Things I Fucking Love (pt. 2)

A while back, I had every intention of making this a regular thing here, but since I don't buy a shit ton of shit all the time, it took me a while to compile another list. Lucky for you, the time has come, so let's get our dicks wet...

Number one on the list is a book! That's right, I read!!! This book is my favorite so far this year. It's Bo Burnham's book of really weird and hilarious poetry, Egghead. I recommend it for all of the laughs...

Since I'm the queen of sensitive skin, I've spent a long time looking for skincare that wouldn't completely massacre my skin. I've fallen in love with QueBella face masks. I haven't tried the pictured mask, but it was the only one that wasn't opened yet. The deep sea mud mask is my favorite thus far. You can find them at any Target, but the drawback is that they don't sell them in tubes or tubs. Only in sample sizes.

In the same vein, I've been looking for a really good moisturizer. I don't think money spent on skincare is money wasted by any means, but I'd like to know the product is good before I spend upwards of $10 on it. While xmas shopping, I stumbled upon a Marshalls I hadn't found before and - GUHDUHHH - Marshalls has name brand shit for super cheap! There was a myriad of skin products - good skin products - at my feet/face. I walked away with a $30 moisturizer for $5 and I don't know that I'd ever change my night moisturizer. This Mogador night cream is majestic. It smells like... Jesus having sex with a unicorn. It stays through the night. I actually have tried it as a pre-makeup moisturizer and it's perfect for that too. I recommend it. I also recommend finding it at Marshalls so you have $25 more dollars in your pocket. Unless you don't care about that sort of thing. In which case, can I borrow like $100?

One of the girl things I just "get" is definitely bags. They don't have to be designer or anything, but I'm very specific about my bags. I prefer a leather texture - but only faux leather. No obnoxious colors. I'd had a small purse for about two years. Living in the city requires me to be able to carry a bunch of shit at once though, so I figured it was time for an upgrade. So I went to my purse purchasing staple; Target. I found this gem and though it was a little more than I usually like to spend ($30 - I have waited a bag I loved at Target down til it was on clearance before.. I'm broke, gimme a break!), there was no other bag that spoke to me.

While I'm not much for vanity or anything along those lines, I do have an addiction to YouTube beauty gurus. One of my favorites is Fleur DeForce (you can find her YouTube channel here and her blog here). She recommended Rimmel London's ApocaLips, or ShowOff as they are here in the States. I like the wear of these more than the colors. The colors are a lot louder than they appear. The red is very wearable. The pink is only good for shooting videos. It looks like you're the drunk grandmother who no longer remembers how much lipstick is too much lipstick. 

Final beauty product ahoy. My hair is down to my ass and thick as a horse mane, so I'm no stranger to super painful tangles. Knots that I feared would somehow rip off my scalp in one stroke of the brush. Again, through a beauty guru (this time Zoella), I found out about this magic item. This is a detangler brush. This is obviously the Goody, low-end ($7) version that I found at a Walmart, but it really does the job. Painless painless painless. And trust me, my mother gave me the worst haircut of my life when I was eight because I refused to brush my hair (if I can ever find a photo, I'll share that shit - it's humiliating.) -- so I think I know what the fuck I'm talking about.

I love novelty items. I don't even care what they are. The weirder, the fucking better. Like this thing... whatever the hell this thing is. All I know is that it lights up.

OH! And coffee mugs. Novelty coffee mugs.

...aaaaaaaaaaaaand last but not least...
