So I know October isn't really over yet, but I like doing my favorites early, so here they are! Yay! Exclamation marks! Anyway, I've made different groups of stuff I'd like to review in my favorites every month, so I have some beauty products, make up, clothing, random stuff and I'm also showing you my most-played vinyl of the month.
Starting with beauty. First of all, my favorite scent of all time; Coco Noir. I don't wear it that much in the summertime, because I prefer fruity, flowery scents in the warmer months, but now it's getting colder again I'm loving the musky scent of this perfume. It makes me feel elegant at daytime and sexy ( oh no she didn't) in the evening.
VASELINE. My lips are absolute hell in the winter. They get so chapped up and I can't wear any lipstick because it just looks horrible. So Vaseline, preferably in the Aloe Vera version, is something that's always in my bag now that it's getting colder. I've learned from previous years, okay.
My skin has been really nice to me the last couple of months. It's been so calm and moisturized by itself, so I haven't been using a lot of skin care products. To give it just a little boost, I got Lush's Angels On Bare Skin, which saved my life when I just hit puberty. It's a really soft scrub and it smells like lavender and baby fairies, so I'll be using this to give my face just that extra love it deserves.
I might be late with this but I just needed the NAKED Basics palette so much. I really don't like heavy eyeshadows, and I prefer neutrals over anything. The normal palette was a bit too much for me though; I knew I'd only use the matte colours in it. My mom bought me this at Sephora when she was in Rome, because Sephora left The Netherlands. Grr. But I'm really glad I have this and it contains all the shades I need in my life.
So as I love neutral eyeshadows, my lips I prefer as dark as possible ( or naked as well). So I picked up Mac Diva in September, to go a little darker than my Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Passion. Mac Diva is a gorgeous matte dark red, and I've been wearing it nonstop lately. ( Which is why I didn't show you the lipstick itself. It looks horrible and attacked. )
I hated not being able to find a lovely nail varnish in Lilac. They were all OR greyish OR too dark. Yes, I get picky when it comes to my favourite colours. But Lilacism from Essie is just the perfect shade and goes so well with my all-black outfits ( which I wear almost everyday).
SO ALL MY FRIENDS WENT TO SEE JOHN MAYER LAST NIGHT AND I WAS NOT THERE. So I listened to his 'Where the light is' vinyl, which was so expensive but it is one of the best vinyls I own. I love this live set, so I didn't even regret not getting a ticket for his concert at. all. ( No I'm joking. I do. So much. Someone get me a ticket for tonight's show. Or tomorrow's. Pleaaaase.)
For the random section of this month, I wanted to talk about my obsession with Moleskine notebooks. Actually I don't want to talk about my obsession with Moleskine notebooks. They're kind of pricey and you can write on anything but the paper is so soft you know. And the design is flawless. So I've been using a blank paper one for poems and drawings for a long time now ( left) and I loved it so much that I decided to get a diary as well. The layout of the pages is perfect and I never miss an appointment again! ( I suck at advertising stuff. But it is true; the paper just makes me want to write on it, so I do plan everything in.)
And I'm sorry to talk about Pokémon again. It's just been a really big thing in my life lately. I love the new game so my little brother's 3DS has been in my pocket for the past two weeks. I've just been using it a lot. It's probably the reason why I haven't been reading a lot of books lately. Next month, there will probably be a book in it's place in my pocket.
To finish it off, my favorite clothing items of the month. My American Apparel Riding Pants, which I've shown you in my first outfit post, have been my leg savers. I confess to be a skirt girl, but tights just get too cold on some days. The riding pants are so soft and the material really keeps me warm, so they are one pair of good pants.
My white blouse from Monki, is the perfect white blouse for me. I really don't like pointy collars, and most blouses have those. So when I saw this one I just had to get it and I love wearing it on it's own or underneath a sweater on colder days.
So thank you so much for reading my first favourites post, I'll post one of these every month if you guys want me to.
Love,
Shanna
