Desperately Seeking Bookworm

I enjoy you Lauren Weisberger, not as much as Jane Green, but you're up there. There's something just so effortless about reading chick lit. I especially enjoy an easy book that reads like a screenplay or a movie and this definitely did. Besides it's only a matter of time before this gets made into a movie,(because every book does nowadays). I think Olivia Munn would be perfect for this role, just putting that out there Hollywood. Overall this book hooked me at the first chapter and kept me interested to the end. Sometimes with books like this I get bored about halfway through, but not here. Charlotte “Charlie” Silver has always been a good girl. She excelled at tennis early, coached by her father, a former player himself, and soon became one of the top juniors in the world. When she leaves UCLA—and breaks her boyfriend’s heart—to turn pro, Charlie joins the world’s best athletes who travel eleven months a year, competing without mercy for Grand Slam titles and Page ...

I'm pretty sure this will be made into a movie soon, I can just feel it. I also have a feeling that it won't turn out too well. It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace. Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds long since stitched. The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works at the town bar; and Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing. Told backwards—Day 15 to Day 1—from the time Annaleise goes missing, Nic works to unravel the truth about her young...

When I signed up for Sephora Play! I expected this to be my bae, but it really hasn't turned out that way. This box is more like a friend's with benefits, I like it when we're together, but it's not really what I need long-term.  I feel like this box is becoming rather disappointing. There was a repeat item (KVD liner) and even though I didn't receive this previously in a box I can understand how that is frustrating for some long-term customers. In other words Sephora needs to start rethinking how they're going to play this out because I can see us heading down a bad path. Just saying. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel (Full-size $22): I own and currently use this. In fairness I bought a full-size last year during Ulta's Steals & Deals, at half price which is the only price I suggest buying it at. Brow gel does not need to be that expensive, especially a clear one. While it's a nice product, it isn't worth the price. Invest in something else...

After last month's box I had higher hopes for September's Allure. Unfortunately when spoilers came out I was #notimpressed. There is so much repetition in subscription boxes and I would like to see that change. That might be my fault though since I subscribe to 2 currently and some have repeat products. I appreciate getting new brands and Allure doesn't really send out new brands. Let's just say if I get another Pur-lisse item in my box next month I won't be surprised. Would it kill you to send something else out Allure?? Pur- lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk (Full-size $38): Please Allure, no more of this! This is my fourth Blue Lotus line item in the 4 months I've been subscribed to this box. While I'm happy to be able to get to try something that is on the more expensive side/something I don't have immediate access too, but I'm over it. I've used cleansing milks/balms in the past, so I know the drill. These are good to remove mak...
