Spring Beauty Wishlist

I know I'm a little late posting now my Spring wishlist, but I had to do it because I developed a few lemmings the past month and I wanted to share them with you. They're only a few and some of them are more of summer rather than spring lemmings but that's OK!

1.  Korres Spring Lilac nail polish from their new SS13 limited edition collection. I already got the Pink Flamingo which is an almost neon coral pink and now I really want the Spring Lilac too, it's a soft cool tone lilac shade perfect for the spring.

2. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine in Corail Intuitive. YSL released new shades of Volupte Shines for the spring and Corail Intuitive is the one that I want the most, I haven't seen it in person yet but it looks so peachy and pretty!

3. Clinique Oversized Orange Chubby Stick. I never felt the need before to get a Chubby Stick from Clinique, because I read reviews saying that they're too sheer, but while I was at the Clinique counter swatching all the shades I thought that this one is worth having. Is not orange at all, it's a pure peach shade, also very glossy, perfect for summer!

4. Essie Come Here! and Under Where nail polishes. I pretty much love every single color from the new Essie Resort 2013 collection, but I can't have them all, so I chose these two because they are the shades that I love wearing the most on my nails at spring and summertime!

5. Escada Cherry In The Air Fragrance. Every year Escada's summer limited edition fragrances are by far my favorites, they are fruity and fun, perfect for summer. I smelled the Cherry In The Air quite a few times when I was at Sephora, and I love it, can't wait to get it!

6. Dior Addict lipstick in Delice. Dior launched a few gorgeous shades of Dior Addict lipsticks and lipglosses for the spring, I swatched all of them at the counter but Delice was the one that I liked the most! It's a gorgeous coral peachy shade with a glossy finish! I know I have lots of peachy lipsticks in my wishlist but this one is propably the one that I want the most because of the formula, Dior Addict lipsticks have an amazing glossy texture!

7. Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener. I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with trying new concealers lately. This one is actually a corrector, and I used to like the regular Bobbi Brown Light Peach corrector but I didn't like the texture at all,  it creased a lot. I'm glad that they released correctors with liquid texture, liquid concealers work much better with my skintype.

8. Korres Yoghurt Extreme Fluid SPF30 Sunscreen. I love Korres face sunscreens, one of the few that didn't break me out, and this year they released it with a fluid formula, which is very good for oily skintypes like mine. I can't wait to try it!
 

Let me know what's in your beauty wihslist for this spring!

Christmas Beauty Wishlist!

 

I was in a very festive mood this past weekend, so I decided to make my Christmas beauty wishlist and write a post about it. I know Christmas is one month away, but I couldn't help myself, I had to do it!

1. Lush Holiday Collection. For the past 4 years I always end up buying some of their gorgeous smelling stuff. Since we don't have Lush in Greece, I place an order from their UK site. My number one essential is the Snowcake soap, smells like an almond heaven, the same smell has the Snowman Melting Bath Melt which I love!

2. Yep, a Tangle Teezer! I don't know why it's in my Christmas wishlist and why I've never bought it before but for sure I'm going to get it now. I really like the purple one with the silver glitter!

3. Inglot eyeshadows. I've been lemming Inglot eyeshadows for over 6 months, but I'm gonna treat myself with some of them this Christmas. I keep hearing how pigmented they are, I'll propably get a 5 pan palette with my favorite kind of eyeshadow shades, neutrals!

4. China Glaze Joy Holiday Collection. I'm such a polish addict, and I love Holiday collections. I've already bought some from the OPI Skyfall collection, and I also wanna get some from China Glaze too. The whole collection looks amazing with all these gorgeous reds and golds, Merry Berry, Cranberry Splash and Champagne Kisses are the ones I want the most.

5. Sephora Prisma Chrome Outrageous Metallic Taupe Eyeshadow. I saw these new metallic eyeshadows at the french Sephora site, and I fell in love with the taupe one, and I'm not even a taupe eyeshadow lover! It looks so pretty and metallic, I bet it will look amazing on the lids on its own with just black liner and mascara.

6. bareMinerals READY eyeshadow duo. Yes I know, too many eyeshadows in my wishlist but I checked these duos at a Sephora store a few weeks ago, and I loved them. They are so soft and pigmented, and the neutral shades they have are amazing. A little on the expensive side but I hope I'll find a good deal at Sephora till Christmas time.

7.  Vera Wang Lovestruck perfume. I like buying a perfume every Christmas, last year was Givenchy's Dahlia Noir, this year I hope it will be Vera Wang's Lovestruck. It smells amazing, not heavy at all, perfect for everyday. I believe that Vera Wang's perfumes are amazing, I already love the Princess.

8. Real Techniques Make Up Brushes. I've never try them before and I've being lemming them for months. The ones I want the most are the Blush Brush and the Core collection.

9. bareMinerals Buxom Time To Shine mini Lip Collection. This lipgloss set is the one I'm lemming the most from my Christmas wishlist. When I saw it at Beautybay's site I was like "I have to get it now!". I read really good reviews about Buxom lipglosses and I think that this set is just perfect for me to try them out, it contains shades that I use the most.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get them all, but a girl can dream!

What's on your Christmas beauty wishlist?

Summer Wishlist

I think it was about time to make my beauty summer wishlist! It was fun making it because I love summer, and the summer shades in general such as peaches, corals and bronze. Every year I have so many lemmings with all these make up limited edition collections!

So here's my list for summer:

1. A fresh summer fragrance is always a must have, and every year I'm lemming a different one. Last year it was  Escada, but this year I may go for one of the new Body Shop's limited edition fragrances. I love Body Shop's fragrances, Vanilla is my top favorite. This year they are launching the summer versions of three of their popular fragrances , Love etc... Sun Kiss, Dreams Unlimited Sun Fresh and White Musk Sun Glow.

2. A new mascara from Mac, Extended Play Lash , that is going to be released this summer. It claims to be 16 hour smudge-free , plus it's glossy black and volumizing. Definetely a must try.

3. Summer here is super hot, so I need an oil free foundation that will also be lightweight and have a good medium coverage and until now I haven't found one. When I saw that Clinique will release the Stay Matte Oil Free Make-Up, I knew it was going to be in my wishlist for summer. Can't wait to try it!

4. Mac's summer collection will be called Hey Sailor, with a limited edition packaging as they always do every year. I'm not lemming much from the collection but a peachy blush is a weakness of mine, it's called Launch Away!

5. Also from Mac's Hey Sailor collection, Jaunty eyeshadow, a light yellow beige. I'm sure it will look amazing all over the lids with some brown eye pencil and mascara.

6. Neon nail polishes!!! Awww how I love neons on my nails at summertime, and China Glaze is going to release a brand new collection with them. Last year I got Flip Flop Fantasy and I have to say that it's the best neon shade I've ever tried. From this year's collection I'm lemming Beach Cruiser (purple), Pink Plumeria (pink) and Flirty Tankini (peachy coral).

7. Even though I already have 2 bronzer brushes, I've always wanted a brush with the exact same rounded shape that Mac 167SH has. This brush is going to be relased with Mac's Hey Sailor collection this summer.

8. Bronzers bronzers bronzers! I can never have to many bronzers, I just love them all year round.  For a few years I'm lemming this Dior Matte Sunshine bronzer and this year I'm gonna to get it for sure!

9. Dior Vernis in Bikini. A very pretty, true peach cream nail polish from Dior's Croisette collection for this summer. I've never tried any Dior nail polishes, but I really wanna start with this one.

10. I love soft pink glosses for summer days and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Pink Croisette 464 looks exactly like the one I'm looking for.

11. Lastly from the same Croisette collection, the Dior Addict lipstick in Palace 354. In my opinion the Dior Addict lipsticks are one of the best high end lipsticks, along with YSL. I love their balm texture, you don't need lipgloss with those. The Palace 354 looks like a soft warm pink, perfect when you have a tan!

What are your lemmings for this summer?

And just a song from Late Night Alumni to put you in a summer mood!! It always reminds me of summer!
