My wishlist for this season!!!

Here is my wishlist for fall! I included Fashion, beauty and one random thing... Enjoy!

Ear cuff/ Ear chain


I am not quite sure about the official name of this thing but i LOVE how it looks and i really need to get one. The best part: you only need one, not two ear piercings for it.

A grey/silver wildfox Heart Jumper


Yes, i know that this is one of the things on my wishlist that is going to remain just that- a wish (since the wildfox jumpers are really, really pricey). Still. I have heard good things about the quality and I LOVE how they look, *sigh*. Oh, did I mention, that Taylor Swift (who is my favorite person EVER) has one of these too?

Short Grey Ugg's


It is starting to get really cold where I live and I want to keep my toes warm and toasty. And from what i have heard, Ugg's are the warmest and most comfortable shoes on this planet. I especially like the short grey ones, I think they will look really good with dark wash skinny jeans and jeggings. But to be honest the only thing i can afford right now are FUggs (Fake Uggs). Still, you never know when a good fairy is going to tell you you've got three wishes. I mean, it could always happen, right? So you better be prepared! :)

Urban Decay Naked2


A few years ago, Urban Decay came out with an eyeshadow palette featuring 12 full size neutral shades. They called it the "Naked Palette. Last year, they released another version of this palette with more cool toned colors and called it the "Naked 2" Palette. I already own the first one and use the heck out of it. So, naturally i am very curious for the second one and I can not wait to try it. I am just not sure if i need both... Oh well :)

OPI "You glitter be good to me"


Since October is breast cancer awareness month OPI came out with this gorgous pink nail polish and is going to donate a lot of money for the cure of breast cancer. And you guys know I just can't resist glittery sparkly nail polish, especially in the colder months.

Bath and Body Works Candles



If you live in the USA and have access to this amazing store, i hope you know how lucky you are. I wish i could try some of their scented candles, since i love burning yummy smelling candles in the fall. Unluckily their website does not ship to europe :(. The one that i want to try most "Salted Caramel".

Lush TWILIGHT SHOWERGEL... Say Whaaaat?

If you have been reading my blog for some time, then you probably know that I am a lush JUNKIE. When i found out that "Twilight", my all time favorite bath bomb from Lush is now available as a shower gel i freaked out!
Twilight bath bomb smells like lavender and is just pure deliciousness. Trust me, if you like lavender as much as i do, you can not go wrong with this scent. Since this product is limited for the halloween/holiday collection i would recommend getting it ASAP. I am going to stock up on this and buy a few bottles (if I can afford it haha :D).
If you want to find out more about this product, go to the Lush Website
I am also going to do a post on this years holiday collection from lush soon, so stay posted for that.

My fall/autumn style

Fall has got to be one of my favorite seasons. I just love the turning leaves, the weather, pumpkin spice latte at starbucks and of course the fashion.

My go-to everyday outfit for this season is pairing dark wash jegings, a comfy sweater or cardigan with a simple camy underneath (all neutral colors). To make the look a little bit more edgy and "me" i love wearing my grey combat boots. And we can not forget about the most important part: a scarf. Scarfs keep you warm and they make your whole look more casual. I actually like wearing scarfs in fun colors too, since my whole look is rather neutral. Another thing i like wearing are "smurf hats". They are super cute and -let's face it- we all have those bad hair days where we just want to hide it a little bit.

So, as you see my style is not anything exciting but it is 100% me :)

I won the Sigma Paris Palette!!!

I still can't believe this is real but i am one of the three winners of a makeup giveaway on youtube (Beautybaby44, she has a blog too, go check her out)! I recieved my price today. I got fair trade m&m chocolate, some nyx cosmetics makeup and for the main price the new and limited Paris Palette from Sigma.

This Palette was created by a bunch of Beauty Gurus on Youtube like Jen from FrmHeadToToe, MakeupByTiffanyD and Xparkage. It comes with 7 Eyeshadows, 2 Blushes, a Highlighter and 2 Makeup Brushes (a large angle contour brush and a flat shader brush).

I have to say i am very, very impressed with the quality of these eyeshadows. They are highly pigmented -even the matte colours- and very easy to apply and blend. The Blushes are very good quality as well even though i think they are a little bit too dark for my skin tone. As for the highlighter, it is not glittery or shimmery, it just adds a nice sheen to your face. The travel sized Brushes are  -obviously- really good quality.

And last but not least the Packaging: It is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love it.








And here are my three favourite Colours...


                                                                         Versailles


                                                                      Notre Dame



                                                                             Orsay


                                                               
                                               Have a happy summer! XOXO Carolina

My thoughts about Brandy Melville


When i was in Italy last week, I got to go to a Brandy Melville Store. Of course i was super duper excited! In the U.S. this Brand is already really popular and hyped about, however, we do not have this store in Austria, where i live. I have seen Stuff from there on tons of Blogs, TeenVogue.com, and in some fashion videos on youtube. Especially LoLuFullyLoaded (check out her blog, her Style I AH-MAZING) seems to like this brand a lot.
The way i would describe their Style is: Edgy, Fun, Young, A little bit of Prep, a little bit of Rock'n Roll.  I think the Reason this Store is popular with so many people is that it features very many different pieces for people with different styles. For instance, you will see a black skull bracelet right next to a preppy handbag or a cute girly dress.
Another thing that drew me in was the way the sore was decorated. There were many pictures on the wall and it was just overall SO IMPRESSIVE!
Since it is a little bit more expensive then other Stores i usuallly buy from, i only purchased one Item for the Fall (a blue and white striped hoodie with a high-low-hem).
Unfortunately i wasn't able to take any pictures but you can also check out the Brandy Melville Official Website if you are interested!

Yet another Polyvore Collage :)

Here is a polyvore collage that i created recently! I actually want to use it as my banner but i have no idea how... So if any of you know how to do that that would be AMAZING. Hahaha because obviously i am clouless :D
Tell me if you like it in the comments,

Street Style

I just had to take a picture of this girl because i love her outfit so much. The fresh pink top is a nice pop of colour, the maxi skirt adds a boho touch and the statement necklace makes the look more glamorous. And of course i can't forget about the Loius Vuitton! Gorgeous!!!

Green shorts?

I am BACK!!! Happy summer everyone... I am sorry i have been gone but i promise i will spend more time blogging, i already have tons of ideas! To start off i just wanted to show you something i purchased today. 
I really wanted to have some coloured shorts for the summer so I got these green shorts from Zara. They fit me really well, they look great with a tan and- the best part- I can wear them with pink (which seems to be my favourite colour at the moment). All in all, i am so happy that i bought them! What do you think?

2) Neon pink lips. (Bobbi Brown Lip clour in "Neon pink".
3) Prada infusion d'Iris perfume. It smells really fresh, kind of spicy and DELICIOUS.

5) Bold blush! (Nars "Gayiety")

XXS- Clutches???

Remember when last year, everyone was all about XXL? Handbags, sunglasses, bangles, hats, everything had to be HUGE. This spring, we are all about the complete opposite: XXS clutches are the new purses.
Since it was seen on all the the runways for this season, clearly alm the cheaper brands are copying them, which is gold for me :). I found some really cute ones in my favourite stores, they are also really affordable.

My forever21 crushes for spring...

Yesterday, i went window shopping (well, basically i tried on a lot of stuff and took pictures) at forever21. I jut waned to share the few pieces i fell in love with. I can’t wait do do my spring shopping for this year! And (OMG!!) it is march already…

image

This bag reminds me of the iconic chanel bag a little bit. “Clutch-like” purses are so IN this season!

image
Don’t hesitate to add some *bling* to your outfit.

image
Oversize and taupe colour. Enough said.

J’aime this beautiful top with lace and a gorgeous pastell-y lavender colour!

We might have thought, that we are through with ripped clothing but this top is definetely HOT.

Have a happy spring! Xoxo carogirl

Nudes, pastels and mints…

I can not wait for spring! This season, it is all about mixing and matching powdery pastel shades with nudes and greys. These colours are classic and chic, but you can definetely make them more hip by adding some edgy accesoires like biker boots. It will also create a cool contrast.

Mac naturally collection review

I think this collection hit austrian stores one or two weeks ago and i just HAD to buy something of it. The two things i purchased are the mineralized blush in the shade "Subtle breeze" and the mineralized eyeshadow in "Cloudy afternoon".

"Subtle breeze" is a light plumy pink that is really pigmented and applies really smooth. It feels really light and silky on my skin and is a really nice every day neutral colour.





And of course i had to buy a mineralized eyeshadow because shimmery eyeshadows are kind of my thing. :) This is probably the most talked about product eye shadow from this collection. In the pan it looks green, blue, ivory and even pink. When you swatch it, it is a gorgeous frosty silvery taupe colour that is the purrrr-fect winter.




(On the left: with primer, on the right without primer)

PS: i also thought about buying the "Blonde" mineralized skin finish but it turned out to be too shimmery as a blush and too pink as a highlight... Anyways, i LOVE this collection and i am sooooo glad i got those two items, i couldn't be happier :)
You know you love me, xoxo carogirl <3
