K's Weekly Wishlist #2

Dress | Mascara | Hair Color | BB Cream | Cleansing Cream | Necklace | Sandals

I have been thinking quite a long  time about my wishlist this week because I couldn't find enough this time, so Bianca and me decided that from now one we are going to make our Weekly Wishlists every two weeks instead of every week!

I have been fond of maxi dresses and already own five of them, but I still can't get enough. Especially because I have been searching for an affordable maxi dress like this one on boohoo for a long time! Unfortunately, and I am actually really sad about it, it has sold out in my size already! I really hope it will restock, although they barely restock anything on boohoo... Anyways, the sandals are from boohoo as well, and although I am not sure that studs are still fashionable, I love the idea of combining punky studs with an elegant pointed ballerina style. The necklace is on my wishlist, although it is more an idea for another statement jewelry than a concrete wish for it. I am still searching for a perfect one for me!

Now to the beauty part of the list. My perfect Maybelline Volum' Express Colossal Mascara in 100% black, which is a product I have been using for years and I can highly recommend to anyone, has been nearly used up and I think about switching to the Kiko Luxurious Lashes Mascara, which I have been eyeing for some time now. Considering the description, it should add a very similar effect to my lashes as my maybelline one did.

The La Riché Directions Hair Color will be for my ombré hair I dyed some days ago. I have had it that way last summer already, but this time I wanted to add some color in my hair ends, especially for the festival I am going to in 3 weeks. I am not sure about the color yet, but it will definitely be a shade of pink ro purple!

When I went to England at the beginning of June, I used up my dearly Essence Cleansing Cream and had to buy another product, from another brand... I am so bloody careful with my facial skin because it is very oily and I get pimples so incredibly easily, plus it is so sensitive at the same time and gets dry very quickly. I have a fatal combination. The product I bought is not working as expected and I will throw it away and buy my favorite cleansing cream again. Fortunately, it is really cheap.

So talking about my facial skin, I am very careful with any kind of foundation and powder as well. I have been trying some cheaper products, and I was disappointed nearly every single time. I am now aiming for a more expensive product, combining the effects that I need, and I have finally discovered one: The Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream. Reviews say, it is perfect for sensitive skin, oil-controlling, moisturizing and sun protecting. I will definitely buy it in September when I visit the United States!

What have you been wishing for?

What I bought

I went to Primark today with a friend. I planed not to spend a lot of money, but as usual I ended up buying clothes and accessories for nearly 50€. At the cash register, I realized that I have bought one entire outfit, which wasn't on purpose at all!

I have chosen an oversized blouse in khaki, black long leggings, a studded black belt, pyramid shaped earrings and black front closed sandals.

The vest is made out of a super light material which makes it perfect for summer. I am very impressed about the leggings because they are made out of viscose so they are super soft. The leggings I usually by are from H&M but they wear out quickly and are expensive compared to those from Primark.

The studs on the belt are really small and pyramid shaped. The only belts I have in my wardrobe are plain and actually quite boting, so I went for something simple but a bit more fancy.

I have always wanted pyramid shaped earrings in gold. I am very happy with them, they are not too oversized but still eye-catching. I have to add here that I barely ever wear earrings, I don't even know why. Maybe it's because I usually wear necklaces and I think necklaces and earrings together are a bit too much, but that's because I'm a minimalist.

And the best comes last: my new sandals. I have searched for some like these everywhere and unfortunately Austria is not known for how fashionable and up to date it is. These beauties are made out of real leather and they were the last in the entire shop. I was so happy to see that they are exactly my size and they also fit really well. This is my favorite buy of today.

Do you like shopping at Primark? Is there anything you have found lately that you have searched for for a very long time?

B's Weekly Wishlist #1

ASOS Tote Bag | Basics Palette  | Ebay Coat |  Brushes Set | Monki Top | Mac Lipstick -

 ASOS  Sandals | Shop Dixi Silver Ring | Shop Dixi Moon Ring | Coconut Hair Spray 

As I've mentioned before, I am a notorious shopping addict, and while I do absolutely love to shop in actual stores, I also can't ever resist online shopping.  Here a little overview of what I've been lusting over this week... Sigh, so beautiful!

I've been currently loving nude and neutral shimmery eye shadows - I think I seriously need to take the leap and invest into an Urban Decay Palette... It'll serve me well. With more neutral eye make-up I've recently been loving darker/purple-y lipstick, like this Mac Cosmetics one in the shade Hang-Up (I, like every other make-up lover, swear by mac lipsticks, they are hands down the most amazing, long lasting, easily applicable, moisturizing and pigmented lipsticks you can get.)

 Because of the heat I've had to cut down on foundation and concealer, so I'm eyeing the Real Techniques core brushes set to buff and blend my make-up nicely.

My current smell/flavor obsession is coconut (I recently raided The Body Shop when they had a sale - oops!), so this vegan thai coconut moisturizing spray to protect my hair from the heat and give an effortless, messy beach wave look is definitely on my "to-buy" list this week.

For clothing, I have been loving the minimal, clean-cut designs from the Swedish brand Monki - I just bought their white 3/4 sleeve sweater dress (grab it here on Asos before it sells out!) and I am absolutely head over heels in love with it. Effortless, casual and still sophisticated. This grey top is also begging me to buy it...
To match my minimalist clothing love I've got my eye on this pair of gorgeous sandals in white and brown leather. Pick a beautiful nail varnish in a pop-color (or some lovely nude shades) to complete the outfit. 

For cooler summer nights (I'm traveling to Helsinki in a few weeks, it might get a bit frisky up North!), I am really liking this white and black coat with faux leather sleeves, which nearly reminds me of a longer version/dupe of the Chanel jacket... Soooooo lovely.

I haven't been very much into jewelry lately, though I've been looking everywhere for big, beautiful, summery statement rings. These two from Shop Dixi are just perfect: chunky, silvery, with intricate detail, turquoise gemstone and a little moon - to match my recent tattoo acquisition.

Anything that pleases your eye too? I've inserted the links to all the shops in the description above!
