5 Favourites of January

Welcome to a new post!

I can't believe that January is already over and also the first month of 2016! It hasn't been my favourite month, but I do have a few favourites to show you, so I picked 5 things that I have loved in January.

Here's a quick overlook of the things that I actually own, and that I have loved using this month. Some of them you might have seen already on this blog, but I thought I would talk about them anyway, as I truly am obsessed with them, and want to share my honest opinion with you.

This is one of my newest babies which I treated myself to with the vouchers that I got for my Birthday and Christmas. I have wanted this lipstick for literally forever and every time I went to the MAC counter it was sold out, but then I ordered it and I am so happy I can finally call it my own. 

It's the MAC lipstick in the colour 'Syrup'. Lily Pebbles had been talking about this for a quite a while, and I always loved that colour on her, and even more when I googled for swatches. It is different to any other colour of lipstick that I own, as it is pink and natural, but the hint of a red makes it look absolutely stunning. Since it's a lustre finish, it doesn't stay on quite as long as my other MAC one, but the colour and look in general are so perfect that it personally doesn't really bother me that much. 

This is probably the most perfect lipstick for me, and the best purchase I could have made, I feel like!

Next up is another product that I only got recently, but you will probably already be bored of hearing about. But the Urban Decay Naked 1 has been my go to eyeshadow palette ever since I have got it. I was never really the person to wear many shimmery shades, but this palette has made me fall completely in love with them. I won't talk about this for ages again, so let's just say that my favourite and most used shades are Naked, Buck, Half Baked, Smog and Hustle.

I bought myself my first EOS lipbalm right when they first came out in Germany. I went for the strawberry flavour. To be honest, I don't think that they are completely worth the price, as they aren't really that moisturizing for it. They are alright, don't get me wrong, but not as good as some people make them sound. I do however love the taste of this one, and so I have loved using it this month, whenever I needed a tiny bit of moisture, and not a lot.

You also have seen my Kindle before, which I got for my birthday. I have been reading a lot more since I got it, and I love it so much as it relaxes me a lot! If you would like to know everything that I have read this month on here, let me know, and I'll give you another blogpost about it. :)

Last but not least, you probably already know that I love watching series, and I also talked about other obsessions of mine here and here, if you would like to read more about that. 

I already talked about How to Get Away with Murder, so I am going to only talk about revenge today. 

I started this series right after I finished the other one, as it has been on my list for quite a while as well. I've seen quite a few people on twitter talking about it, and I completely see why. 

The story follows Emily Thorne, who's actual name is Amanda Clarke. Her father died for something he didn't do, and now she is taking revenge on everyone that made this happen. 

Pretty short summary I know, but trust me it's amazing. I wasn't really the biggest fan of season 3, but I finished season 4 last night, and I absolutely loved it! I personally think season 4 is the best one, even if it's the last one, and the last episode was probably my favourite of all!

I feel like this kind of the more real and grown up version of Pretty Little Liars, so if you like that and you are looking for a new series, check it out! It's amazing!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Tell me some of your favourites this month, and any recommendations you can give me. :)

Love, Jacqueline Xx

New Obsession: How to Get Away with Murder

Welcome to a new post!

I definetely took my own advice in what to do during your winter break, at least in some points, so I basically started a new tv series. I hated not being able to start a new one during exam time, and now I finally took the chance to have some time for a new one.

After I caught up with all of the ones that I already watch which I didn't allow myself during exam time either, I got out my list of recommended tv series that kinda sounded interesting, so I decided to start 'How to Get Away with Murder'.

The first episode was shown at the end of 2014 in the USA so I am not that late, I guess.

I will try to make this as spoiler free as possible, but please don't kill me if there are any, because I really am quite obsessed with it. It took me less than 48 hours to watch the whole one and a half seasons that are up now - that is how obsessed I am.

The series is about Annalise Keating who is a law professor at a University and a very popular criminal defense attorney. She selects the 5 best students at the beginning of the new term to work for her at her office, which are Wes Gibbins, Connor Walsh, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone, and Laurel Castillo. They don't know yet that they will soon have to take what they learned in class and use it in reality. They work together with her and her assistants Frank and Bonnie. Each episode follows another case of murder which they try to help Annalise win, who does everything to be the best at her job, but during season 1 there are also two main murders that create drama in the series. The one of a student named Lila and the one of Annalise's husband Sam.

Wow that was probably the worst summary I have ever made, and you probably think it's even more boring now than you thought at the beginning. Sorry for that :D.

I am usually not the person that likes this crime stuff and series that include murders, but to be honest this has really grabbed me. There is just something about Viola Davis's way to play Annalise that makes it so interesting, and it is definetely a series that I haven't seen out there yet, because it usually is a story about students OR and story about murders and an attorney or whatever.

It is so interesting from the beginning on because not only do you get to know the characters but also you have got little flashforwards which you aren't really able to put together what they are supposed to tell you, but that is something that makes you want to see more.

If I had to decide what series you could compare it to, I don't think I could come up with one in particular. I would say though that it is kind of the 'harder' version of Pretty Little Liars maybe, just without the usual girly stuff and more...uhm..dirty stuff. But please don't cross it from your list just because you don't like Pretty Little Liars, because it is still very different!

I really wish there would be more up already of season 2 because I really need to know how the story goes on. I am so hooked and I don't even know when the next episode will be up and it is literally killing me because it is so good! Guys seriously, if you are meant to study for biology, create a presentation or draw a picture for school - DO NOT START THIS SERIES.
I am so sorry I am really getting weird right now, I think I just need some food. I better get going and leave you before I start talking about how good my favourite character of the series looks and we will drift off even more than I am already doing.

So, if you like law and crime stuff, I think this is definetely a series that you might want to check out. I would really recommend you go have a look at it, but be prepared to get hooked and stop thinking about the things you are meant to think about..like studying for example *cough*.

If you need some other recommendations for good tv series, you can check out one of my recent posts about my favourite tv series.

I feel really bad for this post to not be longer, because I feel like I could talk about it forever but I don't know what to say and write when I'm actually sitting there, so I am really sorry for that. I will try to get better.

Please give me your recommendations for some tv series because I really need some! I am currently watching 'Faking It', and I don't even know why because I don't really like it, especially since the last thing I watched was about law and tons of deaths so...yeah. Please give me all of your recommendations, I really need them!
