Summer Obsessions!

At the moment, I'm writing about my 'summer' obsessions and I glare out of my window only to see a gloomy city with grey clouds! I guess, it's unpredictable here. Nevertheless, I'm sharing with you guys my ultimate favorites of the season, ranging from apparels, beauty to books and movies. Summer for me is all about being carefree, comment down below what summer for you is! Let's get started with my obsessions :-)

> Beauty

#1 Makeup Revolution: Iconic Pro Blush, Bronze and Brighten smoulder
This product has got to be one of my all time favorite make up products. It is an all in one blush, bronzer and higlighter pallete in a mirrored compact which is perfect for a beginner like me. The highlighter in particular is my favorite because it isn't too bright and looks natural under the sun. I bought it in the shade "Flush" which is ideal for a light to medium Indian skin tone.




#2 Body shop: Tea tree flawless BB Cream
Yes, I have ranted about this product in my spring summer haul before, but I cannot not mention this product! I have used this as a base for almost all summer and simply love it's coverage, formula and pigmentation. 



#3 Estee Lauder lip gloss in the shade "Extravagant pink"
Being a complete matt person I wanted to experiment my lips this summer. I decided to bring the gloss back when I came across this shimmery pink lip gloss on the Estee Lauder counter and knew I had to get my hands on it! It is a very girly, yet natural shade and is super easy to apply.




#4 Maybelline NewYork white super fresh compact:
This product drives the summer oiliness and shine so well and keeps you fresh all day. You can literally carry this tiny mirrored compact with you and keep your makeup in place during this hot and sweaty days. It lasts super long and keeps your face looking fresh.





#5 Rose Water:



This has been a life saving summer hack to be honest. During summers I often faced issues of smelling sweaty and so to avoid foul smell I tried this hack. I basically add a few drops of rose water into my bucket and this helps me smell fresh for the day. It has multiple beauty uses as well and I'm going to try them soon.

> Hair

#1 BBlunt: Intense Moisturize conditioner for seriously dry hair
My hair has been going through quite a turmoil this season. With insane amount of hairfall and dryness I switched to the BBlunt conditioner as my sister is gaga over it and felt an incredible amount of change. Must have for this transitioning summer season.



#2 Loreal:
 Wild Stylers by Techniart
Beach waves are a must, must, must have for summer. As I have really wavy/curly hair, I am often too lazy to style them with heat appliances. Instead, I like to spray this on for a sea salt spray effect and I am good to go. Not gonna lie, it does damage my hair a bit, nevertheless I love the finished look.



> Clothes & Shoes

#1 Forever 21:
 While I was shopping for college I bought loads of casual tops and decided to include two of my favorites in this post. This one is a casual mid waist cropped top. It reads "mind over matter" and looks great with a pair of dark washed high waist denims.




#2 Topshop: 
For a person who adores bohemian styles and intricate embroidery, I bought this top which is giving me serious music festival vibes. 




#3 Forever 21 tan block heels:
 Tan has been my favorite color this season. I really wanted comfortable heels in this particular shade and I'm so glad to having been able to find it. Can't wait to style them in more different ways.

> Movies, books & TV shows

#1 Mood for the day: Korean movies and dramas have really gotten me hooked this summer so I thought of including some in this post! This movie is a very light hearted romantic comedy and is oh-so-cute.

           

#2 Me Before you: Of course, you all have heard about this one and being an emotional lovey-dovey girl I just had to write about his one. I prefer the book, but nevertheless the film was breathtaking. 

               

#3 The kite Runner: I am very late to discover Khaled Hosseini, but I am glad I did because it is never too late. This book gave me so much inspiration all throughout summer and I wouldn't mind reading it all over again. One of the best fiction books you'll ever read!



#4 Ram Chandra Series: I was always a no - mythology person until I read this book. I can't put down this book and it is so well written. A must read this summer. Can't wait to finish the three part series!



#5 Home and Away: One of my must do this summer was watch this Australian Drama TV show called home and away. It is so awfully good and deals with relationships on a different level. If you're looking for a new TV show, try this one you won't regret it.

Top 5 favorite books

No, I am not an avid reader, but having said that when I am in a mood especially during these vacations when I barely have any work to do I love indulging in books. My choice of books is very "commercial" and it is mostly confined to fiction, short stories and autobiographies. Here are my top five favorites! 

#5 Open by Andre Agassi




Being a sports fan picking this book up from a shelf in crossword and finishing it in a very short time was not quite a surprise for me. Andre Agassi is a tennis legend and reading his autobiography which gives an insight into his professional as well as personal life taught me a lot. If you're like me and have a flair for reading sports books, then this is an absolute must-read. 


#4 Five point someone by Chetan Bhagat




This book is arguably one of my favorite Chetan Bhagat books. Having read all, I felt relatable to this one. The story revolves around three engineering students and how their life takes a toll when they join an engineering college. Intense, sad, funny and romantic it has all these elements. The movie 3 idiots was adapted from this book although, the stories are not completely same. 

#3 Urban shots




For someone who has been living in a metropolitan city for over 15 years, "Urban shots" is a classic must-read. Written by 13 different writers, the book consists of 29 urban tales. Every story strikes a cord in your heart. It is divided into different sections such as 'love' 'angst' etc which makes it even more compelling as there is a tale for every emotion, feeling and mood. 

#2 The magic by Rhonda Byrne




Sometimes, all you need to change your life is a book. This is my mother's favorite book and she forcibly made me read it. Finally after many years I am reading it. Although I haven't yet finished reading it I can already feel the effect of it on me. "If you don't believe in magic, you will never find it!" Well, you might find it in this book.

#1 The girl on the train by Paula Hawkins

                                                    

This book is my most recent read and honestly, I couldn't lift my eye off this book. This book is very well written in a diary form from the perspective of three women. Not going to give out any spoilers, but if you want to indulge in a quintessential suspense thriller, give this one a shot. Also, I am super pumped up because a movie with the same title is coming out soon starring Emily Blunt, how exciting!
