Wow! It feels like I just did one of these posts, haha! November flew by super fast! I just can’t believe it’s December tomorrow. Well here we go, these are my favorites/haul items for the month of November.
Beauty
Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara: I have been using this mascara for awhile now and I absolutely LOVE it. It really does what it says it does. Every time I apply it to my lashes, I get little to no clumps. It lasts what seems like forever on your lashes. I believe it comes in 3 shades, but I could be wrong.
Covergirl Bombshell Volume Mascara: I just used this for the first time the other day, so I don’t know how much of a review I can give you at the moment. I will probably do a more thorough one later. What I can tell you is that it gives you the effect of fake lashes. So, if you’re new to fake lashes (like myself) or applying fake lashes freak you out (like myself), then this is the mascara for you. The packaging is pretty, but it is bulky because you are getting two different products in one.
Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black Rollerball Perfume: Oh my goodness! This perfume is so delicious smelling, sometimes I just can’t handle it. It has a vanilla undertone (I will buy anything that smells like vanilla, just love it!) and makes you kind of smell like a boy. Don’t worry though, it isn’t a very overpowering boy scent. I decided to get the rollerball because I wanted to try it out and now I might have to get a full size. The packaging is great and having a rollerball means I can take it with me wherever I go.
Clothing/Accessories
Merona Cotton Liners Socks (similar): I bought these when it was still acceptable to wear my TOMS outside. I needed some socks that I could not only wear with the TOMS, but also if I decided to wear any of my flats. I have tried socks before like these, but they always slipped off and bunched up. These are a perfect replacement. The have a rubber patch that sits on your heel so they don’t slip off. They also keep my toesies warm 🙂
Merona Chunky Knit Cardigan: I love cardigans and pretty much all of last year I was trying to find one that was long enough so I could wear it with leggings. Well, I found one but it was thinner and worked better for spring/summer/fall weather. I was shopping at Target with my mom one day and we came across this cardigan that was much thicker and works perfectly for the winter months. I decided to pass on it that day, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I eventually went back and bought it and boy am I glad I did. It is soo warm that if I wear a coat over it I literally am sweating two seconds later. Sorry, TMI? lol!
Room Essentials Soft, Printed Blanket: The purchase of this item is inspired by a Pointlessblog (Alfie Deyes) YouTube video where he bought a really soft blanket. I thought, “I really want a new soft blanket that fits on my bed.” So, I went to Target last week and found this one (pictured above). It is sooo soft! I love cuddling into bed with it 🙂
Merona Scarf (similar): I bought this scarf (pictured above) last week as well. I wanted a scarf that wasn’t knitted and found this one. Plus, it was on sale! It is so warm and is beautiful. It is all different kinds of blues and greens. Bonus, it can be used as a shawl as well. I just love it!
Books/Music/Entertainment
Username: Evie by Joe Sugg: I haven’t had a chance to read this yet, but when I do I will do a separate post.
Life with a Sprinkle of Glitter by Louise Pentland: I have had a chance to read this, but I am not finished yet. I will tell you that so far, I am loving it. Separate post to come 🙂
Binge! by Tyler Oakley: Again, I haven’t had a chance to read this one yet, but will do a separate post when I have.
Pixar’s Inside Out: I am a huge fan of Pixar movies and this one has been added to my favorites list. All the voice actors are perfectly chosen and the story line is great. It was hard for me to choose a favorite character, but I do love Disgust (although I don’t consider that an emotion), Joy, and Bing-Bong. Everytime I see Bing-Bong or hear somebody say it, all I hear is “Bing-Bong, Bing-Bong, Bing-Bong”, haha! What I love most is that Riley is from Minnesota, my home state.
Age of Adaline: I haven’t watched it yet, but I will watch anything with Blake Lively in it. I will do a separate post later.
25-Adele: I really like this album, but of course Adele puts out great music every single time 🙂 I don’t want to review this here, but I will do a separate review later.
Hilary Duff music: I was a big Lizzie Maguire fan and recently, I started listening to a Hilary Duff radio station on Apple Music. Boy did it bring me back! I don’t even know why I stopped listening to her music.
Blogs/Social Media
A Beautiful Mess blog: This blog is run by two sisters who post anything from arts and crafts to recipes.
Zoella blog and YouTube channels: I know I have mentioned her before in a favorites, but I think Zoe will forever be a favorite of mine. Her videos are great and I love reading her blog. She recently redid it and it looks beautiful. She does a lot of beauty reviews and is an avid baker so she will post all her creations.
Estee Lalonde blog and YouTube channels: Estee is a recent favorite YoutTber and blogger. Her blog usually consists of things she does in her videos, but is more condensed. I love watching her vlogs though, which includes at least one shot of her boyfriend and her dog (Aslan and Reggie, respectively). She is so hilarious and quirky. She kind of reminds me of myself and I think that’s why I like her so much.
Roman Atwood YouTube channel: Roman has two channels, a prank one and a vlog one, but I mainly watch his vlog channel. Basically, his vlogs are all about his family and the concept behind them is that he wants to be able to watch the videos back and remember what happened on certain days in their life. Every time I watch them, I get so many warm fuzzies 🙂
Food
Cadbury Fingers cookies: I love Cadbury chocolate (especially Dairy Milk bars) and so I wanted to try something a little different. These are definitely different! They are so delicious and still have that great creamy, melt-in-your-mouth taste, just in cookie form.
Random
feelunique.com: I absolutely love this site! It allows me to purchase products that I otherwise wouldn’t have access to. For instance, all the Zoella and Tanya Burr beauty products 🙂
PNY Powerpack Portable Charger (similar): This thing is a lifesaver! I have had to use it so many times since I bought it. It’s great for traveling in the car or really anywhere where there isn’t a lot of access to plugs or places to charge your electronic devices.
I hope you enjoyed reading about my favorites/haul items. Let me know if you try any of them out.
