august favorites & regrets

hi guys! it's time for another favorites! not too many things this time, but i've been using them a lot this month!! ~Lin-chan ^.~

favorites:

top - bottom: brazilian tan, purely naked, beige

brazilan tan, dangerous affair

1. revlon super lustrous lipstick in brazilian tan -- i've finally rescued this lipstick from the depths of my closet. a couple years ago when this lipstick came out, i fell in love with it and probably mentioned it on here at that time. anyway, i've rediscovered it and am super happy to have it back in my life!
• as a random side note, i thought this lipstick was limited edition when it came out, but apparently it's on ulta's website, so idk.
2. ciate london paint pot in dangerous affair -- as i've said many many times. i am not a red person, not so much for lipstick or nails. and what is this?! blasphemy! i really like this color and i really enjoy this formula. i applied this polish twice, back to back this month. this polish legit lasted me 5 days both times before there was any major peeling. that like never happens to me anymore. 12 hours. that's how most polishes have been lasting me lately. this is awesome! i'm super impressed and interested in buying other shades. 
3. makeup geek eyeshadow in purely naked -- this is such a great all-over lid shade for minimal makeup days! it's a nude-y peach shade with a slight shimmer.
4. bobbi brown shimmer wash eyeshadow in beige -- this is not very amazing at first glance or swatched. but on the eyes, how it catches the light, and paired with a great crease color, is such a pretty and effortless eye look. that i've been using it almost every day since i got it.

random favorites: 

1. ReLife anime/manga -- so i totally forgot to mention this last month, but the first season of relife anime is online...and omg. it is amazingness. two gripes: sequence of events for some things wasn't 100% true to the manga (but at least they were still included! - unlike a lot of anime), and second: it was too short. season 2 needs to come out like yesterday. not only that, but the manga is still amazing by the way, and continues to impress. i can't wait to see what happens next!
2. gyakuten saiban (phoenix wright: ace attorney) anime -- omg they made the first two games (if not more, as it's still airing!) into an anime. loooooooooveeeeee! the things that throw me off are that their japanese names aren't as cool, and the subtitlers are inconsistent using their american names vs the japanese ones. but whatever, i love it. this is one of my favorite game series, and the next edition (spirit of justice) is slated for US release in a couple weeks, so excite!

meh:
makeup forever ink liner -- this is a gorgeous eyeliner. it's super black, dries down matte.... but that's as far as it goes for me. i think i've mentioned before that my eyes get itchy and watery or i tend to rub my eyes a lot..... well this stuff runs. and smears. and transfers. all. over. there was one day that i had a smear line from the outer corner of my eye to pretty close to my temple, and this was maybe 4 hours after application. another day, i mysteriously got a huge line across the center of my lid. i swear it wasn't there when i left the house, but when i got home..there it was! in short, if you're like me, don't get this product. but if you don't have any of those issues/habits, this is a really great liner!
