1) Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette: There we go again, at Urban Decay they decided to come out with yet another Naked palette and of course the whole blogging and youtube world went absolutely mental. I am a proud owner of their original Naked palette, but I haven't been convinced by the second one or the Naked Basics. I feel like the shades in the Naked 2 are too cool-toned for my yellow complexion, and the ones in the Naked Basics are just nothing special. The Naked 3 one, however, has definitely caught my attention. At a first glance, I felt like it has way too much pink in it, but after seeing swatches online, I'm starting to like it more and more. Having said that, there were a few mentions that the lightest shades are a bit disappointing as far as the quality goes, so I'm not gonna order the palette just yet. I think I'll wait until I go to London, take a look at it in person and then decide whether or not it is worth the money.
2) Marc Jacobs Beauty The Lolita Palette: Another eyeshadow palette that sparked my interest is The Lolita by Marc Jacobs. Again, I'm not positive if this product will ever make its way into my make-up collection (I mean, I REALLY don't need any more neutral shades), but how gorgeous is it?! It carries the perfect mix of wearable neutrals, it looks very sleek and is also very compact, which makes it perfect for travelling.
3) Essie Leading Lady Nail Polish: I've been in a total Christmas mood for the past week and I cannot stop thinking about red. And glitters. Leading Lady from Essie has been on my wishlist since last year, and if this nail polish doesn't scream Christmas, they I don't know which one does.
4) Shu Uemura Heart & Flower S Curler: This is not the product that I desperately want for myself, but I think it would be perfect for my make-up artist kit. The thing is, you can't curl everyone's lashes with the curlers you normaly see around. Some people's eyes are just too small or too round or too something else and there is no way you can curl the lashes perfectly if you can't fit them all in that metal thingy. This is why I've been looking for a mini eyelash curler without the metal closure and well, I think I found it! I feel like with this one, I could get really close to the lash line and be able to curl every single section.
5) Kulan Cushion: When I saw this cushion, I literally freaked out. Why? Well, I've been wanting and looking for a sweater-like cushion for ages! I haven't spotted it once in my country, so I was determined to hunt it down last year when I went shopping to Austria, but I couldn't find anywhere either. You can only imagine how excited I was when I spotted it online on Urbanara a few days ago! I might just have to get this one. Oh, and I still really want the silver sequined cushion covers as well! This is another thing I was unable to hunt down last year.
6) Too Faced Joy to the Girls Set: Khm, yes, I know this is the third palette that's making an appearance on today's wishlist. But what can I do? Cosmetic companies definitely know what make-up addicts love getting for Christmas. This little baby carries quite a few lovely shades as well! You have your matte neutrals, your shimmery netrals and an odd baby blue colour. I'm not sure how it made its way into this palette, but I guess it makes it look a little bit more exciting. Not to mention that you're also getting their LashGASM Mascara in the set... Not bad, huh?

1) NARS One Night Stand Cheek Palette: The moment I saw this palette, I knew that I have to have it. I've been dying to try out some NARS products for ages, especially their famous Laguna bronzer and the blush in Orgasm, but I was always put off by the hefty price tags. A single blush usually costs around $30, but this whole palette costs only $45 and you get six different shades, including Laguna, Orgasm, and another one of their best sellers - Deep Throat. If you already own a couple of their popular blushes, this palette might not sound like the most exciting purchase to you, but if you're a NARS virgin like me, it might be something that you desperately want to get your hands on. Just to warn you, this is one of their limited edition palettes from the Guy Bourdin holiday collection , so you'll have to be quick! I ordered mine from Space.NK., and is already on its way to my house thanks to Marvelle's help, as the direct delivery of the palette to Slovenia wasn't possible. Unfortunatelly, I think it is now already sold out on Space.NK., but if you live in the US, you can still get it here from Sephora.
2) Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms: Revlon recently came out with Colorburst Matte Balms and even though I wasn't too big of a fan of their Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stains (review here), mainly because of their minty scent and waxy formula, I would really like to try the matte versions. I've read that their formula is a lot better and I'm currently obsessed with matte finishes, so I can't wait for these to hit our shelves. Or the UK ones, because I can get them when I'll be visiting London in January.
3) Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate: This is one of those luxury skin products every famous blogger under the sun has raved about. You're supposed to put it on before you go to bed, and then your skin should repair, regenerate and replenish itself during the night. The pure essential oils in this product are apparently great for dry skin and super soothing, so it should be a perfect little bottle to have on your night stand during the cold winter months. Now, I'm not quite ready to spend $46 on this just yet, but I'll definitely keep it in the back of my mind. In the mean time, I'm considering trying out either argan oil or coconut oil for my skin. Which one would you recommend?
4) Nuxe Reve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm: This product is another one of those winter saviours everyone should try out at some point. From what I've heard, it's AMAZING for dry, chapped lips. I've had it on my wishlist for ages, but since I had a very nourishing honey lip balm from Avon in my posession until very recently, I didn't feel like I really need to run to the store and pick this one up ASAP. Now that I ran out of my Avon lip balm, though, this one from Nuxe will be my next purchase.
5) Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub: Another lip product I need to get my hands on is a lip scrub. I sometimes make my own one (video tutorial here), but I'm not gonna lie, I really prefer the Lush ones. I've been repurchasing Mint Julips for a few years, but after seeing tons of amazing reviews of Popcorn popping up recently, I think I'll give this one a go next time I manage to visit Lush.
6) MUA Velvet Lip Lacquers: I saw a review of these a few weeks ago, and my jaw dropped when I saw the swatches. I am not kidding you. The finish of these is divine! Unfortunatelly, all the shades are currently sold out, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will bring them back! Oh, and have I mentioned that they only cost three pounds!? Yes, three!
7) Em Cosmetics Contour & Highlighter Stick: Michelle Phan, the famous youtube beauty guru, recently came out with her very own makeup line, and one of the products that caught my attention is this interesting looking contour and highlighter stick. I love the concept and it seems like the product would be very easy to work with, so I would love to try it out one day.
8) Santhilea Magnetic Lash Mascara: I remember Estee blogging about this mascara (here) and her eyelashes looked amazing! This is definitely not your usual everyday mascara, because it gives a very bold, false eyeslashes kind of effect, which is why I think it would be nice to have one in my collection for special occasions. I love big lashes, but I don't think I will ever be brave enough to go out with fake ones on, so this mascara would be an awesome solution. Long voluminous lashes minus the fake lash irritation and the fear of ungluing? Yes please!

1) Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector: This is the lip gloss everyone seems to love, but of course I still haven't tried it myself. I'm very picky when it comes to lipglosses and to be honest, I just don't want to spend $22 on a lipgloss I might not even like in the end. The shades look really pretty and natural, though, so I think I would get a good use out of it if I liked the texture as well. What do you guys who have tried it think about it? And which shade is your favourite? The one that caught my attention is 05 Candy Shimmer.
2) Nars Creamy Concealer: I've been pretty content with my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for the past year or so, but if you need as much of it as I do to cover your dark under eye circles, it can get a bit dry, creasy and cakey. That's why I really want to give this Nars Creamy Concealer a go. I've heard it's just as amazing with covering imperfections as the Collection one is, but more hydrating and just better overall.
3) Essence Longlasting Lipstick: Essence just came out with a new assortment for fall, and even though I've been avoiding drugstores since I came home from the States (blame my very needed spending ban), I still managed to spot an item I would love to have in my collection. I blame it on Sara, who blogged about their new longlasting lipstick in shade 07 Natural Beauty (here). It looks so pretty!
4) Hydraluron: Another currently raved about product. The moment Caroline Hirons mentioned it on her blog (here), all the British beauty addicts seemed to go crazy about it. After all the praises I've heard, I'm considering trying it out myself.
5) ghd Eclipse Straightener: A very unfortunate thing happened to me the moment I arrived on the other side of the pond. Yup, you guessed it. My straightener broke! I'm pretty sure that happened because my suitcase had been tossed around way too much on the way there. Now, I'm not one of those girls that cannot live without a straightener. I actually try to disregard my sometimes-weird waves and straighten my hair only a few times a month, but when I want my hair to look a bit nicer, a good straightener is essential. I have quite thick hair and some waves of mine are incredibly hard to tame, so I'm guessing one of those cheap ones won't do. A lot of people seem to love the ghd straighteners, so I'm thinking about buying one for myself. The latest, Eclipse version is ridiculously expensive, though. Which ones do you use? Do you have any other recommendations for me?
6) Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre: I'm STILL trying to combat the dry flakes on my skin and the latest moisturizing lotion on my to-try wishlist is this one. Apparently a lot of make-up artists swear on this particular product that can be used as a primer, a moisturizer and a make-up remover. Sounds interesting, huh?
7) Essie Nourish Me Base Coat: Just like the British beauty bloggers are currenly all over Hydraluron, the Slovenian bloggers are raving about Essie's Nourish Me base coat. They pretty much proclaimed it a miracle product, so I'm dying to try it out! I'm sick and tired of my nails peeling and breaking all the time. The only problem I have is that I can't find this baby ANYWHERE! Not in the drugstores, not online. Well, at least not on the sites that deliver to my country... -_-
2) Nars Creamy Concealer: I've been pretty content with my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for the past year or so, but if you need as much of it as I do to cover your dark under eye circles, it can get a bit dry, creasy and cakey.

My Current Wishlist

1) Crest 3D White Whitestrips Professional Effects: I've been hearing about the Crest whitestrips for ages and have always wanted to try them out, but I never knew which ones to get. I remember people saying that some of them are really harsh and make your teeth hurt, and since these whitestrips are not the cheapest, I really didn't want to risk buying the wrong ones. Last week, though, there were two girls on youtube praising the Professional Effects ones, so I'll take this as a sign and order some!
2) Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation: I just ran out of my foundation, so I need to get a new one as soon as possible. A lot of bloggers and youtubers have been talking about the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation recently and they all seem to agree that it is amazing and great for dry skin. I'm seriously thinking about buying it. The only problem is that I don't know which shade to get, as I can only get it online. Do any of you maybe own the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation as well as the Bourjois Healthy Mix one in Vanilla or Light Vanilla? The shade comparison would really help me out...
3) TonCase Phone Case: I've started thinking about changing up my phone case as soon as the winter was over, because my current one doesn't look particulary summery. It's cute and everything, but I'm looking forward to putting it aside until next winter. Now, I am one of those people who don't own an iPhone, so you can imagine how hard it is for me to find a pretty phone case. It's mission impossible, I'm telling you! The ones that I've found on ebay are either very similar to my current one or just plain boring. However, I did remember to check Etsy after months of browsing through ebay, and guess what? They have SO many cute ones on there! And not just for iPhones, woohoo! The one that you can see in the photo is a personal favourite of mine. It's just so me!
4) Persun Geometric Matching Shoulder Bag: Maaan, why couldn't I see that bag before buying this one to have it as my LA carry-on bag?! The one that I got looks like a beach bag and I'm really not loving it. This one, however, seems very chic and it is also big enough. I don't want to spend $50 on it now that I already have a bag, but it's so much prettier! What should I do?
5) Diorskin Nude BB Creme: I am desperate to try this one out! I promised to myself that I won't be spending a lot of money on foundations, because there are some great drugstore ones out there, but when it comes to BB creams, the story is completely different. I just can't find a cheaper one that would work for me. I'm not saying that I am sure this Dior one would be perfect for me, but since a lot of people with similar dry-to-combination skin type have been loving it, I would love to give it a try myself. I now just have to figure out if there's any way for me to get a tester or something at one of our drugstores. There's no way I'm buying such an expensive BB cream without making sure that it really does work for me first.
6) Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum: I've been using the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (review here) for a really long time now, but I've recently heard that the serum version is even better for dry skin. I'll definitely be getting it before or after I try out the Wake Me Up Foundation. Has anyone maybe tried both? Which one do you prefer?

Current Random Love: Tumblr
Sandra
I know I'm kind of late jumping on this bandwagon, but I finally caved in and decided to join tumblr. I didn't see the point in setting up an account before because it's kind of similar to having your own blog - which I obviously already have - but because my computer can't hold thousands of inspirational photos anymore, I decided to start keeping and sharing them online. You can find my tumblr here. It's turning into a quite cute and inspiring page if you ask me. :)
P.S. Please share your tumblr pages with me so I can go follow you!
