The second post in my new Monthly Wish List is going to be themed in one of my least favourite colours... Green! Although I do have green eyes, I find green a hard colour to wear in terms of both make up and clothing. However, when I started my search for must-have green items this evening... I didn't have to look far!
There are two green make up items that I'm currently coveting. The first being an RMK eyeshadow that I layed eyes on during Monday's National Beauty Blogging Event. These rather special shadows are made using sterling silver (I kid you not, real sterling silver!) and have a beautiful, eye-catching finish. I think the green shade compliments this seasons pastel make up trend perfectly. The shadows are not too strongly pigmented, making them an easy way to pull off the tricky trend. (£16.50, available from ASOS)
The second make up item is one of Illamasqua's new Cream Pigments that make up part of their upcoming Toxic Nature collection. The pale green shade Bedaub would make a fabulous base for the above RMK shadow don't you think?
The Illamasqua Toxic Nature collection will be available from the 17th March and the creme pigments will be priced at £17.
These Peacock feather earings also caught my eye recently. I know they're not all green, but the touch of bright green makes then really eye catching. For £6, you can't really go wrong! Available from ASOS.
Another green item that caught my eye was this fabulous dark metallic green leather jacket from Rick Owens at Net-a-Porter. At £1,360 it is most certainly just for oogleing at (on my budget at least!) but is beautiful none the less.
Perhaps a more accessible offering from Net-a-Porter is my favourite green pick of the month, this beautiful Antik Batik beaded pouch bag. I think this would add a loevly touch of colour to many of my outfits and be very useful during the spring and summer months. (£165)
We can all dream! After all... that is what wishlists are for!
Is there anything currently on your wish list that is... GREEN?

The jacket is gorgeous.. definitely something I would have worn when I was your age (not that I'm too old for it or anything! But that was really my style a few years ago).. The RMK eye shadows were lovely, I really wanted the gold one. Got the pink one in my sample bag, if it was the green I would have sent it to you - I can't pull off green eye shadow (or pink, come to think of it!)

E.L.F.'s nail polish in Teal Blue, not strictly green but definitely not blue like the name suggests!
ReplyDeleteI love greens, I'm sure you'd look lovely wearing green, particularly emerald green looks amazing on blondes!
Also the jacket is to die for. Not sure I'd sacrifice the life of my bank balance for it though xx
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the jacket. Literally! lol. It's beautiful! I WANT/NEED! Me no like the price...boo! :(

I love these Christian Louboutin pumps!
ReplyDeleteThese ones are turqoise, but they've also got them in green. If I could, I would buy them in every single color! :) Here's the link:

Im drooling on net-a-porter everyday as well, i would buy everything really. The leather jacket is awesome, and they have a pretty amazing collection. Antik Batik has amazing tunics for summer, just like Missoni.
ReplyDeletegreen is one of my favourite colours, love the cream pigment! x
ReplyDeleteOMG i scrolled down too far past the jacket pulled this face :O and scrolled back up to admire it. then i saw the price :((
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that jacket! However I think the money would probably best be put towards a car right? :(

Green is my favorite color!!!!!! I don't know if you grew up watching Mr. Rogers (it might just be in the states, not sure) but I would cry if he didn't put his green jacket on! I love that bag from net-a-porter!
