summer faves ☼

hello lovelies! i'm going to be sharing with you all about my updated beauty/fashion wish list for this post.

i've been watching a lot of fashion videos on youtube lately. and note that when i say fashion videos, i don't mean stuff like zoella or michelle phan because i find that those types of fashion videos are very.... umm.... i don't really know how to say it but it's sort of like you're just looking at things that they like and you're not venturing into your own style from watching other beauty gurus like them. i've been watching videos from fashion tv or vogue about models like lindsey wixson and alexa chung which i really just adore. so without further ado, let's start off with what's new in my beauty wish list. 

beauty wish list:
1. morange by m.a.c. 
this is an absolutely beautiful shade of orange by m.a.c. because it's so light and summery. it really gives a pop of colour to your face especially when you wear it with chocolatey brown eye shadow. i found out about this lipstick from watching the DSQUARED2 spring 2014 backstage video on youtube and i'm considering on recreating the look that they had on lindsey wixson for my school's prom this year. i can tell that it'll look stunning. i might substitute it for rendezvous by revlon because m.a.c. lipstick is quite pricey and the revlon one is quite reasonably priced and the quality is great too. 

what a babe!

2. m.a.c. pro sculpting cream in copper breach and richly honed
these are the same eyeshadows that lindsey is wearing and the same eyeshadows that they used for the DSQUARED2 spring 2014 fashion show. they mixed both these colours together for the eyes to create this beautiful chocolate look.

3. eyeko - me & my shadow (eyeshadow pencil)
eyeko has recently teamed up with alexa chung to create a whole line of beauty products. alexa uses this eyeshadow for her signature simple and clear look that i am deeply inspired by. 


4. eyeko - eye do (eyeliner) 
this liquid eyeliner is the key to alexa's famous cateye. i currently use another liquid eyeliner called in2it which is pretty good but a little light so i end up having to colour many layers for my cateye. this eyeliner by eyeko is extremely good quality and the ink is dark which means that you don't have to colour on so many layers. in case you're wondering why eyeko's products have such cute names, it's because when alexa herself got to name all of them when they teamed up with her. 





5. rimmel moisture renew lipstick - nude delight
a perfect nude shade of lipstick that unlike other lipsticks out there, keeps your lips moisturized. i'm not sure if they sell it in my country but if they don't i'll just have to buy another brand that has a similar colour because i honestly just need this lipstick. i mean c'mon. it's perfect! 


so that's all the beauty products that are currently on my wish list. i don't use foundation or concealer a lot because it clogs up your pores and it makes all my pimples come out the next morning. also they aren't good for your skin so i avoid using them as much as possible. anyway, moving onto my fashion wish list. 

fashion wish list:
1. alexander wang white manuel mary jane pump
alexander wang is a fantastic designer and this mary jane pump is just super cute yet sophisticated. they have them in white, pink, and black. they cost a fortune though.... however, i'm planning on getting this look alike pair from charles & keith that i saw the other day 
(^_^)☆  


2. lia peekaboo blue romper
this romper is the same as the one on the left in the picture above. you can buy it from hello parry. it's still quite pricey but cheaper than buying from the actual alexander wang website. tip: use the discount code "freeshipping"


3. diamond print nude tights
super cute tights from romwe that'll go well with a my leather skater skirt and white cropped blouse from mango. 


4. verge girl blue knit crop sweater
i'm a huge fan of shelby hamilton and i saw her wearing this gorgeous knit from verge girl and i fell in love. i love shelby's style and i would definitely style this sweater just like how she did with a simple denim skirt and white birkenstock sandals. 




well that's about all for now. my mom just gave me a bunch of her old clothes today so maybe i'll make a haul post soon. till then, stay fab xx
