I'm not sure what it was with me this summer, but for some reason, I never quite managed to get into a "summer mood": the frequent heatwaves that we experienced and the constant travelling (none of which was for vacationing purposes) simply got the best of me, and at this point, I'm more than ready to welcome the new season.
This means that fall-appropriate items is the only thing I can think of right now, and having already started working on my wardrobe list by picking up a few odd pieces here and there (nothing too "trendy", as most of the winter styles seem too loud and heavy for my taste), the beauty items were, of course, next in line.
So, my list of must-haves for the upcoming season include:
*Tina's Pre-Fall Beauty Wishlist*
1. Aquolina Pink Sugar. A perfume with a cult following, that's probably too sweet for me, but having heard so many people rave about it over the years, I'm willing to experiment.
2. Lancome Hypnose Star mascara. I'm waiting for this one to wow me, in a way that Doll Eyes never did.
3. Christian Dior Golden Savannah palette. Gorgeous neutrals, carefully selected. It's been a while since a high-end eyeshadow palette spiked my curiosity like this! Can't wait to try it!
4. Sleek Ultra Mattes palette in Dark. This is not a newbie, but the shades seem great for those bolder eye looks that were all over the fall runways.
5. Lime Crime Magic Dust eyeshadow in Dragon Scales. Not entirely sure how I'm going to get this, since it's discontinued. If you own this, I envy you, end of. If you want to sell it, or swap it, do let me know.
6. Soap & Glory Hand Food cream. Another raved-about product, that I'd love to try and will surely prove to be...handy, pun intended.
7. Essie Yogaga collection. My last picks are a few nail polishes from one of Essie's newest collections. The shades that most caught my eye were the softer, more muted ones: Gym Dandy, Marathin, Pilates Hottie and Yogaga.
If I get lucky with my list, rest assured that reviews will follow!
So, what are you planning on getting for the upcoming season? Any particular beauty products that caught your attention? Anyone else in an autumnal mood by any chance?
I want the Essie polishes now! Hadn't even heard of them! I haven't really got into summer this year either, just feel like I've been waiting for Autumn the whole time. I love your blog theme too, have been reading on google reader so haven't actually clicked on your blog for a while xx
ReplyDelete@Lydia: Lol, I feel bad for...expanding your wishlist, haha! As for summer (or...lack there of shall I say), I just can't wait for it to be over already, I'm really looking forward to the first proper blanket nights, the heat has been annoying here this summer!
DeleteThank you for stopping by sweetness! :)

Great list! Golden Savannah and the Sleek Ultra Matte are definitely on my fall favorites list.
ReplyDelete@Sue Lin: Well hello there Sue! Always exciting to find someone with similar tastes! :)))

ReplyDelete@Jodie-Winyan: Ah, I totally regret not picking it up while I was in the UK! It's definitely my no1 hand cream to try, as soon as I'm done with the one I'm using atm! xx

ReplyDeletefrom the 10-15th August and forward i start losing my summer mood and i look forward to the autumn!
@evi: Yes, I saw that one too, couldn't help but think that some of the Stylenomics shades would make excellent handbag colors for fall! Is it just me? :))) x
DeleteΗ Sleek Ultra Mattes palette in Dark είναι και στην δική μου λίστα!! :)
ReplyDelete@Claire D.T: Δεν είναι ό,τι πρέπει για φθινόπωρο? Τέλεια σκούρα χρώματα!!! :)
DeleteI seriously need to make a wishlist for fall too, can't wait for summer to be over and be able to wear more wintery lipsticks and eyeshadows! Also, I can't decide on just one Sleek eyeshadow pallete, for the life of me! And I want to get one sooo bad! :(
