Current Obsessions #3

It's that time of week again!  I have quite a mixture of things to share with y'all, so let's get started!


My Lilly Pulitzer Jumbo Planner finally arrived!  The design is amazing, the inside pages make me so happy, and it gives me enough room to plan everything.  This is a HUGE planner.  I had the medium-sized one last year, but found that I needed some more room to write things.  This is perfect, if a bit heavy.  The designs are cheeky and cute, and they get you excited for each month! Oh and bonus: there are stickers :)


I devoured The White Queen on Sunday, but I just had to share it with you guys!  I saw the White Queen show, fell in love with it, and decided to read the book.  I got it for $1 at a used book store (what a steal!), and having read Philippa Gregory before, I knew this book wouldn't disappoint.  It certainly didn't!  This follows the ambitious  Elizabeth during the time of the War of the Roses.  If you love any type of historical drama or historical fiction - acted on the screen or written in the pages - I highly recommend this!


I am in love with this ribbed infinity scarf!  It's what I call a "transition" scarf.  It's too heavy to wear during the summer, but too light to wear for winter.  So these transitional fall months are perfect to wear this knit piece!  The material feels wonderful against your skin, and I got it at J. Jill of all places.  I just happened to walk in there with my mom and fell in love with this scarf.  They have a few other neutral colors, but I thought that black would go with everything.  It's easy to throw on over any outfit, and it definitely keeps you warm!


I have been wearing this jumbo lip color  NONSTOP.  This is one of Tarte's LipSurgence Matte Lip Tints in the color Envy.  This matte shade is a berry color.  It goes on a bit sheer, as in you will be able to see a hint of your natural lip color shine through once you apply, but don't get me wrong: the color shows!  It just doesn't go on like a matte lipstick.  I think it's a perfect balance if you want a shimmer-free lip color but not a full-on matte lipstick.  


I am obsessed with L'Oreal's Color Riche Eyeshadow Quad in the shade Perfume ID.  I love purple eyeshadow, so I was naturally drawn to this specific quad.  I also loved this palette because you can do simple day looks as well as dramatic night looks with it, so there's definitely a versatility factor there.  And I can't even begin to explain how much I love the formula of these shadows.  I wore this for about 8 or 9 hours, and I'm not lying when I say that the color had not moved - at all.  The only thing I applied underneath the shadows was a primer.  My eyes looked exactly the same that night as when I applied them that morning.  I'm so excited to pick up more Color Riche Quads!!
