Summer Wishlist


1. Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme,  Guerlain Lingerie De Peau BB or Clinique Moisture Surge CC 
Lets not get into the whole BB/CC debate, because I am of a strong opinion they are nothing new, just regular tinted moisturisers and those with more coverage, basically a foundation (and yes, I believe the same way about Korean ones, I have a few). I'm a huge fan of the skin-like finish and when I was younger there weren't a lot of tinted moisturisers (well, any really) on the market that would be light enough for such pale skin as mine. These new releases are finally a step in the right direction, this BB craze actually brought something good. I've tested the Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme and really loved it (now, that's what I call a great tinted moisturiser), but I would love to try Guerlain's Lingerie De Peau BB (the lighter shade looked great when I tried it in the shop, but it does have more coverage than the Dior one) and Clinique Moisture Surge CC cream as well. I've heard nothing but good reviews on all three and I would love to have a nice tinted moisturiser with an SPF.

2.  Essie Turquoise and Caisose
 This shade has been on my wishlist for ages, but now I finally had the chance to see it in person when our DM's started carrying Essie. I'll admit, I'm having issues with paying 10€ for a nail polish, but I do love a good turquoise shade.

3. Clinique Chubby Sticks,  Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick or Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon 
 I've been avoiding the whole lip pen/crayon trend for quite a while, mostly because not many brands sell them here. I think I might finally cave and try one, probably a red one, but I have yet to decide on whose version I'll choose. I'm gravitating towards Bourjois one, because the quality of their lipstick is fantastic and I have high hopes for their lip crayons.

4. Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne
 I've heard it smells like nectarine and peach which is right up my alley. The only problem is that since the Royal Mail banned shipping fragrances internationally, I having difficulties finding it anywhere. But there are some samples sold on eBay and I might get them. As if my perfume collection isn't big enough already. 


1. Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm
I've read some nice reviews about it, but it is ridiculously expensive for a cleanser (not as expensive as the Emma Hardy one though. I can't believe people pay so much for that stuff just because some skincare blogger recommends it). I get through cleansers too fast to be splurging big bucks on it, but I guess I can treat myself once. Maybe.

2. REN Glycolatic Radiance Renew Mask 
I already have the Concentrate from this line and I quite like (I'm still in the testing phase. All I can say is that the effects definitely aren't immediate, but it sure makes your skin feeling soft and brighter). I'd like to try this mask as well, there are too many people raving about it too ignore it. But I am so lazy when it comes to masks, I usually just can't be bothered waiting those 10 minutes. 

3. Eucerin Aquaporin Light 
I've already had this moisturiser and it was the perfect base for make up, not to mention a great moisturiser in general. I did a review here. I actually bought it because I received some samples just out of the blue while in a pharmacy and I absolutely loved it. It goes to show how much samples are important.

4. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair
This one of the best products I've ever used on my face. My skin really was in such great condition while using it. I would repurchase it right away, online of course, but I'm worried what state it would arrive in such hot weather. Limoni has 40% off everything due to closing their shop in Citypark, but I was late to the party. Oh, well... I did a review here.

5. Kérastase Oléo-Relax Smoothing Masque 
I was seriously impressed by all the Kérastase products I bought a few months back (true miracle products. Lengthy reviews here) and I would love to try some more. This mask comes heavily recommended on MUA, hence why it made "the list".

Any products on your wishlist for Summer? Have a great day!
