Bedroom Decorating Wish List

Hi there everyone!

Todays post is going to be a slightly different from my usual posts as it's not beauty or lifestyle but is a home ware wish list. As I said previously i'm moving into a new apartment with 2 of my friends and we don't have a house yet but we are close to finding one and I'm so excited to decorate my room in our new flat. Whatever house we decide on, I know the kind of room I want so I thought I'd share my ideas with you and maybe it might be a future inspiration to some or if you just like to decorate rooms as much as me. (I often decorate my own room from scratch in my head just by looking at furnitures online like Ikea...)

Alright, here we go...

First of all, Alex Drawers are a well loved desk staple in the blogging/vlogging community. That is not the reason i want the Alex drawers but I do want them. They are white, simple looking and it is just very easy to decorate with little accessories. I want two Alex Drawers with an Ekby Alex Shelf on top of it to use as a desk. I will also use the bottom drawers for cloth essentials such as socks, underwear etc... as i won't have any other drawers.

It might have came out a bit weird to some that I said I won't have any other drawers or a wardrobe. That is because I'm planning on getting two of these. They were on my wish list for so long and now i can actually get them and use them and they're very practical since they don't take up a lot of space. I just love how they look. It gives such a great vibe to the room.

I will be taking my mattress from my current house as it is extremely comfy and is 120 cm in width which just makes it a lot more comfortable to sleep in. However, my mom doesn't let me take the bed itself so I have to find a new one. I still don't have an item I'm %100 sure i want. I basically want a white metal bed so I can hang stuff on the head side. I have looked through Ikea but I'm not sure about them. However if i had to show what kind of a bed I want it would probably be something like this;

So, the main furnitures will be these. I want a simple bedroom as you can see since they bring me more peace and relaxation. Later on I will get more colourful little pieces to spice up the room and add some colour but now these will be the main items :)

What do you think? Do you have any ideas you think would be useful for me? 

Real Techniques Eyes Enhanced Starter Kit

As I said in my previous post, I’m currently on holiday enjoying the sun and the sea during day time, trying to relax before I go back to a very hectic schedule waiting for me at home. As I spend my days sunbathing and swimming, I try not to sit around during night times. I usually go out with my friends and since wearing base products in this heat is like torture I stick with just eye makeup and a bold lip. My eye makeup was very simple before this holiday, I would do a flick with my eyeliner, load on some mascara and I’d be done. However during my holiday I decided to test the waters and use some eyeshadow. What helped me with my new adventure was the Real Techniques Eyes Enhanced Starter Kit. 

The kit has 5 brushes in it which all have the classic RT base with the Nars like feel at the bottom and a metallic holder. The holder is purple which indicates it’s for their eye collection. You can create an amazing eye look using all these 5 brushes. Lets dive in now shall we?

Fine Liner Brush

I must say I was the most skeptical about this one. Ever since I started using gel eyeliner, I used a MAC 266 brush so I thought I wouldn't have any use for this but applying eyeliner with this is a dream. I use my 266 for thicker liners with flicks but this one is more precise and because of its tapered look you can make your like as thin as you want. Those bristles that look wonky on the photo just gets in line and goes away when you dip the brush in the gel liner pot. So good! Definitely better than I expected.

Accent Brush

I love accent brushes like this. It is definitely smaller than my other accent brushes but I feel like it helps a lot more when it comes to small places around my eyes. You can use this to smudge out your eyeliner on your lid or use it like I do which is to smudge out your liner or eyeshadow under your eye to give a more smoky look. 

Brow Brush

I was shocked when I saw the thickness of this one. I was expecting it to be more like my 266. I thought it would be very thin so I could have a 266 dupe. That certainly wasn't the case as it is very thick and as the name suggests, it can be used on brows. Now, I wasn't the kind of girl who filled in her brows or ever needed to but my eyebrows are looking slightly out of shape these days and this brush was kind of like a savior! It could have been a bit smaller or thinner but you can definitely make it work. 

Base Shadow Brush

This is my favorite brush in the set! It’s your basic eye shadow brush with a more precise shape and the bristles help pick up just the right amount of color. You can’t get “too much” product with this brush. You can use it to apply eyeshadow on your lid and use it to create a smoked out look as the shape of it really gets in your crease and blends well. I learned how to put eyeshadow on my crease with this little bad boy. It definitely thought me a lot.

Deluxe Crease Brush

I have to say, I didn't know what to do with this one at first! It looked too chubby to be a crease brush, too thick to blend and I was just stuck. I couldn't apply eyeshadow with it as it wasn't suitable for my eyelids either. One day I decided to blend everything after I finished everything though and this fat little brush blends like a dream! It is perfect for blending and I learned not to judge a brush by it’s shape, haha! It blends out every harsh line and just makes everything look as natural as it can look! This is my second favorite for sure, it might even replace my ultimate favorite. 

Overall I would definitely recommend everyone to try out this amazing set! It is a lifesaver especially for those of you who are just starting to experiment with eye makeup. It’s quite cheap as well! The entire set is almost the same price as my 266! Five amazing quality brushes with the same price as one high end brush. I’d definitely try out the set first! ;)
