MONTHLY FAVORITES: February 2013
posted: 10:19 PM | comments: 0
I've been watching videos of monthly favorites on Youtube and read some of my friends' blog posts about the same topic which got my hands itched on doing one too. So here I am with my first monthly favorites blog post!
BEAUTY
I do not have a lot of beauty products for I do not apply any make-up on very often or take care of my skin properly. D: So I shall talk about other products that I used which also fall in the beauty category.
First up is a deodorant by Rexona. You are supposed to shake the product before use and spray it six inches from your underarms directly on the skin and hold it for 2 seconds. It claims that it provides 24 hours of protection from sweaty arms. Personally, I am not very sure about the 24 hours protection, because I normally use it when I go to air-conditioned places. But what I like about this deodorant has a nice scent which I don't know how to describe. Have I mentioned before that I love products which gives my body a nice scent? Most of the time, I use it more for its scent than its purpose so yah lol.
Advice: Do not spray for more than 2 seconds. The smell gets a tad bit strong when you do so.
Next is this lip balm which was a birthday present from Chui See. Do note that my lips are not very dry but it does get dry if I do not keep myself hydrated all the time. Hence, I seldom use my old lip balm which my mom bought it for me because: 1. My lips do not get dry easily. Even if it does, it doesn't look that bad. 2. I was lazy to carry it around with me all the time. 3. I was lazy to apply it hahaha.
But I've been constantly applying this lip balm from Body Shop almost everyday! Truth be told, it's mostly because of its super sweet and pleasant smell which I love so much. The flavor is called Cranberry Joy which smells like bubblegum. Fruity flavored bubblegum. I kept applying it on my lips once I got it which sort of annoyed my friends hahaha. Someone told me that I should only apply it twice a day, but Google says that the average woman uses lip balm is anywhere from 2-30 times a day. I guess I fall in the 31-times-a-day category! xD In terms of moisture, it does keep my lips moisturized and it doesn't feel oily (which is good).
My favorite clothing will definitely be my cropped grey sweater from H&M! I purchased it last month and I've been loving it! I wore it out for quite a number of times already. It is really comfortable. The material of the fabric used is a little thin but it is not see-through, so I do not have to worry about dressing too inappropriate.
Oxford shoes from Jusco hahaha like seriously. Ok la, it is not a Jusco brand but from a brand called VKI which sells their shoes in Jusco. If I am not mistaken, it is made out of suede. This is currently my favorite pair of shoes because mainly it is easy to match since it is brown in colour! I had been eyeing on this pair of shoes for quite some time and I finally got my hands on them heheheh.
I am the type of person who doesn't read books very often and if I do, it simply means that the book is one good book! (Disclaimer: I'm not trying to offend anyone or any author.) The book which I got hooked with is The Fault In Our Stars by John Green!
All thanks to Woo Xin Yue who made me borrow this book even when I said I didn't want to read it lol. I finished this book in 2 days btw. #2013achievements
TFIOS is about a love story where two cancerous patients fall in love with each other. The plot is really interesting and it's one of those plots which makes you come back for more. #bookspluspoints Most books that I read get a tad boring in between which discourages me to continue reading. Lazy people like me will understand lololol.
Those who claim they are lazy, please get to this book!
YOUTUBE VIDEOS
Tried and Tested by Clicknetwork.tv! Discovered Tried and Tested in the month of January and I've been addicted to watching this since then. Tried and Tested is hosted by Shu An who tries different beauty products on the shelves which most girls would like to try yet are not willing to spend their money on them since they're uncertain about the results. She gives comments and rates each product after she tried them. Although I do not apply make-up on as I mentioned earlier or the other beauty products, I do enjoy watching her videos because Shu An is really funny and witty! Plus, I do get to learn some things before applying make-up in the future (chewah).
After all, there is nothing wrong about gaining more knowledge right? ;)
Another Youtuber whom I've been following is Michelle Phan. Most girls would have heard of her name before. She makes videos about mostly girly stuffs ranging from beauty to fashion to nails and to skincare. Moreover, she has a cool accent which somewhat makes it soothing lol does this even makes any sense.
SONGS
Don't You Worry Child by SHM. Yes I know, this song is pretty old already but I still enjoy listening to it. I enjoy techno music and it is very addictive.
Cornerstone by Hillsong. Fyi, it is a Christian song which I do enjoy listening a lot. There's just something about Christian songs where you don't get bored of them eventhough you've listened to them for a million times. I especially love the part where the electric guitar goes solo from 4:41-5:03! So so lovely! I'm starting to find interests in electric guitars. If someone ever makes a cover for me with an electric guitar, I will love you forever!!! Ok jk but seriously.
Polka dot pouch from Typo which I bought it from Woo lol. Have you came across this issue where you are heading out for a short period and all you want to bring is your handphone and some cash and small items perhaps but you do not want to carry a bag? A pouch solves it all! What I like this pouch is it's small and convenient to carry around. I've been bringing this pouch around especially when I go to church on Friday nights. It helps to keep my handphone and my cash so it's a 2 in 1 kind of thing.
Plus it's polka dot. It matches with any outfit hahaha.
So that concludes my February favourites. I'm sitting for my first term examination soon which I do not feel very nervous about. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
