October Favorites

So this year has almost come to an end and we haven't got any confirmation on The End of the World yet. As a result, people are still going to school, going to work, going home, doing stupid shits and going to bed. Such a depressing cycle, I know, but that's how it is. And these are the my favorite stupid shits to do during the last month.

(This is gonna be a short entry because my head is still throbbing, but I need to distract myself.)

First of all, my favorite haircare product of the month is this new shampoo that just started using for three weeks now

The biggest problems I have with my hair are dry ends and the oil. I used to have a lot of problems with choosing shampoo because the ones that can help repair my dry ends leave my hair extra moisturized and oily, while the ones that don't weigh my hair down also don't help with my dry ends at all. This baby can do both! It makes my hair become so soft and smooth, doesn't weigh my hair down at all and it smells so fresh. I'm so glad I picked this one up in Guardian last month when I ran out of my old shampoo.

Next up is my favorite make-up item of the month.

I haven't got a new powder for a very long time and this one was actually on my wishlist for a while before I could buy it. It's definitely worth the wait. It helps prevent shine on my face because I have combination/oily skin. It can get a little bit cakey if I apply too much, but nonetheless it helps my skin look nice and matte during the day. This is now a must-have item in my bag wherever I go.

My fashion favorite of October is a scarf!

I was never into scarves before, mostly because the weather here doesn't go well with scarves most of the time. But recently, for some reason, I totally fell in love with the fall/autumn fashion style (even though Sai Gon doesn't have fall/autumn, I know!) and leopard printed items are so in this season. This scarf is my favorite because it just goes so well with a lot of things and it spices up the outfit and makes you look comfy and cute in a second! Admittedly it is not very practical for me to wear it everyday, but now that I got a cold, and my office has the air-con on all day, I can justify myself!

Next I want to talk about my favorite app of the month, and it is this baby right here

This game has the cutest introduction! It talks about this little bird who was born with a tiny pair of wings and therefore cannot fly. But you can help him by taking him through valleys and hills and he can jump so high and so far it is almost like he can fly! And it is a simple enough game that you can get a grasp of after five seconds. But to master it is another thing. It takes a lot of calculation and experience to help the bird jump higher and farther and achieves great slides and get into fever mood. Overall it is such a fun game with very cute visuals and you just find yourself coming back to it again and again.

My favorite movie of the month is On the road and you can find my review of this movie on my wordpress page.

And last but not least, my favorite songs of the month -- these are not news songs, I've had them for ages and I'm sure most of you have heard them already. But this month I re-discovered a lot of old favorite songs that somehow wore on a new meaning for me, and they are

The A-Team - Ed Sheeran
Blue Velvet - Lana Del Rey
Come Back When You Can - Barcelona
Mary Jo - Belle & Sebastian

And that completes my October Favorites, which is such great timing because my headache has gotten so bad and my nose is running and I really need to go to sleep or something. So, I hope this entry has been helpful and/or enjoyable to you, please have a good day or night wherever you are!

September Favorites

As a result of watching too many beauty videos on Youtube, I have now decided to do Favorite of the Month entries on my blog, which basically is where I show what I have bought and used and loved during the previous month. Yay!

Firstly I'm gonna talk about make-up, because hello, this thing comes from the beauty gurus community on Youtube! Gotta show some respect, yeah?

So this month I've been loving this Lioele's Lip Color Stick. It's a berry pink color and it feels really good on the lips, moisturizing and stays on a fair amount of time as long as I don't eat. I love it so much sometimes I only put on foundation and this thing on the lips with nothing else!

Another Lioele's product that I bought a few months ago but still love to death is this Lioele's Blooming Gloss. It's a shimmery sheer pink lipgloss that smells and tastes so good! This lipgloss has been staying in whatever bag I carry around with me during the past month because I need it all the time! I'm pretty sure I've never loved a lipgloss as much as I love this product. And it's very affordable too. Do give it a try if you're looking for a nice lipgloss.

On nail polishes, my favorite this month is Essie's Armed and Ready, which is a deep grey green color with a gold shimmer. It looks really pretty on the nails and I'm wearing it on my nails right now.

Another nail thing is this topcoat by The Face Shop and I swear, this thing saved my life! It makes my painted nails dry in like five minutes, which saves me from a lot of frustration because of my nails being ruined when I have to do something after painting my nails. Love it!

Accessories wise, this month I reinvented my love for this tiara ring, which is a gift from one of my cousins long ago. And the bracelet is one of my birthday presents from Py, which looks so good when I wear it together with my watch!

Then my favorite purchase of the month has to be my Kindle! I love this thing to death!!! It's been stuck to my hands pretty much since I bought it and I'm so happy with it. Also I named it Jackson muahahaha~

My favorite book of September is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

I don't even know how to begin to explain what it's about and why I love it. Just, if you want to read it, prepare yourself to cry a lot while having your heart ripped out and thrown on the floor and stomped on over and over again. You can read my review of this book on Goodreads.

And finally, my favorite app of the month is this fucker right here

I think it's also available for Android, but I'm not sure. It's a tower defense game called Fieldrunners where you have to stop the enemy from entering your tower by killing them, one by one, some of them look and sound like little boys, but don't think too much about that...

My cousin introduced me to this game yesterday and I've been obsessed with it since! Like it's so addictive I cannot stop!!! If you have an iPhone or iPad check this out. It's really fun.

And that's the end of my first Favorite of the Month! I hope I can be blogging more regularly now that I'm done with school and still have two more weeks before work, but we'll see ( :
