February favorites.

Hello, lovely people! I don't know about you, but the month of February flew right by for me, and I am eagerly anticipating spring, however long it takes to get here. This past month has been short and sweet and I've been loving so many products lately that I decided to do a favorites post! February was a great month for my skin, so here's my top three favorite products.

Caress body wash.
As you can see, I've basically wiped out this entire bottle of body wash. Before picking this up at good ole Target, I had never even heard of Caress before... I honestly just liked the packaging and thought the scent was nice. But honestly, I don't think I've ever seen such dramatic and healthy improvements in my skin after using something as simple as a body wash! This left my skin feeling literally just like silk, looking brighter and more glowing than I think I've ever seen before. Not to mention that burnt brown sugar and karite butter smell absolutely incredible together... Ahhhh. For only $4 at Target (!!!), this has been the best body wash I have ever purchased. I'm never going to use anything else.  

Kiss My Face moisturizer.
I usually don't pay too much attention to the moisturizers I buy, since my skin doesn't really get too dry even in winter, so I usually shake up my purchases and go with whatever I happen to think smells nice. This moisturizer was only $7 at the store, and it did help keep my skin soft and moist, but what really stood out to me was its uncanny ability to clear my face! I've been using it since about mid January, and I honestly don't think I've had even ONE problem pimple/spot since I've started using this. I don't think I've ever been more thrilled with a skincare product in my life. Apparently, coconut water and oil do wonders for acne. I'm never buying any other moisturizer. Ever. 

Maybelline FitMe Foundation.
Maybe it's because I finally found the perfect shade of liquid foundation for my skin, or maybe every other brand I've tried has been absolute shit... but it's DEFINITELY Maybelline! ;) Hehe cheesy cheesy, I know. But in all seriousness, this foundation has been everything I've ever hoped for in liquid form. I can't even tell when I'm rubbing it in that my face is getting wet with makeup... I just start to magically look like I've come out of a beauty magazine, and my skin looks bright and beautiful and fairylike within seconds! The finish is so natural looking and it holds really well throughout the day, even if I go to the gym to work up an unladylike sweat at noon. I can't even express to you how excited I am to have finally found the perfect product for my skin! 

Essie nail polish.
Love, love, love. This month I've really been loving these two colors, Glamour Purse and Lilacism. I love how opaque they are, how smoothly they go on, how elegant they look... Ah, I'm just in love. Definitely Essie obsessed for life.

Let's hope March will be just as lovely as dear February has been!

a little introduction.

Hello, blogging community! I'm Anne, and I'll be using this blog to share little bits and pieces of my life, with hopes that some of you will find what I have to say interesting, intriguing and relate-able... if only mildly so!  My posts will probably range from book reviews, movie reviews, shopping hauls, recipes, craft ideas, and whatever else I deem worthy to share with you lovely people. Thank you to my dear friend Amanda, whose wonderful blog has inspired me to create one of my own. :)

A bit about myself... I'm a nineteen year old college student, majoring in English Literature and minoring in Philosophy. I've been in a relationship for a little over two years now with my handsome man Chris, whose name will no doubt appear quite frequently throughout my posts. I'm the oldest of four children, and I thoroughly enjoy flowers, fairytales, and anything that is pretty and pastel. I love to read, write, sing, listen to music... sometimes I draw, but I'm not very good at it. One day I'll live in a little cottage near the sea, strolling about in my garden and caring for my very big family.

I hope to both inspire and be inspired through the use of this blog, and I look forward to meeting and learning new things about new people and myself on this exciting site! I hope you all have a lovely day :)

♡ xoxo, anne
