2013 Beauty Favourites

Hello beautiful people :)

With the new year beginning and my last blog post being a downer, what's a nice way to pick things back up?

I'm here to share with you the beauty products that I've been loving throughout 2013.

Last year (woah, that sounds weird) was the year that really sparked my love of make-up.

It's strange to see how quickly my make-up collection has grown.

I really have too much for my own good...

I just love it so much and because I watch so many beauty guru's it only makes me buy more!

Let's start with my favourite foundation of the year.

Covergirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The only time I used to wear foundation was while I was dancing.

My skin is pretty good, so I've never had a need to wear any foundation.

But I did find that it made my skin look even better and it helped my makeup.

I wasn't sure how I felt about this foundation when I first purchased it, but I love it now.

It gives a fuller coverage and is an excellent drugstore foundation.

I have the shade soft honey.

It evens out my skin and blends very nicely.

The best way to apply this foundation is to use a damp sponge.

It avoids streakiness.

My favouite bronzer and blush.

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

I bought this because I needed a matte bronzer.

I was immediately sold when I found out it smells like chocolate.

It's so heavenly and I can't help but smell it every time I apply it.

What I love about this product is how natural it is.

I use this to contour my face and it gives me a nice subtle look without making it look like I'm purposefully trying to make my face look thinner. 

I'm pretty sure this will always be my favourite bronzer and I know I'll be repurchasing this product.

Gosh Cosmetics' Natural Blush in Flower Power

After I found my matte bronzer, I began to look for some matte blushes.

After watching one of Tanya Burr's video I knew I had to check out this blush.

It didn't take much convincing to purchase this. 

The packaging isn't the best and I'm scared to break it, but the colour is beautiful and I love the way it looks on my skin. 

It's very natural and I look like I have natural colour in my cheeks!

2014 is definitely going to be the year where I build my blush collection.

Uh-oh...

Let's move to the eyes!

Naked 3 Palette

This comes to no surprise.

I'm sure you've seen every beauty guru include this and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to include this because I got this at the end of 2013.

But I'm going to do it anyways because it's absolutely beautiful.

I went on a journey and a half to buy this and it's absolutely worth it.

I got the Naked 1 for Christmas and I love that one too.

I love the pink shades and I love the combinations of colours.

I've used this palette for every day looks and for when I got out at night.

You can literally use this palette for any look.

It's definitely worth the $70!

Stila's All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner

This eyeliner is the love of my life!

I had the longest struggle finding a good eyeliner.

At the beginning of 2013, I eventually just went to Sephora and asked for help.

The wonderful lady brought me over to this beauty.

First time I wore, I loved and I'm still loving it.

It applies so nicely, I can create a lovely cat eye as well because the tip is fine. 

& once it's on...it's on.

It doesn't smudge- I've rubbed my eye accidentally and my eyeliner didn't budge.

The best thing about this is it isn't a pain to take off.

Any make-up remover that I use has no problem with this product. 

Rimmel Scandal Eyes & Rimmel Lash Accelerator

Now I expected that Benefit's They're Real would be my favourite mascara.

But this combination makes my eyelashes look unbelievable!

They curl nicely and it really lengthens everything- making my eyes look a lot bigger.

I first apply the lash accelerator which curls my eyelashes and lengthens them.

Then I use Scandal Eyes to thicken them.

I don't know how I didn't combine this two earlier...would've saved me a lot of money!

haha!

Finally, the lips.

I went a little bit lipstick crazy during 2013

From left to right: Revlon's Colourburst Matte Balm in Standout, MAC in Rebel, Rimmel London's Kate Moss in 107 and Rimmel  London's Apocalips in Apocaliptic

Lipsticks are the one thing that I'm really daring with.

I have no problem rocking a bold lip on a daily basis.

Revlon's Colourburst is my favourite red lipstick.

Since it's a balm, it's very moisturizing and the colour is very rich.

I can go majority of the day without touching it up, which is fantastic. 

It has a peppermint scent which I find very enjoyable. 

MAC's Rebel is by far my boldest lipstick.

It's a beautiful plum colour.

I love this for the fall and winter.

I find this a little drying on the lips therefore I have to apply a lip balm before putting it on.

I'm also finding myself reapplying this colour quite often. 

I purchased Kate Moss' 107 because of Zoella.

The colour was absolutely gorgeous on her.

I, however, didn't take into account that I have a very different skin tone compared to Zoe.

I didn't care, I bought it anyways. 

I love the vampy, matte look that this one gives.

It is definitely a fall colour, but I wore it in the summer- I don't care.

This is very drying though and stay power is not that great.

Lastly, Rimmel's Apocalips.

There was such a huge hype in the UK about this, so when it came here I had to try it.

This colour is a stunning hot pink!

This colour does not fade and where I wear this I do not have to touch it up!

I do have to be careful when applying this because before it sets is very messy!

There you have it :)

As this year progresses, I expect to add more products to my favourites and I can't wait to share them with you all!

My Sincere Apologies :)

Hello beautiful people!

It has been weeks since I've been on here and I am so sorry!

School has started up again and I told myself that I wouldn't neglect my blog, but it looks like I am!

:(

I have tried multiple times to try and blog, but every time I wasn't in love with what I wrote.

I put a lot of time and effort into each and every post and I don't want to share with you posts that I'm not happy with.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm having writer's block right now!

It's the worse feeling and it really frustrates me.

I have a lot of things going on right now and it's always consuming my mind.

I'm hoping that once I can clear my mind up, I'll have room to write great posts for you guys again!

I'm in the process of organizing everything!

So along with organizing my school and work duties, I will be coming up with a blogging schedule for myself!

I will not let myself forget about this blog during the year.

I will have to take a break around midterms and finals, but that will be the only time. 

I hope to further improve my blog by coming up with cool posts and possibly changing up the structure!

I have things running in my mind, I just have to perfect them!

So I apologize for my absence, but I will be back very shortly!

While you are all waiting, there is a new video on my joint YouTube Channel with my best friend Stephanie!

We filmed our August Favourites :)

Come and check it out, if you're interested to see our favourite beauty and fashion favourite, along with our favourite person, food and song of the month :)

Thanks for tuning in lovelies!

Leave a comment below and let me know what you would like to see from me!

I will definitely read through all of the suggestions!

July Favourites :)

Hello beautiful people :)

Just 2 more days until I start posting more often!

So it is the end of the month and I'm going to do my monthly favourites.

I don't normally do these and I'm not going to start.

I'm doing this to make up for all the Fancy Friday's that I've missed and because I have favourites that I do want to share with you.

However, I will be doing monthly favourites on my YouTube channel with my best friend Stephanie!

:)

Without further ado, here are my July favourites!

My favourites all together!

Lets start with my beauty favourites! :)

 When I found this product at Shoppers, I actually screamed!

This is Rimmel London's Apocalips in Apocaliptic!

All of my favourite British YouTubers raved about this and I was so jealous that we didn't have them in Canada!

Then, two American Youtubers that I watch announced that they had them in certain places but it was called something else!

So the moment, I saw this I had to buy one!

I'm making a trip to the States next week, so I'll be purchasing more!

But what I love about these is that they stain your lips nicely!

It lasts a long time and it's very pigmented!

The colour pops so well I'm in love with it!

It smells like the Rimmel lipsticks, but I love the scent and it doesn't dry my lips out which is a bonus!

 Lately, I've been buying a lot more eye shadows and I have no idea why I haven't started to build up my own eyeshadow palette. 

That was a bad decision on my part!

Anyways, I've been looking for a shadow to fill my eyebrows with and the one i was using before just wasn't cutting it!

So I got this one, it is Mac's eyeshadow in Mystery Satin!

It matches my hair colour perfectly!

The best part is, I can use this for a smokey eye as well!

It's an excellent colour and I'm really liking it!

 Another product that I've been loving is Maybelline's FIT me blush in deep nude!

I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup the past couple of weeks, to give my skin a break!

But if I do wear makeup, I keep it very basic and natural!

This is a blush with a little bit of shimmer in it, but it's nothing extreme!

It gives me a nice subtle glow when I wear it!

I think this is perfect for a summer, every day look!

My last favourite beauty product is another Rimmel London product!

If you've been tuning in for all of my Fancy Friday's, it is clear that I am a Rimmel London fan!

I haven't been disappointed by one of their products so far!

This one is their Wake Me Up Anti-fatigue and radiant glow foundation in the shade 400 Natural beige.

This is my first non-dance related foundation and I love it!

I don't like feeling like I have a mask of makeup on my face!

I wanted something natural looking and light!

This is the perfect foundation!

It absorbs into my skin and provides a great amount of coverage for my skin type.

What I like the most about this foundation is the radiant glow it gives me!

My skin looks a lot better when I have this on and I love the way it looks in the sun :)

Now before I begin...everyone take your minds out of the gutter ;)
It's a curling wand, guys!!
For the past month, I have rarely been straightening my hair. I just prefer when it's curly!
& because it's the Summer, I let my hair air dry and when it does, it dries wavy.
So what I do is I curl random pieces of my hair loosely.
I love the way it looks!

 My favourite book of the month is The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
This was a required reading for the summer course I am taking and I really, really liked it!
It's very dark and depressing, but the writing is brilliant!
I rented this from the library, but I'm tempted to buy my own copy because I loved it so much!
This isn't a light read and it doesn't exactly put you in a happy mood, but it's a great novel!
I recommend this, if you like post-apocalyptic novels!

Okay, so you know I went to see One Direction on July 10th and it was the best night of my life!
This shirt has been my favourite shirt for July!
It just reminds me how amazing the night was and it's super comfy!
I've been wearing this to sleep and just around the house, but it makes me really happy every time I wear it!

I have two musical favourites this month!
The first one is this attractive Australian band called 5 Seconds of Summer.
They are currently touring with One Direction and they are seriously talented!
3/4 of them play guitar and Ashton who is on the right plays the drums.
On Top of that they all have great voices!
They have catchy and fun songs, I can't wait for them to release a cd!

This is my favourite song by them!
They're funny and talented guys!
Seriously check them out!

My second music favourite is a girl group called Girls Aloud.
Now they aren't some new group, they've been around for a while and are extremely popular in the UK.
I started listening to them because my friend recommended them and I'm glad she did.
I am hooked on them!
Their songs make me want to dance all the time, they are so energetic and typical pop songs! (which I love)
All five of them are so beautiful.
To me, they are a classy version of the Pussycat Dolls!
They can be fierce and classy all at the same time!

This is my favourite song by them!
It's called Love Machine!
It's very bubbly and fun to listen too!
I love having this blast through my car whilst I'm driving!
It puts me in the best mood!

That it is all for my July Favourites!
Leave a comment below and let me know what you've been loving throughout the month of July!

You'll hear from me soon!

Fancy Friday #8

Hello beautiful people :)

I apologize for my lack of posts this week.

I'm still trying to balance out school and work and finding time to blog in between!

But here's my weekly favourites :)

My first one is a Starbucks drink.

I am addicting to Starbucks and it doesn't help that one of my best friends work there.

She introduced me to this drink last week and I'm obsessed with it.

It actually isn't being sold yet, so I'm pretty darn lucky hehe!

It's a blended lemonade with peach syrup.

It tastes like a liquid form of fuzzy peaches!

Unreal right?

It's seriously amazing!

The second thing that I've been loving are bonfires.

I had my first one of the summer on Canada Day with my best friends and we're planning to have another one tonight (if the rain goes away!)

But sitting around a fire and roasting marshmellows are my favourite things to do in the summer.

I love the smell of fire on my clothing!

The one that I hate is getting the smoke into my eyes...it burns!

Onto my beauty favourites! :)

This is Nyx's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk!

I love wearing this!

It's such a beautiful shade of shimmery pink and I love the cream finish!

I pair this up with my bad to the bronze eye shadow and it makes a beautiful rose gold!

I've been wearing this a lot this week on it's own and I'm loving it!

I'm definitely going to get more colours!

My last favourite is a lipstick.

This is Kate Moss' lip stick in the shade 102.

This is a beautiful everyday colour.

I really like the matte look!

But what I would suggest with this one, is to wear lip balm underneath it because it can be a little drying at times!

Other than that, I love this shade and I really like the packaging.

Those are all the products that I've been loving this week :)

Fancy Friday #7

Hello beautiful people :)

I really need to start planning out my blogging schedule around work and school now!

I promise this will be my last late blog post, unless I have a really good reason.

Haha!

So here it is, yesterday's Fancy Friday!

This is Maybelline's Gel Eyeliner in the colour Eggplant.

When I first used this product, I wasn't a fan of it because I didn't like the way it applied.

But I gave it another chance and I found that the more I used it the more I liked it.

You're really able to control how you want it to look.

The Eggplant goes on quite thinly, but it's very easy to build up.

I'm excited to start using more gel eyeliners.

 This is Clinique's Chubby Stick in the shade 04 Mega Melon.

I've had this for months and just never tried it, until this week. 

I love wearing lipstick, my lips feel naked without something on them.

Since, I've been working at Harvey's I can't really wear a bold lip because that would look odd.

So I gave this one a try.

The colour is very subtle and is a tinted lip balm.

It's almost like a nude/maroon shade.

It's a very nice every day lip product and I quite enjoy it!

I got this for free because I had a certain amount of Beauty Insider points at Sephora.

I don't think I would buy this because I'm sure  there are drugstore tinted lip balms that works just as great.

This is my new camera.

It's a Nikon COOLPIX P520.

I use this camera to take 99% of my blog photos and when I'm going out.

But I've been using this camera a lot this week because my brother had his graduation and other events.

I am so happy that I got this camera because I love the quality of the pictures.

It's a great size and has amazing zoom.

This is my first 'fancy' camera and I think this is a great starting camera for those interested in getting something like this.

The price isn't too bad when you compare it to other cameras!

I'm still learning with this camera, but overall it's amazing!

 My last favourite is very cheesy, but a lot has just happened this week.

These people in the pictures above are my best friends.

I cannot begin to describe how much they mean to me!

They all play such an important role in my life.

These 7 beautiful people accept me for who I am.

They don't try to change me and they don't use me.

They're there when I need them and they give me great advice.

They are all completely different from each other, but it makes it even better!

I don't think I would be who I am today if I didn't have them in my life.

I love them to the moon and back and I know I'll still be friends with them in the future.

Well there it is, Fancy Friday has finally arrived!

I hope you enjoyed it!

Fancy Friday #6

Hello beautiful people :)

What a beautiful day it is here in Ontario, I hope you guys are having nice weather!

Happy Summer :)

If you're still in school, I hope that your exams are going well!

This week's favourites ended up being a lot of body and face products.

I guess I'm just loving body products this week!

My first favourite is Victoria's Secret Charm Deep-Softening Body Butter in the scent honeysuckle and jasmine.

I've had this product for about five months or so and I love it.

After a few days of wearing it, I noticed a large difference in my skin.

It does an excellent job of softening it.

I've used about half of the jar.

I like that it isn't very thick and my skin doesn't feel slimy after I apply it.

I use this after I get out of the shower and my skin just absorbs all of the moisture.

On top of that, it smells great!

It's a flowery scent and smells like it could be perfume.

The smell isn't too over powering either.

This is Aveeno's Intense Relief Hand Cream.

I love Aveeno products, I have their cleanser, their moisturizer and this hand cream.

My body responds to these products amazingly.

They are a little pricier than other drug store body products, but they are definitely worth the price.

So, I started my new job at Harvey's and I wear gloves a lot of the time whilst I am garnishing people's burgers.

The gloves really dry my hands out and I can't stand dry hands.

My hands are always moisturized and are very soft.

My dad came home at the beginning of the week with this and I had to try it.

I come home from work and the first thing I do is put this on.

They are instantly soft again and it doesn't feel dry at all.

My favourite thing about this hand cream is that it isn't greasy.

95% of the hand creams that I own or have tried leave me with greasy hands.

But this one doesn't at all!

The cream is absorbed immediately :)

This funky, little brush made an appearance in my haul post that I posted two hauls back.

It is Goody's Tangle FX brush and it works wonders.

My hair is a rat's nest when I come out of the shower and it hurts my head to brush through it.

So since I bought this brush, I've been using this and my L'Oreal Detangle Spray when I come out of the shower.

There is no pain when I brush through my hair.

I'll run this through my hair and I literally don't feel any tugging or pulling.

This is so gentle with my hair and I love it!

The bristles feel sharp when I run my finger along them, but they aren't like that when I brush my hair!

I love this little guy!

My last product favourite is Rimmel London's Wake Me Up concealer.

Before this I was using a concealer from E.L.F and I wasn't impressed.

I bought this to replace my other one and I love it.

 It provides excellent coverage and brightens underneath my eye!

I have the shade light/medium and it blends in very nicely!

If you guys are looking for a great drug store concealer I recommend this one!

My last favourite is a video.

So, let me get this out of the way...I love One Direction :)

They did a Skype Scavenger Hunt with Jimmy Kimmel.

This is honestly hilarious and my stomach hurts every time I watch this!

They are so funny and good looking ;)

This is definitely worth watching, I guarantee you will laugh and you will laugh harder if you love One Direction! :)

 That's it for this week :)
Let me know if you've tried any of these products or if you recommend any products that I should try!

Fancy Friday #3

Hello beautiful people :)

Oh look it's Friday already!

These weeks just go by faster and faster!

I apologize for not doing a Fancy Friday last week.

I, somehow, forgot...I think I just didn't have time to blog :(

But on a brighter note, here is this week's favourites :)

My first favourite is Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream.

It is an 8-in-1 Beauty Balm with SPF 30.

I have the medium/deep tint because of my darker complexion.

I bought this a couple weeks ago and have been using it every single day.

I bought this in replace of foundation to see if this would be better for me to wear during the summer.

This product is perfect!

It evens out my face providing the right amount of coverage that I need.

I don't feel oily after applying this.

My skin feels smooth and fresh.

I love this product for the summer because it isn't as heavy as some foundations would be, allowing my skin to breath.

So, if anyone is looking for something to moisturize and provide coverage for your face I would definitely recommend this for the summer.

We've had some pretty hot days here and I don't feel like my face is sweating all my makeup off.

It helps set my makeup whilst protecting my skin from the sun :)

The second product is one that I've had for a while and have just forgotten how much I love it!

It is Aveeno's Positively Radiant Makeup Remover and Cleanser :)

This removes my makeup whilst providing me with smooth and soft skin.

When I put this on to remove my face makeup, it feels so soft.

The foam literally just glides across my face managing to take everything off.

When I rinse all the foam off, my face feels so clean, it's amazing!

It is oil-free, but it doesn't dry out my face after I use it.

My skin just feels smooth!

It does an excellent job at taking off my makeup, taking absolutely everything off :)

 I am obsessed with this next product!

I've heard great things about it, but this just exceeds my expectations!

It's the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in shade 25 Bad to the Bronze.

It's a creme eyeshadow that stays on for literally 24 hours.

You can rub your eyes, roast in the sun or play sports and it still stays on.

This lasts an entire day!

Look at how gorgeous this colour is!

I've only had this for a week, but I use it pretty much every day.

It's just so beautiful!

I wear it by itself because I just love the way it looks.

At my brother's confirmation last weekend I wore it a big darker, but I normally keep it pretty light!

I just love the way it looks in natural light and it's very easy to apply!

I want to buy more, but their colours aren't really neutral.

They are louder and bolder.

But there are a few that have caught my eye, so I'm debating on going back!

This is a fabulous creme shadow and very cheap!

I recommend everyone to try it out because this will not disappoint you!

My fashion favourite this week are my black converse!

My mom got me these in April and I love them!

They are so comfy and go with pretty much every outfit!

I like wearing them with dresses!

I'm working on getting two more pairs in a baby pink and sky blue!

They are a lot comfier than flip flops and my knees don't hurt wearing these.

My knees can be in a lot of pain if I'm walking around for a day in flip flops 

(Dancer problems)

My final favourite is a music one and it is this beautiful girl named Madilyn Bailey.

I love acoustic covers of songs and I'm always eager to find YouTube performers.

Madilyn's cover of this song is amazing, her twist is amazing and very unique.

Her voice is great and pretty rich!

I love a lot of the songs on her channel, so everyone should go and check her out!

She does an amazing cover of I Knew You Were Trouble!

Plus, her hair is awesome!

I wish I could rock that!

Anyways, that is it for this week's favourites :)

I hope you guys liked it!

Fancy Friday :)

Hello Beautiful People :)

So today is Friday and I want to start sharing with you the things that I fancy on Friday's.

The things will not follow specific categories, they will just be anything that I have been in love with recently.

I love watching monthly favourites that a lot of my favourite YouTubers do :)

I also believe that this is going to be a lot of fun :)

I'm quite excited for these Fancy Fridays! Yay :)

This week my favourites consist of beauty, reading and face products!

These posts aren't really in depths reviews, so if you have any questions about the things I fancy feel free to leave a comment down below :)

I shall share with you my favourite face products! Wahoo!

Voila! Two lovely products <3

I absolutely love using these products!

The first one is from Bath and Body Works' True Blue Spa line.

It is a supremely smoothing face scrub with apricot and white tea.

This exfoliates the skin leaving it invigorated and extremely smooth.

I have had this product for over a year but have only started using it this January.

It didn't take me long to fall in love with this, it does exactly what it says it's supposed to do.

I already have pretty smooth and clear skin, but after a few uses there was a clear difference.

I use this every morning when I wake up and it wakes my skin up and makes it feel healthy and so smooth.

I literally stand there and stroke my cheeks because they are so smooth after using this.

The smell is also beautiful, it reminds me of tropical places.

It has a really fruity and exotic smell that just pleases your nose whilst you wash your face. 

At the time that I bought it was $13.00, which isn't bad at all.

I definitely recommend this product to everyone, I will definitely be repurchasing this one :)

The second product is Clean and Clear's soothing eye makeup remover.

I have seen one of my favourite YouTubers use this and I thought I would give it a go.

I purchased this about a month ago and I love it.

I'm quite fussy with makeup removers because a lot of them make my skin feel icky afterwards and I really don't like it. 

This one, when you take your eye makeup off your skin doesn't feel oily or greasy! 

It takes it off easily with a cotton pad and all you have to do is rinse your face with warm water to remove whatever is left on your face. 

I wear waterproof eyeliner and some makeup removers that I use can't take off my eyeliner fully, but this one does an excellent job of doing so. 

 The next beauty product that I am going to rave about is one that a lot of bloggers and Youtubers are loving!

I am absolutely in love with L'oreal's Colour Caresse Shine Stains!

There was so much hype about them, I decided to try them out and I love them!

These are my top two most used lip products :)

I plan to expand my colour collection once I get the chance, hehe!

I have here, #184 Rose On and On and #193 Eternally Nude.

The top left is the Rose On and On and the bottom left is the Eternally Nude.

On the right is me swatching the colours for you all :)

To be honest, when I saw the applicator, I wasn't a fan because I typically don't like those type of brushes...but in this case I don't mind at all :)

I love the Rose On and On because it's pretty subtle when you first put it on, but the longer I wear it the colour becomes more visible. 

I tend to reach for the Rose On and On when I want a bit of colour on my lips and then the Eternally Nude when I want to be ore subtle.

These go on quite wet because it's made with 30% water and light hydrating oils.

My lips can become quite dry when I wear lipsticks, but my lips love these glosses.

They don't dry them out at all and I love the way it feels when I'm wearing it.

It's light on my lips and I can feel it hydrating them.

It does say that the colours last up to 6 hours, but that is debatable because before I reach the 6 hour mark, I find myself reapplying this.

So that has to be the only thing I don't agree with, but the colour does last longer than a lot of other lip products :)

This is another product I high recommend for people who may have dry lips!

Finally, the last thing I fancy :)

I love to read and I am definitely a book worm.

I have created myself a summer reading list, which I'm really excited to work through!

This is the first thing on my reading list!

It is Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

It's the first book in a series and I know the movie has already been in theatres.

I'm not that far into the book, but after the first chapter I was hooked.

I love the style of these authors, they do an excellent job of captivating their audience after the first page.

It's about Lena Duchannes who has a power and a family curse. She moves to Gatlin and meets Ethan Wates. Ethan has been dreaming about Lena before he even met her. When they first meet there is a strong and very odd connection between the two of them and Ethan is aware of it. He is desperately trying to figure out what that connection is.

My description of the story line may not be good, but I didn't want to just copy the summary on the back of the book. 

I haven't seen the movie, so I can't compare it to the novel but I will make an effort to watch it once I'm done the book.

What I love most about this book is that whilst I'm reading it, I forget that I'm in my room. I am right in the book.

The characters seem so real, so do their problems and the way the authors write, they make you feel like you are involved with the characters, experiencing the problems with them.

I'm pretty good with remembering that I'm just reading a book, but not with this book.

I can't wait to finish this book and read the rest of the series.

I want to leave you with a quote on the front cover of Beautiful Creatures:

"Some loves are meant to be...Others are cursed."

ooooo, breathing taking.

There's something about this quote that gives me goosebumps.

I love it.

I hope you liked this Fancy Friday post.
