Christmas Wishlist - 2016 Edition

It's November and you all know what this means - it's officially socially acceptable to use the c-word. Christmas.

Yes, I'm one of those people who start listening to Christmas music and eating Christmas sweets pretty much on the first of November, and I'm always itching to get out all my Christmas decorations once Halloween is over. And what would make such an exitable person like me happier than writing their Christmas wishlist?

As I enjoyed writing my Christmas wishlist even more than I usually do this year as there's so many exciting things on it, I wanted to share it with you. I feel like I'm giving you a really deep look into my personality by doing this because I don't think any of you would have expected most of the things on it - so this shall be fun!

1. Simply Straight Hairbrush 

I don't have terribly curly hair, it's pretty straight on top but tends to become wavy at the bottoms, which can be super annoying - because of that, I was over the moon when I was introduced to this straightening hairbrush by my Mom!

It basically acts as a straightening iron but is used just like your normal hairbrush, which is extremly practical as you'll only have to brush through your hair more slower than you normally would and, by doing this, straighten it in the process! It also uses a lot lower temperatures which will be a lot healthier for my hair compared to my straigthening iron.

2. MAC Lipstick in 'Plum Dandy'

You can never have too many lipsticks, especially if they're by MAC. I love their lippies so much that they can you can pretty much always find one of them on my wishlists.
Plum Dandy is a shade that I discovered randomly by swatching lipsticks in store, and I instantly fell in love with it - it's a red/purple-ish shade that shimmers a tiny bit - perfect for the winter season, am I right?

3. Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer (3DS)

I'm super obsessed with Animal Crossing. Yup, I finally said it. I've loved this series ever since I was a little kid and it's been a companion of mine ever since, so I've been dying to try out the newest installment for the 3DS, which is called Happy Home Designer. 

The main thing about the game is that you get decorate and plan all of the characters' houses - which might probably sound extremly boring to most of you, but for the Animal Crossing and interior design lover in me, this is heaven.

4. Jemma's Girly Sticker Pack

In case you didn't know, Jemma sells the most adorable stickers ever in her Etsy shop. If I could, I would literally get all of the packs right here and now, but if I had to pick one to wish for, I'd definitely get the girly sticker pack - it's too die for.

5. Instax Mini 8 Camera

I've watched so many people treat themselve to these cameras during the past year or two, and I'm always so jealous when I see their cute polaroid photos. I want one. So badly. 

Imagine all the things you could do with the polaroids, like photo albums and various wall decorations. 

6. The Sims 4 - City Living (PC)

When I'm not playing Animal Crossing, I'm most likely playing The Sims. Much like my other favorite series, it's been a constant in my life pretty much ever since I was allowed to play games on the computer, and it's most definitely my all-time favorite past time and favorite way to procastinate all my responsibilities.

City Living is the newest expansion pack for The Sims 4, so to satisfy my inner nerd, this had to make the wishlist.

7. "The Name if the Rose" by Umberto Eco

Now, I know that this book is over a decade old and considered to be a classic by many, so why the hell haven't I read it yet? I really don't know.

But ever since my Latin teacher, who is into books at least as much as I am, told me about it and tried to pitch it to me, I've been super curious about it.

All I know about the plot is that it's set in a monastery, that someone is murdered in said monastery and that one of the monks tries to solve the murder mystery - but I'm hooked already.

8. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle EdT

Oh my life. Besides Marc Jacob's Daisy Dream, this is my all-time favorite perfume, even if I have never owned it myself. I remember my mother wearing it when I was little, and I'm actually upset that she doesn't wear it anymore because then I'd get to smell it more often.

It's has both citrusy and floral notes to it, which is basically everything I look for in a perfume. If only it wasn't this expensive. Well, a girl can hope, right?

9. "Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy" by Cassandra Clare

I've talked about my undying love for Cassandra Clare's writing on my blog several times, and as I love and devour her books, it's also a tradition for me to put her books onto any wishlist of mine.

This one is a collection of short stories centered around the characters from her The Mortal Instruments series (if you've never heard of it - read the books, watch the show, love it.) and is actually co-written by a lot of different authors.

Is there anything special you're wishing for this year?

Homeware Wishlist: Autumn/Winter Edition

I don't know about you, but ever since I moved into my own apartment, I've been obsessed with homeware. I literally cannot walk past a store's homeware department without looking for new pieces to decorate my apartment with - you can never have too many candles, prints or pillows, right?

But do you know what's even better than going shopping for new decor? Shopping for it online. You can check out so many stores at once and order all of the products you desire without having to carry all the heavy things home. It's a win-win situation, right?
As I've been eyeing up all kinds of dreamy pieces lately, I decided to share them with you guys!

1. Framed artwork (24,95€)

For some reason, I really, really like this artwork, even though I can't quite put my finger on why I do. It's rather simple but still catches the eye, and as the walls in my bedroom are a light blue, this would go perfectly with them!

2. Chocolate print (3,99€)

I feel like this print was made for me. Well, I actually don't eat chocolate that often, but when I do, I devour it. Nothing beats a good bar of Milka or Kinder chocolate - and those are always there for me when I need them. They'd never leave me. I need this print to celebrate my relationship with chocolate. Now.

3. Brilliant Cushion (14,99€)

So I have this thing for cushions/pillows. Whenever I find a cute or unique one, I get it. And because I can never throw things out, I've accumulated quite the collection.

However, I don't have anything like this cushion. It's covered in sparkly sequins and because its grey, it would go well with my light grey sofa. That's a good enough reason to get it, right?

4. Fastening clips for polaroids (15€)

I don't have a polaroid camera yet, but I'm thinking about asking for one for either Christmas or my eighteenth birthday because I love the look of polaroids.
This would be perfect for displaying your favorite photos, so whenever I'll have taken some, I will need to get this!

5. Cacti tealights (12€)

I love candles, and I love plants, especially miniature ones - so what could be better than plant shaped candles? These adorable cacti tealights look so neat, it would actually hurt me to burn them, so I'd probably just use them as decoration on my windowsill.

6. Yankee Candle in 'Fireside Treats' (29,90€)

For a candle lover like me, Yankee Candles are heavenly. I got the "Christmas Cookies" one last year, and I've already started burning it even though Christmas is still two months away because I love the scent and how it fills my entire apartment so much.
I'd love to get another one that isn't Christmas

7. Sheepskin Rug (49,99€)

When I came across this rug downtown, I instantly fell in love with it. It doesn't only look pretty, it's so incredibly soft! I also don't have a single rug in my entire apartment, so this is basically a staple I'm missing, right?

8. Scratch Map (32€)

I travelled a lot this year and now that the travel bug has truly bit me, I'd love to have a scratch world map like this one to track all the places I have already visited - if only they were a little cheaper. This will probably be a nice extra when I've got all my necessities covered.

9. Zoella Pottering Around Decorative Storage Pots (~11€)

These are the most adorable pots I've ever seen! They come in copper and marble and can be used for storage or even for tiny plants - and I want like ten of them. Pretty please?

Home Décor Wishlist | Lifestyle

Ever since I moved into my own flat last spring, I've been really into interior design. And by really into I mean that I collect magazines and browse IKEA's website for hours on a daily basis. I sound like a teenage version of my Mom, oh my life.

And because I love comming up with new ideas and concepts on how to decorate my small space, I was very excited when I was contacted by UncommonGoods to check out their products.

UncommonGoods, for all of you that don't know, is a New York based retailer that features unique jewelery, designer décor, tabletop items and handcrafted gifts - most importantly, all of which were created without any harm done to either animals or people.

Ever since the company's launch all the way back in 1999, they've been following their mission of providing a platform for artists and designer - half the products they sell are handmade.

I was amazed by the concept behind this company - they offer gorgeous, cruelty-free decór items, most of which are handmade and include recycled materials.

The best thing about their products, however, is that there is a story behind each and every one of them, which you can read up on while browsing their website!

While doing exactly that, I stumbled upon so many amazing décor pieces that I felt like I couldn't not share them with you guys - if you, like me, are looking for some inspiration on little pieces that'll add a lot of personality to your flat, you're in for a treat!

1. Boquet Wall Print (140,95€)

I feel like, out of all the different categories of products UncommonGoods offer, their prints definitely stand out the most - if you're interested in seeing more of them, you can check them out here.

I fell in love with this one right in the moment I saw it - I've been looking for a world map to cover a huge bare wall in my bedroom for some time now, and this one featuring flowers as countries is absolutely dreamy.

2. Giraffe Family Bookends (61,49€)

For someone who owns as many books as I do, bookends are such a sweet, creative way to display them - how come I don't own more than one?

I was actually overwhelmed by the variety of bookends I was greeted by when browsing - you can check them out here - but this one that includes a mother giraffe and its baby was just too cute to pass up. It actually made me squeal out loud.

I need it. Desperately.

3. Vintage Camera Pillows (52,03€)

Now, my inner blogger definitely urged me to put these three pillows into the shopping basket right away, chanting "buy them, buy them", but I stayed strong. Mostly because my bank balance wouldn't be able to take any more damage this month.

Now, joking aside, this trio of pillows is absolutely adorable, and for sure an eyecatcher! They'd sit super nicely on my sofa, adding a bit of my personality to my living room.

4. F-Bomb Paperweight (42,57€)

This actually made me laugh out loud when I first saw it - have you ever seen a décor item that is any more me?  In case you don't know, I have a bad habit of swearing a little too much in my free time - I somehow manage to control my toungue while at school and work, but once I come home, it sort of does its own thing. Whoops.

This would come in really handy for my desk because I constantly have several sheets of paper floating around there - and it definitely is a hilarious conversation starter!

5. Deep Sea Sand Art (80,40€)

This piece of art is nothing short of breathtaking.

It contains light and dark sand which shifts into all kinds of landscapes once you rotate the glass ring - that's one of the most innovative décor items I've ever seen!

It also appears to have a very calming, natural presence, according to people who have bought it, so this would be a really nice addition to an office space.

6. Cork Globes (75,68€/113,51€)

Picking back up on the travelling vibes I started off with when I added the world map to this list - how adorable are these cork globes? There's a mini and a large size to these, so you could make use of these in smaller spaces as well!

They don't just look cute, though, but you can also actually track your travels in three-dimensional style with color-coded pushpins, so this could come in really handy as I'm travelling more than ever this year!

7. There Are Always Flowers Print (35,95€)

If you follow me on any of my social media, you will know that I'm a very positive and optimistic person, so this lovely print here is right up my street.

I love the way this saying is fittingly framed with pretty flowers, and I'm a big fan of its message - that one should always look for beauty, no matter one's surroundings.

8. Indulgent Food Pillows (61,49€)

Yet another item that very much fits my personality. These pillows are made by the same lovely lady as the camera ones I mentioned earlier, and they are equally adorable. There were actually quite a few other ones that I adored, but this list would have been absolutely endless - you can find all the other cute pillows they offer over here.

I'm now having the internal struggle of trying to work out which would go better with my living room's color scheme. I want them all. Dang.

9. Record Bowl (23,65€)

While it is specifically stated on the website that these should not be used to serve food, how great would this be to display little knick-knacks or to keep all of your jewelery in one place?

What I love about these bowls is that you can actually chose the record your bowl will be made out of, so this would also be a perfect option for a personalized gift!

Now that's quite the long wishlist I've managed to mount there, huh?

Obviously, I could never cover all of the amazing products I stumbled upon while browsing UncommonGoods' website, but if I got you interested in their décor items, you can go here to check them out.

Have you picked up any decorative items for your home lately? If so, make sure to share them with me!

Christmas Wishlist

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Once we hit mid-November, my family starts decorating for Christmas and cracks out the Christmas cookies and mulled wine, so there was no way I could escape the rising excitement and warmth in my stomach. So I'm typing this while looking out at the lights I put up on my balcony and munch on some gingerbread. I'm not even ashamed at this point.

I've also found that it was really hard for me to make up my mind on what I could wish for this year. Usually I'll have an at least one foot long list by early September because whenever I'm broke, I just chuck the things I'm lusting over on there. However, there's only a few things that would make me cry were they to land under the tree - and here they are!

1. Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie (27,99€)

I've been lusting after Yankee Candles for the longest time, but as they're pretty hard to get a hold of in Germany and on top of that, quite expensive, I never had the courage to commit to pruchasing one.

However, I stumbled across their Christmas themed scents when I was downtown the other day, and I fell head over heels for this one - it was basically love at first sniff. I had to have it.

Christmas Cookie smells, as the name suggests, like delicious, sweet cookies, without being overly sweet or sickening, but very much making my tummy rumble.

The jar is also huge, so this one will definitely last you for quite some time.

2. Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera (90€)

How cool are polaroid cameras? I'd love to take one of these to a special event and just snap away - without getting to see the outcome on a screen, or editing them, or pressing 'delete' 99% of the time. Those would be some damn rare and real photos.

The only reason I don't own one of these yet is their price tag - ninety Euros is quite a lot for a stundent who is barely scraping by. I'd have to live off of toast and cereal for much longer than two weeks to both pay my bills and afford one of these.

3. iPhone 6s in 'Gold' (849€)

It's so beautiful. And so shiny. And just checking the price tags downtown made me see stars.

Truth is, I'm a true Android girl. I've never ventured into the world of Apple before, simply because I'm not made of money and holy hell, these things are so expensive. Especially when you, like me, need at least 64GB of memory because you simply can't delete any of your pictures.

Even though this is by far the most far-fetched wish on this list of pretty things, I could not not put it on here as I've literally been oooh-ing and aaaah-ing at it ever since it's been released.

4. Lancôme La Vie Est Belle EdP (106€)

I actually mentioned the 'Intense' version of this perfume in my fall wishlist, but somewhere along the way, I started to realize that it was way too overpowering. Overpowering in like, I spritzed some of it into my hair when I checked it out while shopping and then went home to wash my hair - only that it still smelt of the perfume after I had washed it. What even?

La Vie Est Belle is both a sweet and a fruity smell and has notes of vanilla, pear and pralines in it. It's such a wonderful perfume for the colder seasons and could both be worn during daytime and for a night out.

5. Benefit 'Do The Hoola' kit (37€)

I've only ever tried one of Benefit's products before, which is their Erase Paste, a concealer that I loved so much that it became a staple in my daily routine. Other than that, I've always admire the Benefit counter from afar.

The 'Do The Hoola' kit, however, does make my fingertips tingle just a teeny tiny bit. It includes the 'Dew The Hoola', a product exclusive to the kit (which is a good enough reason to get it, let's be real), as well as minatures of their infamous Hoola bronzer, They're Real mascara and the Benebalm, which means that you get to try out four of the brand's products for a relatively small price - compared to what they'd usually cost - and make up your mind about them before you go ahead and buy a full size!

6. Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Palette (28,99€)

It's no secret that I'm in love with Urban Decay's much talked about Naked palettes, and while I sadly didn't get the opportunity to pick up the smoky one, I have been eyeing up the second of the 'Basics' palettes for a while.

I love that it's so small and compact which makes it very well suited for travelling (unlike the pretty bulky other palettes) and also the shade selection, which is right up my alley.
Also, with Urban Decay, I know that I'll get good quality, so this definitely is money well spent.

7. 'The Rose Society' by Marie Lu (8,70€)

This book right here is the long awaited sequel to 'The Young Elites', which was one of my favorite reads this year - I even wrote an entire review on it here.

Ever since finishing that book, I've been waiting patiently anxiously for its follow-up because I was so desperate to find out how Adelina's story continues. The wait was actually physically painful - that's how dedicated I became to this story and its characters, woah.

And on top of all the goodness that Marie Lu's books are anyways, I haven't had the time to read in months, so having a good book to sit down with over the holidays would be really freaking nice.

8. Ted Baker Reubin Large Zip Around Purse (~99€)

I don't know what it is about Ted Baker's bags and purses, but somehow I'm magically drawn to them. Everytime I pass them in a store, I just have to take a look at all the pretty, shiny goodies - only to leave with a sigh.

I've wanted to get a Ted Baker purse for so long now, but I never really had the spare money to do so - or, when I actually did, I thought I'd feel way too guilty about spending so much money on a purse that I didn't. So I totally added it to the Christmas wishlist, because who knows, maybe someone who loves me might have less inhibitions than me when it comes to being so spendy. (If only.)

9. The Sims 4 Get Together (39,99€)

I grew up with the 'Sims' franchise, and I've been obsessively playing it ever since 'The Sims 2' came out. Major throwback, right?

The Sims 4 is definitely the reason why I never get shit done. I love the game so much that I like to accidently let it consume next to all of my free time - I'll sit down to play and suddenly it's two hours later. Woops.

So, being the addict that I am, there was no way I would miss the new expansion pack that's coming out at the end of November, which is called 'Get Together'. 

I'm so ready to pull an all-nighter, and I wish I was joking.

Which lusted-after products made your Christmas list this year?

Fall Beauty Wishlist

Ever since I started blogging in late January, seasonal wishlists have become a thing on my blog - I feature both a spring and a summer wishlist throughout this year. I mean obviously, because with every new season come new styles and shades and all kinds of new beauty realses that I get to swoon over!

Beauty wise, fall is kind of a big deal to me as it's finally acceptable for me to dig out some of my favorite products again - the berry lippies, the metallic eyeshadows and the long pamper evenings - they're all coming back now!

1. KIKO 'Rebel Romantic' Metallic Shine Eyeshadow in 'Superb Beige'(6,90€)

KIKO is a brand that I've only had really great experiences with - they're offering high quality products to an insanely affordable price. How are they doing it? I have no clue.

KIKO also comes out with multiple limited editions throughout the year, and while I refrained from buying any of those up 'til now, I couldn't resist the lipsticks their 'Rebel Romantic' range has to offer.
While I was busy spendingmoney on those much needed lippies, I also swatched some of the range's eyeshadows - and this one looked especially lovely. Sadly, I didn't have enough money left to buy it.

2. MAC Mate Lipstick in 'Diva' (20€)

I don't have to tell you about how I feel about MAC lipsticks is because even though they're pretty expensive for a student like me, they're more than a guilty pleasure. They're a fulll on love-affair.

I own five of them so far, but I realized that they're all more on the springy/summery side, so I thought it was time for a proper color for the colder seasons. And this is where Diva comes in.

I'm not going to lie, the shade intimidates me a little because it's so bold, but the burgundy red is so pretty that I want to give it a try.

3. Lush 'Castastrophe Cosmetic' Mask (10,45€)

Face masks are a hit-miss situation for me. They either improve my skin drastically, or they leave it looking even more spotty than it did to beginn with.

Thank god I stumbled upon the ones Lush has to offer one day because ever since then, my skin has been improving greatly.

I tried both the Cupcake and the Mask Of Magnaminty before, out of which I liked the Cupcake one better - both because of the results and because it smells absolutely delicious - so once I run out of the one I'm currently using, I want to try the Catastrophe Cosmetic, which is said to both vitalize and cleanse young skin.

,4. Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette (47,99€)

I know, I know. It looks like someone didn't get the memo. You might remember that once this bad boy was released, everyone and their mother was raving about it. Seriously, I wish I could've been doing that exact same thing.
There was only one problem - I didn't have the funds to buy the damn thing.

And guess what - I still don't! There always seems to be something bigger to save up for. Sigh.
Anyways, Urban Decay's eyeshadows are the best I tried to date and the shades this one comes with look ridiculously pretty - and they're mostly shimmery as well! Right up my alley.

5. Lancôme 'La Vie Este Belle' Intense EdT (106€)

Franzi and her perfumes. Can't she just let them be? The answer is no.

I blame this one on the endless amount of magazines I've been reading lately because they come with quite a lot of samples, and one faithful day, one of them included a sample of this Lancôme perfume.

As the word 'intense' suggest, it does smell rather strong - but of very pleasant things, like oranges, hazelnut, pears and Jasmine. There are so many different fragrance thrown in there, like fruity and floral ones, that I don't really understand how it works out so perfectly.

Judging by its price tag, this one might have to wait for my Christmas lists though - I mean, unless I happen to win the lottery.

6. Maybelline 'The Nudes' Eyeshadow Palette (9,99€)

You might notice a pattern by now. Eyeshadow palettes. Believe me, I know very well that I already own more of those than I could probably use, but they're all different. All beautiful in their own way. I love them all.

Alright, this beauty by Maybelline offers all kinds of nudes - you have your neutrals and your smokeys, mattes and shimmers. There are so many different looks you could create with just this one palette that investing ten bucks in it is totally justified. 

7. Models Own Chrome Nail Polish in 'Rose Gold' (7,99€)

For some reason I didn't realize that Models Own is now available on the German high street? What did I miss? Why did no one inform me?

I've been adoring their nail polishes while reading other blogger's reviews on them, and next to all of those have been rave reviews. Their chrome nail polishes look especially appealing to me as I don't own as single polish that looks like that. And even though rose gold is technically not a fall color, it still is pretty darn dreamy.

8. Tanya Burr 'Hollywood' Eyeshadow Palette (8,34€)

You know, I watched Tanya Burr's videos waaay back in the day (and by that I mean around 2012 or 2013), so featuring a product of her very own range is a little bit mental.

I've actually never tired one of Tanya's products, shame on me, but her brand new palettes are very appealing to me (no, I'm not addicted), especially the Hollywood one as all of the shades are very neutral and wearable.

9. Lush 'The Experimenter' Bath Bomb (5,95€)

Lush, you get me every single time.

All of their recently released products look so pretty that I not only wish I could give them a sniff, but take them all home - but as always, the bath bombs are the stars.

Amongst them, 'The Experimenter' stood out to me because the website mentions that it smells of vanilla - swoon - and because of its gorgeous colors.

What is on your wishlist this fall?

Summer Beauty Wishlist | Beauty

I love summer - the days get longer, the water gets warmer, my hair gets lighter - basically, my life gets a whole lot better, especially as I'll be off school once the end of July comes around.

With summer comes a new season, and with a new season comes a completely new wishlist of mine.

Now, if you've read my most recent post, you will know that alongside some other bloggers, I have decided to not spend a single penny on beauty products this month - but a girl can still dream, especially as all of the products that have made it on my wishlist are so damn dreamy.

Seriously, some of them are prettier than me.

1. Nars Satin Lip Pencil in "Biscayne Park" (23,39€)

This may be shocking coming from a beauty blogger, but I actually don't own a single Nars product, even though I keep stumbling across rave reviews on them.

What stood out to me, besides their infamous blushes, are their lip pencils.

This one in "Biscayne Park" is a pink toned nude, which is the perfect summer nude for me and nothing like the shades I own.

2. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette (27,99€)

If this wasn't so ridiculously expensive, I would already own it. But obviously, I don't, as I'm a more or less broke student who'd have to live off toast for two weeks to be able to afford this.

Alright, serious talk. I feel like this might be the first time I'd use all of the shades in an eyeshadow palette (except the black one, obvs, as that is more than just out of my comfort zone) as they're all neutral shades, which I'm enjoying a lot at the moment.

I own all of the Naked palettes so I know that the quality of these shadows shouldn't let me down.

3. MAC Satin Lipstick in "Cherish" (20€)

There might be a slight pattern going on amongst a lot of my lipsticks - the satin finish. It's the perfect middle between too creamy and a matte, which is harsh and unforgiving on my lips. It's basically a more creamy version of a matte. It's wonderful.

It's also no secret that I have a thing for MAC lipsticks, and I feel like "Cherish", which is a light nude brown, would fit into my collection perfectly.

4. Kiko Tri-Bal Soul Baked Blush in "Deluxe Coral" (14,90€)

Blush is a beauty product that I treat with caution as I have very fair skin - if I don't watch out, blush will make me look like I ran up some stairs and my face went bright pink.

However, I've swatched this particular blush in store before, and it's perfect for me.

There are three shades that you could use on their own - a light pink, which works as more of a highlight, a light orange and a darker pink - or you could swirl your brush around to combine them, so you could create several looks with one product, which I find very practical.

5. Rimmel Good To Glow Highlighter in "Notting Hill Glow" (7,04€)

During summer, I don't use highlighters as frequently as I would during colder seasons, simply because I feel like I'll look like a sparkly vampire in the sunlight.

I was still very intrigued when an increasing number of reviews of this product were appearing on my Bloglovin' feed, and as it's price isn't all to high, I'd be happy to try this once my spending ban's over.

6. Soap & Glory Hand Food (9,99€)

One of the most raved about hand creams of all time, if not the most raved about.

I have really dry, chapped hands so I'd love to try this miracle product out and see if it'll end up doing anything for the issues I have with my hands.

7. Dolce & Gabbana Floral Drops EDT (103€)

In my opinion, a woman can never have too many perfumes.

Going along with that, I've recently discovered this parfume when I was downtown and I instantly fell in love with it.

Just as my beloved Daisy Dream, Floral Drops is, as the name suggests, a flowery scent, which I never used to like, but apparently that's becoming my thing now as I haven't been wearing anything but floral scents over the past few months.

Let's just ignore the price tag, shall we.

8. Lush Mask Of Magnaminty (7,95€)

As I'm about to run out of my beloved Cupcake mask, I've looked into what other masks Lush has to offer and discovered this one.

The "Mask Of Magnaminty" is a deep cleansing mask that will rid your pores of all the dirt that is in them and remove your dead skin cells, leaving your face feeling fresh and renewed,

9. Biotherm Aquasource Total Eye Revitalizer (29,99€)

I got a freeby of this product in a magazine a while back, and it worked wonders on my dark circles, which are a serious issue for me. Think lilacy blue. They'll look like that, even if I get ten hours of sleep.

Can you believe that this discovery changed everything for me?

After application, this instantly cooled the under-eye area and after a few uses, my dark circles seemed a lot lighter and the skin itself a lot softer, so I'm keen on getting my hands on this.

Looking back at it now, I think it was a good idea to actively try to not spend any money on my favorite guilty pleasure this month as I'll have enough time to save up for some of these treasures - if I do end up getting some of the items I included, I will make sure to update you guys!

Spring Beauty Wishlist

It's spring, the season where love is supposed to blossom, but to be honest, the only thing that is actually blossoming is my beauty wishlist.

So naturally, being absolutely broke and completely frustrated, I decided to share my cravings with you guys as some form of therapy.

1. Stila Eyes Are The Window Eyeshadow Palette in "Soul" (~44€)

Do I own enough eyeshadow palettes? Probably. Do I still need this in my life? Hell yes.
I've been eyeing up several of Stila's eyeshadow palettes for a while now, but I've come to the conclusion that this one is exactly what my soul I need.
It contains both matte and shimmer shades and a lot of copper and brown tones, which I'm loving at the moment.
Might I add, the packaging of this absolutely gorgeous. It makes the product seem even more luxurious and is just such a pleasure to look at.

2. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in "Very Victoria" (31,95€)

I have heard so, so many great things about Charlotte Tilbury's products, but sadly, they're still really hard to get hold of where I live.
Their matte revolution lipsticks, however, might be worth the extra effort (and money, sigh) I'll have to put into getting them, because let's be real, they're absolute swoon-worthy.
There are a few shades that I'm liking from this range, but when I bite the bullet and purchase a lipstick that's this pricy, I want a shade that I'll get the most possible wear out of - so "Very Victoria", a light brown toned nude, took my heart by storm.

3. Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter (34,99€)

Even though I always get sucked in by the Benefit counter everytime I'm shopping downtown, I actually don't own any of their products yet - because hey, most of them are over thirty Euros, and I'm a stressed out student.

However, the one product that I keep swatching everytime I'm there is their Watt's Up highlighter. I've been looking for a good quality highlighter for a while now and I just find the finish of this very nice, it appears to leave a healthy glow - something that I'm seriously lacking.

4. MAC Satin Lipstick in "Brave" (20€)

If you've read my review of Mac's "Twig" (which you can find here), you will know how much I adore Mac's lipsticks - especially the ones with a satin finish.
I spent a good thirty minutes swatching shades at the Mac counter last Saturday, noting down the ones I liked to do a little research, and "Brave" is the one that has won my heart.
I'm more a subtle lip kinda gal - reds scare the living shit out of me - so this beauty would nicely fit into my collection.
Besides, how wrong can you go with a Mac lipstick?

5. Benefit Rollerlash Mascara (24,99€)

This one has been all over the blogosphere for the past two months, and really, I'm dying to try this. If I didn't have a few unused mascaras floating around in my drawer, I think I would've picked this up already.
I have insanely short lashes, and achieving a curl is next to impossible, so I would be really interested in seeing if this miracle product really does what it promises.

6. Rimmel Lasting Finish Cream Concealer (7,74€)

On top of dealing with those stubby eyelashes, I have the worst dark circles you could imagine. Think dark purple, insanely huge. There's nothing that covers those.

I've read a few good reviews on this product, and seeing that so far I've always gotten along with Rimmel's products really well, this would be worth and try and won't even break my bank balance.

7. Maybelline Color Drama Velvet Lip Pencil in "Nude Perfection" (4,90€)

I already own one of these in the shade "Pink So Chic", a darker plum color, which I reviewed on here, so I know that I'm probably going to like this one as well.
As I mentioned above, nude lips are my thing at the moment, and I've heard a few people call this their perfect nude, so I've got high hopes.

8. Essie Nailpolish in "Mint Candy Apple" (7,99€)

I feel like everyone and their mother owns this shade, and I know, I know, I actually own multiple mint-ish shades, but this one is just so pretty to pass up.
I don't own a single nailpolish by Essie yet - shocking, I know - and I feel like maybe I should change that this spring.

9. "Daisy Dream" by Marc Jacobs (91€)

I have been lusting after this perfume for over a year now, and if it wasn't so damn expensive, I would probably bathe in this.
I love this scent. It's light, but not so light that you could miss it, and it's floral, which is a huge change for someone like me who's usually more into sweet scents.
I feel like this is something I should mention in a few conversations with my parents, wink wink.

These are actually only a few of the many products that fill my ever extending wish list, and I'll make sure to keep you guys updated on whether or not I'll actually treat myself to one of them!

Thank you so much for reading!

Spring Fashion Wishlist

The sun is coming out, the days are getting warmer - spring is my favorite season to go out and do some damage while shopping!

1 Top Nancy - Another8 * 63,24€ | 2 Skinny Jeans - Pimkie 19,99€ | 3 Peplumtop - H&M 14,99€ | 4 Denim Jacket - H&M 29,99€ | 5 Circle Skirt - ASOS 28,99€ | 6 Arnie Pilot Sunglasses - Topshop 16€  | 7 Sandals - New Look 14,99€ | 8 Bracelet - Topshop 7€ | 9 Handbag - Pimkie 19,99€

1 This crop top just has something about it that makes me contemplate whether I should get it, even if the price tag is a bit bigger - especially for a poor student like me.

The cute little details make it look so interesting and fun!

2 To me, there is not better feeling than wearing skinny jeans. I own a lot of darker ones, but I feel like a pastel-ish light blue will be great for spring - and I've only ever had good experiences with Pimkie's jeans.

3 I've been loving peplumtops since last fall and I find the lace detailing of this particular one really chic - and you can never really go wrong with a black piece of clothing, trust me and my wardrobe.

4 I recently realized that I don't own a single denim jacket, so I made it my mission to get one this spring.

This one from H&M look pretty neat, and I feel like it'd be a good value for money.

5 As you may have realized, I'm starting to dash out the lighter colors in spring, so when I saw this skirt on ASOS, a million ways to style it popped into my head.

I also like that it's mid-lenght because it nicely hides my thighs, which I'm still not too comfortable with.

6 I have to admit that I already own two pairs of pilot sunglasses, but the shade of the actual glass looks so cute - I might have to give in and get another one.

7 Shoes are the part of my outfit I'm often the most adventurous with, and as I like light pastel colors, these are right up my street!

I feel like they would go perfectly with the skinny jeans I mentioned above.

8 I'm also really into jewelery right now, but while I like funky necklaces, I usually keep my bracelets simple. The knot in this one, however, adds a fancy twist.

9 I've wanted to get one of these bags for absolute ages and I think this one would go well with some boots and ripped jeans, so I am definitely going to get it the next time I go on a shopping spree.

What are some items that are on your wishlist this spring?
