September 1!! How is it September already?? The summer flew by with my travels and I still have so many summer things I want to do! But I also really want to start wearing all the fall things, so there's that. I tried to incorporate fall feels into my wardrobe for August, with darker prints and fall colours, but my love of white denim is still going strong (and will for a while). ✨ I've linked some of the pieces that are still left from my August wardrobe and my favourite (blue) jeans that I talked about Wednesday's post which are currently 30% off with code LABORDAY (online only). Get all the details one of two ways: 1️⃣ Sign up with LTK and like this picture or if you use the app, screenshot the pic. 2️⃣ Copy this address into your browser http://sparkleslaceandsequins.com/shop-my-looks/ and click on this pic.

It's the candy in the photo. here in Scandinavia we like our candy not only sweet, but salty & strong too. I've once heard someone describe the taste as medicine 🙈😷 haha, it's my favourite candy anyway. the ones in the photo over are salty licorices filled with salmiak. mmmh! comment below & let's look back at the good things this month. would love to get to know more of what you guys like & even find some new favourites for next month? #heksehyl #salmiakki #saltycandy #augustfavourites (at Lindved, Vejle, Denmark)
Hey people of Tumblr! I made another youtube video, but this time I’m talking. As my first “proper” youtube video I am so scared it sucks, so please give me feedback on here if you want to, I also know I seem pretty awkward maybe, but the more I get comfortable talking to a camera the better I shall get :) I really do enjoy making and editing videos, it’s making me feel real happy. Anyway, thanks for watching if you do, and yeah! Tell me what you want to see ^_^
What are my favourites? It's hard to tell because they can change every so often. Like all other bloggers and Youtubers, the bloggers of Steals. Deals, Splurges. will be posting up their favourite products, deals, trends, etc. at the end of every month. Why? We just want to help you navigate and find products that are best bang for your buck, even if they're splurges. Are you ready? Set. Click "read more".
FAVOURITE STEAL: Sephora & Benefit Birthday Gift free with no purchase necessary. I chose this as my favourite August steal, because it appeared to have the best value out of all of the other free with no purchase necessary products. Just sign up for the Beauty Insider and give them the card on your birthday to get high end makeup products (and high end makeup never comes cheap). This year I got a mini Benefit birthday package that comes with "They're Real!" mascara and "Watt's Up" highlighter. I'll be posting up some reviews on these two products within a month.
FAVOURITE DEAL: Aritzia Skirt from $60 to $19.99 is truly a good deal from Aritzia. I like how fun this skirt is, even though it's for spring and summer. I would transition it into early fall as well and wait until next year to give it some wear and love again.
FAVOURITE SPLURGE: Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution for Seneitive Skin and Eyes. Although this is a value format, it was more expensive than lower end drugstore brands. This was purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart for $28.50 (before tax), I believe? It cleanses, removes makeup and soothes the skin, so it's like a better version of a toner. I bought it to try it out since I have sensitive skin and I'll post up a review soon.
FAVOURITE CLOTHING ITEM: Asos Shorts. I featured these shorts in my Back to School Special - Asos Part 2, where they're on sale for $25.67. I love how I just switch them out for other shorts for a fashion forward and unexpected twist to an outfit. It also looks posh and put together. Online, they have black available, but I bought the tan back in May and have been wearing them pretty often.
FAVOURITE BEAUTY ITEM: Hair Velcro. I use them everyday for facial cleaning, showering and make up application. Hair velcros grabs all the fringes and baby hairs and takes them out of your face. You put them on like you're going to comb your hair with them and leave them where you want them to stay. They're pretty gentle on the hair, which I'm surprised about. They've only pulled out 2-3 hairs after having them for the whole summer, but that's because they got caught in a nasty knot. You can get them from eBay and Pacific Mall for less than $5/pack. Each pack comes with 2 hair velcros.
FAVOURITE TREND: Fall Pastels. Why? It allows us to take our favourite shades from the spring and summer months and integrate them into fall to help make those pieces more versatile. Also, if you already have a lot of pastels in your closet already, you don't feel the need to go out and buy fall pieces to hit the trend, which ultimately saves you money. My favourite colour is mint green. It looks great on my skin tone (or even any skin tone), gives me a confidence booster and brightens up my day. That's why I personally welcome it with wide, wide, wide open arms.
FAVOURITE DIY: Burger Patties, which are healthier and perfect for summer barbeques. Although summer has slowly passed on, you can still make these burger patties through the year whenever you're having that craving. You can also freeze them, but not for too long since they don't have preservatives.
FAVOURITE RESTAURANT: W Burger Bar with overall review of 9/10, because of the delicious food, the great deals all week long and good service.
FAVOURITE YOUTUBE VIDEOS:
No Makeup Makeup Tutorial by frmheadtotoe
Top 10 Fashion Shopping Tips by Evelina
My First Date EVAR! - Awksome Adventures by WongFuProductions
FAVOURITE ENTERTAINMENT (music, movie, etc.):

Note: All of the favourites are things I have bought, eaten, made, and watched. All the favourite steals, deals and splurges are purchases within this month. All the DIY and restaurants are ones that I have tried out this month as well. My favourite YouTube videos will generally be recent and posted within the past 2 months. My favourite entertainment, clothes and beauty products could be anything I bought this month or anything I have already. Loving things that I already have helps with saving money, and you'll know that I definitely recommend them.
