There is one thing every nerd girl loves. And thats the mixture of two of her obsessions. So for every girl who loves to cosplay, has decided they were born in the wrong universe far far away, or simply like me thought they should be the one to marry Han Solo, do I have some exciting news for you?! CoverGirl is working with Star Wars to drop a new cosmetics line, in just a couple weeks and just in time for everyone to get glammed up to head out to see The Force Awakens this December!

I know, exciting right? The line, which in part is available for preorder now on the Covergirl website will be up for sale everywhere later this month. It will feature six polishes, 6 lipsticks in corresponding colors and 10 mascaras. The nail polishes are all named something catchy and fitting for the universe like Speed of Light and Nuclear. The lipsticks less exciting in name with just the color name to go by BUT having this amazing metallic element to each shade. Both reminiscent of the 90's and totally futuristic all at once. (Or if you're like me that made you think of the 5th Element... hello nostalgia!)

The mascaras are technically only two formulas, their super sizer mascara in regular or waterproof. But they will come with an assortment of catch phrases from the franchise like, “Luminous beings are we.” or “Immune to the light.” Each the dark and the light side of the force get five quotes so simply from a collecting standpoint epic!

While the exact date they will be available in all stores still hasn't dropped I would keep my eye out for these because other limited edition collections like this have been hard to find, im talking to you Hunger Games. For anyone looking for more information you check out these links...

July Favorites!

Oh it is that time of the month! The time where we lament the passing of the year, claim we dont know where all the time is going and then put on a very happy smile and share what we have simply been loving this month. But no seriously, where has the time gone??

Ok now i did branch out just a bit this month, and not just included my best in beauty, but also some things i have been loving, tv, books, movies and blogs wise. And i say we just right on into the goodies!

My Makeup favorites this month have really reflected the weather. With a couple of east coast heatwaves here in the U.S. its been hard to wear makeup for fear of it melting off. Because of that i have been keeping it very light and most days very natural.

* Little Mix by Collection full on mascara - Perries Lengthening Black Mascara

Other Bits and Bobs-
I have been loving recently a Beauty Blogger that i found on instagram, Danielle of IRLBeauty. Shes a Scottish blogger who has only ever been engaging and sweet when interacting on instagram and her blog is now one of my favorites to check out when im in a reading mood. She is completely worth the read people and i will link her below. Another massive fav for me this month has been Who You Are by Jessie J. I might be completely late to fangirling over her but im obsessed/in love, and cant wait to hear more from her. Special attention should be paid to Do it like a dude as well as Whos laughing now.... my two favorite songs this month. And finally with the released of the new Fifty Shades of Grey trailer this last week i have been devouring this book for a second time (Dont judge me, its an only mildly guilty pleasure) and im not going to lie, im loving every minute of it!

TV-
For me this summer has been half falling for characters iver loved for years and half finding new characters to fan girl over. Ones i have done marathons for this month are The walking dead (Thank you AMC and your 4th of july marathon)as well as Once Upon a Time, Captain Swan anyone? The two new amazing bits added into my life have been Orphan Black, I now have a huge crush on Tatiana Maslany, but most recently Hemlock Grove which really just sucks you in and i cant wait to power through this second season the way i did the first!

What have been some things you guys have been loving this month??

Saturday staples? Mini haul!

This week was a rough one, very stressful for me personally and so I only wore makeup one day out of the 7, being extra tired can have that effect. So instead of the standard Saturday staples I thought I would share with you a few things I picked up at walmart today, all things that I have been aching to try (or in the case of the lipstick a color I have been searching for.

Now the new Covergirl line i have been soooo excited to try and since i cant find my Dior pressed powder i was in need of a new one. Since I know my number (115) i snagged this right away and from first swatch i think its going to be a love. Its my perfect match and will help keep my BB and CC creams firmly set, especially around my chin, which is where i have some small scaring and hyper pigmentation. Fingers crossed it works as good as it did today!

Next is the L'oreal Glossy Balm in Ginger candy. It is the PERFECT peachy nude for my duel tones lips (Again i have hyper pigmentation) It softens the overall look of my lips and doesnt need any liner or lipstick and looks totally natural. I cant wait to pick up some more of these!

Lastly is a Wet & Wild lipstick in Cherry picking. I absolutely love these lipsticks and this color is one i have been looking for a while and havent found yet, well until today. It is such a beautiful shade and i really cant wait to top this with a little Nyx butter gloss and test its staying power.

Have you beauties tried anything new lately you are super excited for?

Saturday Staples!

Instead of the average Friday favorites here we are gonna have a little thing called Saturday Staples! The thing through the week that i couldn't live without, loved, or in the case of this week have just found and are quickly becoming holy grail status!

Now this week i didnt have a huge list, i only wore a full face of makeup twice, the other days it was very low key, lippy and that was pretty much it. BUT this week i had some solid loves which i will list below.

* Cover Girl Flamed out water proof mascara ~ Very Black Blaze

* Physicians Formula Super CC+ ~ Light/Medium

* NYX Eyebrow cake powder ~ Taupe/Ash

* Nyx Chunky Dunk ~ Orange Splash

* Cillection Little Mix Lipstick ~ Perrie

With Honorable Mentions to My makeup bag from this Junes Ipsy. Its the everyday, change out the products to take on the go for the day bag and the print is adorable. Also playing on a loop this week has been Ed Sheerans new album Multiply.... its so worth the buy, you have to listen to every song, its even better then his first album! All of these actually are very worth the try, and id be happy to do more in depth reviews for anyone who'd like to see more.

And remember to have a happy Saturday!
