Read Play Watch in August 2018

One of the things I have been meaning to do with my blog for quite some time is to include more of the non-beauty things that I love through short reviews as well as casually talking about my hobbies. I love these kinds of posts as they give me a lot of fun ideas.

Not all of the books, games, movies or whatever else I will be talking about here will necessarily be new as I am a lover of things that have stood the test of time but on the other hand if I tried something new in August and I liked it will feature here. 

Here are some cool things I found in the month of August:

Pencil makeup

Does anybody else have a love-hate relationship with makeup during summer? It's just so hot and sweat is just everywhere to the point were makeup gets more and more minimal until I just end up using the basics.

While I've been away

This is definitely not the first time I've taken a break from my blog. I have been practically non-active for all of 2016, and most of 2015 (no three months don't really count). But every time I felt like it was for the same reason.

July's favorites

What a month! I swear I have no idea how July passed, I pretty much still stuck to May when I was graduating. Time definitely flies.

To be honest I haven't really been trying that much new skincare and makeup since I do like to finish everything I have before I start something new. But there are a few new things that I have been loving in the month of July as well as the month of June both beauty and otherwise.
