August Favorites | August Loves | Last of Summer Loves | End of Summer Loves

 

Without further fuss or delay, here are the stuff I loved in August. Also, mainly just a chronicle diary of what happened the whole month. I'm working on getting my book reviews done too. I think I'll have four or five that I'll probably have up in either October or November ♡♡♡

Top Spiffy Stuff that I enjoyed in the hot month of August are:

x Picking up my old 3DS XL to play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness 

x Early Halloween October socks: Pumpkins are my fav

x Artemis Palette (Metropolis Dupe) 

_____________

#beauty

x Made an order for my first holographic nail polish, confetti strips polish topper, and four glowy blushes :D Stuff that’s been missing from my collection. 

x Elf blush and highlight duo $3 in Spiced Apple (It is the perfect peachy brown)

x Elf Srsly Satin in Nectar 

x Kiko Milano single shadow in 209 (Champagne)

x Elf Runway Ready Lip Palette (Got it as a free gift along with the Elf hand sanitizers)

x ILNP in the shade Chelsea (First purchase and I love it :3 It’s a pretty holographic rose gold color)

x Sally Hansen Mixture Perfect (Confetti nail polish)

x New hair clips (pink, black, and white)

x Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Stone (Packaging looks like KKW without the price tag) 

x No crimp clips (in black, pink, and white)

x Masks paired with simple summer dresses is such a look plus the mask makes your eye make up pop even more and gives you this cool alluring vibe (not romanticizing the pandemic at all, just one of the good things of 2020 that I noticed while running errands)

x Artemis Palette by Alter Ego (I can’t believe their headquarters is in my city. It’s so awesome :D Fallen in love head over heels with this palette’s color story)

 

#humor 

x Anna Akana’s video ft. Julie Nolke  as God was so funny! I love it! 

x Anna Akana How to Date: Pandemic Edition | The stuff about serial killers was too funny and relatable. So true. Women prepare to go on dates hoping they won’t get murdered. And it’s no different from the pandemic - only this time you die from the virus 

#creators

x Booktuber Leonie (The Book Leo) I can’t get over how pretty she is!!! And she’s so funny too!
