    A bookstore in my town is unfortunately permanently closing so they have a 50% off. So here’s what I got from there:
    - Hunger by Knut Hamsun
    - The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde
    - Beer in the Snooker Club by Waguih Ghali
    - A collection of short stories by Susan Sontag
    - And Paris Spleen by Baudelaire
    About beauty products, I LOVE them too! In fact it would’ve be fun if you showed us what eyeshadows u have in this video! More of that kinda content here and there would be nice haha. My fav lip glosses are the Dior lip maximizer and Charlotte Tilbury’s lip gloss in the shade walk of no shame.

    Once and Future King is the story (series) of King Arthur. The first book is what the Disney animation Sword in the Stone is based on. It is one of my childhood favourites, so I hope you enjoy it too! What a great gift to receive! Happy reading! :)

    A little gem of a book is a medieval novella, “The Song of Roland.” It’s a medieval war between the Christians and Islam. It’s a historical battle and it’s beautifully written, originally published around 1100. I just love reading about people and perspective from that period.

    I was gifted a newer version of Kindle for Christmas and I've been buying several books for it while watching your videos. I started the New Year reading "Sense & Sensibility" because I loved the movie versions (1995/2008) but I actually got bored with the book so I've laid it aside. Because of you I'm now reading Great Expectations after watching the movie version. I love haul videos. I'm not a bit surprised that you love makeup after all I consider it a form of art hence the title 'makeup artist'. 😊

    i want to read proust this year too and treated myself to the modern library set! :)) it's intimidating for sure, but i feel like reading in search of lost time is kind of a meta experience as he talks about the subconcious and memory being triggered by external things.. so when you read his stream of consciousness you too kind of wander from the text into your own mind and then come back to it, and ultimately get to know his story as much as your own. I really recommend the proust series by Leaf by Leaf here on YT for a guide to each book too!
    i love lipsticks so here are my favs: revlon's rum raisin, elf's lip stains, romnd juicy lasting lip tints and gloss, fenty beauty's gloss bomb and chanel's rouge allure lipsticks

    Loved this video Carolyn! So fun! I didn't know those pens came in brown - I'll have to check my local Michael's. Journaling with it would be fun - it will give the pages an antique/vintage look...love it!!
    I made a birthday book list for myself - never done that before. I'll be making a special trip to Barnes and Nobel and see if I can get a few books from my list. Here are the ones I will be looking for:
    -Legends and Lattes
    -Entitled (the entire novel is from a book's perspective!)
    -The Priory of the Orange Tree
    -Babel
    -Anxious People
    -The School for Good Mothers
    -All's Well
    -The Messy Lives of Book People
    -Our Wives Under the Sea
    -The Sun Also Rises
    Lip product recommendation: Burt's Bees lipsticks
    I have one in the shade of Blush Basin #501 - it's sort of a nude mauve/pinkish shade. I think you would like it - very natural looking.

    When it comes to lip products I am also a sucker for them. The fenty gloss bombs are beautiful, my favourite is the original in fenty glow I think it’s wonderfully universal. Lip balms I love the nuxe reve de miel, it’s used by a lot of French models, I use the pot but I’ve heard good things about the stick formula as well. It dries down matte while still keeping your lips moist and it’s perfect to wear to bed to wake up with soft lips

    I love mysteries and right now I’m reading 4:50 From Paddington by Agatha Christie. I do love books and have a lot on my to be read shelf, mostly mystery and nature books. I also have collected children’s books for over 30 years, ever since my first born. I do feel I need to downsize a bit, donate, but it’s so hard to decide what to give up. As for dry lips, that drives me crazy, it’s so uncomfortable; I’ve finally found something that works for me, it’s Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration. I buy it at Sephora. I use it day and night. Stay well. Hugs, Joy

    Swann's Way reminds me of War and Peace in certain ways--they are both intimidating, but once you get into it, it just flows. Proust is like reading a daydream if that makes sense. Makeup tips would be great...I'd love to learn more about natural beauty looks.

    I also LOVE lip products, it is my Achilles heel! I almost bought the Fenty lip balm! It comes in a white/cream tube. It felt so nice, but had to practice self control.
    My favorite lip products right now are the Maybelline Vinyl Ink liquid lipsticks & I also love Nars Afterglow lip balm in Fast Lane!

    Recent book purchase was War and Peace over the holidays! I got the same Oxford Classics Maude translation you read :) I'm almost exclusively a library girl, but I felt it would be too much pressure to read something that long from the library and keep having to renew it every few weeks. My favorite lip product is boring...I like Pretty Frank's lip balm in the jasmine mint scent. But my second favorite lip product is a UOMA lip gloss ('boss gloss' lol) in the color 'zero fk' 😂 When I'm feeling moody it is the perfect gothic babe color and it always cheers me up.

    Loved the beauty content in this video - I was sooo happy to hear that you love lip products bc I am also a lip-product lover. I have chronically dry lips so my favorite product is the cerave moisturizing cream with the vaseline lip therapy layered overtop it. Also the clear lipgloss from citygirls is my absolute favorite. As for recent book purchases, I went thrifting recently and got the first book in the outlander series, the old man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway, cannery row by john Steinbeck, and some medical books.

    Love these chill and laid-back vlogs! I too am trying really hard to start the year right and not buy too many books when I already have so any unread books - but I did cave and buy The Sunset Limited by Cormac McCarthy =| it's a play centering on themes of morality and reconciliation of opposing worldviews. I am reading War and Peace atm and loving the Pierre/Andrei debate about what it means to live a good life, so I am hoping The Sunset Limited will be an expansion of that kind of dialogue.
    My friends and I used to be obsessed with exploring new lip products; I think my favorites have to be Charlotte Tilbury for lipsticks and this Korean brand called romand (it's mid-tier I'd say) for lip tints/glosses. The latter is so comfortable and long-lasting but never dehydrating. Would highly recommend if you ever want to venture into non-Western brands!

  • @kiara8056
    @kiara8056 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love vlogs and a book haul as well, it can't get better than that! You could always do your makeup while talking about books, like a book Q&A while you get ready. My favourite lip product currently is Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (mine is in vanilla), it's now a staple in my skincare routine.

    I've found that the best lip balm for actual lip care is just regular Aquaphor (not their lip balm, the OG one)! BUT if you like banana flavored stuff like I do (think banana runts) the Pillow Balm in Banana Kiss (I've heard good things about their other flavors too, just can't personally vouch for them) from Too Faced is LOVELY! A bit sticky at first though so be aware if you aren't a fan.

    I recently purchased 3 books: Braiding Sweetgrass (bc in Feb I'm going to attend a presentation by the author); Picasso's War (bc I watched a TH-cam interview of the author given at the Library of Congress), The Hobbit (bc I've never read Tolkien), and We Don't Know Ourselves (bc it sounds like information I should know and a good way to weave in memoir into a non-fiction book.) I'm actively reading the latter and Wind in the WIllows. My favorite Lip Product is Burt's Bees tinted lipbalms. I have them tucked everywhere so one is never more than a few feet from my hands (and thus my lips.) As for makeup content, I find makeup very interesting, but I'm no longer twenty. My makeup interests (at almost 60) are very different than yours at your age. But the occasional introdcution of a new product or your thoughts on something you love or hate will certainly not veer me away from your artsy/bookish content. Personally, I would love more content on art, design, ekphrastic writing, from you. I think there is a lot of overlap between writing, poetry, painting and design. And I think you would be an excellent moderator of that conversation. Do you watch the videos produced by the National Gallery in London (mostly produced during the pandemic.) Its excellent. Also being in Long Island, you could show us all the Walt Whitman stuff I should have visited in my 35 years living in metro NYC but didn't. Thank you for your content, Carolyn. Brava.

    Oh Carolyn, Patrick has sent you two of my most favourite novels of Chales Dickens, 'Little Dorrit' and 'Bleak House', must reads as far as I'm concerned. Little Dorrit is such an extraordinary journey and a true masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned, and I don't think anything needs to be stated about Bleak House, it just 'is'! I hope you love them as much as I do!
    I purchased the hb picture book story 'Where Snow Angels Go', which is such a christmas-sy pb. Also have ordered Carol Ann Duffy's 'Christmas Poems' in hb, am waiting for it to arrive!
    My current read list has 12 items, including 'Farewell to Arms' for your 'Tome' book club, 'War and Peace' for the Hardcore Literature book club, and my current novel 'The Seamstress of Sardinia' which I'm really liking and am up to page 77. I have numerous library books I'm trying to read which The Seamstress of Sardinia is one.

      Lots of practising, using references, something I like to do when I don’t know what to draw, or need to break art block, is drawing random items around the house, when something is right in front of you, you can really see all the elements of it, the light, the shadows, etc, rather than if it’s just a picture you’re using

    Finished King John earlier this month and feel confident that there is sufficient evidence that WS inherited the play from someone, maybe Greene or Kyd (idk bc I read a lot of WS but not so many other Elizabethans). In Act I, scene 1, a character is introduced in a typically clownish situation and remains part of the action thru to the end of the play. However, he is an obnoxious smart-alec most of the way, until Shakespeare re-works his character into a serious participant. I think that a lot of other dramatists would take him as was given, and miss out on a great tragedy. Anyway, no more rambling - Thx Carolyn, enjoyed.

    I am wondering if you have ever listened to Don McLean's song _Vincent_ about Van Gogh? I highly recommend it for you. For some reason, I think you'll love it.
    Bookish question: I try to buy used books, exclusively, as part of the three R's : Reduce, reuse and recycle as well as trying to buy local (to reduce energy to ship the books).. which really limits to non-online purchases. As such, I am on the lookout for lesser found classics. Three I have been trying to find used are: That Tale of Genji, The Death of Ivan Ilych, and Three Men in a Boat (Jerome K Jerome). Or anything by Philip K Dick or Achidie.
    Non-bookish question: (not my favorite, but...) have you ever had lip balm with cinnamon in it? Lip-smacking good (my issue is that if you keep licking your lips, they dry out and need to re-apply) For example, Lip Freak 'Sin-o-mint'
