Summer Favorites!

Since the official start of Fall is a few days away, here are some of the things I have been loving this past summer. 

BEAUTY

Buxom Lip Gloss Set Nudes & Brights 

                                                          

Love these glosses!   I got one in a ipsy bag and I was hooked. These are not the tingling ones (like the one I received in the glam bag) and while I did miss it at first I still love the formula. Its feels really good on the lips, not sticky at all. Plus they smell good too. I tend to reach for the nude colors more often but the brights are so pretty, that I am glad to have them in the set. Another thing I love is the size. Perfect to throw in your bag when your out and about.                                                                                                                                                                     

   OGX Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo & Conditioner 

                                                

I had these stashed away because I got them when there was good sale, but was using other shampoos and conditioners. I decided it was time to use them and now I remember how much I like them. Great smell which lingers in your hair. I wanna try the tea tree mint ones next.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                      Garnier Clean + Purifying Foam Cleanser For Combination Skin 

Funny story about this product. Its not your normal pump. To get the product out you have to squeeze the bottle. So I had fallen asleep on the couch and when I woke up I was like uh I should wash my face before going back to sleep. Its like 1 am, I am half asleep and I decide to use this face wash for the first time. So there I am trying to open this bottle, and I am struggling and struggling. Thinking I got a broken bottle.  Well I finally realize that it says to squeeze. Ah ha! Anyway I actually really like this cleanser. I like that its foam. It smells pretty good. It has been doing a decent job keeping my face clear considering I have pretty much abandoned my skin care routine (this summer) except for washing my face. I will most likely be repurchasing this. 

                                               OTHERS


TV Show: Psych My bf got me hooked on this show. It is pretty funny. The show is about a guy named Sean who pretends to be psychic (he is just very observant). He helps the police solve crimes. His best friend Gus helps him on cases and they run their own agency. The two actors who play Sean and Gus have great I guess you could say friend chemistry and are hilarious together. I am on the third season currently. All the seasons with the exception of the last one are on Netflix. 
Movie: The Guardians Of The Galaxy Such a good movie. The kind of movie you wanna see again, in the theater. Even if your not into comic book/super hero movies I still think you would like this movie. Plus its funny.                                                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                Book: If I Stay

                    I am doing a whole review post for this book, so click here to read it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Drink: Ginger Ale 

                                                                               

I have been kinda addicted to ginger ale this summer. Maybe its comfort thing as I have been recovering.

Drink # 2: Watermelon Coolatta from Dunkin Doughnuts

 I tried this one day randomly and I got hooked. Its a very light watermelon taste. Very refreshing, perfect for summer.  

                                                                        
                                             Clothing/Accessories Item: My Roxy Shoes

I guess they are kinda like a cheaper version of Toms. Super comfortable. I have been rocking them all summer.

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Post

Rules:

1. Thank the tagger and link them in the post.

2. State that this tag was created by The Beau Bow.

3. Copy and paste the rules.
4. Tag some more beauty bloggers and link them to the post.

5. Title this The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Post so readers know what the post is about.

6. Have fun!

Thank you Liz(lizlovesmakeupx3)  for tagging me!
1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do.
 I rarely do much with my eyebrows. I only recently started using clear gel.  I do try to maintain them with tweezing but I haven't had them waxed in years. I also don't do much with my hair besides the basics (washing and brushing). I do want to try curling it though. Maybe do that every so often.  
2. Is washing your make-up brushes something you do regularly?
No and everyday I always think I gotta wash my brushes. I actually did last Friday though, very much overdue.
3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?
Since I started working two jobs, longer than I would like (I typed this with chipped nail polish).  When it gets really bad though I will just take the polish off and if I am to tired to do them I will sometimes go awhile with no polish on (as I am right now). 
4. How long do you put off buying/ replacing a beauty or nail polish product, even if you need it? (e.g. purchasing a new top coat or foundation)
Most of the time I buy a new one before I run out. 
5. What is your worst beauty habit?
Not washing my face on days when  I don't go out and I am just hanging around the house. I have gotten better about washing my face before bed (and taking my makeup off).
6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off all the time.    
Cleaning my bathtub/shower. Its not super dirty but it could use a good cleaning. There is so much effect involved which includes getting in the tub and getting wet. I have started using a daily shower spray which you just spray on after your shower and leave, and that seems to help a bit. 
7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to last minute or not?
 I usually don't wait till the last minute to get ready, especially if I am wearing makeup.
8. Can you commit to a spending ban?
I am more careful now with spending my money but I don't know if I can do a actual spending ban. I have thought about it though.
9. How organised is your make-up and nail polish collection?
I think they are pretty organised. It works for me so that is the main thing.
10. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without writing a blog post?
To long. Finding it hard to find the time and energy since I started working two jobs.

I don't know anyone to tag, so I will just tag everyone.  If you do this tag let me know in the comments.

Happy 2013!

Hello everyone! I know its been awhile but as I expected December was crazy with work. Now that it is January I am going to have a lot more time to blog. I am hoping to (some weeks may be more and some may be less) post twice a week. Most likely Mondays and Thursdays.

I want to mention a new Page I am going to have on this blog. It is called Amber's Bookshelf. I will explain about the challenge I have set for myself on the page. But basically I am going to keep track of all the books I read (start to finish) in 2013. I also will then link any of them that I do reviews for.

I am also excited to have joined ipsy (MyGlam) for the this year. A birthday present from my mom (thanks mom!). I can't wait to do what's in my ______ glam bag and review posts. Speaking of my birthday, look for a post all about how I celebrated and what I wore for my birthday dinner with my bf in the next week or so.

 Happy New Year everyone!!

Till next time,
 Amber
