K's Weekly Wishlist #4 US Edition!

Glitter Nail Polish | Glow-in-the-Dark Nail Polish | Brushes | Coat | Essie Nail Polish | BB Cream | Boots | Hair Dye | Perfume | Purple and Glitter Nail Polish | Make-Up Box | Confetti Nail Polish | Mascara | Pouch

The time has come. Tomorrow I will leave for New York City and it will be the start of the roadtrip from New York to Los Angeles with my father! I am so excited and also so afraid that I will forget anything, you know that feeling right? My suitcase is packed. It is not even half full but I am sure it will come back home totally crammed.
In my wishlist you can find items I have wished for for quite a long time actually and that I am sure I will find in the United States.
I have always been a fan of glitter nail polishes and obviously they had to be in the photo set. Lately I am into the confetti ranges and into those, in which the polish is another color than the glitter. I will also replace my old A List Essie nail polish with a new one; it is like the best shade of red I have ever found. Since special nail polishes have always been my taste, I will also try the glow in the dark type. So excited!
Cut-out boots are the latest trend I really don't want to miss it. I am looking for flat ones and I really hope to find some.
Beauty products should not be missing on the wishlist since there is a much wider and more different range in the United States than it is here in Austria. I will totally take advantage of that, and honestly: who wouldn't. I will go for Benefit and Smashbox Camera Ready products, as well as Daisy by Marc Jacobs.
I have talked about the Real Techniques Brushes set before and this time it will not only be on my wishlist, it will be in my make up bag! I have also mentioned dying my ombré-ed hair pink and Urban Outfitters has a really good product to do so, at least that's what the reviews say.
I have not talked about the make up pouch yet, it only stands for the infinite number of products I want to buy from Forever 21.
And last but definitely not least: the coat. Bianca has purchased it already but I fancied it for quite some time already and after trying it on in stores I want it really badly. Her and me will run around like twins in autumn/winter then, so what.

What has been on your wishlist lately?

K's "currently vibing"

Hello Sweeties!

Bianca already made a 'currently vibing' post some time ago and asked me to do the same but at that time I was quite stressed with life and I couldn't think of much I am obsessed with. Now I have finally sat down and thought about what I am thinking and hyping about most lately.

Corgi Breed

Yes, this has nothing to do on a fashion/beauty blog but I really don't care because I am so crazy about these dogs! My close ones know that I am actually obsessed with dachshunds, but corgis have conquered a big part of my heart already. FYI: I have grown up with dogs, precisely with dachshunds and a jack russel terrier, and I have learnt a lot about this species. I have a huge heart for animals and especially dogs, so you will see me getting one quite soon. I think about adopting a puppy next year, but I am not sure yet since I have absolutely no idea of how my life will look like one year from now, and there is no way I will be a doxie mommy when the situation isn't right for the dog!

Canvas Tote Bags

I may be late to the trend although it is still going on. The tote bags that appeal to me have to be cheap canvas with a nice, funny text line. I am not that into drawings, pattern or anything else only those shown in the picture.

Pink Ombré Hair

I have recently ombré-ed (I don't think this is a word but nevermind) my hair again. Now they are the usual middle-brown-to-bright-blonde color and I think it's beautiful but sometimes I look at it in the mirror and find it a bit boring. I have always imagined getting my hair dyed in a poppy, more unusual color than brown, black, dark red or blonde (I haven't had the last one yet because I think it would look ridiculous with my olive-toned skin). Back when I was 15 or 16, when I went through my so called 'emo' phase, and yes I was a victim as well, I dreamt about having light to bright pink hair but my mother said no, not in the simple way though but 'no are you insane you're gonna ruin your hair people will think you're a chav this is ugly and disgusting', so now that I am an adult I will make my youth-wishes come true soon and get my hair pink ombré-ed!

Rose Tattoos

Lame, boring, ordinary or however you may call this kind of tattoo I will call it beautiful, classic, timeless and I cannot get enough! I am so in love with it that I will get one of these done hopefully at Smith Street Tattoo when I will be in New York in about a week.

Left Boy

This is an artist I'm like 99,9% sure you have never heard about and if you did, congratulations because this is really good music, with trashy explicit lyrics though. Short introduction: Left Boy is an Austrian rapper, singer and producer from Vienna, currently based in Brooklyn where he also goes to University. His sounds are mostly rap/hiphop/electronic. He started with his music in 2010, often uses samples of famous songs in his pieces (like Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen or Girlfriend by Justin Bieber) and has performed at many festivals ever since. I have been to one of them and that's when I encountered his work; not for the first time, I have heard of him before, but I considered his music to be something entirely different which I really would never ever listen to. I was wrong and I can only hardly recommend him to anybody!

B's ''What's in my Make-up Bag''

Hi everyone!

I am leaving for Finland early on tuesday morning, and because I need a little time off, won't be taking my macbook with me. Tomorrow is my boyfriend's little brother's birthday, and because we're really good friends, I have spent the last two days shopping for presents and making a huuuuuge pass-the-parcel! I also bought a gorgeous pair of black and white tribal print hareem trousers with cuffed ankles which are so great for relaxing and perfect for the last days of hot weather because of the light and floaty material. Since I'm leaving on tuesday, I thought I would try to squeeze in one or two more posts before being MIA for a week, so I decided to do a little "what's in my make-up bag" post. Relevant, since that will be the bare necessities I will take with me to Finland because I want to travel super light.

Here are my bare essentials:
Short blusher brush: I use this for contouring, to apply bronzer, to buff foundation in case I need to reapply during the day an to blend my blush or apply highlighter to my cheekbones.

Benefit "Sugarbomb" Lipgloss: I usually really dislike lipglosses, as I nearly always find them incredibly sticky, get my hair caught in it, and find it drying on my lips. This one, however, blows my mind. It has a subtle sparkle and the color is very "your lips but better" kind of dark-pink nude. Lovely to just throw on and go, and it definitely adds a little glamorous sheen to your lips. Plus it smells de-li-cious.

MAC "Creme In Your Coffee": my favorite lipstick by MAC. I have naturally very light lips, so this is an essential for me to look alive haha! It's a dark red/pink-ish nude and because it is a cremesheen, it's incredibly moisturizing. This has been in my make-up bag non-stop, so I need to re-buy this soon.

MAC "Creme Cup": This is a recent acquisition of mine, and since it's a cremesheen as well, it's super moisturizing too. The color is more a light-pink kind of nude, very girly and gorgeous in summer. 

Maybelline Great Lash Separating Mascara: I use this in combination with another mascara for length and volume, because I'm typically not too fond of plastic wands. This however is pretty great because it separates my lashes like nothing else I've ever tried, and with a topcoat my lashes look great!

Maybelline Fit Me Powder: I love this powder. It adapts to your skintone, gives a nice matte finish and stays in place all day long. Definitely recommend (and as you can see, I need to buy it again really soon.)

Chanel Pencil Sharpener: self explanatory. I use this for my brow pencil, my kohl, and my white eye-liner which I use in my waterline for a bigger-eye effect.

Chanel "Allure" Eau de Toilette Sample: I like to always  have a small sample of one of my favorite perfumes in my make-up bag, so I can retouch during the day without having to carry the full size in my handbag. This one is sweet and summery and absolutely lovely.

Benefit "High Beam" Highlighter: again, I like to carry smaller or sample sizes of my favorite products to make my make-up bag lighter. This is one of my absolute favorite ever products. It's creamy and gives the most gorgeous dewy look. I use it on the back of my nose, my brow bones and my cheeks.

Maybelline LumiTouch Highlighting Concealer: did I mention I am pretty fond of Maybelline products? This is great because it conceals my dark circles under my eyes as well as uneven pigment spots really well, and gives a nice "awake" effect in photographs. Staple piece in my make-up bag.

Maybelline Matte Mousse Foundation in "Ivory": I have been loving this product, because I can use it without any primer (it glides on really well), I don't even need to use a brush because it's very easy to apply evenly, and I don't need to use any setting powder as it has a great matte finish. All in one!

MAC Blusher brush: I use this for contour powder, blush and highlighting powder.

MAC "Expensive Pink" Eyeshadow: Lovely when you want a light but slightly sparkly eye to wear with a more dominant (for ex. purple or red) lipstick for a gorgeous evening look.

MAC "Brulé" Eyeshadow: my favorite MAC eyeshadow. Gorgeous slightly matte, slightly satin-y finish, light creamy/nude-y color. Great for a neutral-nude eye and a more bold lip.

MAC "Bronze" Eyeshadow: bronze-y brown eyeshadow, which is great for a brown smokey eye or to use in the crease for every day wear.

Hema Eyebrow Gel in Brown: this is just a supermarket product, but it's actually a great brow gel, with a slight tint. It's super easy to use and you can just pop it on and go without too much of a fuss.
