Catrice New Products for Autumn/Winter 2015 and my Wishlist

1. Chocolate Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

010 Choc'Let It Be

I was hoping Catrice would make a chocolate palette and I'm glad my wishes came true. I'm a huge fan of the Absolute Matt Eyeshadow Palette, so I have high hopes for this one. For one the shades certainly look gorgeous from the preview. 

5.29 €

2. Highlighting Powder 

010 Stardust

I love their blushes in the same design, though I don't find them very illuminating on my cheeks, so maybe these will be not super shimmery, but subtly glowy which I would actually prefer. There will be two versions, a pink toned and gold highlighter.

4.29 €

3. Defining Blush

100 Rose Couture

My love for Defining Blushes is well documented and out of the three new shades, this one seems most promising. If it's a warm pink in real life, it's going home with me.

3.79 €

4. Prime and Fine Professional Contouring Palette

010 Ashy Radiance

Along with the chocolate palette, I'm most excited about this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the quality is nice (though Catrice rarely disappoints anyway) and that the contour powder is a nice taupe shade that is appropriate for my pale skin. 

4.69 €

5.Eyematic Eyepowderpen

050 Al Cappuccino

I've seen such eyeshadows before and though they never proved to be very popular designs, I'd like to give one a try, probably the darkest brown shade, since most look very light.

4.29 €

6. Ultimate Nail Lacquer

94  It's A Very Berry Bash

I'm a sucker for berries, so there is a high chance I'll fall in love with the colour when I see it in person. I haven't bought a Catrice nail polish is a very long time (from the Ultimate line that is) due to the most idiotic brush they had (granted Bourjois' 10 Days was a whole new level of hell compared to this one), but they have since changed them and I hear they have been much improved.

2.49 €

7. Shine Appeal Fluid Lipsticks

I saw this one coming. Everyone is releasing these intense lip gloss formulas and I'm a fan of them (L'Oreal's is amazing). I wonder what these will be like and I'm even more interested in the colour range.

Wishlist #18

1. STILA Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Intense Black

I've had a streak of bad luck with felt tip eyeliners this year, though I'm currently finally very happy with that Born Pretty "panda liner", but even before I got that one, I've had this Stila one on my wishlist for quite a while. I've heard so many good things about it and also Nadja recommended that I should try it, so I really wish to give it a go. Also Emily from Beauty with Emily Fox says that it supposedly lasts about a year which sounds amazing. It's quite expensive, but with my discount code that I've been saving, the price should be more reasonable.

Feel Unique, 17.81 €.

2. L'OCCITANE Pivoine Flora eau de parfum

I am head over heels in love with the scent of the Pivoine Sublime moisturiser, seriously the application is so enjoyable and I quickly put this fragrance on my wishlist, even though I'm not even sure that it's the exact same scent. I'm not a fan of floral scents, but the moisturiser smells so amazing, just like fresh flowers. There are both the eau de parfum and eau de toillete available, either of which I wouldn't mind owning, however, the price is quite steep, so I don't see that happening very soon (maybe for my birthday).

L'Occitane, 49.80 € (50 ml).

3. MAKEUP REVOLUTION  Salvation Velvet Matte Lip Lacquer 

Rebel

I never got the hype around MAC's Rebel lipstick because it just looked too purple and dark for my taste, but I suddenly changed my mind and started investigating this very autumnal shade now in the spring. I'm a fan of that warm purple-rose colour like Essie's nail polish in Bahama Mama and the likes, so I'd love to have such a shade for the lips as well. This shade by Makeup Revolution looks like what I'm looking for, though I must say that their lip gloss packaging is terrible, but I'm willing to overlook that for this colour. 

Ličila.si, 4.95 €; Makeup Revolution, £3.00.

4. WET N'WILD Mega Last Matte Lipstick

Sugar Plum Fairy

This is another one of the Rebel-like shades and for me it will be an either or situation, meaning I'll get either Sugar Plum Fairy or MR's Rebel, whichever is cheaper and more accessible. This is a super popular shade and I've heard so many good things about it, but I never gave it a closer look. I've actually seen these in Croatian DM's and I didn't pick one which I regret now.
I am worried though that this colour will look completely purple on me.

Destination Pretty, 3.95 €; DM Hrvatska, 23 kn (list of DM's in Croatia that sell Wet n' Wild).

5. L'OREAL Mattifying Infallible Foundation

10 Porcelain

Almost every British blogger raves or at least talks favourably about this foundation and I need to try it. I'm concerned about the lightest shade (as always), but I swatched the shade Porcelain from the "regular" Infallible foundations and it looked very promising (but the price was the off putting factor that made me not buy it). It's supposedly a medium-high coverage foundation with a nice, non cakey matte finish. This will be mine. 

Boots International, £6.99; Feel Unique, €12.32.

6. THE LIBRARY OF FRAGRANCE Sunshine 

In the USA these are called Demeter fragrances and I've had my eye on them for a couple of years now, since I started exploring Fragrantica. They have an impressive collection of interesting scents, ranging from one note fragrances like Peach, Green Tea and Lime to some very unique scents like Baby's Head, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Storm and even Pizza - their creativity appears to have no limits. Boots got them a few months ago, for some reason under a different name and I so want to try at least one, even though I now they most likely have a very weak staying power. I have my heart set on Sunshine because I love that word and I presume it smells fresh and warm as well as citrusy.

Boots International, £15.00.

7. & 8. BALEA Luxury Red Love Line

Pampering shower gel & pampering bath

I recently found the bath salt from this line, which intrigued me from the first time I saw it on their Instagram, since it says it smells like peach and coconut. You know I can't walk past peach scented products. I was so excited about the bath salt that I quickly opened it up to see how it smells and the wonderful aroma stayed in my nostrils quite a while. The scent of this is to die for! I mostly smell peach and a tiny bit of coconut, but in a super sexy way. It's similar to their discontinued Nectarine shower gel, but kind of darker and warmer. I love it! I hope we get the rest of the line here in Slovenia.
There is also a gold version that smells like vanilla and patchouli.

DM, the bath salt costs 0.79 €.

9. BALEA Rasiergel Pink Grapefruit

This is the latest edition of Balea's amazing shave gels and I'll be sure to try this one once it reaches our DM's. Pink Grapefruit scented product  usually have such an uplifting fresh, but sweet scent, so I have high hopes for this. 

DM,  1.99 € (presumably)

I also want to thank you for reaching 1000 followers on Bloglovin' today (unless someone unsubscribes in the next couple of days, then this will just sound stupid). Thank you for reading my little rambles, for every comment and save/like on social media. I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I love writing them.

Have a great day!

Drugstore Wishlist #17

1. MAX FACTOR Creme Puff Blush

Lavish Mauve

I must admit that probably no one will ever convince me that these are actual proper dupes for Hourglass blushes (based on my experience people are too loose with the word dupe), however, they are gaining some seriously positive feedback. I especially trust the reviews of Lovely Girlie Bits, which convinced me to put Lavish Mauve on my wishlist. I don't have many illuminating blushes in my collection, at least not proper ones, so these are very tempting. I am kind of doubtful that these will be sold here, but I hope I am wrong (distributors please prove me wrong). 

Boots International,  £8.99.

2. ART DECO High Precision Liquid Liner

01

When I was searching for a felt tip liner the last time, for some reason it didn't even occur to me to check Art Deco (or Makeup Factory and Isadora. I just forget we even have these brands because no one talks about them). I saw this liner on their Instagram and went to check it out the next day. This is seriously, seriously good! I applied it on the back of my hand and it lasted two (!) days. I washed my hands so many times that I lost count, but it didn't even fade. This is really waterproof and it appears it has amazing staying power. The formula looked fantastic as well, super black and nicely liquid. This is on the top of my wishlist.

Müller, 13 €.

3. I ♡ MAKEUP Naked Chocolate Palette

I was never particularly impressed my Makeup Revolution or their I ♡ Makeup brand. All they basically do is copy everyone else and create products of mostly lesser quality, but that's just my opinion and experience so far. However, I read on Miss Magpie that this palette actually has very decent matte eyeshadows and I absolutely love the neutral-brown colour selection in it. Apparently it also smells like nicely sweet. I wouldn't mind having this in my collection.

Makeup Revolution, £7.99; Ličila.si, 10.95 €. 

4. KIKO Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush

07 Natural Rose

I got a bit of Kiko fever recently. I've never actually seen their stuff in person except for a few seconds (I blame my friend for that), nor do I own any of their products, but I'm seriously itching to either go to Trieste or order online (btw. everything is 20% off with a code  4ALLWOMEN. Valid until 10.3.2015). These blushes are just one of their things that got my attention. I don't really own any such type of blush and I'd like to give them a go. I choose the shade Natural Rose, though the internet is still stingy with swatches of Kiko products, but I chose it because I have nothing similar.

Kiko, 7.90 €.

5. BOURJOIS Colorband 2-in-1 Eyeshadow and Liner

Beige Minimal and Brun Dadaiste

Pencil or stick eyeshadows are another item I have none of and I heard a lot of good things about the new Bourjois ones. I went to check if we have them yet a few days ago, but we aren't so lucky. I'm most interested in the light, shimmery shade Beige Minimal and the deeper, bronze Brun Dadaiste. I hope there reach Slovenia. Soon.

Feel Unique, €8.15.

6. KIKO Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow

Golden Brown, Golden Chocolate & Golden Taupe

Continuing my Kiko discussion, I hear these a must buy if you ever go to Kiko and are compared to some more expensive brand's one. Almu from Feel Bella also placed them in her five best Kiko products, so I'm very intrigued by them. I'd like a nice natural, everyday shade that I could use when I'm in a hurry and I'm still choosing between three shades, but again I think I need to see these in person, though that discount is awfully appealing.

By the way, if you have any other Kiko recommendations, leave them in the comments. 

Kiko, 6.90 €.

7. REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Honey

I never paid much attention to these and I'm glad the hype has passed, but a couple of weeks ago I was casually strolling through Müller and swatched this just for fun. It immediately appealed to me because I don't think I have anything similar in my collection. It's just a simple natural pink shade that I presume goes with everything. It appears to me that this shade looks different on everyone (my cousin says it looks very cool toned on her), but I hope it will look nice on my lips against my pale complexion.

Müller and Click2Chic, 10.89 €.

8. REVLON Colorburst Matte Balm

Sultry

This shade of Matte Balms completely captivated me. It looks like such a beautiful berry-rose-natural shade and I have nothing similar. I already have the shade called Unapologetic and I'm fond of the texture of these, though they aren't really matte. Not surprisingly, both Unapologetic and Sultry, aren't sold here, so I can only order from abroad. 

Another somewhat similar shade interests me. It's from Bourjois' Rouge Edition lines called 30 Prune Afterwork. I might go for that one because it's actually sold here.

Boots International, £7.99. 

9. MISSLYN L'Amour Toujours LE Effect Top Coat

764 Mon Amour

I've been eyeing this for so long, but I'm the type of shopper who carefully considers every purchase and the five euro price doesn't make me happy (let's be honest, it's just a topper I'll likely use only a few times). But it is sooo pretty. I'm really into hearts at the moment and this is just adorable. If anyone is interested, Katja used it here.

Müller, 5 €.

10. BARRY M Speedy Quick Dry Nail Paint

Pit Stop, Eat my Dust and Road Rage

I don't really care about the formula of these, whether they do dry fast or not because I always put Seche Vite on top, but what got me is the colour range. This has to be one of the prettiest colour ranges I've seen in a long time. It's all about spring inspired pastels and I adore pastels on the nails. Three shades appeal to me most: the light grey Pit Stop, light sky blue Eat my Dust and the mint green Road Rage.

Boots International, £3.99. 

11. YANKEE CANDLE Soft Blanket

This would actually be a repurchase as I already had the wax melt once before (I still keep a small chunk in my drawer). This is one of the best smells I've ever smelled. Ever. It's soft, warm and cosy, it invites images of a warm home and snuggling under a freshly washed blanket. I am completely enchanted by it, so I am dangerously close to doing the one stupid that I dislike - paying too much for a candle (anyone else shocked at how much these candle cost, even if they are huge?). However, I think I'll again settle for just a wax melt, even though it didn't really work the way I expected. By the way, does anyone know a fragrance that might be similar?

Müller, 1.79 - 24.90 €.

Anything on your wishlist? Have a great day!

My Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is at the end of the month and the only fairly exciting thing in these cold, after-holidays boring days of January is picking up what to splurge on as a treat.  

1. JOHN FRIEDA Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer

You may remember that I bought this as a gift for someone in December. Well, I had the chance to try it on her hair and it's bloody amazing. With one swipe all the frizz was completely gone, it looked even better than using a straightener. My precise words after the first try where: "Holly mother of God, I need this!". And the hair looked so shiny, it just looked like someone photoshopped it, except for a tiny strand where too much of the product was applied (note: wipe the wand before application). I've been dreaming about this ever since. The catch is that I can only find it on Boots International and that 10 € shipping fee is painful if you don't buy several items. Perhaps I should try some sort of a clear mascara available here first?

2. L'OREAL True Match Foundation 

N1

So many people included this in their 2014 favourites and I almost bought it several times last year, but changed my mind at the last second. With the help of one my readers I established that I probably need shade N1, which is one of the shades not sold in Slovene drugstores (a round of applause for the importers *sarcasm off*), so I've got no other choice than to order online (with a nice discount code, I'll get it cheaper than here anyway).

3. IT'S A 10 Miracle Leave-In Product

As a hair care junkie and I can't avoid the hype surrounding this. Just as Healthy Sexy Hair Tri-Wheat Leave-in Conditioner this is a highly praised product especially on MUA and since HSH leave-in is the bomb.com, I have high hopes this is good as well.  It promises to repair dry damaged hair, add shine, smooth & control frizz, seal & protect hair colour, to detangle, stop hair breakage and protect against heat damage. Basically it contains keratin and proteins, while it's a nourishing leave-in conditioner and a thermal protector. I'm heading to order this right now (on eBay from the USA), so it will hopefully arrive on my door step before/on my birthday.

4. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation 

Siberia

I know, I know, I included this in a couple wishlists already, but it's hard to part from so much money. I did promise myself last year after I bought Radiant Creamy concealer that next year I'll get this for my birthday. The thing is that the damn shipping costs are so high on NARS EU website (20 €!?) if I don't order over 50 € and the foundation plus the pump costs below that mark. The reason why I want to order from there is that it's the only place which has the pump for a reasonable price, otherwise I'd just order the foundation from HqHair. First world problem here. One of my readers Tamara sent me a sample of Siberia and it's a nice match for me plus it looks a lot nicer on the skin than my other paler foundation Rimmel's Lasting Finish Nude, which tends to settles in my pores and just looks a bit off. Though I admit, Sheer Glow does get a bit patchy at the end of day (that's my only complaint), I love the coverage and the finish, plus I got a lot of compliments wearing it (especially regarding the colour match).

5. HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Powder 

Diffused Light

I so wish I could try one of these or their blushes (the trio palette is gorgeous), but I think that for now this will truly just remain merely a wish. I could order it from Urban Retreat Boutique, but together with shipping (10 €) it would put a serious dent in my purse, which I find hard to justify. It's a finishing powder/highlighter hybrid, so similar to Guerlain Meteorites, but in pressed form. I have Bourjois Java Poudre de Riz powder, which I think is similar and I adore it, however, I always wonder if the grass is greener on the high-end side.  

6. BALEA Bodybutter Nuss

Sara (Passing Fancy) caused the lemming for this one with her wonderful Nuts about Nuts & Cocoa post. This body butter looks like a nice cheap thrill and I always love such products. Sara says it smells like Monte (hazelnut-chocolate-milky dessert), which in my books can't be bad at all. Though, I should try to use up one of my body butters before buying this. 

7. Katy Perry Royal Revolution

I always love it when the bottles look like a decoration in the room and this one is beautiful. I included this fragrance on one of my previous wishlists, but I think it's time I finally take the plunge, I have, after all, used up several of my fragrances and I keep spraying this in the shop. It's very different from the vanilla sweet Killer Queen, which didn't completely appeal to me, rather Royal Revolution is not as strong and vanillary, but more toned down, yet still sweet. Notes.

8. Britney Spears Fantasy the Naughty Remix

I'm getting pathetic with putting this on so many of my wishlists - just get it already, right? As a huge fan of the original Fantasy, I find that this is the best flanker so far because it's just a fruitier version of the original, but still a lovely, warm scent for these colder months. Notes on Fragrantica. 

9. Aqualina Pink Sugar

A year or so ago, I ordered a sample of this and I was so underwhelmed that I just put in in my purse as a "just-in-case/backup fragrance" (I have a few in there. I'm aware I'm odd, but I feel naked without a fragrance) and forgot about it. I sprayed it one day when I was bored out of my mind waiting for someone and I just loved it so much. I'm a huge fan of candy, sweet fragrances and this is exactly it. It's so cosy and sugary, like a warm hug, but I think it's not completely gourmand like Fantasy. I smell a mix of caramel and liquorice notes, but mostly cotton candy and there are also some fruity notes in the background. 

10. RED CHERRY Eyelashes

Not long ago I wore Ardell's Demi Wispies again and I loved it so much. I know I don't really need falsies, but they look so pretty and eye-catching. I should get the Ardells again, but I'd also like to give these a go. Dizzy Brunette talked about ordering a pack of six from this seller in this post.

Lara Sweetheart Neck Skater Dress in grape from Boohoo

I love the colour and it's not too expensive, not to mention I happen to be the skater dress/skirt queen as I wear them throughout all year (I find trousers so restrictive, like little legs prison). I'm just not sure about the fit of this dress. I ordered two of their dresses and I had to fix them, though the quality is great. 

Black Bow Ring (s) from eBay

I don't pay much for jewellery as you will see. I think this ring looks cool and it's adjustable, which is always appreciated if you have slim fingers like me.

Infinity Ring from eBay

I've wanted to have this for ages, this and a dainty bow ring, but as someone with slim fingers my choices are limited. This one is supposedly 16 mm wide, which is exactly what I need. I'd love to have the infinity necklace from H&M as well. I just love dainty jewellery.

Sleepy Owl Silicone Case

I haven't had a chance to tell you that I got a new phone and this is the case I chose to keep it in. By the way, from now on the pictures on the blog will be taken with Samsung Galaxy S5.

Elastic Gold Leaves Headband

I'd like to have some more glamorous or metal headbands and the leaves motive appeals to me. This one from H&M is gorgeous as well

Leaves Gold Hair Pin

Another leaves inspired hair accessory. I just think it looks so pretty. I love the bees version as well

Gold Chain Elastic Headband

Another gold headband. I've seen a prettier one in H&M in rose gold, but it was 5€, which is a bit much for just a simple hair accessory (I'm one cheap bastard, aren't I?). 

ASOS Petite Skater Dress With Textured Seam Detail And Short Sleeves

ASOS Petite brand fits me like a glove, which is a rarity, since I'm a short stick of nothing (I get (to me hurtful) comments about my size pretty much daily). It's a really expensive dress for what I usually pay for clothes, but the material looks nice and I really like the colour.

Wallet Case for Smartphone

I like these, though I think it makes it easier to lose everything valuable at once if someone nicks it, but I can't deny it's not damn practical. My wallet is quite big and sometimes I don't want to carry everything with me, so I'm getting one of these. I just can't decide which one. There are so many pretty ones, but I really like these because they have a mirror. Some of my other choices:  1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Which one do you like best?

So I'm off doing a bit of online shopping. Have a great day!

Wishlist #15

1. L'OREAL Collection Exclusive Lipsticks Pure Reds

in Laetitia and Blake

This is on the very top of my wishlist, especially the Laetitia shade, which is a gorgeous deep burgundy colour, while Blake is a glamorous cherry red. I swatched both and compared them with some other shades in this Instagram photo. I think the finish of both of these is almost matte or creamy-matte, which is just up my alley. I need these in my life.

Drugstores,  around 13 €.

2.  MAYBELLINE Color Drama Lipstick

in Berry Much and Red Essential

Everyone talks about how these are a nice drugstore alternative to the NARS' Velvet Pencils, so naturally I'm intrigued. I sneakily already ordered Berry Much since Boots has a 3 for 2 offer at the moment (a little tip for you), but I'm still waiting for package. If happen to like these, I'm also interested in the shade called Red Essential, which is supposedly very similar to NARS' Cruella.

Boots International, £4.99.

3. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

in Siberia

You may have seen in my latest New in that I purchased a new Rimmel foundation that fits me so well in terms of shade, but the formula is so hard to work with. Since I'm so fed up with crappy, very light foundations that I put up with purely for the shade, I think it's finally time that I take the plunge and get the highly praised Sheer Glow in the lightest shade called Siberia. It's going to be painful to fork out so much money for a foundation, but I feel like I have no other choice, since almost every drugstore brand refuses to make a really light shade (why am I being punished for being naturally pale?).

HqHair, 39 €.

4. ESSENCE Colour & Go

in 167 Candy Love and 175 Be Berry Now!

After being blown away by the quality of Colour & Go line, I asked you in that review, which shades you like. Katja from Viva La Vida recommended Candy Love, which based on her swatch looks amazing - I love full coverage nude shades. The other, Be Berry Now, I found by checking the swatches of all the nail polishes and it's the colour I'm so into at the moment, a purple-red shade a.k.a. berry (I've got a whole Pinterest board dedicated to it). Both should end up in my shopping basket very soon.

Drugstores, 1.67 €.

5. ESSIE Nail Polish 

in Bahama Mama 

I've heard so many people say that Bahama Mama is their favourite autumnal shade and it's a shade that has intrigued me for a while now. It looks like a beautiful deep berry shade, again a colour I'm really into at the moment. I'm kind of hoping for a discount soon in DM. Swatch here (tell me it looks like this?).

DM, 9.99 €.

6. DEBORAH MILANO Smalto Gel Effect 

in 01 

Yes, another nail polish. I don't think I ever wanted so many new nail polishes. I saw this on Zlatana's blog and it immediately went on my wishlist. It reminds me of Essie's Spin the Bottle, so it's again an opaque nude shade that looks very classy on the nails.  

Drugstores, about 5 €.

7. BOURJOIS Lévres Contour Edition 

in T02 Cotton Candy

I've recently spoken about Catrice's lip liners and my thirst for more liners hasn't been quite quenched yet. I swatched this in the shop and it's a very cute pinky-natural shade. I also tried the shade T01, but my cousin and I established that shades like that don't suit me, nonetheless it's a beautiful colour for the 90's trend.

Drugstores, about 6 € or Feel Unique,7.14 €.

8. CLARINS Instant Eye Make Up Remover

I still have a generous sample of this and it's so good. I use waterproof mascara practically daily and my current rubbish drugstore removers aren't doing their job. This removes mascara and eye liner with ease, it doesn't make my vision foggy, isn't super greasy and it smells so lovely. But the price is just extortion, though as I said in my original review, I find I use a lot less of it than at cheaper removers.

Müller, about 20 €.

9. CHARLES WORTHINGTON Volume & Bounce Texturising Spray

I heard this is a dupe for Oribe Texturising Spray, though I must admit I'm reluctant to believe that. But even if it's just a similar enough product, I'm intrigued by it, since I like using such products right after I've curled my hair as I find it makes them look better. I actually already ordered it (remember 3 for 2?), I'm just waiting for it to arrive.

Boots International, £6.99.

10. EMMA HARDIE 4 Piece Starter Kit

I saw this offer thanks to Almu from Feel Bella and I didn't even hesitate to place an order, especially since it was an additional 10 % off (I'm basically just sharing this offer with you before it's too late). It contains Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm (50 ml),  Amazing Face Age Support Cream (15ml), Amazing Face Dual Action Professional Cleansing Cloth and a wash bag. I'm not going to say it's a generous offer because I don't' find it is, however, I wanted to try the Cleansing Balm for so long, but under no circumstances am I ready to fork out almost 50 € for a pot, especially since I might end up with a full size product that I may not even end up liking. I'm looking forward to trying this.

Feel Unique, 27.30 €.

11. BOMB COSMETICS 

Just look at how adorable are these! There are obviously duping Lush stuff, but trying to stay at a more reasonable price range, which I appreciate a lot, especially considering Lush's prices in Slovenia are just not normal (as if I'm going to pay 6 € for something that fizzes out in 5 minutes, though I admit these aren't the cheapest either, they are lot more reasonably priced). I think these look even cuter, especially the snow man bath bomb (Chilly Willy, smells like cinnamon), the cupcake bath (Milk & Honey), the ice cream sundae bath bomb (Cherry Bathe Well, smells like cherries, cookies, coconut and white chocolate), the heart shaped massage bar (Summer Honey) and that Honey Bee looking dupe (Goodnight Honey). They have some great looking gifts as well.

1. ZOEVA 223 Petite Eye Blender Brush

 Zoeva brushes are highly praised and honestly, I wouldn't mind owning a whole set of their brushes if I didn't find them such a big investment, however, I'd love to own at least one. I've owned the Coastal Scents Round Crease brush forever now and it's the only brush that I truly love for using in the "crease" of my hooded eyes both for applying and blending eyeshadow, so I'd like something similar, but of great quality and this Zoeva one appeals to me greatly.

Zoeva, 7.80 €. 

2. ECOTOOLS Tapered Blush Brush

Another brush that caught my attention. Currently I'm using an Artdeco blush brush that is again ancient and is getting scratchier with every wash, so I need a new one. All Ecotools brushes I own are great quality and affordable, so their blush brush is the next on my list also because of great reviews on Makeup Alley. 

iHerb, $6.99.

3. TWEEZERMAN Mini Slanted Tweezers

After my recent tweezers disappointment (Ebeline's ones), I'm splurging for a highly praised Tweezerman ones. I want them to be as small as possible because I need them to be really precise and able to pluck any hair. These minis look like they're able to do the job and they are mint green - my favourite colour.

Beauty Bay, 12.70 €.

4. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Copehagen

I'm a fan of NYX matte lip creams and of burgundy shades, so this immediately caught my attention. I actually already ordered it, but I still have to wait 3 weeks for it too arrive.

eBay, $5.40 (+ shipping).

5. Bumble and Bumble Suft Spray

50ml

I don't even know why I want this. I'm kind of thinking it'd be great for third-fourth day hair when I put it in a bun overnight to revive the curls. I'll settle for the travel size first.

Look Fantastic, €12.35. 

6. RIMMEL Lasting Finish Nude Foundation in 010 Light Porcelain

Since I just used up my Match Perfection foundation in the same shade, I desperately need a new light pink toned foundation for mixing, but instead of repurchasing MP, which I never really liked, I'd like to try this one. It's supposed to be a lightweight medium coverage foundation, a sibling of the original Lasting Finish and I hope it'll sit nicer on my skin than Match Perfection .

Feel Unique, 10.39€. 

7. KÉRASTASE Discipline Range 

Fluidissime, Bain Fluidealiste, Maskeratine

Kérastase is my favourite hair brand and they recently launched the Discipline range designed for unruly frizzy hair, which sounds right up my alley. The first reviews sound amazing, so I'm itching to get my hands on it.

All Beauty, 16.33-26.41€. 

Another wishlist I already posted long ago on social media. My fragrance wishlist is getting a bit out of control, but I love fragrances and I just used up quite a few, so I'd like to treat myself a bit. 

Fantasy The Nice Remix by Britney Spears

A fruitier version of the original, but still a lovely, warm scent for these colder months. Notes on Fragrantica. 

 All Beauty, 25.60 €; Salma, 25.25 € (100 ml).

Boss Ma Vie Pour Femme by Hugo Boss

It reminds me of a shampoo with a slightly tropical scent and to me it smells very soft, modern and feminine. A great everyday scent. Notes on Fragrantica. 

Műller, 49.79 - 69.99 €.

Royal Revolution by Katty Perry 

How awesome is the bottle? It's quite unusual for a celebrity scent meaning it's more sophisticated and not the typical fruity vanilla scent. Notes on Fragrantica

All Beauty 21.05 - 34.49 €; Salma 19.20 - 26.20 €.

Reveal by Calvin Klein

It smells so sexy and deep. I mostly get cinnamon mixed with their Euphoria fragrance. Notes on Fragrantica

Müller, Salma 57.90 - 64.20 €.

Volare by Oriflame

I shallowly admit I want it purely for the gorgeous bottle. Apparently it smells similar to Tresor. Notes on Fragrantica

Oriflame 27.9 € (50 ml).

Can Can Burlesque by Paris Hilton

I'm a huge fan of the original and the new one supposedly smells similar, but woodier. Notes on Fragrantica.
Salma, 27.90 € (100 ml).

Just Cavalli by Roberto Cavalli
I adore this scent. It's similar to Lâncome's Poeme, which to me means very 90's, since my mother wore that fragrance. It's creamy, sexy and cosy. Notes on Fragrantica.
All Beauty, 37.05 - 49.85 €; Salma, 30.90 - 46.90 €.

The Body Shop Vineyard Peach Body Mist

Vineyard Peach is my favourite ever scent and I want this so bad, but I just can't get this anywhere online, at least not for a decent price. 

I already posted this on Facebook, but Ebeline (DM brand) included quite a few hair brushes in their range and I hope these reach Slovenia. I'm temped by most of them, especially by the Teasing brush (2.95 €), Shampoo and scalp massage brush (2.95 €) as well as the Keratin brush (6.95 €). If you know German, you can find more information here and here. 

Have a great day!

1. CATRICE Defining Blush 

015 Pink Charming, 025 Pink feat. Coral and  090 Mandy-rine

It finally happened - Catrice released more shades of their fabulous Defining Blushes *angels singing*. These are at the very top of my favourite formulas, but their range was so limited that only two colours truly appealed to me. But now, there are four new shades available and I'm interested in these three. I'm so excited that they released a peachy-pink shade and a swatch of Mandy-rine on Beauty Palmira, promises it is a winner as well.

Müller, DM 3.79 €.

2. CATRICE Nude Illusion Foundation

I've heard some great things about how wonderful this foundation looks on the skin and it was even compared to the Giorgio Armani Liquid Silk foundation. Since I just used up one of my foundations (quite unexpectedly, actually), I might try this one next. From online swatches I saw that the lightest shade looks neutral, which suits me very well, I just hope it's light enough. If you're interested here are two reviews: by Lovely Girlie Bits  and by Total Makeup Addict.

Müller, DM 7.69 €.

3. TANGLE TEEZER Compact Styler Shaun The Sheep

I've owned the original black Tangle Teezer for six years and I must admit the launch of the new compact stylers a couple of years ago left me cold as I didn't really "get" them, until I saw my cousin pull out one out from her handbag. I honestly think that these are better than the originals. They are smaller, look a billion times better made and have a handy cover, so very travel friendly. Not to mention how adorable the Shaun the Sheep back is.

All Beauty 11.9 €, Salma 13.27 €.

4. Boss Ma Vie Pour Femme by HUGO BOSS

Is it just me or does Boss just own the simple, office appropriate shampoo-type of scents market? I'm already a massive fan of the original Boss Nuit Pour Femme and this one is a recently released version. It reminds me of a shampoo with a slightly tropical scent and to me it smells very soft, modern and feminine. Notes on Fragnantica.

Műller, 49.79 - 69.99 €

5. CATRICE Ultimate Colour 360 MATTraction

No, I'm not quite finished with Catrice, actually I think their latest new products are a very good bunch, even though I'm getting really tired of Catrice and Essence switching everything up all the time and discontinuing everything in their path. I saw a swatch of the new matte lipsticks on Beauty Palmira and the pinky-red MATTraction really caught my eye because it looks just like my type of shade.

Müller, DM 4.19 €

6. CATRICE Illuminating Blush 020 Coral Me Maybe

This blush looks so pretty and though I'm a bit afraid that illumination means it has chunks of shimmer in it, I remain hopeful that I'm wrong as the colour looks so beautiful. I hope the formula is as good as that of Defining blushes. There are three shades of these blushes available.

Müller, DM, 3.99€.

7. URBAN DECAY Naked2 Basics

As overblown as the Naked series is to the point that it bores me every time a new item is released, I must admit that the launch Naked2 Basic palette appeals to me greatly. The original Basic is a true treasure and my most used palette, in fact, it has converted me from a non-eyeshadow girl to someone who wears eye makeup regularly. The new one again looks like it has some brilliant matte taupe shades, which are right up my alley.

8. TRESEMMÉ Keratin Smooth 7 Day Smooth Shampoo

When someone raves about a hair product it just gets stuck in my head and I need to try it. I've heard praises about this shampoo, particularly about how it makes the hair look smoother and less frizzy. I really can't resist that, can I?

Boots, £5.99.

9. CLINIQUE Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm

I wasn't such a fan of the chubby sticks for the lips fad, but the blushes I can get along with. Any blush that sounds simple to apply gets my attention and I think the concept is kind of cool, even though I actually already have a similar product that I rarely use. The coral shade Robust Rhubarb in particular caught my attention and I'm pleased to hear they have more of a matte finish.

10. BUMBLE AND BUMBLE Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat/Uv Protective Primer

I suspect this is very, very similar to Orofluido Sahara (a spray hair oil with UV) and though I already love that one that doesn't discourage me from wanting to try Bumble & Bumble's version. Honestly, I'd just like to try more of Bumble & Bumble products and this one sounds like it fits my needs and preferences when it comes to hair care.
Look Fantastic, 24.13 €.

11. L'OREAL PROFESSIONAL Mythic Oil Séve Protectrice

I never tried anything from the Mythic Oil range. For some unknown reason I just think that L'Oreal Professional brand is not as good as the rest more expensive hair brands, I'm sure I am wrong. But this intrigued me, even though it's basically just a silicone cream infused with that provides heat protection. I've read a couple of good reviews and obviously, now I want to try it. Actually, what I'm still hoping to find is better version of Phyto 9, so one that has silicones. 

All Beauty, 16.04 €

Have a great day!

Wishlist #12

1. CLINIQUE Cheek Pop Blush

These blushes grabbed my attention the moment I laid my eyes upon them. They look adorable with the beautiful floral relief and I hear it's not just their looks that is spectacular, the creamy-powder hybrid formula is highly praised as well. Peach Pop appeals to me most and perhaps even Berry Pop, though it looks super bright.
I really wanted to see them in person when I went to Müller a week ago, but it appears Slovenia is late to the party yet again. Boots international has them for £16.50 (about 20.6 €).

2. DIOR ADDICT Fluid Stick and MAYBELLINE Color Elixir Lip Color 

 I used to own loads of lip gloss, but I have since completely switched to lipsticks resulting in a very pathetic lip gloss collection for a beauty enthusiast. These new releases by Maybelline and Dior, which are just a couple of the new takes on very pigmented versions of lip gloss formula, caught my attention. I swatched a few Dior ones in Müller and I really liked them. I already ordered L'Oreal's version, so I can see if I can renew my interest in wearing lip gloss.
Maybelline on eBay for about 9 € with shipping, Dior 33.80€ on Feel Unique (I think it's cheaper in Müller), L'Oreal £8.99 on Boots.

3. MAYBELLINE New York Fit Me Concealer

People seem to really love this budget concealer and praise it highly. I heard that the creamy formula is nice for using both under the eyes as well as on individual spots. It's not sold in our drugstores (can't say I'm surprised) and the last time I was in Croatia they didn't have the shade 15, so I couldn't at least test the shade, but I think I'll order it online anyway.
7.79 € on Feel Unique, 7.10 € on Salma.

4. MAX FACTOR False Lash Effect Waterproof and BOURJOIS Volume 1 Seconde Mascara Waterproof

I really need to try more drugstore waterproof mascaras, though I'm not sure that I'll ever find a drugstore formula that is as amazing as Lancôme's, but I'll at least try to. I need something that will hold the curl all day and these two are on the top of my list to try out of the mascaras available here.
Both about 13-14 € in Müller/DM, Bourjois 12.49 € on HqHair.

5.FRUCTIS Miraculous Oil, GARNIER Ultimate Blends The Marvellous Argan oil and The Sleek Perfector Oil

I've taken an interest in drugstore silicones-oils and while most have "lame" ingredients, Garnier Fructis stands out for being, well, actually surprisingly good. There is Argan oil in it and not just in trace amounts, but placed third on the ingredients list. Isabelle from Nails & Cupcakes says it's the best budget oil for hair. From what I can tell by glancing the INCI list, these three have pretty much the same ingredients in the same order, though two of them claim to have heat protection (amazing what companies do nowadays - change the packaging, write some added bonus and offer a new version, but do nothing to the original formula, except maybe change the scent. Bravo!). Nonetheless, one of these will be mine, the first one I see in the shop.
About 10 € in Müller, £6.66 on Boots (offer).

6. OJON Revitalizing Mist

When someone raves about a hair product, I'm like: yeah, I'm gonna need some of that. Alix from I Covet Thee says that she loves this for taming frizzy hair and to give the hair a boost of moisture, so I really want to try it. Plus I hear it smells great as well.

€26.04 on Look Fantastic.

7. BALEA Duche & Creme Strawberry and Passion Fruit

I know, I know, who in their right mind thinks and plans which shower gel they'll get next. Well, I do. I see new releases by Balea on their Facebook page and as soon as I saw they are adding a passion fruit version to their selection of shower gels, I noted to myself that I need to try it. I haven't seen it in our DMs yet, but I hope it will reach them soon. Admittedly the formula of these is run of the mill, but my skin isn't particularly demanding and I already adore the Nectarine & Coconut version, so I'm looking forward to trying something new. Another version that caught my attention is the strawberry one, which I sneakily took a sniff of during my last time in DM and I loved it.
0.99€ in DM.

8. L'OCCITANE Shower Oil Jenipapo

I'm often expressed my undying devotion (exaggerating much?) to L'Occitane's Almond Shower oil that has been in my bathroom stash continuously since 2007 (I buy eco-refills). The formula of it is out of this world good and the scent is just one of the best things ever. L'Occitane launched a new version with the same formula, but a tropical scent. To be frank, they had me at mango. One tropical paradise shower goodness, please!
18.30 € in L'Occitane (damn the price's gone up!).

9. KÉRASTASE Elixir Ultime Creme Fine

I heard a few bloggers say that this is fantastic and given that it's from my favourite hair brand, I'm sure they are right. It's a moisturiser for hair that helps with dryness, adds shine and smooths flyaways. I just hope it's an improved version of Phyto 9 as I hear it supposedly doesn't leave any residue on the hair.
33.29 € on HqHair (150 ml), 33.90 on Salma.

10. KÉRASTASE Nutritive Irisome Touche Perfection

I recently gushed about how amazing Nutritive line is for my dry, rebellious hair and this is one of the new additions to the line. It's a finishing cream that is supposed to be used on dry hair any time the hair feels dry. However, the price is ridiculous for a mere 40 ml tube, so I think this will just stay on my wishlist unless I find oil in my back yard.
 33.29 € on HqHair, 27.40 € on Salma.

11. REAL TECHNIQUES Travel Essentials Kit

After buying the blush brush, I'm really craving more Real Techniques brushes in my collection. They are seriously good. Actually I'm not that interested in the foundation brush, but I'd love to have the other two - the multitask brush and domed shadow brush.
24.95 € on Moja Drogerija, 18$ on iHerb.

Have a great day!
