Day 30 – Your Favorite Theme Park Show

Finally made it to the last day of the challenge! My current favorite is World of Color at CA Adventure. I have yet to see their updated show and the new parade in Disneyland.

Day 29 – Your Favorite Theme Attraction

I try to visit Disneyland/CA Adventure at least once a year if I can. No visit is complete without going on Radiator Springs Racers in Cars Land, whether it’s by myself or with friends.

Confessions of a (Former) M.A.C.-aholic

This post had been brewing for quite some time. I was finally able to pull it together after semi-purging some beauty items last weekend. I gave my collection a photo shoot last Monday, and I can now present it to you. When introduced to M.A.C. during the time I was in college, I became one among many fans of the brand and tried to stay informed of any new products they had. When I had a steady part time job, I purchased items at least once a month. Then I became interested in certain collections and had to get at least 1 thing from them. Sure enough, everything started adding up, and I had to slow myself down. I didn’t really need all of these products, and sadly, I haven’t used most of them in years. I wanted to document what remains of my collection before I continue with my cosmetics purge (some items had already been disposed of or given away prior to this post). Pardon the overload of photos!

I’m interested to see your brand hauls, so feel free to link me to them in the comments.

Day 28 – Your Favorite Theme Park

I’ve actually been to both Disneyland and Disney World. Call me biased if you will since I live in CA, but I’ll always put Disneyland first.

I got love for CA Adventure too!

Day 27 – Your Favorite Quote

I liked this one from Edna Mode in The Incredibles. There’s no problem with looking back at the past, but there’s not much use in dwelling on it.

Day 26 – Saddest Death

The saddest one I remember seeing was that of Mufasa in The Lion King, at the hands of his evil brother Scar.

ipsy September Glam Bag – Face Fashion

This month’s bag featured products that would make a great transition to Fall.

What’s in my bag?

City Color Cosmetics City Chic in One Night Stand – This shade is a medium bright pink, which is sorta out of my comfort zone when it comes to lip products. Sure enough, it was exactly that when I put it on. I managed to tone down the color a bit by adding a layer of dark berry gloss over it. The formula isn’t drying and lasts quite a while.

Eau Thermale Avene Soothing Moisture Mask – I wasn’t expecting too much from this mask. It felt like a thick moisturizer going on. After a few minutes, it’s removed with a cotton pad, per the directions. I just hopped in the shower instead. It left my face smooth.

NYX Cosmetics ipsy Eye Shadow Trio – NYX has yet to stir me wrong with their products. This mini palette of neutral shadows is great to use any time of the day. I used the lightest shade all over the lid, followed by he middle in the crease, then lined my upper lash line with the black.

Temptu S/B Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer – I almost thought I was getting a dupe from a past bag, but noticed it was a different shade and in a larger container. I dabbed a little above my cheeks and in the center of my nose. Not bad!

Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in Elegantly Wasted – I was surprised to receive this because I had thought I didn’t request nail polish to be in my bags anymore. Regardless of that, I actually don’t mind the shade.

Coverage after 1 coat.

From top to bottom: City Color lipstick in One Night Stand, NYX ipsy shadow trio, Temptu S/B Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer. Left side – Natural light. Right side – Room light.

4 out of 5 items get a thumbs up! I’ve re-taken their product quiz once again to see if I’ll be receiving anything different in future bags.

Day 25 – Your Favorite Scene From Your Favorite Movie

For this one, I chose a scene from Monsters, Inc. Boo finally musters up the courage to face Randall, the monster that’s been scaring her, when he threatens Sully.

Day 24 – A Movie That Makes You Cry

This one was too easy! I bet anyone who’s watched Up! did not get through the first few minutes of the movie without feeling some kind of way. Instant tear jerker for me.

Tagged – I Love Fall

Found this tag on FunLovintravelers‘ blog and wanted to do it as well. I haven’t been so happy to have fall arrive as I am this year. Summer was great. At times way too hot, but nevertheless great. Glad to finally see cooler temperatures and have an excuse to bring out the light jackets and sweaters.

What is your favorite fall lip product? Most definitely regular lip balm. The cold weather tends to dry up my lips.

What is your favorite fall nail polish (or what nail polish would you like to try)? Don’t have a particular shade in mind, but I may bring out my berry toned ones and use them in addition to my usual neutrals.

What is your favorite fall Starbucks drink? It’s usually been a Pumpkin Spice Latte in past years, but I’m really liking their Salted Caramel Mocha. *edit* Their Toasted Graham Latte is my fall fave!

What’s your favorite fall candle? Anything vanilla.

What’s your favorite fall scarf or accessories? I’ll probably be wearing my black infinity or black and white plaid scarf often.

Haunted house, Haunted hay ride, or haunted corn maze? How’s about a good ol’ trip to a pumpkin patch?! I’d settle for that.

What’s your favorite Halloween movie? It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

What’s your favorite candy to eat on Halloween? The same one I like to eat all year round. Kit Kat!

What are you dressing up as on Halloween? I have a possible idea in mind. We’ll see if I can get some of the pieces ordered in time.

What is your favorite thing about fall? Walking through crunchy leaves and the way the air smells during the season.
