Hello!
I can’t believe August is over! I don’t know if it’s just me, but I really think that older I get, faster the year goes by. It feels like I overslept the entire summer. But there have been things I loved using (and still will, I reckon), so I’ve just came up with this list.
OPI nail polish in colour Humidi – Tea
In the beginning of the month, I already spent one week at the sea side and was happily looking forward spending there two more weeks. You know, lying on the beach, reading loads of books and of course, relaxing – that leaded to not biting my nails. And if you are now thinking: “What has that to do with a nail polish?!”, I have to inform you, I bite my nails all the time. They just don’t want to grow! (andd I think this is a massive TMI – sorry guys!) Yet I didn’t settle for all those bright pinks, reds and other summer colours, I was much more into pretty nudes. And that’s what this nail polish is – a pretty brownishy pink nude with just a sprinkle of glitter. Perfect for the summer and, if I’m honest, for all year round, really. Loving it!
HAWAIIAN Tropic Silk Hydration After Sun
Yes, I’ve been lying on the beach all days and yes, I may have forgotten to put any sun protection on. So my skin was a bit reddish at one part, and this gel (which includes Aloe), helped me a lot. I just spread it all over my body and let it to do its job and I can say it’s a really good moisturiser. Plus it smells amazing!
Calvin Klein Delicious Truth lipstick in 216 Socialite
We’re still at the sea side. Because we tend to dress up at night – we go on a dinner, or just drinks, and you want to look prettier with all the make up, the tan and in a little summer dress. And since I don’t really like any strong-coloured lipsticks (I think my lips are just the weirdest shape – again, TMI!), this one has been the perfect in between those strictly-business nudes and classic reds. It’s a juicy, glossy (almost nude) pink with some glitter, but it isn’t too shiny.
Ted Baker Dover in-ear headphones
Those two weeks passed by in a blink of an eye and before I knew it, we were travelling back home. Listening to music during the ride back is a habit of mine – looking through a window, pretending to be in some kind of music video while listening the newest hits. And since I wasn’t travelling alone, which means I was surrounded with voices, those headphones really made the journey back slightly more pleasant. They managed to stay in even while I was asleep, and I also couldn’t hear a single thing, no matter how loud the people next to me were. And they look so glam, all white with dusty gold details.
One Direction – Spaces (2014, album Four)
I can’t say I’m a Directioner since I didn’t particularly like their music, but recently I watched This Is Us (which is their movie btw) and heard many songs that aren’t really that popular – well, are less popular than the ones you can hear on the radio all the time. I went to YouTube and realised they have pretty good music, not just those boybandish summer hits. Spaces is one of those discoveries, the lyrics are beautiful. I’ve also come across Once In a Lifetime, Infinity, Fool’s Gold and cover of one of my all-time favourite songs, from their X Factor days, Chasing Cars.
Here you go, my favourite things of August. I hope you are having great time, no matter where you are. Remember to enjoy those days before hard schoolwork starts piling again 🙂
