Your makeup looks GORGEOUS ❤
I can’t wait to read this before the sequel comes out next year!
Basically, plastic surgery with magic 😛
Thank you for reminding me to get this book at the library.
Comfy book reviews i love it!!!
I largely ignored this book as it didn’t really sound that interesting, but when you mentioned the Capitol? HERE FOR IT. Now to see if my library has it
I had no interest in this book, but your review has swayed me and I love your look!
Your make up look is adorable!
I’ve had this book on my shelf for a couple weeks now. I’ll have to move this up on my to read list
Yes library trip soon I got to get this
The eyelashes are everything lol
When I read The Belles the worldbuilding was my favorite part as well and the Capitol is a such a good comparison 🙂
that lip gloss looks gorgeous on you!!! xx
I could not finish this book. I kept getting kicked out of the story trying to figure out what somethings were like post balloon and newsies. By the time I figured it out I was kinda over it. I was also not her for the romance either. I desperately want this to be a movie though. I am obsessed with all things Versailles so I will be all over the movie. I love that over though. Tjanks for sharing
Just found your channel and I’m just binge-watching. I loved your beauty look and review of The Belles
You made me more interested in reading this book. And I’m with your boyfriend, I’m not feeling the cover. I think I would have gravitated to it more if it was drawn in a cute art style.
Wowza, that cover is beautiful! I have to find that book at my library. I love fantasy novels and black female protagonist.I adore glamour and opulence ✨. Your makeup is beautiful. I already wanted to read this book makes your review definitely swayed me to read it sooner!
