The Annual Fall Reread of Fantasy Novels (And How This Became a Tradition for Me)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For the past few years, I’ve been watching aesthetic themed YouTube videos. To be honest, I really wanted to watch these YouTube videos in order to offset the crazy, not-so-cozy life I live. The escapism these videos have provided for me has been a great relief during some of the hardest and most stressful times of my adult life.

In these videos, they talk about a fall aesthetic book suggestions. When I was a child in the 1990’s, prior to the rise of the internet aesthetic, friends of mine would talk about fall being the perfect time to read certain books. I didn’t think about celebrating a season by reading specific books (Except for Christmas, Easter, and other Christian holidays), but it did peak my interest. So, I started to read the books they did. Now, I can’t see the fall and Halloween season without them.

Unlike many people I found online that make fall aesthetic book suggestions, my books are not exactly the same. Many of the books I read are fantasy novels. Not horror books. Fantasy novels. Some of the novels my friends suggested to me were the Lord of the Rings series and The Chronicles of Narnia. Other books were The Chronicles of Prydain, The Last Unicorn, and, if I could find it, the novelizations of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal as well as the novelization of the movie Dragonheart.

Hempz Fall 2022 Skin Care at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I went back and forth about writing a post about Hempz’s Fall 2022 skincare. It’s not because of controversy around the Hemp Seed oil in the Hemp products, it’s because I’m allergic to Hemp Seed oil! I prefer to talk about products that I am not allergic to, so I didn’t know if writing about Hempz on my blog would be a wise idea. Despite this, Hempz is a well loved product in the area where I live. Once I saw Hempz’s Fall 2022 skincare line for sale at Ulta Beauty, I thought it would be a great time to write a post about it.

Dionis Fall 2022 Skin Care Line at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While looking at The Body Shop’s Fall products, I found a brand that looking interesting. It is Dionis and it sells skincare made with goat milk. I used goat milk products before, but I didn’t know the Ulta Beauty closest to me had products like this for sale. I don’t know if the reason is because they didn’t sell as well as other products in the store or because I didn’t pay enough attention while browsing the skincare aisles.

There were a few products available for sale that day in a limited edition fall scent, so I decided to see what they had to offer. Continue reading “Dionis Fall 2022 Skin Care Line at Ulta Beauty” →

At my local Ulta Beauty, there are still quite a few fall themed beauty products still available. Well, they were available when I shopped at the store in late October!

Rock and Roll Beauty x Ozzy Collection at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

As Halloween gets closer, I wanted to talk about something beauty related I saw at Ulta Beauty. It’s not Halloween related, but to me, and probably many others out there, it wouldn’t be a stretch to relate it to Halloween!

While walking around my closest Ulta Beauty store, I found an end cap for Rock and Roll Beauty. If you never heard of Rock and Roll Beauty, here is a quote about the brand on their official website…

Rock and Roll Beauty is a privately owned company that started with the idea of bringing the founders love for music together with their passion for creating unique beauty products. Bring pop culture to life in a new collaboration made for fans, by the fans.

Rock and Roll Beauty marries nostalgia with talented designers creating limited edition collections skilfully curated to encompass the uniqueness of each artist.

The collection I saw available at Ulta Beauty is Rock and Roll Beauty’s limited edition collaboration with rock artist Ozzy Osbourne. Since the packaging and look of the products had a very Halloween look to them (Very appropriate for Ozzy’s style as a rock artist) I decided to take some photographs of the collection and write a post about the collection before Halloween.

After waiting for years, Disney has released a sequel to Hocus Pocus! My excitement for a new movie has been one of my highlights for fall 2022.

I knew there would be merchandise for Hocus Pocus 2, but the one I wanted to see the most is the Colourpop collaboration with Disney. I saw it available at Ulta Beauty in store earlier this month, so I decided to shop it and take a few photographs of it as well.

KISS Lashes Halloween 2022 Faux Eyelashes at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

At my closest Ulta Beauty, there are many beauty products, ranging from makeup to nails, available to complete a Halloween costume. I haven’t seen so many Halloween beauty products available at this Ulta Beauty store before! I am happy to see them though.

One of the beauty products that I found are from KISS. I saw Halloween themed fake (Or faux) nails for sale, but not many were available at the time I shopped there. While walking around the store, I found a section dedicated to KISS’ faux eyelashes. Even though I am always more interested more in the nails, the lashes looked very pretty. Since I liked the lashes so much, I decided to take pictures of the lashes and write a post about them. Continue reading “KISS Lashes Halloween 2022 Faux Eyelashes at Ulta Beauty” →
