An Epic Birthday Wishlist

This post is by no means me trying to give certain people hints what I'd like for my birthday which is at the end of the month. Honest! It's just an innocent little post. I haven't done many wishlist posts last year, I update it on my Pinterest anyway, but now I'm making a massive one to makeup up for it.

1. TOO FACED Chocolate Bonbons Palette

You're probably familiar with TF's chocolate palettes, well, they just released a new one. This is one of those "never gonna happen" fantasy parts of this wishlist, like Benefit's Rockateur bellow because firstly I don't know where to get yet and second, it costs mucho, many monies. I love the shades in it, maybe not that pink one, but it just looks like a great wearable palette. To be fair I wouldn't mind owning the previous ones too.

Ulta, $49.00

2. STILA Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

A recurring product on my wishlists, you'll see many such items. I still didn't get, even though I really need new one. So many people swear by this one and say it's super black, has great staying power and I heard it also lasts a long time before it dries out. It's expensive, but this is the eyeliner I would most like to try. The greatest irony is that if I bought it last year, it'd be almost two euros cheaper due to exchange rate.

Feel Unique, €19.58.

3. MAKEUP FACTORY Mat Lip Fluid Longlasting 

61 Velvet Rosewood

Surprise, surprise, another thing I talked about already in my previous wishlist and still didn't get. It's like a darker, less pink Bourjois Nude-ist and it dries to such a nice matte finish. I would really like to expand my matte lip creams collection.

Müller, 11.95 €

4. ORIFLAME Volare

Yeah, talked about this too before. Twice *rolls eyes at herself*. I shallowly admit I want it purely for the gorgeous bottle. I'm not sure I'll like it as a fragrance, since I don't know how it smells, but I hear it's similar to Lancome's Tresor, which is more of an early 90's scent.

Oriflame, 20 €, Salma, 16.90 €

5. PHYSICIANS FORMULA Nude Wear Glowing Nude Powder

Last year I feel in love with PF products. This powder is supposed to set the makeup, but leave a radiant finish, so it's probably not that different from Ambient Lightening powders. Of course the packaging is stunning, I already have the blush and I can confirm these are so well made.

iHerb,$14.35

6. URBAN DECAY Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer 

Fair Neutral

One more concealer can't hurt that's what I always say. I heard a lot of good things about it on several blogs, so naturally I'm intrigued. Apparently it's a better (more moisturising) version of Nars Radiant Creamy concealer.

Feel Unique, €23.63

7. MILANI Color Statement Lipstick Matte

Flirty, Love and Passion

Since I've tried the shade Darling, I'm adamant on owning more of these. I'm seriously impressed by the quality and I think these might be the best matte lipsticks I've tried so far. I'd like several shades, but I'm most interested in Flirty, Love and Passion. 

Milani EU 5.56 €

8. MAC Lipsticks 

D for Danger, Relentlessly Red and All Fired Up

Technically, I already own these shades, I have the sample sizes, but I would like to have a proper full size, since these are my favourite shades. Especially D for Danger is beyond gorgeous and I'd like to wear it without being concerned it will run out any minute.

MAC, 20 €.

9. THEBALM Nude Dude Eyeshadow Palette

So I finally found the elusive theBalm counter (oh, the irony) and had a chance to swatch this palette. My love for Nude'tude is well documented here, but I think this one might be even prettier. It is absolutely stunning. I loved almost all the shades, I think one or two weren't the best and the quality of some was even better than in the Nude'tude (it may have been Fit that was incredibly buttery). I hate the packaging, just like the previous one. 

Müller, 35.70 € or 31 €, I'm not sure.

10. BENEFIT Rockateur Face Powder

I wanted this for absolutely ages, but that damn Benefit is apparently trying extra hard for us Slovenes not to be able to get their products anywhere. I would order it already, but where? It looks like my type of shade, which usually implies it's similar to Catrice's Rose Royce or I'm Nuts About you, they describe the shade as rose gold.

Feel Unique, €31.73

11. BOURJOIS Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick 

Don't Pink of It

As a massive fan of Velvets, I would of course love to have more shades. Not just this one, but also Happy Nude Year and maybe one of the two new ones. I think Don't Pink of It is the lightest in their selection and it's a nice warm light pink. I'm baffled why this shade isn't sold here. I'd love to buy it and Happy Nude Year if I could. I just feel like it's not in the stars for me to have this shade. I've tried ordering it twice so far and it was either out of stock or it wouldn't let me though checkout.  

Feel Unique, €12.14

12. LOLITA LEMPICKA Elle L'aime 

I bought a sample of this last year and I'd love to have a full size despite it's lacking staying power because it's such a lovely summery scent. It is reminiscent of the über popular Bronze Goddess, but with a slight citrus twist. It's beachy, coconuty with neroli and jasmine plus some lime that keeps it from being too cloying.

Salma, 25.60 €

13. THE BODY SHOP Body Butter 

Satsuma and Shea

To be fair, here I could just write that I'd like to visit The Body Shop for my birthday. I love that shop, even though people find it overrated. I'm a fan of their body butters, they are the best I've tried and I had many scents, but now I'd like to basically repurchase their Shea and Satsuma version. First is a simple, creamy scent and the second a refreshing, juicy citrus scent. 

The Body Shop, 7 € for 50 ml, 19 € for 200 ml

14. MAYBELLINE Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner

I love trying out new eyeliners and currently I'm in a need of a new one. Emily from Beauty with Emily Fox likes this one and she's tried a lot of eyeliners, so I'm sure it's worth giving a go.

Feel Unique, €8.09; Salma, 6.96 €

15. VICTORIA'S SECRET Body Spray

Amber Romance

I'm currently running out of Coconut Passion version and I'd like something new. Most of their body sprays smell the same to me and lack staying power, but Coconut Passion, Vanilla Lace and this one are proper silage monsters that last very well. Amber Romance is vanilla-amber combination that's not a complicated scent, but a crowd pleaser.

Müller, 13 €

16. SOAP & GLORY Crush Body Scrub

I don't use scrubs enough because I have a problem and save products too much which is utter stupidity since I have the worst problems with ingrown hair. I need to basically surround myself with more scrubs, so I'll want to use them up and the best one I've tried so far was Soap & Glory's Flake Away, but I'd like a different scent now, so any would do and this one sounds nice. Boots International has been promising they'll start selling Soap & Glory. I hope they deliver.

Boots, €9.36 (300 ml)

17. THE BODY SHOP Body Scrub 

Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter or Brazil Nut

As I said I need more scrubs, so I would mind trying a few from The Body Shop. Cocoa one has the best reviews on Makeup Alley.

The Body Shop, €16.00

18. MILANI Rose Blush

I already have 01 Romantic Rose and I'm so blown away by it that I want more (I'll have the review ready soon). The more natural looking shades that is, so Blossomtime Rose, Awakening Rose and American Beauty Rose, all are limited edition.

Milani EU, 9.16 €

19. SEPHORA Cream Lip Stain 

03 Strawberry Kissed

Raves about these is very hard to miss, some even claim these are the best they tried and I do love a good matte liquid lipstick. Strawberry Kissed is most "my type of shade", though I find a lot of them very pretty. Of course, there is no way I could possibly get them online.

Sephora, 14 $

20. MILANI Amore Matte Lip Creme

Lust, Flirt and Romance

Milani also has matte lip cream that they released sometime last year (as LE, but now they might be already permanent). I would love to try a few and I'm most drawn to Lust, Flirt and Romance.

Milani, $8.99

21. I HEART MAKEUP Naked Chocolate

I've been eyeing this palette for ages and every time someone posts about it, I say I will get it. I don't know why I'm holding back at this one, I sort of have a feeling that if I could get it in Müller, I'd already have it. I love the selection of shades in this palette and I can see I would wear it a lot providing the quality impressed me. I did hear it has very decent matte eyeshadows, so I'm hoping it's good. 

Makeup Revolution, £7.99; Ličila.si, 10.95 €. 

22. YVES ROCHER Serum Vegetal Ultra Plumping Serum

A had a nice amount of samples last year and I really liked it as it definitely had a very positive effect on my skin, so I've been thinking about it ever since. Of course in my usual manner I've been holding back and walked empty handed several times from their shop. To be fair, it's not the most affordable skin care item.

Yves Rocher, 26.50 €, 

23. MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick

Oh, Lady, To Matte With Love and High Drama

Oh look, another matte lipstick. Noticing a theme yet? Mac surprised us with their version of liquid lipsticks. A bit late to the party, but I've seen some reviews of these and the matte finish looks so good. These were just released this week and it's probably not available in Europe yet. I'm most drawn to the deep purple-pink Oh, Lady, All-Fired-Up like To Matte With Love and the vampy High Drama, but a lot of the shades are really pretty.

MAC, 20 $

24. ESSIE Nail Lacquer

Starry Starry Night

Essie use to have this gorgeous dark blue nail polish called Starry Night which looked like the night sky, but they discontinued many years ago. Now they are releasing it again in a collection Retro Revival that should be available already, though I haven't seen it here. The new shade is called Starry, Starry Night and it's not the best remake, but it's close enough and it looks beautiful.

If it ever reaches our DMs, I assume it''ll be 9.90 €

25. ESSIE Apricot Cuticle Oil

I talked about this before and I keep avoiding it in the shop, even when I have a discount. I'm still completely neglecting my cuticles, so typical of me and I have a feeling that since this smells like peaches, I might be more inclined to use it. 

DM, probably 10 €

26. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream 

Copenhagen

I ordered this last year, but it never came. I'm still fuming, since so many packages get lost and it's like I have the worst luck in the world. I still want it. It's a burgundy and matte, which I can't resist.

eBay, 5.30 $ plus shipping

27. THEBALM Meet Matte Hughes

Charming, Adoring and Loyal

Yes, another matte lip cream, but it's the last one I swear. These were also released last year and as far as my experience with their product goes, these should be amazing. I haven't seen these in person yet, we still don't have these here, however, they are available online. I'm most interested in the Nude-ist type shade Charming, the burgundy Loyal and deep red Adoring.

Feel Unique, €18.23; Salma, 15.61 €

28. L'OCCITANE Pivoine Bath

Talked about this before too, but I've been avoiding going to L'Occitane because I'm just not in the mood for that type of shopping experience with a sales assistant constantly around me and talking. When I shop, I want to be left alone, otherwise I just want to leave as soon as possible. I love the scent of their Peony line, it's so gorgeous and I would love to have the fragrance too. This is a bath oil, which is the type of product I do need (Avon's bubble baths intrigue me as well, but I'm not a fan of the current scent selection) and it's made out of two phases, so it turns milky white in the bath, but I think I can use this as a shower oil, like the almond one. I might go to their shop this month since I have a discount card and I need to repurchase their cleansing oil.

L'Occitane. 20.30 €

29. ZOEVA Rose Golden Complete Eye Set

Another recurring wishlist item and something I'd really, really like to have, even though Ličila.si send me Nanshy eyeshadow set to review. These come highly recommended and look so pretty, plus there are brushes in it that I still need. Nanshy's are great, but as I said it the review, there are a few types of brushes missing. 

Zoeva, 65 €

Have a great day!

Wishlist #19

1. MILANI Rose Powder Blush

I had my eye on these for so long, but I didn't like the original colours, so I'm happy that they came out with more, though I hear they are LE. There are several shades I'd love to have, but I think that American Beauty Rose and Blossoming Rose look most like my type of colour. Knowing myself I actually think I'd be afraid to use them because I wouldn't want to destroy the gorgeous pattern and I think wouldn't be the only one.

Milani EU, currently 7.73 €; Click2Chic, 10.46 €

2. TOO FACED Love Flush Blush

Another set of blushes that I just find so adorable. The heart shaped design was a stroke of genius, though it's been done before, but these are the first I'd like to try because of the formula. I'm not sure which shade to get yet, maybe something in the peachy-pink range  (How Deep is your Love? or Love Hangover) or something nude (Baby Love). These are quite expensive and I don't even know where to get them yet that they would ship to Slovenia, but there's no hurry.

Too Faced, $26.00

3. HUGO BOSS Ma Vie Pour Femme

EDP

I used up four fragrances in the past month and a half (can I get a high five?), so I deserve a new one. I have three on my priority list, one is L'Occitane's Peony which I cannot get out of my head, but it was in my last wishlist post, the second is Elle L'aime Lolita Lempicka, but that one is very beachy and the third one is Ma Vie, which I also mentioned in one of my wishlists beforeand it's a lovely fruity-floral scent that reminds me of a shampoo, so it's very easy to wear on all occasions.  

Salma, 38.60 € - 47.60 €

4. THE BALM The Manizer Sisters

I was going to include just Mary-Lou here, but then I saw the news of this release and it's just the best idea ever. I have one powder highlighter and even that was gifted to me by the queen of highlighters Petra (thank you again) because she found it too pink for her, so I don't have the best selection of undertones, like something gold. Everyone and their mother is raving about Mary-Lou and though I'm concerned it'd be too gold for me, I want that glow, which is a bit strange coming out of my mouth, but I don't want to do subtle highlighting all the time. The palette contains all three the Balm highlighters, the original Mary-Lou Manizer, the pink and probably more of a blush for me Cindy-Lou Manizer and the bronzy Betty-Lou Manizer. If I won't be able to find this palette anywhere, I'll probably just get Mary-Lou one day.

The Balm, $28

5. MAKEUP FACTORY Mat Lip Fluid Longlasting 

61 Velvet Rosewood

I found this randomly once in Műller and it's been on my mind ever since. It's that popular rose-marsala shade that is everywhere this year, but I don't have anything like it. I swatched it next to Bourjois Nude-ist, which is one of my favourite lip colour ever, and it's darker and less pink, but in the same colour family. The formula dried very matte and I love a good mate finish.  

Müller, 11.95 € (price in Germany)

6. ZOEVA Rose Gold Complete Eye Set

I am in a desperate need of new eye brushes. I'm serious. All of mine are those that were a couple of dollars online or euros in drugstores and they are all so old, I'm embarrassed to tell you (bought way before my blog), plus a lot of them started feeling scratchy. Plus I don't' even have a lot of them. I have three"fancy" brushes that are from Mac - 239, 217 and 219, but they are again super old and they aren't enough. I hear a lot of great things about Zoeva and though the prices are way, way too high for what I'd normally be prepared to pay, I might do something totally out of character and get a set of them. These new Rose Gold ones caught my attention because they are drop dead gorgeous and that is that little plus that might make me want to open my wallet more willingly, I just hope that when I finally make up my mind, I won't discover they are gone.  

Zoeva, 65 €; Moja Drogerija, 68.85 €.

7. MILANI Color Statement Lipstick 

Matte Passion

I hear that this is a good dupe for Lady Danger, which I only have a sample of, but I wear it frequently in the summer, so I'd like to have a proper lipstick in this shade. I'm also really interested in what the formula is like as I just love matte finishes.

Milani EU 5.56 €; Click2Chic, 6.83 €

8. HEALTY SEXY HAIR Soy Renewal Creme Oil

I'm a massive fan of the Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In, it's a product I use every time I wash my hair and it really makes a difference in how long my hair stays hydrated. I heard that this is actually an even better product for dry hair like mine, basically it's an upgrade and of course, I'm itching to try it, but it's ridiculously expensive, almost twice as much as the leave-in conditioner. I'm hoping that it'll be cheaper around Christmas.

Beauty Bay, £20.48

9. MA PROVENCE Shampoing solide bio Anti-pelliculaire

solid anti-dandruff shampoo
I'm currently without any anti-dandruff products, so I'm again on the search for something new to try. I'm not a fan of natural shampoos at all, but Monika from Sugarlove blog says this helped her a lot, so it's worth a try. It's a shampoo bar and I never tried one in solid form, so this will be interesting to test, but I do have my concerns about it being drying. It's very expensive for something that I'm not a 100 % sure I'll like or that'll work, so I'm still putting off actually purchasing it.

DM, 8-9 €

10. L'OCCITANE Pivoine Flora Bi-phase Bath Oil

I found this on my recent visit of L'Occitane's online shop, where I like to look at the Peony fragrance and weep in my keyboard about the price, but I had no idea that such a product existed. From what I can gather it's bath oil made out of two phases and it turns milky white in the bath, but I think I can use this as a shower oil, like the almond one. I'm basically interested in it mostly for the gorgeous peony scent.

L'Occitane. 20.30 €

11. BALEA Dushe & Creme Hibiskus & Nectarine

I knew Balea wouldn't just completely stop doing product with nectarine scent as it was to good not to use it somewhere. You might remember the shower gel in the coconut-nectarine combination, so now they swapped coconut with hibiscus. We'll see how this works out.

DM, probably 0.99 €

12. BARRY M Nail Paint 

292 Navy

I asked on Instagram what nail polish would be similar to the long discontinued Essence's Deep Blue Sea, which is one of the most perfect deep blues with blue frost and I got a reply from Katja (Nail2Express) that Barry M's Navy should fit the bill. And she knows her stuff. I tried buying it on Boots International already, but the site was so glitchy or this was actually out of stock, so I couldn't add it to the bag. I will get it one way or another, mark my words.

Boots International, £2.99

BALEA Mizellen Reinigungs Wasser

Micellar Cleansing Water

Picture here.

Two new exciting launches are coming to DMs, I just don't know if also in Slovene ones, but Balea made a micellar water (two versions) and a cleansing oil. I've seen first reviews of the oil and it's supposedly good, but you end up using it a lot. I might give it a try, but I'll definitely try the one of the micellar waters.

DM, price for micellar water to be announced, the oil will cost 2.45€

BALEA Pflegecreme Best Wishes

Picture here.

New versions of Pfelegecreme are already available in Germany. One is with an orange-grapefruit scent and the other with violet-freesia scent. I'd like to get both, but the citrus one is a priority. 

DM, here presumably 1.19 €, but it's 0.95 € in Germany. 

Have a great day!
