May has come to a swift close and now it is time to post my monthly favorites! Starting off I will talk about a item not in the picture above. Recently I started watching the show "Once Upon a Time, on Netflix. I was rather skeptical on it and thought I was in for a giant cheese fest of raging princess emotions. After the first episode I was still on the fence but after a few episodes in, I was quickly addicted! I literally cant stop thinking about what is going to happen and what fairy tale character will pop up next! It is full of a brilliantly well picked cast. Rumpelstiltskin has to be my favorite character. He is neither a villain or a hero. He stands on his own for his own purpose always leaving you questionable on his next tactic.
Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland. Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus
This tragic true story of Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight during their captivity with Ariel Castro for over 10 years. I heard about this book on my favorite radio station NPR while Amanda was being interviewed live on the air. It was heart breaking to hear what had happened to them. I picked up the book the day it was put on the shelves and literally could not put it down after. It was intense and personal. It made you feel like you were there with them trying to help them through the whole awful situation. It was written so well from diary entries from both girls and from the outside view of reporters and what was happening on the news. If you are wanting a new book to read I highly suggest you picking up this one.

Right: Cover girl lipstick in Succulent Cherry 295, and Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids collection in 885 Vibrant Mandarin. These two shades have been my go to look lately. They are the perfect summer red and orange shade. Both equally the perfect. Not too red and not too orange!
E.L.F. Smudge pot in Ain't That Sweet. This little pearlescent pot puts off colors of pink purple and champagne. The perfect on the go eye look of highlighter. I personally love it as a highlighter more it makes me feel quite like a glowy fairy godmother!
e.l.f. High Definition Studio Poweder in Shimmer: This product is another glowy highlighter. I have tryied the normal sheer powder for all over and it also works wonderfully, but this shimmer one packs a punch! This I only use to highlight my cheekbones, brow bone and inner corner for all over would make me look like a disco ball!
Maybelline Instant eye Eraser Concealer:
These babies work wonders for my dark under eye circles. No more will I walk around looking like I go socked in the eye! I have two different shades. One in my skin color and the other in a brightening shade to make me look a little bit more awake , especially after my long nights of Netflixing.

Lastly my most favorite thing of the month was celebrating me and my lovely boyfriends one year anniversary together! We traveled to a close by water park and spent a wonderful two days just us two. It was wonderful and I could not ask for a better boyfriend. He truly gets me and is my best friend on the entire planet, and I cant wait to spend the rest of my life with him being our weird selves.
