My August Favorites

As we dive into the final month of summer, I'm excited to share with you my favorite things that I've been using, watching, and wearing during this time of year. First up, let's talk about makeup. I recently picked up a bright and colorful eyeshadow palette from Walmart's generic makeup section. The colors are so vibrant and adorable, and I've been wearing them nonstop since getting it.

I also got my hands on the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze self-tanner. What I love most about this product is that it doesn't make you turn orange or color you too quickly. Instead, the color slowly grows over time, giving you a natural-looking tan glow. I've been using it mostly on my legs and have found that two coats do the trick for me, lasting for about a week before needing to be reapplied. As someone who is naturally pale, I was worried that this product would give me an unnatural tan, but it's actually been really subtle and flattering.

The best part? The self-tanner comes in a travel-sized bottle, making it perfect for tossing into my suitcase or purse whenever I'm on-the-go. One of the bottles also came with this little tiny brush, which is super cute and has been getting so much use. All in all, I'm loving the way this product makes me look and feel.

Next up, let's talk about nail polish. I recently picked up a green and blue shade from Sinful Colors that have been absolutely adorable on my nails. What really sets these polishes apart is how long they last - I put on three coats of the blue one and it stayed on for two whole weeks with barely any chipping! The other shade, while beautiful in its own right, also lasted a good amount of time without needing to be touched up.

I've always been a bit self-conscious about my nails because I chip them so quickly. But these polishes have completely changed the game for me. Whether you're looking for a bright and fun color or a more subtle shade, Sinful Colors has got you covered.

Clothing-wise, I've been pretty minimal this month except for one adorable sweater from Pon that I just can't get enough of. The design is super simple - it's just solid gray with an adorable little alien on it - but that's part of its charm. Plus, the cropped fit and frayed edges make it perfect for pairing with high-waisted pants or shorts.

Of course, no August favorites list would be complete without mentioning TV shows! I recently started watching Teen Wolf and I am absolutely hooked. The show is so addictive and fun to watch - Dylan O'Brien's adorable chemistry with the rest of the cast is just one reason why I'm obsessed. Plus, who wouldn't want to get married to a cute nerdy guy like him?

The only thing that's keeping me from binge-watching an entire season at once (because let's be real, homework can wait) is that I don't want to spoil any of the plot twists or surprises for myself. But trust me when I say that Teen Wolf is definitely worth checking out - even if you're not a fan of supernatural shows, the characters and storyline are just so compelling.

Overall, I'm loving everything about this month so far - from my favorite makeup looks to my new favorite TV show. What's on your August favorites list? Let me know in the comments below!
