<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(The above photo was not taken by me [obviously] and I don't take the credit for it. I simply have the poster/photo here to promote the film as I feel it deserves attention).</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Now, Voyager</i> is a true gem, a film that keeps on making you think about it. The music grabs your heart (and, apparently, it grabbed an Academy Award). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bette Davis gave a stunning performance as Charlotte Vale. Paul Henreid was simply fabulous as well and really captured my attention. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was rooting for Charlotte Vale through the whole movie. What a loveable heroine, and how easy it is to relate to Bette Davis' superb acting as Vale. Henreid's "Jerry" was absolutely marvelous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, I am <i>so </i>glad that I watched this film and would highly recommend it. It truly embodies the Walt Whitman poem that the title was taken from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel it is best to go into this film without knowing anything about it, thus I will only say that I loved it and that one must see it to appreciate it. What a joy it was to go on the voyage!</div>

Yesterday I came across a collection of Gucci's Flora Fragrances. All of the scents were packaged together with each bottle containing .5 oz. I must say that I was overjoyed to see this collection as I love all the scents in the Flora collection; however, it seemed impractical to me to buy all the scents in the bigger sizes. This seemed the perfect opportunity to discover what scent I liked the most other than Gorgeous Gardenia which I already own. (You can read my review of it <a href="http://merrymarymargaret.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-beautiful-scent-guccci-flora-gorgeous.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I am absolutely pleased with my purchase as every single scent is a lovely, beautiful scent. I feel like a walking bouquet when I wear these fragrances. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As shown in the images, here is a list of the scents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Glamorous Magnolia</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Gracious Tuberose</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Glorious Mandarin </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Generous Violet </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The packaging is simply lovely, and I am just absolutely enjoying all of these perfumes and would highly recommend these fragrances to anyone who loves floral perfumes. Definitely check these scents out next time you are perfume shopping!</div>

It is always a joy to read books that are about different periods in Art History. Today, I am showing only the books that are about more "modern" art. Impressionist art is always really interesting and beautiful to read about and look at. I only have one book about Art Deco so far, but as I love it so much, I am sure there will be additions later on. Here is a list of the books in the pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Fashion in Impressionist Paris</i> by Debra N. Mancoff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>The Magic of Monet's Garden</i> by Derek Fell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Impressionism: Painting Quickly in France 1860-1890</i> by Richard R. Brettell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Art Deco: The Golden Age of Graphic Art & Illustration</i> by Michael Robinson</div>

As you will tell from the pictures of this palette, I have used this palette quite a bit since it was given to me by my sister in September. There is a color for pretty much any look you could want. The colors are so nicely pigmented and they really go on the lid so creamily. I am a huge fan and I use this palette pretty much every single day!</div>

I absolutely <i>love </i>the book <i>Well-Read Women</i> with illustrations by Samantha J. Hahn. It has the most beautiful watercolor paintings representing heroines from literary masterpieces. It is so fun to look through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Additionally, I really love the planner that Hahn illustrated. It is absolutely darling, and I love the typewriter painting on the front cover! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would highly recommend you visit Hahn's <a href="http://www.samanthahahn.com/blog/" target="_blank">website</a> and her <a href="http://instagram.com/samanthajhahn" target="_blank">instagram</a> to view more of her work - or even order her books! I cannot recommend highly enough!</div>

I recently purchased this collection of Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall films. It contains, as the pictures display:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The Big Sleep</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Dark Passage</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Key Largo</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To Have and Have Not</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have seen all of these films except <i>Key Largo</i>; however, I plan to watch it soon! The movies I have seen are simply marvelous. It is always a joy to watch Bogart and Bacall together.</div>

I recently purchased Taylor Swift's fragrance <i>Wonderstruck.</i> I used to work in a store that sold this fragrance and I always loved it, but I never caved in and bought it. When I saw it on sale in the store the other day, though, I knew it was finally time to purchase it. The perfume came with bath gel and body lotion, both of which smell just as lovely. I feel so girly and sweet when wearing this, and I am still as in love with it as I was when I first smelled it. </div>

January just feels like the perfect month to take long walks inside of
secluded forests, doesn't it? With the wind in your face and the cool
air in your lungs, it's hard not to be rejuvenated! The fact that it's
good exercise is just a bonus when you are simply staring at nature in
its majestic wintery form. These are some pictures I snapped on my walk. I decided not to edit any of them so that they are unchanged to show the scene, hopefully, in its purest form.</div>

I thought it was about time that I show what I have on my bookshelves. Since it would be an infinitely long post if I put it all into one post, I thought I would split it by shelf. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This shelf is mostly Mary Stewart (what isn't Mary Stewart will be shown in another post). In my <i>What's in my Purse? </i>post, you might remember that I had a Mary Stewart book in my purse. This is because I absolutely love anything Mary Stewart wrote. She was a fabulous author who set her books in the most fascinating places with the most dashing heroes and plucky heroines. The plots are also a blast and, as far as the dialogue, well, all I can say is, wow! I love all of the conversations in these books. I highly recommend anything by her. Thus, I own a <i>lot </i>of her books. Granted, I am missing a few of her books, but I think I am off to a great start in my collection. </div>

You'll notice there are duplicates of many of the books. This is because I want to collect different editions as I really love to have the different versions of the book. I am collecting them as I find them at used bookstores. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was Christmas shopping last year, I smelled some different perfumes as I love perfume. I wanted to see if anything caught my attention. Well, one perfume in particular did, and that was one of Gucci's Flora perfumes, Gorgeous Gardenia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It shouldn't have been a surprise that I liked the smell. I have always loved the smell of Gardenias. When I saw how expensive the perfume was, however, I put it back, thinking I would have to wait and think about it before spending so much money on something I wasn't a hundred percent sure I would continue to love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Around four months later, every time I was shopping at a place that had the perfume, I would smell Gorgeous Gardenia. Each time, I continued loving the scent. Finally, I decided that I would finally get the perfume, and now I am loving having it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It smells so fresh and clean, and I love that it is floral without being overpowering or sweet. Next time you have an opportunity, you should definitely check this perfume out and see if you like it as much as I do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a lovely day!</div>

Over the past couple of weeks, I have run out of several of my daily makeup items. So I went to Ulta and Target and restocked my supply. Here is some information about each one accompanied by pictures.<br />
<br />
I had been wanting to get some foundation and concealer brushes, so I picked up this kit of complexion brushes by EcoTools. So far, I am really enjoying this set of brushes! They are really small which is helpful when it comes to storing them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sptz6nZoPnR9P8qzpgtAOqQUSzZ7cXdnFLX-V7Ssg2L20XJM9u_GbJ0DnyrqajyzomWN22rd4m6Huncp-UUxrE_Olyh1vLfSTiFrqxGptxk-oxsqS6tcqn-U0hPw_8dqyIRz8mHtSFs/s1600/IMG_7417.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sptz6nZoPnR9P8qzpgtAOqQUSzZ7cXdnFLX-V7Ssg2L20XJM9u_GbJ0DnyrqajyzomWN22rd4m6Huncp-UUxrE_Olyh1vLfSTiFrqxGptxk-oxsqS6tcqn-U0hPw_8dqyIRz8mHtSFs/s1600/IMG_7417.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I had also been wanting to get a pencil eyeliner as I had used up all the other ones I had in black (literally, they were down to nubs!), so I picked this Scandal Eyes waterproof eyeliner by Rimmel. I love how easily this is applied. It really goes on wonderfully smoothly! Plus, I accidentally picked up the black eyeliner with glitter in it, but I am actually glad I did. The glitter is the perfect kind of glitter and makes the liner have a subtle shimmer. It is in the shade 002 Shimmering Black.<br />
<br />

<br />
This eyeshadow palette is called Twilight Rays by Maybelline. I really loved the pastels in this palette and I also love the blues! I know a lot of people don't like blue eyeshadow, but I think that if it is applied properly, it can be extremely pretty! So far, I am very happy with these colors!<br />

I had just run out of makeup remover, so I picked up several packages of Ponds cleansing towelettes. I have not tried these yet, but I am hoping they will be good!<br />

My Mom was really interested in this pretty pink nail polish by Zoya in the shade Bela, so I decided to treat both of us and buy it. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks lovely on my Mom's nails. It is such a pretty shade and makes your nails so shiny and pretty.<br />

I absolutely love this nail polish. It is a gorgeous Tiffany blue, and I love the finish it leaves on my nails. It is a perfect color for pretty much any season. (As you can see, I am not too amazing at putting nail polish on! I don't care too much, though, because who sees them up close like this, anyway?) What nail polish are you liking a lot right now?

I know it isn't quite yet the end of February, so I am a little early for the February Favorites. However, I will be rather busy the rest of the month, so I figured it would be alright to be a little early. So, without further ado, here is my selection of beauty products for this month! <br />

I was already wanting to get the nail polish because of the beautiful color, but the name cemented the purchase as I love the reference to the Wizard of Oz. The color is just lovely and I love the glitter in it!<br />

My mother also bought me this eyeshadow brush by Stella and I've really loved having it! It is cute and really soft and I'm so glad I have it!<br />

I've heard so many people saying how amazing Baby Lips by Maybelline is, so I finally bought some to see how it worked. I actually really liked it! The one I got is called Strike a Rose and is a very pretty pink.<br />

I can wear it alone or with some lipstick and it will make my lips shiny and moisturized. I love the color that I got and I think it is a very good tinted lip balm and would recommend it, especially considering the price.<br />

This blush and bronzer kit by Stila "Portrait of a Perfect Blush" is the perfect set of bronzers and blushes. I love the packaging, too, although that is not related to the actual product. I love how the bronzers and blushes go on and have been using them pretty much every day. <br />

Rimmel London's Stay Matte powder is what I've been using for several months now, and I really love it! It keeps my skin from being oily as it promises and it matches my skin tone nicely, which is always a good thing. As you can probably tell, I've used quite a bit of it.</div>

These are the six perfumes I wear the most often. So, without further ado, I will talk<br />
about each one and give an idea what the scent is like and why I like it. :)<br />

<br />
This perfume is <i>Country Chic </i>by Bath & Body Works. I love that it smells fresh and clean. Also, when you spray it on, it leaves glitter on your skin. It is a perfect scent for summer and, as you can see, I have definitely used it a good deal.<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>Forever Sunshine</i> by Bath & Body Works is very sweet and reminds me of cupcakes and other sweet treats. It is a very, very girly scent and perfect for pretty much any season. I love the sweetness of it!<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>Pink Chiffon, </i>also by Bath & Body Works, is another sweet-smelling perfume. It has more of a fruity scent to it, however, and is much more of a spring/summer scent than Forever Sunshine. It's a great scent for every day and I love how fresh it smells!<br />

<br />
<i>Peace Love & Juicy Couture </i>by Juicy Couture is a very clean, fruity/flowery scent (my favorite kind of scent!). It is a light, clean scent and very sophisticated smelling, if that makes any sense. I wear it pretty much every single day right now, simply because it is a very versatile scent.<br />

<i>Daisy </i>by Marc Jacobs is one of my all-time favorite perfumes. I've been wearing it since I was fourteen. I just love the flowery smell (I mean, it is called <i>Daisy</i>) and how fresh and clean it is. I think it is great for every season, and it is just a lovely scent!</div>

<i>Rock Princess </i>by Vera Wang is a spicy scent that is very clean smelling. I love to wear it special events because it smells very fancy. I also love how portable it is since it is applied with a roller-ball. If you read my What's in my Purse post, you know that I carry it in my purse whenever possible so that I have perfume on the go! </div>

I have always wanted to do the What's in my Purse tag, so I finally decided today that I would do it! Here's a picture of what's in my purse and then a picture of my purse. These are essentials that I try to keep with me all the time if at all possible. What's in your purse?<br />
<br />
1. My wallet was made by Vera Bradley and it was given to me on my seventeenth birthday. It is so cute, and it has a lovely loop to put your hand through. I also can slip my cell phone into the pocket in the back which is very handy!<br />
<br />
2 & 4. I have two little bags that I keep necessities in. Most of the loose things in this picture are put into these two bags. It helps me keep things organized. The bonus is that they are both adorable!<br />
<br />
3. I was given this coin purse over four years ago. I just like to keep any loose change with me so I'll have it somewhere I know so I can get it if I need it.<br />
<br />
5. This little plastic-covered notepad is with me pretty much wherever I go. One of my good friends made it for me, and I love that it has a compartment inside for loose papers and that it has a loop to put a pen in. Anyway, what girl doesn't like writing lists? What am I writing right now?? Haha.<br />
<br />
6. This is one of the many different markers that I have made by Staedtler. They have a very fine tip and have such nice colors. I love them!<br />
<br />
7. My planner was also made by Vera Bradley. The inside is super colorful
and I love it! I love the pattern on the outside, too. I like to keep
this planner with me so I can jot things down that I need to remember
wherever I am.<br />
<br />
8. I have my earbuds with me most of the times so I can use them with my mp3 player, tablet, or laptop. I generally prefer wearing over-the-ear headphones when I can, but in order to reduce the weight of my purse, I keep earbuds with me instead of the headphones.<br />
<br />
9. Whenever I carry a bigger purse, I like to keep a book in it. The one I am currently reading is <i>The Moonspinners</i> by Mary Stewart (which is really good so far!).<br />
<br />
10. I always try to keep either gum or mints with me just to keep my breath fresh! <br />
<br />
11. A mini lint-roller is a good thing to have, especially during the winter months when I am wearing darker colors since they seem to attract lint!<br />
<br />
12. Chapstick is a must-have in a purse. It just is! <br />
<br />
13. Lipstick and lipgloss are two things that I think are essential, in my opinion. The lip gloss is Hoola by benefit and the lipstick is Berry Rich by Revlon.<br />
<br />
14. A notebook is always nice to have near, so I try to keep one with me whenever possible.<br />
<br />
15. Band-aids are another thing I like to keep with me. You never know when you'll need one!<br />
<br />
16 & 23 My hands are pretty much always dry, so I keep lotion with me all the time, really. The lotions I have in this picture are Crabtree & Evelyn and eos. I love the fruity/flowery scents and how hydrating these lotions are!<br />
<br />
17. I love the brush/mirror contraptions that you can buy pretty much
anywhere. Mirrors are really nice to have at all times, and so are
hairbrushes!<br />
<br />
<br />
18. I try to keep some perfume with me in case I feel that I need to refresh my "scent". The one I have here is Rock Princess by Vera Wang which is a very clean, fresh scent.<br />
<br />
19. It's always a good idea to keep your vitamin intake at a healthy level. Thus I have some Vitamin C lozenges with me when I think of it.<br />
<br />
20. It's always a good idea to have some Kleenex with you. Enough said.<br />
<br />
21. These are some cheap sunglasses I bought so that, in the even that they were damaged, I wouldn't feel bad about it. They have actually lasted over three years now! I keep them in the hard case pictured above that is plastic and it is very good at protecting my sunglasses!<br />
<br />
22. Can you tell that my hair likes to be a little crazy? Hence yet another hairbrush!<br />
This is what the purse I've been using a lot lately looks like. It was made by Nine West.<br />

Are you, like me, really excited for spring, yet not ready to wear all-out spring colors on your nails? Well, here are three nail polishes that I've selected as a transition from winter to spring. All of these are pretty colors that will go well with your winter & spring clothing as you have to adjust to the temperature. What nail polishes do you like to wear at this time of year?<br />
<br />

<br />
The first color is Sally Hansen <i>Very Cherry.</i> It is a sheer, glittery pink that is really very pretty. The texture is smooth even with the glitter, and I love that it looks good by itself as well as on top of a similar color as a glitter coat.<br />
<br />

The second polish is Rimmel London <i>English Rose.</i> It is a very vintage pink kind of color and I absolutely love it!<br />

The Last polish is Zoya <i>Tinsley </i>. It is a lovely glittery nail polish with warm, earthy colors. It is sheer, but I love the way it looks. Definitely a great winter/spring color!<br />

I bought four lipsticks, a new eyeshadow palette, two primers, and some concealer. As I have not used these products much, I will have to review them a while from now. So, I thought I would post pictures and just show what I got. <br />

I purchased all Revlon when it came to lipsticks. The picture makes the three red ones look very much the same. I would like to say, however, that Wine with Everything is more a cranberry red and Certainly Red is more a cherry color. Berry rich actually has a little more of an earthy red.<br />

The color of this primer is white but goes on like a mousturizer and blends right into your skin. This primer is designed, as it says, to keep your skin from becoming too shiny.<br />

Fix & Perfect by Rimmel London<br />
<br />
This primer is supposed to smooth skin and minimize pores. It looks pinkish-orange when you first apply it and then blends into your skin after you've worn it a minute (or at least it did that on my skin). <br />

I have accumulated quite a few mascaras over the past few months. I tend to focus on my eye makeup more than anything else, so that would explain why I like to try new mascaras. So, since I have a good number of them and have been using them for at least a month, I thought I would write a review of each one. I hope this is helpful! Comment below about your favorite mascara, if you feel so inclined. :)<br />

Rimmel's <i>Extra Super Lash </i>in 101<br />
<br />
This mascara is very easy to apply and has a great texture. It lengthens lashes without looking unnatural. It's perfect for everyday makeup and doesn't seem to clump. However, it is not the longest-lasting mascara I've ever used. In addition, the length added to the eyelashes is not as much length as I've had with other mascaras. It doesn't thicken lashes very much, either, so if that's something you're looking for... read on. Again, this is a great natural-looking mascara.<br />

Maybelline's <i>Great Lash</i> in Very Black<br />
<br />
This is another natural-looking mascara. This mascara definitely adds a lot of length to the lashes. The bonus to this is that it doesn't clump. This mascara doesn't really add volume to lashes. However, the simpleness of the product's application makes it worth the buy. This mascara is also comparable to benefit's <i>BADgal lash</i>, reviewed next.<br />

bene<i>fit</i>'s BADgal<i> lash</i><br />
<i> </i> <br />
If you're looking for a mascara that is natural-looking that adds lots of length to your lashes - this is what you're looking for. It doesn't really help with adding volume, though. I do love that it doesn't clump. I would recommend this for those who can splurge. For those of you who are <i>not </i>wanting to splurge, Maybelline's <i>Great Lash </i>is, I have found, very similar. Plus, this is pretty expensive, and while I really like it, if you can save the money, why not?<br />

Rimmel's <i>Scandal Eyes </i>in 001<br />
<br />
If you need some volume in your lashes, this is the mascara you're looking for. Not only does this mascara add lots of volume, but it doesn't clump, which is hard to find when you're using a mascara that's supposed to add volume. I have been using <i>Scandal Eyes</i> for over a year and I am continuing to enjoy this formula!<br />

L'Oreal's <i>Voluminous </i>in Blackest Black<br />
<br />
If you want to add length to your lashes - <i>lots of it</i> <i>- </i>then this is the mascara for you. The only thing I don't like is that this mascara can clump sometimes. Otherwise, a great buy for lengthening of the lashes.<br />
<br />

L'Oreal's <i>Voluminous </i>in Black<br />
<br />
This product is essentially the same as the <i>Original Voluminous </i>reviewed earlier. The only difference is that the brush is curved, really. It doesn't seem to clump as much as the Original does, so that is a plus. I really like this mascara and have used it a while.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading these reviews! I hope they were at least slightly helpful. I hope to have some lip product reviews on here soon.<br />

Have a lovely day!<br />
