Hello guys, this is Heidi.
Thank you for tuning in to my monthly favorites series once again.
In this series,
I share about anything which has made a
positive impact in my life over the past month,
be it for the long term or short term.
These favorites can include books, quotes, films,
food, skin care products, make up, household items,
and just anything under the sun
which i feel is worth sharing!
My first two February favorites are these two
Morphe pro eyeshadow palettes.
The first palette which I got is this 35 Color Warm Palette.
This palette has almost all
of my favorite eyeshadow colors,
which are all shades of brown,
golden, pink, purple and black.
Since there's such a huge array of everyday colors,
you can definitely create both natural
and dramatic looks with just this palette alone.
The second Morphe palette which I got
is this 35 Color Glam one.
Clearly, this is not your to-go palette
for everyday natural looks,
but since it has all the rainbow colors
in both matte and shimmery shades,
and they are super gorgeous as well.
I think this is the perfect palette for beginners
who want to just experiment with bolder looks.
I bought these two palettes for twenty-three dollars each,
so they are definitely on the more affordable spectrum.
Their eye shadows are very long wearing,
and they blend pretty smoothly.
However, the pigmentation depends on the shade itself.
For example, i love this golden shade
because it's super pigmented.
In contrast, these few colors are not very pigmented.
But overall,
considering the price, as well as the number of shades available,
I would definitely recommend the Morphe palettes!
The love of Siam
has successfully entered my list of ultimate favorite movies.
As you can tell from the title, it's a Thai movie.
But i watched it on bilibili.com,
which was introduced to me by my roomie, Nicole,
so thank you so much!
I just browsing through the list of movies
because i had no idea what to watch,
when I saw Mario Maurer (oh my god, he's so cute).
So anyway, I saw Mario Maurer,
and I immediately clicked on the movie,
not thinking much into it,
because i thought it's just some innocent, cliche, teenage romance movie.
But who knew,
I got increasingly confused as the movie progressed.
It turns out that this movie is about universal love:
love within the family, love among friends,
and love regardless of gender.
i'm just going to provide a really short summary of the movie.
So there (are) these two little boys,
called Mew and Tong.
The two of them were neighbors,
but they became good friends when Tong saved Mew
from a group of bullies who were teasing Mew for being feminine.
Unfortunately, Tong's family tragedy began
when his sister, Tang, went missing
during a hike with her friends.
The father took all the blame,
and developed alcoholic depression.
Tong's family then moved away, leaving Mew broken hearted.
Mew eventually became the main vocalist
for a pretty well-known band,
and the two of them -- Mew and Tong --eventually met.
Okay, so meanwhile, Mew has a female neighbor
who is madly in love with Mew.
But Mew has absolutely no interest in her.
On the other hand,
Tong's relationship with his girlfriend was also pretty unstable.
So in this movie, we witness
how Tong's family dealt with the father's alcoholic depression,
how Mew and Tong
coped with their feelings for each other,
as well as how Ying eventually accepted reality,
and decided to help Tong, her supposed rival.
Okay, at this moment,
I'm going to tell you that the ending of this movie
isn't the happiest,
but I wouldn't say that it's sad.
It's the kind that's neither sad nor happy,
but I would say that it's pretty positive.
This is a really touching movie that put me to tears for the longest time ever,
especially with the family drama,
sacrifice on Ying's part,
and the hopeless love between Mew and Tong.
I swear I didn't expect it, so I was on my bed,
without any tissue and mental preparation.
When it came to the scene
where the father started developing alcoholic depression,
which was barely 30 minutes into the movie, I started bawling.
And because I watched it at 2am in the morning,
I was so tired, so sad,
that I cried myself to sleep.
I'm a real sucker for movies that include touching scenes
involving parents, old people, and...
okay, I'm just a real sucker for touching movies.
There are a lot of innuendos,
and I love innuendos, so
if you are unsure of where or what they are,
feel free to ask me!
I can be really nerdy, and I'm a huge fan of Tedtalks,
so I have two Tedtalks favorites to recommend to you guys.
The first one is called "Prison of (your) mind,"
which Daniel showed me,
so thank you so much Daniel,
I'm not sure if you're watching this,
but if you are, thank you.
This talk basically tells us
how everything is in our head,
and describe how we are the ones who trap ourselves in our minds,
also known as the prison.
The second Tedtalk which I absolutely loved
is called "What happens when we reply to spam email."
This talk isn't that much of a
deep and meaningful talk,
it's just plain hilarious.
Seriously, it's super funny!
I watched it in the morning, and it's seriously made my day,
it had me lmao-ing throughout the whole video.
I will not touch on the details for these talks,
because they're pretty short,
so you can just watch if you are interested.
I also have two favorite habits as of now.
The first one is watching Tedtalks
in the morning while applying make up,
since you don't really have to plant yourself
in front of the desk in order to absorb knowledge.
I will usually alternate between
listening to music and watching Tedtalks
in the morning.
My second favorite habit is actually tracking down my mood.
I briefly mentioned this in my February Favorites,
bleh?
in my January Favorites video before.
It's recommended to me by my counselor.
There's no particular reason for doing this,
I feel like it just helps me
to be more aware, and...
also adds a closure to the day.
I only have one fashion favorite of the month,
and that's this choker.
I've been rocking it almost everyday,
because I feel like it just kicks your outfit up a notch,
even though all you did
is really just to put on this necklace.
Like the rest of your outfit
can be really minimal, can be really simple,
but once you wear this, you look hip!
I've gotten a lot of compliments for this,
so thank you so much everybody.
And my last favorite is a shop, which is...
deng deng deng, Goodwill!
I've never be the Goodwill before, but gosh,
it did not let me down at all.
i just uploaded a Goodwill Try-On Haul,
so I'll include the link over here,
it should probably slide out,
so you can just check it out from there.
That's all of my February favorites.
Feel free to share what are your favorites of the month,
I'd love to know more movies, or books,
or whatever that you guys are loving.
As usual, I hope you enjoyed this video.
Have an amazing month ahead! I love you guys,
and I'll see you soon! Bye!
