I decided to make a random post because I've been pretty much disappeared for quite some time. I'm going to include my random favorites, my highlight for the past few weeks, and possibly a list of my mostly played tunes recently.
Oh and in case you were wondering; Whenever, Wherever. A song title by Bombay Bicycle Club. Just because I had no idea what to write. So why the heck not.
Favorites
1. Herbal Essences Drama Clean Shampoo
I was in a supermarket looking around the hair care section (like I always do) and this shampoo caught my eyes right away. I thought the packaging made it look really fresh and so I sniffed it. I fell in love with it and decided to purchase it because I was on the market for a clarifying shampoo to prevent buildup and stuff like that for me to use every once a week, and then I can use my regular shampoo every other day.
First of all, this smells like gummy bears. Yes, gummy bears. At first it smelled fresh,but then after awhile I realised, uh, this thing smells exactly like gummy bears. Which is awesome. Now on to the shampoo: Yes, it does dry out my hair an I was fully aware of that since this is a clarifying shampoo anyway, but it cleans my hair really, really well. It leaves my hair ultra light and smelling like gummy bears the whole day. But because it does dry my hair out, I always use this shampoo in conjunction with a deep conditioning mask and it works just fine.
2. Original Source shower gel in vanilla raspberry
I don't tend to like sweet scents. I'm more fond of fresh scents, but this one in particular is (uh, can I say the word..) the bomb dot com. If you know that alpenliebe candy with white and red swirls on it, yeah, this smells exactly like that. I can't help but to sniff it all the time. If you like sweet scents.. This is the one. Seriously though.
3. Yankee Candle, "A child's Wish"
It's not a favorites post without including my favorite scent for my bedroom at the moment and instead of sweet, florally scents (the kind of scents I would usually go for), I decided to purchase something a little bit different this time. I sniffed this candle for the first time and there was no hesitation to bring this baby home so I got it. Close your eyes and sniff this candle and it literally feels like you're walking on a fresh garden on a post-rainy morning kinda situation.
4. Avène Thermal Spring Water
I had always been hesitant whether to purchase this or not, since I heard a lot of people raving about this product, now I finally got it, and fell in love. It says that it soothes an irritated skin and it definitely does that. I have a lot of redness on my face especially my nose and it just wouldn't disappear for some reason. I just spray this thermal spring water on my face after I cleanse my face, and I noticed a significant difference ever since I started using this. The redness on my nose has mostly bona. Believe me when I say this isn't just water in a can, ha.
5. NYX round lipstick, LSS529 "Thalia"
Okay so I'm not really a lipstick person, but I just recently noticed that the darker the shade is, the better that color suits me, in my opinion.
So one time I was wearing my friend's mauve-y nail polish and I thought that it would be an awesome lip color. Finally I went to a NYX counter at Debenhams just because NYX has a wide variety of awesome lip color shades. I found the perfect, perfect maybe color that I was looking for and I obviously decided to get it. I also love the creamy texture which is awesome because it doesn't dry out my lips. Love love love this shade.

Just a little update telling that I passed my French exam with quite a satisfying score :D
I had to say it, because I honestly kinda gave up when I was done with the test, because it was a heck of a hard test let me tell ya. I thought I wasn't going to pass, but I did anyway. And I'm so so happy and surprised of what I was capable of, I know anyone can pass exams like that, but hey, it's the little things that keep me happy. That's all I gotta say.
