If you saw my Planning My First Trip To Miami blog post last week. You'll already know that I have an exciting trip to New York and Miami coming up in a few weeks time. I'm at that stage where I'm putting together a list of what I'd love to bring home with me. Which is exactly what inspired today's Miami and NYC shopping wishlist. It's also been a couple of years since I last shared a wishlist on Ellis Tuesday.
So here are a few of the things that I'm hoping to pick up on my trip to the US next month;
Beauty
Kristin Ess Instant Exfoliating Scalp Scrub - If you didn't already know, Kristin Ess has now launched her incredible haircare range in Boots here in the UK. But not all of her products have made their way over. I'm particularly interested in trying out some of her scalp care collection and this scrub sounds right up my street.
Kristin Ess Scalp Detoxifying Bubble Hair Mask - This sounds like it could a pretty interesting product to use as it bubbles and pops on your head. It also sounds like it could be a dupe for the Bumble and bumble Scalp Detox. But at half the price.
CeraVe SA Lotion - Again, much like with Kristin Ess, CeraVe is now available in the UK. But this particular product isn't. I've got really bumpy skin on my arms and legs known as keratosis pilaris. And this lotion is designed specifically to deal with that. It also sounds like a budget version of the REN AHA Smart Renewal Body Serum that I've been dying to try.
Shop This Post
All things Bath & Body Works - A trip to the US isn't complete without a Bath & Body Works trip. And I'm hoping to restock some of my favourites, like the Foaming Hand Soaps, PocketBacs. Plus a vast array of candles, of course. How dreamy do Boardwalk Vanilla Cone and French Baguette sound?
THE CRÈME SHOP Hello Kitty Plushie Sleep Mask - When I was in the US last year I picked up some of the Hello Kitty x THE CRÈME SHOP sheet masks. And I was so happy with what I managed to get. This time, I've got my eyes on one of the sleep masks, which I just found out is available at Pretty Little Thing here in the UK along with a few more bits from the range. If you're a Hello Kitty fan like me, definitely be sure to check that out.
Sephora Favorites Festival Faves - It still seriously upsets me that we aren't able to even access the US Sephora site here in the UK! Who else is with me on that one? This makes it pretty tricky to plan what I'd like to buy in advance. I had seen this Favorites set doing the rounds on Instagram and for some reason, I can never resist picking up one of these sets and this may very well be the one that I go for this year. As for other Sephora buys, I will no doubt get very overwhelmed when I do step inside and either leave with a basket full or nothing at all. Why can't we just look at the site Sephora?!
Travel
CALPAK x Oh Joy! Packing Cubes - In recent years I have become more than a little bit obsessed with packing cubes. Remember this blog post here? They make packing a joy, unpacking even easier. And when I'm not travelling, I use them to hold my out of season clothing and accessories. I got my current ones from Amazon but these ones from CALPAK and Oh Joy! look like a serious upgrade and will no doubt make packing even more fun for me. Yup, I'm one of those people.
Fashion
Old Navy Compression Leggings - One of my best buys from my solo trip to NYC two Summers ago were a pair of compression workout leggings that I pretty much wear on a daily basis. I'm hoping to get one or two black pairs and a couple of jazzier colours/prints too. Plus Old Navy always do unbelievable coupons and discount codes that it would be almost rude not to use them.
Kate Spade Watson Hearts Sam - And last but definitely not least, I've got my fingers well and truly crossed that I'll be able to get my hands on this beaut of a bag when I'm in the US. This is mainly due to the fact that it went into the sale about a month ago. So I'm just hoping that it doesn't completely sell out before I get there. Keep me in your thoughts. Hehe.
It's safe to say that I've left plenty of room in my suitcase for a few unexpected items as TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack tend to be treasure troves for items you never even knew you needed.
What's on your wishlist at the moment? Is there anything that I just have to bring back from the US (namely lots of American snacks, maybe)? And what do you think of my Miami and NYC shopping wishlist?
