The Return of Friday Fascinations!

If any of you followed my old blog, you'll know that I started doing a thing (or trying to) where, every Friday, I'd go over some of my favorite things of the week. Well, that is one feature I have decided to carry over! I love talking about/sharing my latest obsessions. Who knows? Is it one of these you're looking for?

So, without further ado, let the re-debut of Friday Fascinations on this, my blog, begin!

Miss Me?


Of course every Sherlock fan who heard about this was freaking out. On the one hand, we get a special, so that's like 4 episodes in a season instead of three, or thirty percent more Sherlock this season! 

On the other hand, it doesn't start shooting until freaking 2015/next. year. 

As Jess so accurately put, well, Anglophile fan life: "I'm going to get gray hairs waiting for the BBC."

Benefit "they're real!" push-up liner

I bought this on a (somewhat splurge-y) whim at Ulta when Jess and I discovered we were low on our usual mutual fave to which she introduced me when we first met. 

Now, I still love/will continue to buy Avon glimmersticks. They are probably my favorite line of eyeliner I have ever owned. The only reason I even tried this other one in the first place is: 

1. Our local Avon store was closed until July 11 "due to illness." This is why we went to Ulta in the first place; Jess was completely out of her basic colors and I was nearly there. I can't leave the house without eyeliner. 

2. Utah summers are hot and unforgiving. And we have a wimpy A/C. And my face melts eyeliner like a nuclear core or some such frakkery.



That being said, this new Benefit eyeliner is seriously amazing, especially for hot summer mornings when I don't have a ton of time to do my eyeliner. 
I can do my eyeliner in one minute with this product, so I highly recommend it if:

  • You're like me and you can't stand to leave the house without eyeliner
  • (Again, like me) You find mornings difficult and have such a healthy relationship with your snooze button that you don't always give yourself enough time to get ready
  • You love wing eyes/cat eyes!

"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor

I found this song while randomly scrolling Tumblr one night and it is my new favorite. Ms. Trainor has a pleasant voice, plus the song is peppy and upbeat. ALL THAT and it has such a body-positive message!


Favorite line? "Every Inch of you is Perfect From the Bottom to the Top"

What are y'all wild about lately? I'd love to hear/give it a try, so comment below!
