It feels like forever that we’ve been planning this trip (probably because it has been) and it’s finally just around the corner so forgive me if I get a little vacation happy in my posts over the coming weeks. It’s very exciting, not least of all because of the shopping. Above are just a few of the items on my current wish list. Now don’t get me wrong.. I can’t afford to blow 2 months rent on a spree but I am being careful and when the time comes I should hopefully have enough $$$ for a little splurge.
My absolute must haves will be the Maybelline Color Tattoos and Dream Bouncy Blushes because I’m not sure when they’re launching in the UK. The Revlon Lip Butters launch days before we fly out so I may have already picked up a couple in advance. I’d love a new scent from Victoria’s Secret and my big splurge with either be a pair of long-lusted-after Tory Birch flats, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Handbag or a second MK watch (decadant?) in rose gold. Each of those items are substantially cheaper in the states so I’m hoping to grab a bargainous treat for myself.
Are there any must haves you think I should pick up while I’m across the pond?

Try the Laura Mercier flawless face kit from Sephora, it's worth every penny. x
I'm a bit nervous of the higher end stuff.. think I'd rather spend my $$ at the drugstore than spending up on one item
EEEKKK im so excited for you!! We go to Vegas ( to get hitched :))xx) on the 16th March and like you I have a wish list too :))Have an AMAZINGGGGGG time hun xxxxxx
no way!! i'm so jealous! we wanted to get married there 🙁

Great wishlist, I'm going to L.A in September and I'm already making a mental note of all the things I want to pick up! 🙂 x
i'v been making mental notes for 18 months lol
I can't wait to get my hands on the Revlon lip butters when they come out in the UK! I'd recommend seeing if theres anything you fancy that's really hard to get here, like NYX, Kat Von D, Bath and Body Works and brands like that! 🙂 xx

I really wish we had Kat Von D collection here! x
The opi for sephora nail polishes are lovely and quite cheap. In fact the whole sephoras own brand range is really nice and not too expensive. They have the two designer outlets in Vegas too which I loved xxx
Oh and vanilla coke! I had a break down in wal-greens cos I wa so excited to see it! X
I keep seeing Tarte amazonian clay blushes all over the blogosphere, don't think are too much either.
eos organic lip balm from walmarts (like $3 each) you will not regret it !!!
oooh and fairy drops mascara from sephora AMAZE 🙂

Oooh the Rebecca Minkoff bag in on my wishlist too, I'm going to Florida in June, and I'm so excited to get my hands on some more Essie & OPI polishes as they are so much cheaper over there.
Love the look of this range in the US

You should give Milani a try! EmilyNoel recommends the line and I am in love with their baked blushes and bronzers. I have no idea if you have a similar brand in the UK but I usually get them at CVS or Walmart.
