My August Faves: My favorite "anythings" that I discovered in August. Enjoy!
NYX Eye Shadow Palette
http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/love-in-paris-eye-shadow-palette/NYX_098.html?cgid=eyes#start=8&cgid=eyes
On Sale at the NYX Website for $5.00 a palette
Also available at Ulta.
I’m a neutral palette type person with pink accents. These two palettes are perfect for me for a day-to-day look. At work I don’t want dramatic heavy looking make-up. The two eye shadow palettes I absolutely love are Merci Beaucoup (Shimmery & matte neutrals, gold, and rust colors) and Pardon My French (Shimmery beiges, golds, browns, and greens.) In the Pardon My French palette I don’t use the green colors, they don’t look good on me!
e.l.f. Cosmetics Complexion Makeup Brush
$3.00 at Walmart.com
This is an inexpensive brush that I use everyday for my blush application (even though it is labeled “complexion brush”…I don’t care. I use what I like best! It works really well with picking up the pigments and the application is smooth to the cheek.
According to the website, “Made with synthetic taklon, it is anti-bacterial, soft and highly absorbent. You can easily use this cosmetic brush with any wet or dry products.”
Costal Linen Candle
Available at Target.
I love love love this scent. I’m addicted to the smell; it is like masculine cologne. Yum! I’m already on my third one of these.
Tabor Hill Valvin Muscat Wine
http://www.taborhill.com/
I’m from the Midwest, thus no good local wineries. But once in a blue moon I take trips along the cost of Lake Michigan and land on the Michigan Wine Trail. Always have a great time on these wine tours! My favorite winery is Tabor Hill. A couple weeks back on a trip I stopped at one of their tasting rooms and tried the Valvin Muscat. A very crisp clean tasting white wine. I’m not a dry wine drinker, but this soon became a favorite of mine!
The website describes states “Our Estate Grown Valvin Muscat opens with floral aromas of apricots and orange blossom. On the palate are tropical fruits including notes of peach and tangerine. The finish is long and crisp. Produced with a slight sweetness, this wine comes off like a tropical fruit basket in a glass. Serve the wine as an aperitif, with cheeses or spicy foods and of course fresh fruit desserts.”
Blog I love: http://www.soobsessedwith.com/
~I discovered this blog about 7 months back. You can tell how much Hannah loves her blog because it is beautiful and very fascinating. When looking back at her post, I find that she and I have many of the same interests. Her posts definitely keep my interest, especially regarding her books reviews and selections! Great blog to follow with great pictures and insightful point of view!
Song I am loving: Omi “Cheerleader” – the slow 2012 version.
I recently went on a road trip and my friend I went with played this song continually. “How have I not heard this”, I thought to my self. It’s because my friend was playing the original version of the song that came out in 2012?!!!! The faster version played now on the radio is okay, but I prefer this one. Check out the video online…the “Official” video from 2012.
Movie: Marley & Me
Yes, this came out in2008, but I hadn’t seen it in years. I decided it was time to re-watch and I’m glad I did. I forgot how much I loved this movie. Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson are awesome in here and they had great chemistry with the dog Marley…the true star of the movie! Marley & Me made me laugh and it made me cry…at the end always! I love animals and I am definitely a dog person, so this movie is right up my alley. If you haven’t seen this movie… you should; if you have…re-watch it!
Behind Bars: Rookie Year on A&E.
http://www.aetv.com/behind-bars-rookie-year
I just happened to stumble upon this new series on A&E and it instantly captured my attention. It soon became a favorite and I have my DVR set to record the whole series until the end of the season.
What it’s about, “A&E Network presents "Behind Bars: Rookie Year," a new original documentary series following novice correctional officers as they begin their careers inside the walls of one of the most perilous prisons in America, the Penitentiary of New Mexico. '"Behind Bars: Rookie Year" is on Thursday night at 10PM ET/PT on A&E.”
