On My Way

2015 Makeup Wishlist 

Hello Lovlies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) In 2014 I started to dabble into the makeup world. I have gotten a lot of things I wanted in order to start building a collection but there are still a lot of things I'd love to add. This year I have a goal to further build my collection and get some things that have been on my wishlist for a long time.
A lot of these items are raved about. They are things that every Youtuber and Blogger has talked about. I really want to try them out and decide for myself if they are good products that deserve all of the praise. You may disagree with my desire to try out all of these cult favorites but I figure there must be a reason everyone likes them. Also don't be shocked by the number of things I don't already have...because it is a lot. Which is why I'm making this list :)

*All items linked if you hover over the names*

Face



I own no brushes. I figure if I am going to get serious about this whole makeup thing then I should probably get some. What better than this gorgeous rose gold set?



I have watched so many Youtubers put on foundation with these. I just want to see what the hype is about. I mean will my face really look better if I pat on foundation with this thing?



I'm not sure I need this but I sometimes think the pores on my nose are to visible. I'd like to make that less of a problem if I am going to start wearing foundation. 



I currently don't use foundation. I have said before that the reason for this is I don't like the way my freckles look with it. Another reason is that I simply never know what shade to buy. I am going to get some professional help with that and then try out this one because everyone just raves about it. 



I have a feeling that because I don't like the feeling of foundation on my skin that my attempt to wear it might not work out... but I have heard great things about BB creams and I think it might be more my style for daily wear. 



I actually already own this product but it is a shade too dark for me. When I purchased it they didn't have my shade but I wanted it so I got it anyways. It isn't that big of a problem but I still want to buy my shade since I actually like this product. 



I have heard so much about this. I want to learn how to wear bronzer and I feel like I should learn with the best. 



This set is gorgeous. I want that blush on my checks every day. 



I need this. Can you imagine anything prettier to have on your checks? Okay so maybe I just want to wear all the beautiful blushes everyday.. can you blame me?! 



I am obsessed with this highlight. Literally. Every time I am in Sephora and Ulta I go straight to it and put it on my hand just to stare at how pretty it is. Nailed it, Urban Decay. 

Eyes



I own the Naked 2 Palette and always feel like it is a waste when I wear it because I don't have a primer and it doesn't stay put on my eyes. I need to buckle down and buy this already. 



I have Naked 2 but I have wanted the original naked palette since the first time I laid eyes on it. I love the taupe shades of Naked 2 but the bronze feel of the original is just suited perfectly for my taste.



This palette is perfect for me. I am a natural make up kind of person and the shades in this are gorgeous while still feeling down to earth. 



This is the perfect minimal palette. It has everything you need for daily use and you know the quality is amazing. 



I have never truly nailed liquid liner. It is hard to admit but it is true. I have watched so many people put this on flawlessly. Maybe that means that over time I'd be able to figure it out. Here's hoping!



The only liner I can really use is gel, which is applied with a brush. This seems like the perfect marriage between the quality of gel with the application of liquid. I have tried it and it deserves any praise you've heard. This stuff is going nowhere once it is on. 



Gel liner is by far my favorite and I have heard that this is the best one to many times not too try it out myself. 



I love mascara. It is my favorite thing in my makeup bag. I want to have a collection of nice ones and this one seems like the one that I am really going to fall in love with. Look at that brush! 



I am no a huge fan of plastic brushes but this mascara looks to wonderful to pass it up. 



Every time I see this brush I decide I need this mascara in my life. Plus it is Urban Decay and that is just a brand I trust to have a good products. 



I love Tanya and when she released her line of false eyelashes I immediately fell in love with her Bambi Eyes set. They are gorgeous. I don't wear lashes often (usually only on stage) but I will find excuses for lashes this gorgeous. 



My best friend Amanda was lovely enough to get me Gimmie Brow as a part of my birthday present. She got me the light/medium thinking that since it was perfect for her brows (which are similar to mine) that it would be the color for me. I have found that it is just a little to light though. My brows are very dark and bold so I think the medium/dark will be great. 

Lips 



I own a large collection of Tanya Burr glosses. They are the best in my opinion and she has supplied you with any shade you could need. Chic is the one I hear about most often but have never gotten my hands on. It is frequently sold out. I hope to get it soon. 



In her most recent shade launch Tanya included this orange/coral shade that is magnificent. It is one of my favorite shades for my lips and with her formula added I know I'll love it. Plus how adorable is the name?!



I love the naked line and when I see the glosses I just know I would love them. This seems like a wonderful nude and I love the name :) 



Coral to die for! This color would top off a naked eye perfectly. 



My bestie Amanda recently bought one of these melted glosses and they seem amazing. This color is just too stunning to pass up!



As you can tell at this point, I love coral lips. This shade seems perfect for my makeup bag!



This is technically a check & lip stain but I am including it in the lip section because I love the way it looks on lips and because it is always nice to have a good lip stain around. 



This is one of the most loved of the MAC lipsticks. I love red lips and am always searching for THE red lipstick. I think this may be the purchase where I find it. 



I love nude lips and have heard such wonderful things about NARS lipsticks. I just feel like I need to give it a try!

That is my complete list of products I really want to purchase this year. I know that it is going to take some time to collect them but I am so excited to learn more about makeup and explore it all further. Do you have any of these products? Do you have any products you've been wanting to try? If so, let me know in the comments!

Adore You

My Lovely (Early) Birthday Present 


Hello Lovlies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) My 22nd birthday is quickly approaching (let the nonstop day of listening to 22 begin)! I have no idea how is it is nearly December, let alone my birthday (which is the 4th). My lovely best friend Amanda told me months back that she had bought my present and has talked about it time and time again, since then. Due to the fact that she has been anticipating giving it to me for so long and the fact that we may not see each other closer to my birthday, she gave me my present early. What she bought me is the most wonderful and thoughtful birthday present ever so I thought I would show y'all the things she got for me!


So for a while now I have been hopelessly obsessed with Youtube and the people who create content on it. Now I may be so passionate about the topic that I feel the need to share my interest with others. They may, from time to time, not want to embrace my passion but I give them a sample video anyways and have managed to reel in a few people. You may think that it is odd for a girl who is a week away from turning 22 to be so into a subculture that is filled with tween girls but I don't care. The people I'm watching are actually my age, if not older, and I relate to them in a lot of ways. I don't feel embarissed to say I get a certain amount of joy from watching makeup tutorials that I could never accomplish or the daily vlogs (video blogs) of another persons life and adventures. It is nice to be invested in other peoples lives. Anyways, my point of sharing this with you is that I told my best friend Amanda all about Youtube and the section that contains makeup tutorials. She enjoys makeup as a hobby and I thought she would like hearing about products she'd never tried and various methods others use to apply them. My favorite overall Youtuber is Zoe Sugg (Zoella) so I showed her first, but she doesn't have a ton of makeup tutorials as she feels she is not a professional. My favorite Youtuber when it comes to makeup is Tanya Burr who does have a lot of makeup tutorials, seeing as she actually was a professional. Amanda ended up really enjoying them and has since found Youtubers of her own to watch. This bond led to the theme that she chose for my birthday present this year.

***All of the items below are linked if you hover over them :)***

Marley Lilly Monogrammed Makeup Bag


This bag screams Jordan Nicole. Like it actually yelled my name when I opened the box. It is my favorite color and it has my monogram. Anything with my monogram is amazing in my book (just look at my phone case). This bag is so big and I didn't know it but I desperately needed it in my life. I  have already put my makeup in it and managed to fit everything in it. I usually have to cycle things out of my makeup bag as I need them but not with this bag. I even fit my Naked 2 palette in there!

Zoella Beauty Creamy Madly Dreamy Body Lotion


Now months back when Amanda had started buying these items she had told me that "it" (I thought it was one item still back then) was something that I would never buy myself but needed. This statement is accurate with every item in this box but to be honest I would have bought this one for myself. I have been waiting and waiting to buy myself Zoella Beauty products because a lot of her things sold out so quickly and I wanted to buy all of the items I wanted at once. I'm so glad she bought me this now! The smell is just as lovely and fresh as I had heard and I'm so happy to have it.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Moisturizer, Very Dry Skin Formula


This fits in with our Youtube theme because you endlessly hear the words Soap & Glory while watching beauty vloggers. This lotion smells amazing and I have a feeling it will be getting a ton of use!

Marc Anthony Oil Of Morocco Aragon Oil Hairspray


Amanda got this and the next product in her Ipsy Box but I am almost positive I have heard of both while watching Youtube videos. Everyone can always use hairspray and this one being travel size makes it perfect to carry around with me in my makeup bag!

Wet n Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain in Lady & The Vamp


I really am convinced I have hear about this product from one of my beauty vloggers. Either way it is amazing. The formula is so nice and this color is so gorgeous for this time of year. When I put it on I instantly liked it with my skin!

Tanya Burr Lip Glosses in Aurora & Lets Travel The World


These two colors have now brought my Tanya Burr Lip Gloss collection up to eight! I love them so much. They have such a wonderful formula and the pigmentation is great too. I only need four more to have the entire collection from her first launch. The thing that impressed me the most is that Amanda knew which ones I didn't have! Tanya recently released a second launch, along with a limited edition Christmas shade and I ordered two of those, which should be coming in the mail any day now. Seeing as my collection is up to ten I think I am going to do a post on these soon :)

Sephora Pro Fan Brush #65


This is the nicest brush I have ever owned. This is actually the nicest brush I've ever even felt. These aren't hard statement to make, seeing as I don't own any brush collection, but it could not be more true. It is so lovely and feels like a dream when you rub it on your checks. I will treasure this brush and I already know it is going to inspire me to start collection brushes (finally).

Benefit Gimme Brow in Light/Medium



Now this product has been talked about to death on Youtube and I have wanted to try it for as long as I have been watching videos. I only recently started doing my brows (due to the mixed factors of Youtubers & pressure from Amanda) because I have pretty prominent brows naturally. I wasn't using a brow kit or pencil or gel or anything like that though, I was just using a brown eyeshadow with a small brush to do them. I am so excited to try a brow product that is meant specifically for that purpose. Plus I have heard so many wonderful things about this product!


That's it! With each item that I pulled out of the box I felt so special and loved. I would have gladly accepted just one of the things from the box and felt so thankful. To think that Amanda put months of effort into collecting these things for my birthday just makes me feel so blessed to have her in my life. She truly is an amazing person and even more amazing friend.

Amanda, thank you so much for the lovely birthday presents. It was the most thoughtful idea! Ultimately though, your friendship is the only present I will ever need and I will cherish it forever.
