April 2016 Wish List

Starting May with a wish list post.  I haven't done this type of post in awhile so I decided to post a new one. These are the things that I was obsessing with over the past month and I'm gonna get into the details in clockwise order.

1. Bomber Jacket

I've been seeing bomber jackets in every store lately and because of my obsession with outerwear I figured a nice plain bomber jacket would be a staple piece of mine (but unfortunately haven't got the chance to purchase one. Sigh). This bomber jacket is from River Island with a nice army green color. I prefer black because I can put together any outfit and it'll basically match everything and every color. (ps I'm in the process of making my own bomber jacket but still too lazy to continue doing it. Soon ok. Pretty soon. I hope)

2. Grey hair

This grey hair trend has been everywhere and I think it's such an interesting color. Since I got rid of my ombre hair I want to dye my whole head grey. I know, a little bit too extreme. But if I have the change I'd like to go for a more darker grey with a hint of dark blue. But for now I'd like to keep it black and natural.

3. Liebeskind 'Alissa' Backpack

My obsession with peach is not ending anytime soon (no not the fruit, the color). Peach and backpack specifically. I know some girls prefer wearing handbags over backpacks, but I'm more of a backpack kind of girl. Although most of the time you'll find me wearing my old black handbag (if I'm too lazy too pick an outfit that goes together with a backpack. Which is almost everytime). But often times if I have the opportunity to pull off an outfit wearing a backpack I will wear the backpack. Anyway I was in search of a new bag to replace my old bag that's already peeling off here and there and I came across this new store and fell head over heels right off the bat. Long story short saw this leather bag and thought "I need this in my life" and that's that.


4. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in 'Amore'

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect lip color and I've always been obsessed with mauve/plum color. I've searched here and there and I couldn't seem to find the perfect lip product with the color that I want and also affordable (no, Stila is not affordable but this is just a wish list, right?!). I tried this on at Sephora and I thought this was the perfect color. But because Stila is more on the pricy side obviously I didn't purchase it. But if there's a dupe or a similar products that does the same thing, I'd definitely like to get my hands on it.

May Most Wanted

1. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask
   

Surprise surprise, another mask I've been dying to get my hands on. The charcoal in this mask is an active ingredient that's supposedly act as a "magnet" for all the dirt and oils that's clogging the pores and having that squeaky clean face is has been and always will be a dream of mine. Also, this product comes in a 50ml and a 100ml tube which is a pretty good size for a face mask.

2. Shoe Cult Alkali Flatform

I've been digging flatform sandals like this. Literally in every store I go to there are always ones that are similar to this. Plus the white color looks ultra chic no?

3. Forever 21 Faux Leather Barrel Bag

I'm currently in a hunt for a barrel bag because I'm all about big bags instead of mini purses because I love bringing tons of my essentials everywhere I go and this bag goes along with basically any outfit and any color and look just how cuuuute it looks.

4. Korres Wild Rose Instant Brightening Eye Treatment

I always have problems with dark circles and puffiness under my eyes, mainly because I stay up late at night everyday which is really bad for the skin so I found this eye treatment, and it seems to have great reviews. Also, I'm super super excited for the new Sephora store here in Jakarta and hopefully I will be able to purchase this baby pretty soon!

5. Kate Spade Medium Bella Pouch

Mini black pouches are sleek as hell tho. Nuff said.

6. Tarte Cheek Stain in Fearless

I haven't owned a single blush in my life, and this one in particular by Tarte is really unique and I'm really interested to try this out. Also, Tarte always comes up with killer packaging.

7. Clarisonic Aria - white

I'm always such a skincare freak. It says that clarisonic cleans six times better compared to just washing your face with your hands and I could picture myself washing my face with this and it would feel so good after because I'm obsessed with being squeaky clean so this clarisonic totally attracts me, plus it's white which makes it even more sleeeek.

Radar: Édition de Beauté

It's been quite a while since I've talked about my cravings and must haves and etc etc, I figured now it's time to do another, since at this moment I kid you not, I am wanting too many things. But this time it is beauty edition, exciting! Okay so these products have probably been on the market for years but I am just recently obsessed with beauty products  (because recently I watch a lot of beauty gurus' videos on YouTube and I've got to admit, they can be pretty addicting). So here are just some of the things I've been wanting to get. I'm going to start off with:

1. LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Just by the look of it, I definitely want to eat it. I knew this product a couple months back from Ingrid Nilsen (a beauty guru from YouTube known as missglamorazzi). The one that she owns is the popcorn lip scrub but I found this bubble gum one from the internet and I instantly fell in love with it. The color (if you are close with me you pretty much know how obsessed I am with pink) and the shave iced-like texture is divine. I haven't touched this product or seen this in real life so as you can tell.. Yeah, I still judge a book by its cover.

2. NYX Matte Lipstick

Not a big fan of makeup, but I am such a sucker for nude or peachy color, especially matte ones. I want this lipstick because it has a very subtle color that won't make my lips stand out too much, so it'll turn out nicely. If you didn't know, I am telling you this: NYX has the best, I mean, the best lip color shades ever. They also have different kinds of lip products which attract me the most. A few days ago I went to Debenhams to swatch some matte lipsticks on my hand because I was very very curious about how the colors will turn out like in real life, since I had been searching NYX lipstick products all over the internet. They have just the perfect shades and I am in love. Definitely getting this the next time I go to Debenhams.

3. Bath and Bodyworks Coconut Lime Breeze Body Lotion

I am also a sucker for body lotions. I love everything with fragrance. And lately I've been obsessing over anything related to coconuts. Something about coconuts' smell is just fresh and relaxing yet not too overpowering which I really love. Nothing much to say about this product. It's just a really great product and smells amazing.

4. Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution Serum

This is a little bit unusual for me to want something related to skin care products. I first knew this product from an Indonesian blogger and shoe entrepreneur Diana Rikasari. The reason I wanted to get this was because I have an acne prone and very oily skin so basically everything breaks me out. And every time my pimples would always leave red or dark spots which is highly uncomfortable to look at. And this product says that it helps to lighten uneven pigmentations on your skin and this product has a lot of good reviews. The only downside is the price. It costs around Rp 500.000 here in Indonesia. Okay just a little story, I saved my money for this, and when it was the day to buy it, I went to the store, and when I finally got in front of the store I immediately turned around and went, "nah" and I ended up buying a concealer which helps a little bit too, but I think this serum would get the job done even better. But for the price, well, I'm going to have to think about it first.

5. Butter London Nail Polish

I have been obsessing over this shade of color for a long time and probably won't stop. These colors look so delicious that I want to eat it. There are a lot of nail polish products here in Indonesia, but I feel like only Butter has the perfect caramel-y shades. Although I don't know if they sell these in Indonesia. I would love to buy one. Or even three of them! I haven't tried this nail polish nor read the reviews so I can't really judge the quality of it. But overall, amazing color. Magnifique. 

Fleurs, Fleurs, Fleurs

Been dying to have this Summer Hill scented body lotion and eau de toilette from Crabtree and Evelyn. The Summer Hill collection smells so good. The scent is very refreshing and soft and the packaging is lovely. I am currently saving for these babies because they're very very pricey. I want them so bad that I just have to share about this.

What's On My Wishlist:

1. James Dean T-Shirt

2. Cat eye sunnies

3. Lady Gaga 'Fame' Eau de Parfum'

4. The whole Arctic Monkeys album (I put them in order which the top is their first album, going down is the newer albums), exclude singles

1. I love James Dean. There is definitely no way that I own a t-shirt without him being printed on my t-shirt.

2. I know it's not a new thing, but I always like something when

it has passed its booming-sort-of-era.

3. Not a fan of her, the bottle itself gave me the first

impression that this perfume was going to smell very strong and heavy, but it turned out that it smelled decent and sweet. J'aime beaucoup ce parfum.

4. You might think it's a little odd seeing those albums on my wishlist but, yeah,  I am actually pretty serious about wanting to collect them all (lol). I have one of their albums which is Suck It and See. I saw their first album titled 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not' back in HK but it was, for me, a little too expensive and I got no money left that's why I left my 'cd-to-be' unbought... (is that even a word?)And I saw Humbug at a mall when I passed a cd store but didn't bring any money, when I came back a few days after I first saw it, it was gone, so, yeah.. Conclusion: I have problems with money.

If you didn't know about Arctic Monkeys, look it up. You'll thank me later. Xx
