August Favorites 2016 and My Instagram~!

Hey Guys~!

This is my first post in my university room~!! Yes, I'm now in college, and I'm really excited to start something new, in a new city. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post, that will depend on my schedule (which I won't know till a few weeks of school have passed and I get used to everything.) Anyways today I'm sharing my favorites from the past month. So let's start~~!

Wait, I have something else to share with you guys. This past year I started an Instagram for my cosplay. I've contemplated sharing it with you guys, since I get more personal there, but I finally feel ready. So please check it out, {My Instagram} to keep up with my crazy college/cosplay life.

Makeup

NYX Tinted Brow Mascara

I'd never tried this type of product for my brows before, but now I'm in love with it. It not only keeps my brows in place, but it also fills them in with one step.

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey

I've tried this product in bolder colors, and now I finally have a more natural one. It's a pink toned nude, which I like. And I find it moisturizing too, which makes it super easy to wear.

Nail Polish

Essie Parka Perfect

It's a really nice blue-ish grey and I love it. I've been wearing it the past week and it's a really nice color. I do wish I had a top coat to wear with it, cause it kind of chips easily.

TV Shows / Anime

Miraculous Ladybug

Honestly wasn't expecting to like it, but I love this show way too much now. I kind of want to cosplay Ladybug/Marinette, but I don't know when I'll do that.

Danganronpa 3

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced like a year ago. It is so great, even though all my favorite characters have been dying, and I have so many cosplays I want to do from this.

I hope you guys enjoyed this past month's favorites~! If you want to keep up with me, please follow me on Instagram (I'm planning a giveaway over there just saying σ(≧ε≦ｏ) ) In the comments below, let me know what you've been liking. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

September Favorites 2014~!

Hey Guys~!

It's finally autumn and only thirty days till Halloween. A lot has been going on for me this month and through everything, I've gotten a lot of favorites this month. I'm so excited to share all of this stuff with you, so let's start~~!

Makeup

 

MUA Lip Stain in Rose {review}: No joke I have probably worn this lip color every single day this month. It's the perfect fall lip~~!!! It's a nude, dark dusty pink and it's really pretty looking on. I've worn this with so many different makeup looks at many different occasions and gotten many compliments on it.

Milani Bella Eyes in Bella Bronze {review}: This is an eyeshadow that everyone should have. When I first got it, I thought it was too dark and that I'd never wear it. However recently I started buffing it into the crease for many different eyeshadow looks, and it's beautiful. There are some many dimensions to this color and I absolutely love it.

Sleek Blush Palette in Lace: I did show this blush palette in a haul, and I do plan on reviewing it soon. So far I really like it. The middle color in particular is great for an everyday look and it's not too shimmery. The other two colors are a bit dramatic, but once blended out they look really nice.

Confetti Nail Polish in Lonesome Dove: This month I've been wearing a ton of different nail polishes and my favorite by far has been this one. It's a muted grey color and it's neutral toned, which looks really nice on many skin tones. I also liked that it didn't make my hands look weird like many dark, or not bright, nail polishes do.

Skin Care

Clean and Clear Foaming Cleanser: I've wanted just a nice, gentle cleanser to wash my face and this one is great. It lathers up really nicely, removes all my makeup, and it doesn't irritate or break out my skin. The one I have is the sensitive skin formula, but there is a regular version too. 

TV Shows

Girl Code: I usually don't watch anything on MTV, but Girl Code is amazing. It's a comedic advice show where different female and male comedians discuss different topics. Each episode has about three or four topics and the entire cast is hilarious. I don't have a favorite comedian, but that's cause it's so hard to choose~~!!

Daria: I've meant to watch this show for a few years now. Recently I started it and it's so good!!! I really like all the characters, especially the main character Daria, and how they work off one another. Each episode is entertaining and it leaves me wanting to watch more. I've only seen the first season, and I'm already sad that it has to end.

Food

Andes Mints: I don't think I've brought this up on my blog before, but I love anything mint and chocolate. I was shopping and I saw these in the candy aisle. My friend gave me the genius idea to put them in the freezer, and after thirty minutes, they taste just like mint chip ice cream. They come 28 in a package and I can honestly say that I could eat all of them in one sitting.

So those were my favorites from this past month. If you enjoyed this post, let me know in the comments below. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

September Favorites 2013~!

Hey Guys~!

Happy first day of October. Today is the time of the month were I tell you guys my favorite products from this past month. But instead of just showing you makeup and other beauty products, I'll be sharing some non beauty favorites with you guys too. So let's get into it~!

Makeup

I have no new face makeup favorites, so I'm going straight to eye products. I got this Clinique eye shadow quad for free in a gift bag from Bloomingdales. The quad comes with a matte cream called French Vanilla, a satin finished taupe and dark brown from the Clinique duo Double Date, and a matte black called Midnight. All of the shadows are well pigmented and these shadows are great for everyday use.

My love of tight lining has continued and I still use the same liner. This is the Rimmel Scadaleyes liner in the color #5 Taupe. I talked about this in my August Favorites too, so read that post if you want to know more about this amazing liner.

I've gotten really bad chapped lips this month, so I've been trying a lot of healing lip balms. The best one was the Blistex Five Star Lip Protection. It has SPF 30 and is great if you get really dry lips. If you apply this onto chapped lips, it does hurt a bit and it does give a white cast to my lips, so if you try this use it a night or apply a lipstick over it if you plan to wear it during the day.

Nail Polish

 
I have been lazy with painting my nails this month. I had my imPRESS nails on for two weeks, so for two weeks this month I actually used nail polish. A color that I wore that I think is beautiful is by Wet and Wild and the color is called, I Need a Refreshmint. I love the name for this polish and I have a mint obsession, so once my friend showed me this polish I fell in love. This isn't super long wearing, so I did have to touch it up when I wore it, but besides that it's a beautiful color.

Skin/Hair Care

My skin care routine hasn't changed at all, except for the addition of this sheet mask from the company My Scheming. It's an anti acne sheet mask, which I already did a review on {click here to see it.} It's really helped clear me skin and I love it.

 
I have thin hair, so I need to strengthen it. My hair dresser recommended that I use a treatment with Argan Oil and if you don't know what that is, it's an oil that nourished the hair and helps with dry skin. So I purchased the Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil. This contains both Argan and Moroccan oil, another beneficially oil for the hair. I've been using this to control my friz and it works great on my hair.

Music

Yes, I'm gonna talk about my taste in music this favorites post. I do have a unique music taste for a teenager. This month I've been loving the song Every Night by the K-Pop band EXID. My friends got me into K-Pop a few months ago, but this has always been one of my favorite songs. I know the video is kind of weird, but the song is what I like.

An English song I've been playing obsessively this month is Mirrors by Justin Timberlake. I just really like it and I haven't gotten sick of it yet, which is something that happens when I overplay a song.

Anime, TV Shows, and Movies

I have been finding time in my crazy life to watch some anime and a few episodes of some of my favorite TV shows. This month I watched Brother's Conflict,

a romantic comedy, and Dangan Ronpa,

it's similar to the Hunger Games/ Battle Royal. Both were recommended by my friend. I liked both of them a lot.

At the end of the month, my favorite TV shows began their new seasons, 2 Broke Girls

and The Big Bang Theory.

Both are on CBS and they're hilarious.

I haven't seen any amazing movies this month, sadly. But I'm super excited for Catching Fire which comes out in November.

So those were my monthly favorites. Comment with your favorites from this month down below. If you have any ideas for future posts you want to read, I'd like to hear them. See you all at my next post xo
