As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Hi there! Its been a while since I did a wishlist and I think the last wishlist was my Birthday wishlist last month. If you didn’t get a chance to read it don’t you worry I have you covered right HERE.

Today’s wishlist is really some products I have been coveting over the last couple of weeks but my budget has not permitted this expenditure hence the wishlist. I can always come back to it when my budget frees up a bit and I hope you like my little Saturday wishlist picks and enter the poll to let me know which I should buy first.

LIP-INK – 100% Smearproof Lip Stain Trial Kit – Reds – Sky Red
LIP-INK - 100% Smearproof Lip Stain Trial Kit - Reds - Sky Red

This product had me at “Smearproof”, there is nothing worse than having your lipstick/gloss smeared all over your mouth. Free shipping has made me concluded this product is money worthy, now just need a willing card.

LIP-INK – 100% Smearproof Lip Stain Trial Kit – Reds – Sky Red – $16.50, Free shipping – Available at Lip Ink International

 

L’Oreal – Colour Riche Lipstick, True Red 315, 0.13 oz (3.6 g) Peach Fuzz
L'Oreal - Colour Riche Lipstick, True Red 315, 0.13 oz (3.6 g) Peach Fuzz

Y’all know apart from nail polish my second love is lipsticks and this one spoke to me (maybe more so the price). I do not have many L’Oreal products but this could be a start.

L’Oreal – Colour Riche Lipstick, True Red 315, 0.13 oz (3.6 g) Peach Fuzz – $5.97, 5.48 shipping – Available at Amazon.com

(1 reviews)

MAC – MAC ‘Russian Red’ Rouge a Levres Matte Lipstick
MAC - MAC 'Russian Red' Rouge a Levres Matte Lipstick

Today I took a survey which claimed this is my kind of product and I could not agree more. This is some super red and its so cheap (For a MAC) so I am definitely sending someone this link.

MAC – MAC ‘Russian Red’ Rouge a Levres Matte Lipstick – $16.00, Free shipping – Available at Nordstrom

 

L’Oreal – Maybelline New York Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color, Pink Pop 860, 0.15 oz (4.2 g) On Fire Red 0.15 oz (4.2 g)&&
L'Oreal - Maybelline New York Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color, Pink Pop 860, 0.15 oz (4.2 g) On Fire Red 0.15 oz (4.2 g)&&

Is it just me or does this lipstick make you want to kiss the lips wearing it (ok just me then). The price again and the blogger reviews have me convinced my next beauty shop should include this little number.

L’Oreal – Maybelline New York Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color, Pink Pop 860, 0.15 oz (4.2 g) On Fire Red 0.15 oz (4.2 g)&& – $5.59, 5.02 shipping – Available at Target.com

    I haven’t been able to wear lip gloss for a while.. I can’t get over the sticky feeling. I used to be fine with it.. but now I prefer lipsticks.. esp if they’re good at moisturizing at the same time too!
