Best of August

Hello everyone :)

This is my very first monthly favorites post! I hope you enjoy it, let's get started.

Not only that a new week has started, it's finally a new month! Summer is nearly over, so it's time to say goodbye to shorty shorts and summer dresses. Nevertheless I'm super excited for fall, since fall is one of my favorite seasons when it comes to fashion. It's the perfect time for lovely cosy sweaters, pretty warm colors, boots and super long knitted scarfs. August was a tough month for me. As you know, I went on vacation to vietnam to visit my family. Saying goodbye was the worst.. anyways, on the 5th August my school started again and I was finally able to see my friends again. "New year, new goal"! It's my senior year, last school year, last year being together with my all schoolmates. It'll be tough though. Whatever, if you believe you can do anything. On to the new month yeah! Okay, let me show you the products that I've loved throughout this toughy lovely month.

Fashion of the month

I have to say, I really enjoyed wearing flower patterned clothes and laces. Overall, I love pastel colors, so I kept my clothes quiet fresh, creamy colored and light. My school outfits were basically just long black trousers or leggings with loose shirts. Since the weather was sometimes literally killing me with 30°C I had no other choice but wear cute summer dresses. Of course they were flower patterned again, or with laces. You may think now that I'm crazy wearing long bottoms on hot summer days! Obviously I indeed did were shorts too! But I just really missed my comfortable long trousers since I wore shorts 5 weeks long on my vacation! 

For my summer accessories and hair styles, I really loved wearing a reaally thin fabric loop scarf from H&M. I loved this scarf so much, I pretty much wore it every day. But unfortunately I lost mine when I went shopping with my friend.. I left it in the dressing room. I'm honestly really sad, and I hope I can find the same one in h&m again, cause I bought it a while ago. For hair styles I just really liked putting my hair into a pony tail or a bun since it was really warm. Sometimes I braided my hair into a fishtail braid and paired the hair style with an other casual shorts-loose shirt-flats style.

(Left) Favorite summer scent. My favorite perfume through summer has to be the "La Perla" by Divina $48 / 39,99€. I got this from my beloved mama for christmas last year. La Perla has a seductive, elegant and sophisticated fragrance which doesn't have a too strong scent and is just perfect for a nighty night out. It's pretty much a fusion of sweet strawberry, orange, pear and champagne. But over all it's smells sweet, fruity and rosy.. If you like sweet, fresh scents, this one is perfect for you. Another random thing I noticed and love about this perfume -> So, my birth name is Ngoc Linh Phung. The meaning of my name is "pure pearl". The funny thing is, the perfumes name is "La Perla" which means "the pearl". Noticed? Hehe. Also, the initials of the perfumes name "LP", which is also signed on the cap of the perfume bottle, are my initials too! LP = Linh Phung (shorter version). That's so funny and random, I can't even.. Hehehe

(Right) Few days ago I went to the Chanel make-up boutique and picked up this super super gorgeous lipstick! To be honest I'm so lazy to put on make-up when I go to school. So when I'm in the mood I just pop on some concealer and a liptint. Since I've got my super gorgeous lipstick which is just perfect for end of the summer, especially in putting up your mood when you're so down because of waking up for school lol. The lipstick has a slightly shimmer touch to it, the color is a peachy orangy color which really brightens up basically everything. Such a happy color! 

Chanel Rouge Coco Collection in Color: Sari Doré 76 34$ / 29,95€

 

(Left) So my face got really really dry lately, that my skin fell into a bad breakout.. and I tried so many products but none worked for me until my mum told me about this magic creme! This is by far the best moisturizer I've ever tried! Even though my face hasn't recover completely yet I can definitely see a positive change on my skin. I'm not really sure, but I think my mum got this in a local drugstore (Germany). The moisturizer has natural extracts of the water lily with totally 0% of mineral oils, silicones, color pigments and animal ingredients. Since it is a german brand I'm not sure where you can get this if you have the same problem as me.. but I will look it up for you and do an other blogpost if I found it somewhere to order or something similar to it. CD Feuchtigkeitscreme Wasserlilie 3,59€

(Right) Because of summer hot days my face got really oily on the T-zone area, this compact powder by Tony Moly really helped me controlling this problem! This is the Tony Moly Oriental Gyeol Goun Two-Way Pact SPF 48 Pa+++ & BB Cream SPF 46 PA++ and it's really one of the best compact powders besides some other ones I love (I'll do a separate post about it). It doesn't make my face look cakey at all.  And the fact that the powder has SPF 48 PA+++ is most probably the coolest thing ever! If you feel curious and if you want me to do a review on it, let me know in the comment section below.

 

To end my day, I like to drink a cup of pure green tea in my lovely berry mug I got from my best friend. Isn't this mug so cute? Not only that it looks so adorable, it's the perfect size for my tea, if that makes sense? Hehe. So to end this posty post I'd like to wish you all a joyful, happy month! See yall in the next post..

With that said, paaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii! x)
