Lately I have been experimenting more with my makeup again and have also watched more tutorials on Instagram or generally how other girls apply makeup, so of course my wish list got longer as well.
I have been using some products on my wish for a while and they really have become favorites, which I will certainly buy again and again, others looked so great on other girls that I absolutely need them now and again others are absolute new products, where I just already know that they will be amazing haha.
My Favorites
IT Cosmetics CC Cream
I've already tried several different foundations, but IT Cosmetic's CC Cream really beats them all. Although it is high coverage, it doesn't look cakey on the skin, rather the opposite - the skin looks more even and simply more beautiful. Redness, pores and blemishes are easily concealed without irritating the skin as this CC Cream contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, B, C and E among others. In addition, it has a SPF of 50+, so perfect for all year round!
I think there are 3 different versions of this CC Cream already. So far I've tried the original and the illumination one - I think the illumination is a bit too glowy for me, because when wearing it, I get the urge to apply more powder haha. The original is a perfect mix of Glow and Matt and therefore brings a very natural skin appearance.
Dior Diorshow Mascara
I had already talked about this mascara in a previous post, but again for everyone - it's absolutely awesome!
The Formula is enriched with microfibres and so gives your lashes extra length but at the same time also a lovely amount of volume. In my opinion it kinda looks like fake lashes when I have this mascara on. Another plus is the "Air-Lock" Brush, with this brush the mascara dries out more slowly than any other mascaras as there´s no way any air can get into the tube. Apparently this mascara is also used for the Dior Fashion Shows and if that doesn´t make you want to try it, I don´t know what will, haha.
Shiseido Controlled Chaos Mascara
Another great Mascara is the Controlled Chaos Mascara from Shiseido. I use it ever since my sample of the Dior Mascara is empty and it´s so hard to decide between these two! This one gives less volume, but makes my eyelashes so long, but without making them look like spider lashes. In addition, I don't even need an eyelash curler to get a nice curl, the mascara does that all by itself.
The Formula is a lot wetter, but if it's a bit dry, you can work with it very well.

Pixi Glow Tonic
An absolute classic! If you haven't tried Pixi's Glow Tonic yet, you should do so as soon as possible! At the beginning I couldn't imagine what would be different about it than about other tonics, but my skin has changed so positively since I use this product. The skin was on the one hand not so oily anymore, but had a healthy shine and on the other hand I hardly got any blemishes! It is so rare that I get pimples now. I always think I got most of my makeup off after using my beloved micellar water, but when I apply this tonic afterwards, so much more dirt and makeup gets of my skin, and so I can feel a huge difference immediately.
So I'm absolutely thrilled and can't say more about it than that everyone has to try it out!

BECCA Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder
Well, actually, loose powders aren't mine at all. I always find they feel really heavy and weird on the skin and clog my pores more than covering them - not to start with the white backflash that some loose powders give when pictures are taken with lightning - ugh!
But this loose powder from Becca consists of 50% water and glycerine, which gives the skin a kind of blur effect and therefore definitely sounds great. Because of the water mixture, the powder gives moisturize to the skin, so it doesn't crumble like some other powders. The color selection is now rather semi, but I think you should be able to work with it just fine to set your concealer properly.
Origins GinZing Tinted Moisturizer
I love Tinted Moisturizer! They always give a really beautiful natural shine and let the skin look more even. In summer, when I use makeup, I prefer them, because they are a lot better for the skin than normal makeup in the heat. With this one I'm even more sure it's a bomb, as the GinZing series is generally great. I used the Moisturizer myself once and was very happy with it.
The product matches itself to the skin tone and also protects the skin with a SPF 40.

Fenty Beauty
Meanwhile everyone says how lovely Fenty Beauty products are, but there are still a few people who have never tried anything - here I am!
To be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed with the selection, but a few products have already stood out for me due to many recommendations. On the one hand the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Girl Next Door / Chich Phreak - an absolute beautiful peach-coloured highlighter. I can imagine that it gives a wonderful touch of colour and freshness especially on light skin. I would also like to have the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fenty Glow. This is an incredibly beautiful nude colored gloss that makes the lips look fuller and that can never hurt haha.
Last but not least I would like to have the Photoshop in the tube - the Pro Filt´r Longwear Foundation + the Pro Filt´r Primer. I saw this duo on a girl on Instagram once and it looked like Photoshop! Since she also posted InstaStories with this foundation, it really can only be the foundation that gave this incredible finish. I really need them!
Soon-to-be Favorites
Ardell Individual 3D-Lashes
I prefer individual lashes to classic fake eyelashes. For me they are easier to apply and I can always decide for myself how many I want where, or where I want to put the accents. So far I only have very natural lashes from KISS, but recently 3D Individual Lashes from Ardell came out and my heart was beating faster! When I still had my eyelash extension, I always had 3D lashes, so with those from Ardell I could theoretically get exactly the same look again, so I'm really looking forward to trying them out soon.
Coach Blush Parfüm
Since I discovered Coach's perfumes, I don't use any others. The two previous versions, Classic and Floral, smell so pleasant and hold so well without being too heavy in the nose. So when I saw at a beauty fair that another new version was released, I was very happy! Of course I tried it right away and it is my favourite fragrance of all three versions. It doesn't smell as flowery as the floral, but still very feminine and fresh. The ingredients here are grapefruit, goji berry, peach and peony, among others, so it doesn't get any better than that.
As soon as my current perfume is empty, I´ll buy it.

When there´s one thing I like to spend a lot of money on, then it´s definitely a good foundation.
Basically because I find the key to a good looking full face makeup is the base, you can be a pro at eyemakeup but if you´re foundation is not staying in place, gets oily and shiny, etc. you´ll never get the full effect.
As the state of my skin often changes between oily, dry and combination skin, and also the colour changes from pale as a ghost to a hint of tan - hard to believe, but my skin is actually capable of that - I have built a little collection of different foundations.
Some are drugstore, some are high end, most of them have a different finish and so you can imagine that I´m totally up to trying new formulars and new types of foundations.
I would say I´m quite happy with the foundations I own, but well, most of them are nearly all used up so I´m already thinking which foundations I want to try next and so I happen to put together a little - ok, I might have gone a little crazy - list with foundations I´m lusting over...
The Drugstore Ones
The High End Ones
The Luxurious Ones
Last Thursday Sephora has opened its first shop in Germany, and I couldn´t be happier that they decided to do so in Munich!
It´s weird to think than not a very long time ago we barely had any bigger american brands available, and now we got the full selection of amazing brands such as Too Faced, Kat von D, MUFE, etc. So far I didn´t have a chance to pop in the store but next Saturday it´s time for me to explore the beauty of Sephora. Of course I´ve put together a "small" wishlist that I´ll slowly work through without doing much damage to my bank balance (hopefully).
I absolutely love foundations, primers, concealer, powder, etc. basically everything base products. If your base is not made perfect, you won´t really be happy with how the rest of your makeup looks and so I like to experiment around with different finishes, textures, and effects.
For primers I have chosen the Becca Backlight Primer after getting it recommended from Lily (pintsizedbeauty), it´s supposed to give you a really lovely glow and I absolutely love that! Then also the Marc Jacobs Under(cover) Perfecting Primer, it smells like coconut and smoothes & hydrates your skin, perfect! And for last I also want the Too Faced Hangover Primer, simply because I only heard good things about it, haha.
For Foundation and Concealer I chose the Kat von D Lock-It Foundation and Concealer, they´re both full coverage and as much as I love light bases, sometimes a full coverage base is all I want and from what I have seen so far, those two products are unbelievable pigmented! I want to have the MUFE HD Foundation, purely out of curiousity if it´s really so finely produced that you look airbrushed even on pictures.
For setting I´ve been on the hunt for a good loose powder and so I think the Kat von D Lock-It Setting Powder, sounds with its Micro-Blurring Technology really lovely. I absolutey love my NYX Setting Spray, but since the Too Faced Hangover Primer is already so loved, I think the Hangover Setting Spray is definitely worth a try aswell!
Who doesn´t love a good highlighter? I don´t think I have to say a lot about these picks in my wishlist as they all have the same purposes, giving my skin a lovely natural glow!
The Huda Beauty 3D Highlighter Palette, has been all over Instagram since it´s release and I loooove how it looks! You get four completely different highlighters to decide from.
I´m not too sure about the Marc Jacobs Glow Stick, but I´ll definitely swatch it in store and decide from there, what makes it curious for me is it shape as I think it´s really quick to apply it. I´ve been wanting to get the Too Faced Sweet Peach Glow Peach Highligher Palette, since I was in London but it wasn´t available so now no one can stop me, haha!
Almost everyone owns one of the BECCA Shimmering Highlighters, they are straight off perfect and I want one, haha.
Of course I couldn´t miss out on the lip section, the four I have choosen have again been on my Instagram feed for ages now and I love how they all look, highly pigmented, long staying power and a huge colour selection. I´m not too sure which colours I´ll get but there´s enough space on the back of my end to swatch quite a few, haha.
The Too Faced Melted Lipstick, Kat von D Everlasting Lipstick & Huda Beauty Matte Lipsticks are all matte liquid lipsticks and that kind of lip product are my favourites so I definitely need them! The Too Faced Creamy Peach Oil Lipgloss is definitely a nice addition to my collection for the summer time, as I don´t own a lot of (peach smelling) lipgloss.
Now, of course I can´t miss out on new beauty tools aswell. I´ve been on the hunt for blotting paper for a long time now and I hope this one, from the Sephora Collection is good! Then what really caught my attention was the Makeup Eraser, it´s a towel that is supposed to take your makeup off only with water! Like I really want to see if it works cause I imagine it would be really good for your skin in terms of dehydration from certain makeup removers. Also I´m in need of a brush for Highlighter and the Too Faced Mr. Right Brush, seems just perfect for that. It looks really cute and also has the right shape for highlighter application. For the last product on my wishlist I chose this pair of false lashes from Huda Beauty, their Mink Lashes to be exact I know I said in my Monday´s post I would ditch false lashes, but this pair looks to die for! The preview on their packaging looks absolutely gorgeous and I can only image how stunning they would look when used on a full makeup look!
What products are on your Sephora Wishlist?
For a 16 year old girl I would say my makeup collection is quite big. I have probably atleast one thing from every brand that you could really easily get from the drugstore in Germany, or even some brands from the drugstore in the UK.
As I don´t have a monthly income yet it´s quite hard for me to get hold of the high end brands whether from the UK or even the US.
Since the start of December I have been writing everything down that I would like to get, whether as a present for christmas, birthday, etc. from my loved ones or to just treat myself and since Easter is coming up aswell I took this as a great opportunity to share my very own ultimate wishlist. This is going to be a veery long post, so get yourself a nice cup of tea, get comfortable and be prepared for a lot of rambling :)
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, there has been a big hype in the blogger world about this product, I think simply because you get a highlighter and blush all in once with a rich pigmentation (perfect for upcoming spring) in a very simple but still luxiouris packaging and to be honest could there be anything better? I don´t think so.
Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil, I actually can´t really remember why I wanted to get this but I heard some really good things about this product and even on the website it says it helps to dissolve surface impurities and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or dry, sounds good to me :)
Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, the Queen herself has written a book about her 25+ years of makeup artist experience, and even on how to become a makeup artist yourself. This book is also filled with over 200 full-colour photos, step-by-step instructions, tutorials on how to apply your makeup in less than 10 minutes, etc.
MAC Creme Cup Lipstick, I´m on the hunt for the perfect everyday nude lipstick for a while now and this is meant to be the lipstick that sticks up to all my expectations. It is a creme sheen lipstick, so it´s also really creamy, which I love :)
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Highlighter in Soft and Gentle, again there has been a huge hype about this product, it has been seen on so many celebritys and can be found in almost every bloggers dressing table. It is a nice peachy tone with a hint of golden shimmer in it. This highlighter is meant to give you a nice glowy finish and thus perfect for spring and summer :)
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, I have been wanting this palette for sooooo long now, but just couldn´t find the perfect moment to actually buy it, it has always been out of stock and when it was back again, I didn´t have any money left :( Apart from that, this palette is the perfect match of girly, matte, glittery, pinky, nudey shades. I already own the Naked 2 and so I know that I will love the pigmentation!
Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray, this is what the most recent hype is about, it´s a must-have for everyone who is too lazy or simply too busy to retouch your makeup every few hours. It is said to be ultra-light and to has a temperature control technique.
Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, I have seen so many people own and use this palette, it´s insane! For me this palette is a good mixture between natural everyday colours and extraordinary colours to experiment with and also matte and glittery colours. Apparently it´s smells like chocolate, so this is a sweet bonus that this palette has :)
Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette, this palette has won my heart! It just looks so girly and it seems like you could only use shades from this palette, mix them together and you´re good to go.Therefore this would be something for when I´m traveling and don´t want to pack all kinds of different eyeshadows.
Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Blush Palette, I have laid my eyes on this palette for quite some time now. It just has a good match of all different kinds of blush shades and could maybe be also used for contouring and highlighting.
Makeup Revolution 100 Eyeshadow Palette, just recently I came up with the idea that I really need a palette that also contains colours that I normally wouldn´t go for, and this palette is just what I´ve been searching for! It´s amazing for the price and I´ve heard the pigmentation is really good aswell :)
YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, this is what I imagine as pure luxus put in a bottle. This foundation simply has something that tells me to buy and love it. I have seen some youtubers use this foundation and the finish is in my eyes simply amazing. It´s quite pricy so I´m still waiting for "that" moment to buy it.
NYX Powder Blush in Taupe, this is THE powder all contouring fans have been waiting for. The colour is simply perfect for a good contour, because it doesn´t has a orange undertone that will make you look like a fool if you have pale skin like me, you can get it for an reasonable price and you can build it up aswell if you don´t want to go for a heavy contour on some days!
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, this concealer is probably one of those concealer that 98% of the blogger world loves and raves about. It has high coverage and can be used as a highlighter aswell. Again this is a very pricy product and not availabe in Germany so I hope I get a opportunity to get my hands on this little dream soon.
Tom Ford Velvet Orchid, a long time ago I had a sample of this perfume, and the second I applied this I was head over heels with it. For me it kinda smells "rich" like you can smell that this perfume was very expensive. I´m one of those people who just loves to have a signature smell and THIS is exactly what I want to smell like for the rest of my life. Though it´s probably not everyone´s first choice, because the smell is very strong but in my opinion this is a complete dream poured into a little luxurious bottle.
Zoeva 227 Soft Definer Brush, I can never have enough eyemakeup brushes, for a very simple reason: once you dip a brush into one colour you can only use it for this or similar shades! and since this brush is also said to be a dupe for the infamous MAC 217 brush, I decided that I just need it!
Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour Brush, since RT have brought out their long awaited bold metal collection, this is the brush that I have heard the most positive things about. I personally have never seen a brush like this before and together with the NYX taupe blush, I can imagine with the right technique it can definitely help you to get that flawless contour.
Apple iPhone 6+, I know that this phone is like really huge and I can already forget to just put it in my jeans pockets or to use it with one hand, but this phone has something on it that I just love so much. I´m even at this point where I wouldn´t even care what it looks like to call someone in public and it being looked like I use a mini ipad for that. If I decided in the end to really get this phone then it would definitely have to be the golden version of it for me :)
Puuh, this was a hella long post! I congrat you if you read it completely, haha :)
What is on your wishlist this year? Is there something from my list that you own and can give a little review about? :)
