K's Weekly Wishlist #1



As opposed to Bianca, I am definitely an online shopper. Most of the time, I cannot bear standing in line in front of the fitting rooms or the cash register. You will easily find the items I wish for online in the future.
So these are the items I would love to have in my wardrobe this week. Let's start with the brushes: I have read on various blogs that they are totally fond of Real Technique Brushes and I have decided I will go with the hype. I am not a professional, I usually can't handle for example a 32 brushes set, so I am very happy they offer small sets as well. As they are quite expensive, it may take some time until I will talk myself into actually buying them.
Since it is summer and temperatures rise high here in Vienna, I don't blow-dry my hair. I generally have quite straight hair but sometimes some curls sneak their way into my hairstyle and I have had enough of straightening them out. The Remington Pro Big Curl Iron will hopefully lead me to what I am expecting: big hollywood-like curls.
It feels like I have searched half of my life for the perfect purse. I wanted one I can zip around, with more than two main compartments, without any pattern or brand logo and in a decent color. This hunt was way harder than expected, but I have finally found one. I will not purchase it in the color shown in the picture though, I will go for the mint or light pink one, I will let you know when I made my decision!
Ankle boots, ankle boots, ankle boots. I love them. I have worn these type of boots for so many years now and what a surprise they show up in my wishlist. Being a small girl, I need heels to look in people's faces, and wedges are the most comfortable to walk in. These black wedge ankle boots are essentials in a wardrobe and I feel ashamed for not having some yet! The biker boots are more punk-y and would fit very well with my khaki parka. I really need new shoes for autumn/winter!
And last but not least: the Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadow palette. I have had wild beauty dreams about it. Unfortunately, it is not affordable especially here in Austria. But I am lucky to be visiting the United States in September! I am currently using the Nude Eyeshadow Palette from Catrice which served me well, but it will be used up very soon...

B's Weekly Wishlist #1




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!
