September Favorites

Hello everyone!! I know I'm a day late, but I hadn't actually decided to do monthly favorites until just now. I think it'll be fun to be able to look back on this month and see what kind of things I got to enjoy. So let's get started!

ENTERTAINMENT

This was actually a bit of a hard choice because there are so many amazing vloggers out there (Zoella, Tyler Oakley, & Grace Helbig to name a few) that I absolutely love, but I did end up choosing Tanya Burr. She has such an amazing personality and style that I never get bored of watching her videos. She is just so real and likable! I was really impressed with not only the quality of her videos but the content as well. If you're looking for a fashion guru or just need a pick-me-up, I definitely suggest checking out her channel on YouTube.

FOOD/DRINK

I know everybody has different tastes when it comes to foods and drinks, but I have really enjoyed this tea a lot and I feel like it's not too strong or like a special flavor so a lot of people could enjoy it. It's called Jasmine Green Tea by Teatulia and it comes with 30 round tea bags. The tea bags (which are stringless/tagless) and the container are compostable which is wonderfully Eco friendly. It's got a very smooth taste and makes me feel happy and content, which is always good when I'm stressing over things.

MAKEUP

I did talk about this in another post, but I loved it so much I had to add it to this list! I just find that it goes on really well, and it lasts for ages. When I'm running to my classes, catching a bus, or just flat out busy, I don't have time to make sure my eyeliner is in place. With this liquid eyeliner by kleancolor I never even think about the state of my eyes because it's so long lasting. To learn more about this product click here.

BOOK

I was originally drawn to this book because the title was quite funny. It's called If Ignorance is Bliss, why Aren't There More Happy People?: Smart Quotes for Dumb Times by John Mitchinson and John Lloy. When I got it, I thought it would be in the format of a normal book, but it is just pages and pages of quotes from famous people (past and present) and it's organized by topic. I absolutely love it and have been laughing my head off at the choices they picked. I feel this would be a great book to have set out on a coffee table for visitors to flip through, and I may have to buy my own copy soon. One of my (many) favorite quotes that I've found so far is, "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti." which was apparently said by the beautiful Sophia Loren. So if that beauty icon says spaghetti's ok, then who am I to argue?

Eyeliner Precision (403)

Since I have quite squinty eyes, for most of my life I have shied away from putting eyeliner on my top lid because no matter what I did it would just end up smearing. This was very frustrating to me, especially since winged eyeliner has become so popular. I decided to get my makeup done professionally when I had a little extra money, and the ladies didn’t speak very much English. I tried to tell them not to bother with eyeliner but they just tsked and shooed away my words. They carefully applied liquid eyeliner and then instructed me to keep my eyes closed for 5 minutes. I just about fell asleep! Which would have been very awkward considering I not only walk and talk in my sleep, but I was in the middle of a very crowded mall.  Five minutes later I opened my eyes, blinked a few times, and lo and behold NO SMEARING!! It was a miracle (maybe a superficial and materialistic one but still) and I was thrilled. The eyeliner they used was Eyeliner Precision (403) by Kleancolor which costs about $2.99. I bought it at a store called Daiso, but you can also get it at http://www.kleancolor.com/index.html. Not only did I immediately buy one, but I have used it every time I wear makeup. I absolutely love it! It has taken a little bit to train my clumsy hands to apply it properly, but other than that it’s great. It comes off easily, and a bit oddly. You can of course use makeup remover but it also can be peeled off which was very surprising to me.

I rate this product: Love It!
