cream concealers so I think if I get the chance to purchase this palette, there'll definitely be a review coming up.

H&M Homeware Wish List

If you're a regular reader of mine you'll probably already know my love for homeware, I love browsing websites for it, watching or reading hauls and of course buying a lot of it.... and I don't even have my own house! H&M have recently got better and better with their homeware items and my local H&M store don't stock any of it but I have no choice but to just browse online instead. So for this months wish list I thought I'd put a few of their items together that I've been lusting after to share with you.

Bath Towel

Moss-Knit Cushion Cover

Small Glass Vase

Burgundy Candle 

'Be Happy' Mug 

My favourite piece from this wish list has to be the mug, but you also can't have too many cushions or candles, especially as it's now autumn.

Autumn Fashion Wishlist

How is it September already?! September pretty much means Autumn is here, especially with the weather we've had lately, I feel like we haven't even had a summer yet. Talking of time flying by, this blog is now 2 years old as of yesterday so thank you to everyone who's reading this and has kept on reading. Anyway, here's a little wishlist of some of my favourite autumn picks so far.

Sleeveless Tailored Jacket - Topshop

Black Ripped Jeans - Topshop

Plum Roll Neck Top - Dorothy Perkins

Denim Shirt - Topshop

Black Cowl Neck Jumper - Newlook

Necklace - Hugo Sophia

Autumn fashion has to be my favourite but I'm really liking the sleeveless jacket the most and pretty much all of Hugo Sophia's necklaces look amazing.

Public Desire Wishlist

It's been quite a while now since I've posted a wish list and Public Desire are a brand which I've definitely been lusting after for so long now. Although I'm still yet to make a purchase from the lovely Public Desire, I'm sure this little wishlist is going to persuade me to go ahead and do it at last - especially those boots!

Priscilla Heeled Boots

Carrie Heels

Alana White Block Heeled Sandal

Kylie Platform Sandals

Rosa Block Heel Sandal

Melody Buckle Flat Shoes


The boots and the block heel sandals are my favourite two, what are yours?

Etsy Wishlist

I'm sure you've all heard of Etsy, but incase you haven't it's a website which you can have your own account or even business on. Where you can sell your handmade and vintage items and gifts. I'll hopefully be selling some of my own handmade gifts on there soon so keep your eyes peeled for that, but as I was browsing on there the other day I thought I'd create a little wishlist.

Above The Knuckle Rings - Jewellery is one of the most popular things on Etsy, in my opinion at least, so I had to pick out at least one piece to show you. I love these above the knuckle rings and you get 8 in a pack which I think is a lot compared to what you usually see in high street stores.

Mason Jar Light - If you could see my room you'd know that I probably have some kind of light obsession, from fairy lights around my fire place to candles and even electronic candles. And this mason jar light has to be next on my wishlist!

Dip Dyed Gift Tags - I've actually started making my own gift tags recently but when I saw these I thought it was such a good idea to dip-dye them and it means that every single one will be unique too.

Moleskine Notebook - I'm all about notebooks lately, whether they're for jotting down blogging ideas, ideas for projects at uni or just general to-do lists - or maybe even my secret plan to conquer the world....

Sweater Weather Is Better Weather Jumper - Let's face it, everyone's dying for Spring/Summer weather to hurry up at the moment but we all know sweater weather is better weather, right?


What are your favourite finds on Etsy?

Ikea Wishlist

I can't quite it's March already! On the plus side I guess it means we can look forward to warm weather, right? So with a new month, as always here is a new wishlist. This months wishlist is all about Ikea! Believe it or not I've never actually been to an Ikea, I guess I've never really needed to and never had one close to me, but apparently I need to go to one, especially with being an interior design student. I know there's a lot of great storage and furniture in Ikea too but for this post I thought I'd stick to the smaller accessories which I'm now lusting over!

London Picture

Faux Sheepskin Rug

Glass Vase/Bottle

Tea-light Holder

Cookie Cutters

Lilac Glass

Lantern/Vase

Basket

Mirror

My favourites are the rug, purple glass, vase and the london picture, I can imagine that rug being super soft, and I've seen the vase used by many bloggers to hold their make-up brushes which is such a good idea! What are your favourite?

2015 Beauty Wishlist

If you follow my blog you may know that I usually like to post a 'wish list' of some sort every month. So with it now being January, the start of 2015!! I thought I'd make a list of some things that i'd quite like to purchase this year, I know that there's no way that I'll be buying every single one of these products - but I can dream, right?

1. Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour Brush - These have been spoken about quite a lot recently in the blogging community, I absolutely adore the rose gold brushes the most out of the new collection and I think a contour brush is next on my make-up brush list.

2. Sleek Makeup Brow Kit - I've wanted a brow kit now for quite some time but I've never been sure which one to go for, at the minute I just tend to use a Rimmel eyebrow pencil which does the job but sometimes can feel a little 'cakey' and this little set looks like something I could try next!

3. Sleek Makeup Face Contour Kit - I remember when I first saw a review on this set some time last year and it's been on my wish list for some time but I've never gotten around to actually trying it.

4. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick in No. 13 Peach Passion - I don't own anything by 'YSL' and being on a student budget it would be quite the dream to own one of their lipsticks, and how lovely is this shade?!


5. Mac Lipstick in Ruby Woo - I'd say mac lipsticks tend to be some of the most popular lipsticks in the blogging world, I only own the one but that's enough to know I want to broaden my collection and 'ruby woo' is such a great shade!


6.Origins Clear Improvement Facial Mask - I've tried a sample of this face mask and absolutely loved it! I think a little goes quite a long way and I think it should do for the price - which is partly why I haven't got around to purchasing the full-sizes version just yet.

7. Una Brennan Superfacialist Salicylic Cleansing Wash - I've never tried anything by Una Brennan before but I've heard a lot of good things about the brand so hopefully this might be my first purchase by them.


8. Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - I've used this body scrub before and think it has to be my absolute favourite! It smells delicious and I'm not getting on well with the one I have at the moment because it's just too oily so I might have to go back to my favourite!


9. Soap and Glory Fab-Pore 2-in-1 Facial purifying mask and peel - I've not actually heard much about this product before but it sounded quite good to me and I tend to get on with the soap and glory products so it could be quite a good find.

10. Revlon Colourstay Concealer - I don't tend to use concealer much these days but just lately I've been thinking about using it again because of my pale winter skin (boo!) and although I've not tried this concealer before I have tried the foundation which is one of my favourites so hopefully it's just as good.


11. Revlon Lash Potion Mascara - I for some reason tend to run out of mascara quicker than any other makeup product and I more often than not like to try a new one each time so maybe this could be the next one.


12. Vaseline Spray and Go moisturiser - I almost bought this product last year but I held back because I have waaaay too many moisturisers and body butters already but maybe this year I'll get to try it - it seems like such a great lazy way to apply it too!


13. Yankee Candle in Sweet Apple - I'm not sure if 'sweet apple' would be a bit too christmasy for any time of the year but I've smelt this flavour and it smells amazing so I had to add it to the list.


14. Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Candle - Last but not least, a Jo Malone candle would be an absolutely amazing treat to myself but at £40 for a candle I'm not sure that I'll actually make this purchase, but as I said, we can all dream!

Mango Wishlist

I've been super busy lately and been meaning to post one of my many drafts for so long! I hate not being able to sit and write and update my blog so this weekend I'll hopefully be able to make time to do just that. As most of you probably know by now, I like to write a different 'wishlist' post each month with a different 'theme' or place so this months is my Mango Wishlist. I haven't shopped at Mango a lot but when I have I've been really pleased with what I've bought and to be honest it isn't a place I often think of shopping but when I had a little rummage through their website the other day I just had to share with you some of my favourite pieces!

Cardigan

Check Top

Jacket

Floral Dress

Leopard Print Boots

Check scarf

I think the scarf has to be my favourite, what's yours?

Autumn Wishlist

Today being the first day of autumn, what other day would be better to show you my Autumn Wishlist?! (I honestly didn't even plan this to go up today - spooky!) Autumn and winter are my all time favourite times of year, snuggling up on the sofa with a hot chocolate or sitting by the fire, watching the fireworks and watching Christmas films, going Christmas shopping - What's not to love?!

Barry M Gelly Nail Paints (Autumn Colours)

River Island Boots

River Island Shoes

Newlook Jumper

Newlook 2-in-1 Jumper

Dorothy Perkins Jeans

Those autumn shades by Barry M teamed with the boots, 2-in-1 jumper and jeans would be perfect together for this time of year! What are your autumn must-haves?

My Workwear Wishlist

Since starting my work placement this month I've been loving looking at and wearing work wear clothing. I've picked out a few different things that caught my eye that would be suitable to wear to work (although I didn't realise until after they're mostly monochrome.. ooops!) I particularly like the blazer and trousers here and I think they'd work well together too!

ASOS Midi Skirt

Topshop Shirt

Topshop Blazer

Newlook Trousers

Dorothy Perkins Dress

What do you like to wear to work?

July Wishlist - Fitness

I've been looking at a lot of different trainers recently because I want to start running at least a few times a week. So to get myself motivated I thought I'd have a look at some fitness clothing too (although I'm still yet to buy any) and I came up with this months wishlist for you all.

Nike Free 5.0 Trainers

Nike Free 5.0 Trainers (black)

Shock Absorber Sports Bra

Nike Pro Hypercool Capri Leggings

Nike Shorts

As you may have noticed I am a little bit in love with everything Nike and those trainers will hopefully be purchased very soon, if only I could choose a colour.

June Fashion Wishlist

For the past few months rather than doing a general wish list I've been trying to focus on different things such as beauty or specific retailers. So for this months wish list I've chosen to focus on fashion! There isn't much on my wish list at the moment fashion wise but my favourite are the Nike trainers, I really want to start running (or jogging at least) and these would be perfect to get me motivated!

Topshop Floral Playsuit

Topshop Boat Shoes

ASOS Snood

Nike Trainers

Missguided Polka Dot Playsuit

What's on your wish list this month?

1. REN Hot Cloth Cleanser

2. Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel

3. NARS Satin Lip Pencil

4. Bourjois Colour Boost Lipstick

5. Benefit Porefessional Powder

Have you tried or wanting to try out any of these products?
