JULY FAVORITES <(>//<)>

Hello Everyone:)

It is time for ANOTHER monthly favorites post!

Also, I will post a photo of myself at the end of this blog post.

I enjoy meeting new people, so don't be afraid to say hi!

I LOVE talking about anime, make-up or whatever other nerdy topic!^^

Let's Begin!!

Music:

1. Jealous Girl by Lana Del Ray - (I enjoy sass, and this song has this super catchy beat with great vocals!)

2. Lipstick by Orange Caramel - (This korean pop song is great for a work-out with it's awesome fast-paced beat!)

Art:

1. Copics- I am currently adoring Y28 (Lionet Gold) and B04 (Tahitian Blue)! They make a shockingly good combination and a unique contrast.

2. CatScratch from D.A. - I adore his art style! It is so fresh and lovely. He has a unique light and flowy take on the chibi art style. I highly recommend you check some of his art out! Here is a link to my favorite art piece!:)

3. PRISMACOLOR - A cheaper alternative to copic markers, I am currently enjoying PM-192 (Avocado). A light and sweet green that is perfect to express a warm summer day or a cool relaxing scene.

Anime:

1. The World God Only Knows 3 - I highly enjoyed the first two seasons! However, the third season has led to a bit of disappointment. I feel it doesn't reach the same level of it's previous seasons and provides weak humor here and there. I am still happy to see my beloved Keima-kun again! Another issue, they skip several conquests and do a very brief overview of them and leaving the audience slightly confused and disappointed. They immediately jump into a new arc that takes time to adjust to. The art is still great, but they mess up by not giving enough screen time to Elsie, who is key for many gags in the past. I have a lot of negatives, but overall it is a good animation and not the worst continuation of a series. I recommend you watch this, but when you have free time. This animation can wait. B+.

2. Free! (Iwatobi Swim Club) - This series is being talked about non-stop and the fandom is HUGE. Personally, I enjoy this show. It doesn't have the strongest plot, but it has some strong characters and a TON of fan service aimed toward the man-lovers. This animation is strongly aimed towards a female audience, but it can still be enjoyed by all. As someone who has founded a club in the past, this show was a great watch as it shows their development not only through swimming, but their leadership in some ways! They work hard to create something that is special to themselves, and show great dedication. I recommend you give this show a shot! A.

Manga:

1. Katekyo Hitman Reborn - The series starts off heavily based on gag comedy, but slowly starts to transform into a more action manga of sorts. Not only does the story-line develop, the art goes through some drastic changes- but for the better! I own two guide-books, and am a big fan of the series! It really reaches to many different audiences, and has a great story-line. I highly recommend you read this series! A+.

2. Fruits Basket - I feel like this is a cult classic, and I never get tired re-reading this series. Fruits Basket is a great shoujo manga that reaches out to a unique audience. I felt like it hit me on a personal level, because we all go through the process in our teenage years and even beyond learning to accept ourselves and others as we are. It has a great sense of humor, and I recommend this series! A.

Beauty:

1. L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Powder - This is my favorite drug-store powder to use for a daily basis! It helps matte my face without appearing cakey. I am shade W2 in light ivory, and I highly recommend this product! <3 x 8

2. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in 69 - This is a great quality lipstick. I personally don't wear reds often, but 69 is a great red shade with gorgeous pink undertones! The color lasts all day, it is highly pigmented and has a mostly matte finish. I personally prefer matte, but you can always just glide some lipgloss on for a more glossy look. I plan on purchasing more shades, and highly recommend this product! <3 x 10

3. Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm - This is a great drug-store choice to keep your lips moisturized and soft! My go-to lip balm and recommended! <3 x 8

I thought I should share a picture of myself. I took this derpy-looking picture back in May during a banquet.

This is everything for my favorites of July! I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to leave a comment below on your favorite beauty products, anime, music or whatever for the month of June! Thank you for reading! I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day, and until next time~ Sayonara!
