Yep, ladies and gentlemen: This Sunday, on the 2nd of March I&#8217;ll never see the word <em>&#8216;teen<\/em> in my age again. That&#8217;s right, this Sunday I&#8217;ll turn 20-years-old!<\/p>\n<p>I decided to come up with my first online wishlist ever. No, I <em>absolutely<\/em> don&#8217;t expect from anyone to buy any of this for me, it&#8217;s more of what I&#8217;d like to purchase myself sometime in the next 5 years&#8230; okay, maybe 3. Or 2.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>LORAC Pro Palette<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5400\" alt=\"Wishlist01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist01.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist01.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist01-315x119.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe amounts of tutorials I&#8217;ve seen of people using this palette is uncountable. The <em>LORAC Pro Palette<\/em> looks like the <em>Mother of Neutrals<\/em> with cool and warm-toned neutrals, and of course shimmers vs. mattes. It&#8217;s a neutral perfection. And why I still don&#8217;t own this beauty is a complete mystery to me.<\/p>\n<h2>Urban Decay VICE 2 Palette<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5393\" alt=\"Wishlist06\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist06.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist06.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist06-315x235.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnother palette I&#8217;ve been eyeing lately is the <em>Urban Decay VICE 2 Palette<\/em>. A palette with stunning neutrals, smokey brights and glamorous nudes. It looks like the perfect palette for a neutral, every day look with a pop of color. I also would love to get the VICE 1, but I feel like I&#8217;d gravitate towards this one a bit more.<\/p>\n<h2>Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5390\" alt=\"Wishlist02\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist02.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist02.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist02-315x206.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnother one of those palettes that has been all over YouTube and Instagram lately. I don&#8217;t see a color that&#8217;s anything close to my beloved <em>N.Y.X Blush<\/em> in <em>Taupe<\/em> or <em>Illamasqua Eyeshadow<\/em> in <em>Heroine<\/em>, but I still feel like this would be great for my kit.<\/p>\n<h2>Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5402\" alt=\"Wishlist03\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist03.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist03.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist03-315x208.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOne of my favorite things to do in my daily makeup routine is my brows. And I&#8217;m always experimenting with new products: Powders one day, gels and pencils the next. I&#8217;ve been pretty loyal to my powders lately, but feel like I need concealer to sharpen everything up a bit. Then I saw <em>Anastasia&#8217;s Dipbrow Pomade<\/em>: Super pigmented, moist-y brow goodness. Perfect to get sharp, clean lines without needing a bitchload of concealer.<\/p>\n<h2>Diva Ring Light 18&#8243;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5391\" alt=\"Wishlist04\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist04.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist04.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist04-315x174.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnother thing I&#8217;m always experimenting with is my lighting. I take my filming set-up\/lighting very serious. I&#8217;m always looking for ways to get my videos to look better and more professional. Right now, I&#8217;m pretty okay with how my videos look. The lighting is as close to real life as I can get it. However, I&#8217;ve seen a lot of gurus using the Diva Ring Light lately, and can&#8217;t help but drool over that pretty lil&#8217; ring in their eyes.<\/p>\n<h2>Canon 700D Body<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5392\" alt=\"Wishlist05\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist05.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist05.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist05-315x152.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been using my trusty old <em>Canon 600D<\/em> for about 1-2 years now, and couldn&#8217;t be more happy with it. One big issue I do have with it though, is that it doesn&#8217;t auto-focus while filming. Meaning: You have to stay at one point, to stay in focus. If not, your video will end up a blurry mess. And that&#8217;s something that has given me quite some frustrations in the past. The 700D would be the perfect solution as this does have a auto-focus mode while filming. It would result in quicker recording-sessions, as I don&#8217;t have to worry about being in focus or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple iMac<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5396\" alt=\"Wishlist09\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist09.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist09.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist09-315x237.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHAH! No! I don&#8217;t expect anyone to buy me this <em>ever<\/em>. But I can wish, right? I&#8217;d love to get an iMac in the next 2 years, just because editing would be a breeze with this. I&#8217;ve heard that MacBooks have different processors than the iMac, and to keep it simple: The iMac processor will be a better friend than the MacBook one. For now, editing on my MacBook Pro can be a pain at times, but manageable. But I&#8217;d definitely like to take a look at this in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Ted Baker Leyah Purse<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5394\" alt=\"Wishlist07\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist07.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist07.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Wishlist07-315x323.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI recently bumped into this while doing some shopping in Eindhoven, and couldn&#8217;t stop staring at it.
