It’s August girls! Are you like me, wondering how you managed to work the first half of the year away so quickly?
Time passing so quickly has reminded me sharply that I need to reassess my yearly goals so I can be as focused as possible. I recently read The Secret - it’s so cheesy but it’s working it’s magic!
I am also trying to buy less make up – I keep rediscovering make up I already own but haven’t seen for a while, so I have to remind myself that actually – I have tons of dupes!
Anyway, here’s 5 lemmings I have at the moment. Feel free to kill them!
1. Nars Turks & Caicos Multiple
I love the multiples, even though it gives me zits – I knew I wanted these gorgeous sheer multiples but when I swatched them on the counter they seemed so greasy. But I keep seeing gorgeous ladies Muhsine and Holly Yummy Mummy talking about it and so, I still want it *sigh*. Orange, coincidentally, it totally my colour!
2. MAC Face & Body Foundation
I have actually bought this foundation before and it’s pretty good but very sheer. But it would be good for my holiday.
I guess it’s comparable to the MUFE Face & Body Foundation but I’ve decided the jelly like texture of MUFE’s really irritates me (yes, I’ve had it spill out all over my fresh bed sheets).
But do I really need a new foundation!? Another one!? GAH!
3. Trish McEvoy Sexy 9 Fragrance
I do like perfumes but I get them as gifts I rarely purchase them for myself. There are two perfumes that I currently have my eye on though, Trish McEvoy’s Sexy 9, which smells quite unique – I haven’t smelt many fragrances like it. It’s vanilla with a fruit edge but not overbearing at all.
I also want Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb which is also quite unique in a pretty bottle!
4. Shiseido Urban Environment SPF 30 Cream
I bought some eye cream from Shiseido recently and the girl insisted I needed their new Urban Environment SPF too (which comes in SPF 30 and SPF 50). I sort of said yes, then she realised she was out of stock…
Just as well because when I got home, I checked the price – £31. Ouch. Plus I have too many sun creams to get through anyway but I can’t help thinking this is the cool kid in the pack, ‘The names Shi. Shiseido. Urban Environment.’
5. Aube Couture Designing Highlight Powder
I have wanted this cool highlighter forever and ever and ever but when I finally got round to buying it (the exchange rate is SO bad) Adam from Adambeauty emailed me to say it was out of stock! D’oh!
So I am back to lusting after it. Maybe it will be mine. Anything that can make me look more awake can only be a good thing.
Ok that’s me. Do you have any lemmings at the moment?
Can you kill any of mine?!
Oooo I really enjoyed rerading this post. Im so ney, I love looking at what people are lemming over. Think I’ll do this post too hehe.

Where is your post, Jo? x
I can’t kill the lemming for the Nars Tint. I have it and it’s become such a staple in my summer makeup kit. Really easy to use, a gorgeous colour and not greasy at all once on the cheeks! I haven’t tried it on the lips, but I reckon it’s too sheer for my pigmented lips.
I love it so much that I really am considering buying a backup which is just silly…right?
Hi Naz
Nooooooo don’t say that :/ I really want it, i didn’t like it when I swatched it, but I can’t help but feel I am missing out!
The Nars LE mutiple look so pretty…if only it wasn’t for the hefty price tag lol
I have combination/slightly more on the oilier side skin, do you think MAC Face & Body foundation would work for me? I like lighter foundation/coverage even though I have a lot of scarring but heard that MAC F&B is better for normal-dry skin types :]
Is shiseido promoting that product outside of asia now? I’d love to try it! >__<;;
Hi Mandy
- Yes the SPF is now on sale on counters in the UK
-F&B is water based so it may be gentler on your skin? thats why I want it! It’s veryyyyyyyy sheer, very glowy and natural. it sort of sets on your skin so I think it’s one of those that can work with all skintypes, dry or oily. If oily, powder it.
- I still can’t bring myself to buy the Nars. £27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did you try shaking your MUFE face and body? (probably you have) it loosens the jelly texture and makes it possible to get a blob out.
Hi Baby
I shook it, it was still a bit…yukky.
I’ll do it again. I paid £30 for it, not throwing it away!
I’ll gladly take your excess foundation, hmm.. I could do that from your blog sale
I have heard good things about MAC face and body and I am lemming it too..
I’m also lemming Shiseido spf55 sunblock, viva glam gaga, chanel blush in rose bronze and a nail polish thinner from orly.
Hi Kirsten
ARGH my lemming list is HUGE. A lot of stuff from MAC – I love to HAUL from MAC but then I never ever use it!
The Multiples look nice, but if they give you zits you should definitely stay away from them!
Shiseido sunscreen is nice but I think most Japanese sunscreens are pretty nice so there’s no need to shell out 31 pounds for this one!
The Aube highlight looks lovely, now I want to go check it out.
Hi Kuri
I agree some amazing sunscreens are only £5! No need to spend £30
I’ve ordered the Aube! Can’t wait !x
