August Favourites

It has been forever since I last did a monthly favourites and I'm trying to get back into blogging after a hectic few months. I'm going to try to post at least two times a month not including favourites or update posts), hopefully three being ambitious. So to get back into the groove of things, a month favourites post is an easily starting point.


Gaming

Been playing Animal Crossing New Horizons on and off. I tend to play more on my days off when I have more time and only quickly some days just to search for DIYs. The snow finally melted thank heavens cause I was way over it. I've also decided to redo my town as I wasn't the biggest fan of it's layout in recent days. My town wasn't entirely finished luckily so it wasn't hard to tear everything down. Still thinking about what to do so it's a mess currently of large open spaces and billions of flower. Here's a cute picture of Eugene hanging out at the town plaza!



Beauty

Gotten back into nail polish in recent months and found some new favourites. Years ago when I used to do my nails all the time, my go to was Complete Salon Manicure from Sally Hansen but it seems they don't really do that line anymore. I only use Sally Hansen nail products so I decided to try out the Insta-Dri as it seems to be the closest replacement to Complete Salon. I picked up these Jelly Belly collection ones on sale and I actually really like the formula! It does dry very quickly and has good coverage on the nails with only two coats. The two glitter polishes are nice when you figured out how to apply it properly, I've got the Tutti Fruitti glitter polish (second from the left) on currently and I was able to set it in the glitter flakes quite well with the Insta-Dri top coat. Looks great so far after two days but the test will be once I go back to work this week and see if it holds up against manual work all day.



Music

Geez I feel I could write an entire post on my music favourites this month because there are so many! I haven't been buying many CD's this year as shipping is difficult currently with COVID restrictions. I did however get BLACKPINK's How You Like That single from JB Hi-Fi so that was exciting to get a new K-Pop release. Don't have any photos of that one on hand but I can tell you that it is a large single and the tallest one in my collection so it was tricky to fit into my shelf.

Here's a quick rundown of some of favourite songs this month which has mainly been J-Pop ones. Been on a bit of a old school J-Pop binge lately and discovered some great new songs to listen to. I really shouldn't do this to myself because it only adds more CD's to my wishlist that I'd love to own one day haha.

E-Girls E.G. Time - Album Review (CD+DVD Edition)

When people ask me who my favourite music artist is, I always say E-Girls. Now most people have no clue who E-Girls are and then I have to spend 10 minutes explaining the concept of the group and why it has so many members. I've been a fan of the group for a few years now but only got seriously into collecting their discography in the last year. A while ago, I received a copy of E.G. Time which was the first album that got me interested in the group. So now it's time to review this amazing album!



E.G. Time is the third full album released by Japanese girl group E-Girls. It was released in 2015 in five editions: CD+3Bluray, CD+3DVD, CD+Bluray, CD+DVD and CD Only. The limited edition editions included a bonus remix CD and a photo book was included in the 3Bluray/3DVD editions. I purchased the CD+DVD edition and it was the Taiwan release which was a bit cheaper than the normal Japanese CD+DVD edition . This edition comes with the following:
  • CD - 15 Track Album
  • DVD - Containing MV's and COLORFUL LAND 2014 Document Movie.
  • OBI
  • Lyrics Booklet
  • Taiwanese Lyrics Booklet


The front cover of E.G. Time has a girl wearing a 1950's/Varsity style outfit that features the E-Girls logos. The CD+DVD edition has a green colour theme and other editions have other colour schemes. Alternative covers were available exclusively in Japan that feature all the girls in the group. The back cover has a fun rainbow design and the contents of both the CD and DVD are listed. The CD and DVD have an interesting geometric style design on them and match the colourful scheme of the album.

J-Pop Albums - E-girls, Dream Ami & AOA

Ordered some J-Pop albums recently from YesAsia and they arrived today! The ones I brought were AOA's Runway album, Dream Ami's Lovefool - Sukidatte Itte single and E-girls' E.G. Time album. I've had my eyes on the E-Girls album for a while and finally brought it. Both the AOA and E-girls' albums are the Taiwanese versions as they came with the bonus DVD and were a good price. The Dream Ami single has the most gorgeous packaging and came with the sleeve packaging which I love because it keeps the albums in great condition when storing them.



I will post some reviews on all theses albums soon as well as AOA's Angel's Knock which I received recently also with After School's Dress To Kill album. I've already done a review of Dress To Kill and spoiler alert - it's amazing.
