February Favorites 2016 (。’▽’。)♡



Oh wow...goodbye February~!
Just an other month went by...it's scary~~ Anyways, here are the favorites of the month! As I promised, I'm on my second month and haven't forgot! haha.
I honestly don't think I have too many faves this month but, 3,2,1 here we go!

♥ Makeup


I went back to my old love for L.A. Colors Nail Polishes! The last one I bought is the "Sheer Beige" polish and I think it is super pretty to wear on every season since it looks so clean and classy. I love pastels and bright polishes but I truly believe you can't go wrong with neutrals. I even been using it along with brighter colors and it looks just great! So many ways to combine this color. Big thumbs up!
Next is a lip gloss! Yeah, I am not a big fan of lip glosses but, my friend Liz gave me this super bright kinda neon-ish pink gloss and I have to admit It's more like a recent favorite but it's still February so...yeah. It is the Pure Color lips gloss in the color 6287 (which is supposed to be a 24hrs gloss). Honestly it is my first time using this brand, Idk any other products from it but I can tell the gloss is super duper long lasting! The stain on my hand stayed for a while even after washing it!
It doesn't have any smell, it's not too thick and it doesn't actually have a very glossy finish (big yay) and it dries kinda fast but the color stays. The two things I don't like about it would be that 1: if you have super dry lips (like me) you'd need to apply some chapstick before applying the gloss or the chaped lips will show. And 2: Eben tho it dries on the lips, it kinda has this sticky feel to it and...I just don't like that.
At first I thought the color was too bright for me but, I decided this will be  a year about daring and yeah, that also works for makeup! Haha. I think it'll be a good color for Spring.



oopss! Dry lips~~


♥ Apps
Apps are rarely on my favorites cuz to be honest, I'm not much of an app person. I'm not even that much of a high tech person so...yeah. But, a few months ago, my good friend Airi (AKA the little sis) told me about this app called "Plant Nanny" which is an app that helps you to drink the right amount your body needs while you take care of a cute, virtual plant. I've always had trouble drinking water~ and this year I wanted to start doing healthier stuff so, why not downloading the app and see what happens?
The amount of water is based on your actual weight. Everytime you drink a bottle (in my case) you have to give water to your pant too. That way you both will stay healthy and hydrated. Honestly I haven't managed to drink the 4 bottles I'm supposed to drink a day but I'm always around 2 - 2 1/2 which is a lot more than I used to drink before the app.
At first it was a little confusing but once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to use.
Plus, the plants are so cute and they grow as you take care of them. (I have to admit I'm not the best mom, sometimes I forget about them!) So far I have two and they are my babies now! Hehe.
So I really think this app can be helpful as long as you don't foget about the plant. It has worked for me so, I really recommend it.

My first plant Mochi! Happy to say she survived under my care.

♥ Places
There is this place downtown called "La Vendimia." It is a Gourmet Food Market and I've been loving it! To start with, the place is actually pretty nice, you can find different types of food (Thai, Japanese, Italian, Mexican...), desserts, coffee, bubble tea and the whole vibe to it is really nice. There is also a bar upstairs if you feel like staying late for a drink. I haven't really tried all the food they have but I can tell I loved the Italian SO much, Thai wasn't my fave and desserts are deffo worth it. I will try a lot more and maybe make a separate post with a mini review?

♥ Music
Rainbow just released their 4th mini album "Prism" and since they are one of my fave girls groups I was super excited about them having a comeback. The first single "Whoo" is a very "happy" song for me. It puts me in a good moos as soon as I listen to it. Once I heard the rest of the album, I liked it and I've been playing it over and over.





That is it for this month! Hope you find this somewhat helpful! Let me know your favorites and if you decide to give a try to one of the stuff mentioned here.
Until next time!
