June Favorites

The first week of July was extremely busy for me with the fourth being smack in the middle of the week. I completely forgot to do my monthly favorites. So here they are, my June favorites.

1. Face Stockholm Nail Polish in Neon Sunset: I've been searching for the perfect neon nail polish for quite some time now. I really like the American Apparel neon collection but when I stumbled across this nail polish in J Crew, I was beyond excited. It's the most gorgeous shade of neon pink. It goes on so nicely and stays for a really long time. 

2. The Lumineers- Ho Hey: You know when you're watching television and a commercial comes on and the song just sticks with you? I first heard this song on the Bing "Discovering Hawaii" commercial and could not get it out of my head. It's such a sweet song. 

3. Mirror Mirror: I am one of those girls that loves all things fairytale. (Maybe that's all girls.) Snow White is one of my favorites so I was really excited to see Mirror Mirror. I didn't get a chance to see it in theaters but it recently came out on DVD and I loved it! It was so cute and fun. I probably watched it give times already. 

4. Anthropologie Viscid Watch in Sky: In love with this watch. I usually wear my Michael Kors watch every day but I wanted a colorful alternative for summer. I saw this watch on the Anthropologie website and of course it was backordered for months and sold out in the store in my mall. By some miracle they had one left in another store so I ran over there and bought it as a birthday present to myself. I've gotten so many compliments on it. 

5. Nars Pro Prime Multi-Protect Primer: I used to be one of those people that didn't believe in primers. I usually just put on my moisturizer and then my makeup on top of that and skipped the primer step. I got this over a year ago and used it maybe once but I recently began using it every day and it really does make a huge difference. It has a really nice texture. It's not too thick, goes on smooth and keeps my makeup in place all day. And bonus it has SPF 30!

6. Anthropologie Chevron Frame in Pink: I had been eyeing this frame for months but decided $30 was a little too much but then my friends bought it for me as part of my birthday present. I absolutely love it. 

7. Red Mango: I am a big fan of frozen yogurt. Everyone always talks about Red Mango and how amazing it is but I never had the chance to try it. There were no Red Mangos near me. Finally they opened one close to my house and now I see what all the hype is about! So many flavors and so many toppings! It was delicious. I have to say though, they tricked me. I was not aware that you payed by how much it weighed and with only one size cups, I filled it up as much as I could. It cost me $10!

8. Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip and Cheek Stain in Jive: A while ago I put a review up of the Korres Lip Butter Glaze I bought. I thought that was the best lip product I could find, until I discovered this one. Honestly, this one is so much better. It's a real lip stain, not just a glaze. The color stays on for hours and looks so natural. I am in love! I've been wearing it every day. I'm definitely going to be purchasing this in some of the other colors. 

May Favorites

It's time for my monthly favorites! These are the top 8 things that I loved in May, from beauty products to songs to movies. I hope you like! 

1. O.P.I. Nail Laquer in Pink Friday: I have been searching for Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday nail polish for months! Every time I went to Ulta or any other beauty supply store, it was sold out. I finally got my hands on it a couple of weeks ago and I am in love. I'm actually wearing it right now. It's the perfect shade of bubblegum pink.

2. Maroon 5- Payphone: Currently loving this song. I probably played this song over 100 times in my iTunes during May and prayed every time I got in the car that it would be on the radio.

3. Marvel's The Avengers: Marvel's The Avengers hit theaters in the beginning of May and I had to see it. My boyfriend and I have been waiting since Captain America for this movie to come out and it did not disappoint. It was funny and exciting and full of action. Definitely a must see for anyone who hasn't gotten a chance yet. 

4. Soap & Glory Hand Food: I did a product review on Hand Food in the middle of May but I had to include this in my monthly favorites. It's the perfect hand cream and keeps your hands soft, smooth and hydrated. And it smells amazing!

5. Bobbi Brown Longwear Gel Eyeliner: I had been eyeing this gel liner for a while but it's a bit pricy at $22. Finally I decided to purchase it and am in love. I don't generally like to wear eyeliner in the summer because it gets a hot and humid and I usually end up looking like a raccoon by the end of the night, but Bobbi Brown was not kidding when she called this "longwear". It does not smudge even after hours of wearing it. It's the perfect liner. 

6. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James: Fifty Shades of Grey has obviously been the talk of the town as of late as I'm sure most of you have noticed. It's racy and provocative while still remaining a great love story. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet. I absolutely loved all three of the books and am crossing my fingers, hoping that she decides to write another one.

7. Stop & Shop Dinosaur Snacks: Silly, I know, but I could eat a whole box of this Dinosaur Fruit Snacks in one sitting. So delicious. I really need to start eating healthier but I had to share these with you cause they are my favorite. I even pack them in my suitcase when I go to Myrtle Beach because they only sell them at Stop and Shop! 

8. J. Crew Garment-Dyed Ankle Zip Toothpick Jean in Neon Rose: I am a major fan of colored jeans. I think I have about 5 or 6 pairs now. I don't even like real jeans anymore. These might be my favorite purchase though. They're the perfect pop of color for summer and super comfortable. I love the zipper on the ankle too. 

The Hunger Games

Tonight is the night! Well tomorrow really... I have been anticipating this day for months! The Hunger Games comes out at midnight. If you haven't read The Hunger Games trilogy then you must live under a rock. The Hunger Games is about a sixteen year old girl, Katniss, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in which every year, the Capitol chooses two kids from each of the twelve districts surrounding it to fight in an arena where only one can survive. Sounds a little weird but I promise you, you will not be disappointed if you read this book. I have been trying so hard not to watch any trailers except for the main one that they air on television. I want to be surprised even though I obviously already know what's going to happen. Sadly I will not be seeing the movie at midnight like I had planned but I will be seeing it over the weekend. I can't wait! I hope you all go see it and let me know how you like it! 

P.S. How awesome is this typographic poster I found of a quote from the movie. "May the odds be ever in your favor." I just thought it was so clever.
