September Favorites 2012

Hey Girls!
Last month, I didn't do an August Favorites because I didn't have much to share. However, this month I do have a few. There's only two makeup  products.:)

1. Korres Lip Butter 'Quince': This is a very moisturizing lip butter and I love it. It smells/taste good and I really like the color. I wanted a lip balm/butter with just a little bit of tint, and this is perfect!
 
2. Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Sin': The only reason I'm including this is my favorites is because I hit pan on it! Anyways, I have a review here if you want to check it out.
Macadamia Deep Repair Masque: I've been hearing a bunch of people talking about this, and it really is great! I might be doing a review on this in the future.
 
3. Soap & Glory's Glad Hair Day Shampoo: I am planning on  review for this product, but for now, it's a really great product and the smell lasts longer than my regular shampoos.
 
4. Carried Away Body Butter (B&BW): This scent reminds me a lot of Sweet Pea but it has a little more of a sour-sweet twist-which I think is the raspberry, but I really like, and I also really love Bath and Body Works' body butters.
 
5. Conair Curling Iron: I normally never curl my hair because I knew how to do it, but I wasn't good at actually curling my hair. I went over my friend's house one day and she curled my hair using the Conair curling iron and I really liked it. I have a 1 1/4 curling iron, so the barrel is a whole inch bigger, and I tried that out too and I liked it as well!
 
Other favorites!!

1. Cheerios!! I'm going to go get some more now, but they're soo yummy!
2. The Hunger Games Movie: This will always be a favorite, but I watched it so many times this month and in August, and guess what?! I can almost remember all the lines!! (Obsessed much?? Sorry!! LOL)
3. Sims 2: Normally I switch off between that and Minecraft, but the computer got fried and I lost every sim family I made and houses I created and-*sigh*. Let's just keep it at that I've been using Sims 2 more than Minecraft.
4. Sleep.... I can never get enough, well I can but-I'll just be quiet. (That's kinda ironic because I'm technically quiet because I'm typing, but you know.. I guess)
5. Unwind by Neal Shusterman has been my favorite book this month! I actually read a lot this month, but I liked it the most.

Hope you guys enjoyed! If you did a Favorites blog post, link in the comments-I'll check it out! -Kait

My Top 5 Favorite Makeup Products and Books

Hey Everyone!
I really wanted to a book post today, but I have been doing those more than usual lately, so I decided to combine it with a beauty post too. Today I will be sharing you my 5 favorite makeup products and my 5 favorite books!

Makeup:
~Urban Decay Naked2 Palette
    This palette has 12 eye shadows, and you can create so many looks with it. Here's my review.

~Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin
    I also have a review on this eyeshadow which you can check out here. (Which by the way, I hit pan on!)

~Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
    Ok, sorry for all the Urban Decay, but this is honest. Anyways, this eye primer really keeps your eyeshadow on all day long and I don't know what I would do without it!

~Revlon Lip Butters
    These are amazing. They are very well pigmented and moisturizing too.

~MAC Sheertone Blush in Pinch O' Peach
    First of all, the color of this blush is really pretty. It's your everyday average hot pink (but it's not that bright, if you keep reading you'll know why) with some peachy undertones. It's also matte. But the thing I love most about this blush is that it's a Sheertone Blush. You can build up the color so easily and well that you can go from looking like you have a little to no blush on and then to your cheeks are the main focus.... if that makes sense. :)

Books:
~The Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins
    I'm not going to say much because I can make this post a whole lot longer, but I absolutely love this trilogy. Not because everyone loves it or any of that stuff but because of everything else, the characters, the plot, the idea, the writing, the story, the thoughts, etc. Quick story: I read this trilogy almost a year ago, I never liked reading much in 5th-the beginning of 7th grade, and then I read this and became an some-what avid reader. I realized books can be good! Like really, really, really, really, really- sorry. But The Hunger Games trilogy is AMAZING so if you haven't read it yet, clear your schedule for a few days and go to the bookstore. Now. :)

~The Divergent (yet to be) trilogy, Veronica Roth
    The Divergent trilogy has 2/3 books out now and I am dying, DYING to read the 3rd one. But I have to wait a whole year!! Anyways, it's just amazing, depending on my mood I like it a little more then THG, most of the time there ties, but after watching THG 7 times on DVD, I like THG a little bit more. But they will soon be ties again. (As in I will like them the same.) I read Divergent the very beginning of March (I think March 1st actually) and got Insurgent (book 2) the day it came out, and I am planning to do the same with the 3rd one. :)

~Legend Trilogy, Marie Lu.
    Long story, short, I love this book and I can't wait for the next two! I have a review here.

~Delirium trilogy, Lauren Oliver
    The idea behind the books is so smart, (that love is a disease) and so intriguing, that I don't know it's just amazing. And the writing, oh the writing, is so beautiful! I personally like Pandemonium (Book 2) a lot more than Delirium, however I can not wait, literally can't wait, even more than all the other books, for the 3rd one, Requiem, to come out. I entered a contest to win it, but sadly I didn't win. But there will be more opportunities and if not, I will have to wait a couple months for it to come out!

~Ok so for my 5th favorite book-it's a tie, or should I say ties.

1. Hush, Hush series (book review here.), Becca Fitzpatrick
2. The Fault in our Stars, John Green
3. Unwind Trilogy, Neal Shusterman
4. The Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy (Shiver, Linger, Forever)

Honestly, I love all the books I have on my bookshelf (I will be doing a bookshelf tour soon) but these are my top! Check out my Goodreads to see my favorite books, books I'm reading/read and more!

Do you know what today is (besides reading the title)? It's August 18th, which is the realease of The Hunger Games on Blu-Ray and/or DVD! I already pre-ordered mine on Amazon, but you can pick it up at Walmart or order or something. :) Let me know if you get it! I can't wait to watch it! I'll have a beauty post either tomorrow or Monday. -Kait

"The Hunger Games": Liam Hemsworth Engaged?!

Hey Everyone!
I know I haven't done a THG post in FOREVER but (no offense) there's nothing really exciting happening right now. Until I heard about this. Liam Hemsworth, who plays Gale, is engaged to Miley Cyrus after 3 years of dating! I have been wanting to do a THG post, but I had no clue of what to do it on. Voila! (That's how you spell it right? It reminds me of the word Viola-which I have been playing since 5th grade.) Anywhoo, I just wanted to share that news! Have a great day!

My THG Nails

Hey Everyone!
Today is a THG post and a beauty post!! This is how I painted my nails for the movie! (I have a limited amount of nail polish, so I did the best I could!) I used Sephora by OPI for all nails and in the Glee set!

 Here is a close up. On the pinkie finger I wanted to represent the Capitol.  I did a hot purple-pink raspberry color called "Miss Bossy Pants" with a layer of multi-colored (mostly sliver) sparkles called "Celibacy Club". On my ring finger I used a coral with pink sparkles called "Express Yourself to Yourself". This color reminded me of the dress Katniss wore during her interview. On my thumb, I used a navy with blue sparkles, just for a background, called "Sue vs. Shue". I wrote (well, my friend wrote-using her nail art pen that I don't know where she got from-sorry!) KE + PM. On my other thumb, my friend wrote 12 for District 12!

On my middle finger, I painted it a matte light blue called "Slushied" and then used "Sue vs. Shue" for the other half and then dotted "Celibacy Club". I did this to represent the days and nights spent in the arena. My pointer finger, I used "Slushied" again. But this time I took "Gleek Out", which is an olive-lime sparkly green color, and made a cloud shape for trees!

I hope you guys enjoyed! :) -Kait

Katniss Goes to Hogwarts

Hey Everyone!
So sorry about having another Hunger Games post, but there is only 2 days left, and I can not wait!!
I was exploring today :) and found an amazing-ly fun website/game. If you've read/seen the Harry Potter series, and liked them, and also read THG trilogy, you will love this game! I am on Katniss' 3rd year at Hogwarts, so I am unsure how many years you go through. But so far, it's been so fun! Pretty much, Katniss gets a letter to Hogwarts and she accepts it. The rest of the game is trying to help Harry, Ron, Hermione, and others throughout the years. I absolutely love this game! One of my favortie parts was when Ginny said that rumors have been going around that Katniss liked Fred. But then it says something like this, "He's not a baker or a painter. He adds too much sugar in his tea, and doesn't double lace his shoe laces. (Sorry for the spelling.) Remind you of someone?
Well, what are you waiting for? Play the Game Here! May the wands be ever in your favor!

Let me know what you think of it!
