Dreaming about ...things

Here I am again with yet another wish list collage. I’ve got a mix of everything, so let’s just dive into it.


Safari shirt dress by Desigual – this caught my attention a few months ago even and it is finally on sale now, so you can hopefully get it at a reasonable price. Shirt dresses are my favorite because they look classy and can be casual at the same time. it is very flattering for my figure, especially with the belt. I see myself wearing it with sneakers and my beloved mini backpack.

Stanmore II Bluetooth speaker by Marshall – last year, on Black Friday sale I bought myself the first Marshall portable speaker, similar to this, but smaller, named Stockwell II. I am more than happy with it and it is in use almost every single day, for at least an hour. But now I want another one, a bigger one because size matters. Someone said on YouTube that after he bought his first Marshall, he soon wanted another one and I said to myself then that he must be crazy. Now I understand him. Don’t know how will I justify another ‘’ investment’’, but they just look so sexy and retro. Moving on people, moving on…

Lei by Emporio Armani – I owned this fragrance a few years ago and just loved it. If only the packaging was different, because my bottle started leaking after a year or so, otherwise I would call this a perfect fragrance. It smells nostalgic, it reminds me of my elementary school because back then we wore something very similar – Naomagic by Naomi Campbell which was discontinued years ago. This smells like powdery and musky woody vanilla, it is cold but very comforting. Maybe not the best choice for hot summer, but very lovely and quite affordable.

Celebration foundation by IT cosmetics – when I got back from my holiday, I sadly realized that almost nothing (base wise) suits my ‘’tanned’’ complexion. I think I’m stuck with one sheer powder and too heavy a liquid foundation. Anyway, IT cosmetics is a new brand on our market, but I heard so many great things about them on YouTube, especially this foundation and another version of it (illumination I think). It is not cheap and we have a very limited selection of shades, also I don’t know if you can try anything at the drugstore these days… I’m very tempted, but don’t want to take a risk. We’ll see if I can try it.

Woodland Road Trip collection by Yankee candle – this is their new collection of candles, announced for fall 2021. I couldn’t find the release date, but I think it will be somewhere in mid-August. This collection contains four new scents and will be available only in medium and large jars – I don’t know if this is their new approach, or their new regular practice -  summer elevation release also did not have small jars. I am interested in two scents: 

Autumn Sunset (Orange, Lemon, Cedarwood, Lavandin, Heliotrope, Amber, Sandalwood, Oud) and Woodland Road Trip (Green Mandarin, Frosted Jasmine, White Rose, Douglass Fir, White Vetiver, Clay Sage, Madagascar Vanilla Bean, White Suede, Labdanum)

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
