Hey there my dears! Today i thought we could have a little chat about the things i have been loving for this past July. Now i know not a ton of makeup will be seen today but its just been too hot to layer much on my skin without the threat of breakouts. Summer and heat waves might just be the death of me! So here is a peak of the things i have been loving. For all that i can i will link you to where you can nab your own if something catches your eye.

The Favorites-
*Elizabeth Arden Good Nights Sleep Restoring Cream - Now sadly this one has been discontinued as all things i love tend to do, BUT they do have a substatute listed on their site that might be worth the try. As someone who suffers from very very dry skin though this product leavs me feeling soft and plump in the face after putting it on before bed. And a little goes a long way.
*Soft Matte Lip Cream - Abu Dhabi
*RIMMEL LONDON Professional Eyebrow Pencil - Dark Brown (My hair is black but black brows on my lighter complextion can look to jarring so the dark brown works well as a match between hair and skin)
* The Original Panama Jack Citrus Mint Lip Gloss - This is just a slap on and feel really good on the lips daily thing. Not much color payoff but feels nice if slightly sticky, and smells sooooooo good!
*AERIN Waterlily Sun - Now this little beauty smells fresh and clean and just all around amazing. Not sweet, no heavy floral or super candy sugary smell. The full size (Biggest size is only 50mil sadly) runs a whooping $110 but if you are willing to make that kind of perfume investment its worth a smell. Its one of those scents that links but fades enough to mix wth your own oils and just... its amazing. If you want a chaper alternative ive found it is similar to Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Rollerball
*Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 - This is my overnight lip treatment, and it can give a slight tint to the lips so its perfect for running around during the day as well. I have both Honey (Pictured) and the original untinted one (Not Pictured)
*Ribbon Hair Ties
*Avengers paperclip bookmarks - These were just so super cute when i ran across them on ebay i needed to have them. Of course my baby Thor is my favorite. They have minons and mickey mouse and tons of other options, they are really cute, small and handy.

Now i know this is cheating... kinda. But the new One Direction song Drag Me Down dropped on the last day of the month. But since i listened to it maybe 40 times in that first day its totally my final July favorite. You can listen to the boys belt it Here!

These are all of my loves for July. Anything that i have been missing out on thats a must have? Im always looking for new goodies to play with! I hope everyones week is starting off on the right foot!

3 Things I learned from 50 Shades of Grey

(Note: This is probably slightly NSFW, just based on the title and some key words that will be used below)

Hey there turtle doves! I hope everyone has been having a lovely week. I started mine off with a bang, pun fully intended. This past Monday i went to see Fifty Shades of Grey, in the awkwardly hilarious company of my mom and cousin. Suffice it to say we had a good time, who doesnt want to learn what genital clamps are with their mother? And my cousin was great for pointing out something silly whenever the panting got to heavy in our ears. But walking away from the theater, joking and debating the points of the movie i took away three main points, things that stuck with me even after the sounds of gasps faded from my memory.

1) I might not ever miss anything as much as i miss flip phones! Ok this might seem trivial but if you were in my theater then you heard my cousin rather loudly wondering why he could get her a new car and laptop but she was still trying to text with only 12 buttons. It brought back not only the nostalgia of being the fastest T9 texter ever, but the satisfying and resounding snapping close of a phone at the end of an angry phone call. Seeing Ana rocking her flip phone without a care in the world took me back to 2004 and i frankly miss them loads.

2) The Weekend deserves top listing on my ipods most played songs. So i have in fact always been a sucker for movie soundtracks, they got me with all 4 Twilight soundtracks and that was when i still got actual CD's too. I have three Hunger games album's on my itunes right now and when i saw that this film had one knowing Beyonce and Ellie Goulding were on it i grabbed it. But it hasnt been the pop Divas that had totally been my obsession, its The Weekend. Hearing both of his songs in the theater totally did things for me and since coming home ive listened to Earned Ot more times then i would care to admit.

3) Jamie Dornan is bea! Now when i first met him he wasnt the playboy billion in Fifty Shades but Sheriff Graham Humbert on Once Upon a Time. I loved him, i still hate how he left my show and might never get over the loss of the relationship i thought would be all and end all. (I am however a die hard Captain Swan shipper just FYI) But beyond that one show i hadnt really seen him in much. He was cute, and while i had originally been SO excited to see Charlie Hunnam as Christian i was willing to give Jamie a chance. Now that i have seen him though i am obsessed! So much so ive started watching him on The Fall. I wont list spoilers here but its on Netflix and its amazing. Its safe to say Jamie Dornan is a gifted actor and i cant wait to see him in more projects in the future.

Have you seen the film yet? How about read the books? Anything you found shocking or learned form the experience?

September Favorites!!!

Hello there turtle doves! September is one of the busiest months of the year and for good reason. With the season changing and summer ending it proves to be busy, people especially kids or those with kids have to get back into the swing of things and it can be a stressful time. Being one of those people with kids its been an adjustment period for me. But though that has prevented me from post my Saturday staples this last month is hasnt prevented me from using and loving things and thats what i am here to share with you lot today. Here is everything, in beauty, entertainment and life that i have been loving this month.

Makeup wise i havent been going crazy with trying new things though i do have alot on the way i cant wait to use! But this has been the most reached for lately and current in my everyday makeup bag.

Beauty aside i have been loving Netflix this month when i cant sleep (I may have binged watched Greys Anatomy super hard) And i caught up on my obsession from the month Outlander! I caught up just before the mid season finale and im so in love. I actually got the books on my Kindle just so i didnt have to wait to see what happened to Jamie and Claire. So im also currently reading Dragonfly In Amber and the feels are strong!

As for the music i have been loving lets be real it was all about one direction this month! And while Fireproof came out first i still dont know all those words. But Steal My Girl i have on a loop and im not the least bit sorry.
