Nerd Girl Faves: Favourite Television Shows

I've been waiting to start this series on my blog for a few weeks now. this idea popped into my head the very first time I snuck Doctor Who into one of my monthly favourites post. I will never fail to admit that I am an all round nerd. I love sci-fi and tech, I love video games and reading, comics and anime and also learning about any and everything. Yup all rounded nerd at your service!

For this specific post, I'm going to be sharing with you some of the old and new shows I've been indulging in and hey if you have a show you want to recommend, you can leave it in a comment below or you can send it to me on my social media accounts, I truly would love to know.

1. Power Rangers Ninja Storm
No, I am not ashamed to say that I spent a week binge watching Power Rangers! Ninja Storm was awesome when I was 10-11 and it's still awesome now. There's something so strange about re-watching a childhood favourite. I never realised how unbelievably corny, sarcastic and pun filled the humour was in Ninja Storm was back then, and since I have a great love and appreciation for corny, punny and sarcastic humour *(sarcasm is my second language, huehue) I just fell right back in love with Ninja Storm.

2. Doctor Who
This new season had it's ups and downs, a lot of hits and a few misses. However, there is something about Steven Moffat penning a season finale, that will almost always strike a blow to a Whovians heart and that's precisely what he did with the Series 8 finale. Poor Clara, poor Danny, poor Doctor :(. Although I'm sad that the new series/season is over, I cannot wait for the Christmas Special, Nick Frost as Santa!!! December needs to hurry and get here!

Well, that's it for the "oldies" this time, now onto the new stuff.

1. Gotham
Oswald Cobblepot....that is all!
Just Kidding! Honestly, I know that the show is meant to be based around Detective Jim Gordon, but Cobblepot steals the show. Robin Lord Taylor is undoubtedly one of the best actors I have seen in a while. He immersing himself so well into the persona of Cobblepot that it's hard to believe it's merely a character from a script that he's bringing to life.
One thing about this show is that the casting is above reproach. The casting was absolutely phenomenal and these amazing, mostly unknown group of actors bring forth perfect execution, to some of the better drama scripts in U.S network prime time television.

2. Scorpion
I've been waiting for a new show that involved a genius after CBS cancelled Numb3rs, and I have been given 4 geniuses, 1 Homeland Security agent, 1 former waitress now genius handler and her genius son.....Thank goodness! After watching the pilot on it's debut night, I haven't stopped tuning in to see what kind of trouble this band of genius misfits get into. Scorpion is made up by Walter, the leader and general genius badass, Toby the behaviourists (my personal favourite), Happy the mechanical genius and Sylvester the human calculator, Agent Gallo, Paige and her son Ralph <--(cute as a button). Scorpion is quickly becoming one of my favourite shows on television and I truly hope it doesn't meet the fate of Surviving Jack, which was absolutely amazing, one of the best comedies in recent years and it got cancelled. ;---;

I highly recommend if you are looking for a new show to watch to check one of these out if you haven't already. I will not post anything about specific episodes because....... "Spoilers ;)" 

That's it for this post, I think I will continue with this nerd girl favourites series because so many new videogames have hit the shelves, so that will be an interesting undertaking. We are in the last week of November, therefore a November faves is rapidly approaching so be on the lookout for that.

Until next time, stay happy, stay healthy and stay positive and I'll talk to you soon.
Bye guys (^_^)/

Favourites! September and October Combined

Hey guys, today it's going to be all my favourite products from both September and October. The reason why it's a combined favourites is my camera's Memory cards died towards to beginning of October and I ended up losing all my pictures for September :(

September and October Favourites

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush

1. Milani Powder Eyeshadow in Brown Stone. A completely matte dark brown shadow that I use to fill in my eyebrows. It's velvety smooth and pigmented, but I think it may have been discontinued and I've hit pan. (-_-')

2. Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 107. It is a beautiful matte berry red. Glides on like butter and it doesn't budge after application. Highly recommend. 

3. L'Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24HR in Blackest Black. I've had this for approximately 6-7months and it remains super creamy which makes it a breeze to apply. It's also very waterproof and smudge proof, I've walked through rain with this thing on and it didn't move. Mine is yet to show any signs of drying out so if you've been looking for a gel liner, you should give this one a go!

4. Beauty Treats Professional 88 Palette 

This palette is great for a novice with eyeshadow and it's also great if you really enjoy neutral eyeshadows like I do. Now some of the eyeshadows are smooth, some are powdery but not chalky at all. They are fairly pigmented and easy to blend. If you're a teenager and new to makeup and you want an affordable neutral eyeshadow palette, you should give this a try. 

5. Avon Big Daring Volume Mascara

One coat and my lashes are plump and volumised...ummm..yes please, give me more! The brush is a similar shape to Maybelline The Falsies but it's larger and has more bristles on it compared to The Falsies. It's a dark, rich black but for me the only drawback is that it's an extremely wet formula. However, when it dries it's smudge proof so it gets a thumbs up. 

6. L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow Amber Rush 

This particular shade in the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow line has quite the following from bloggers, to Youtubers, to celebrity makeup artist and it's not hard to see why. It's an extremely pigmented pinkish-tan colour and it's absolutely beautiful. it has the look and feel of a pressed pigment, super creamy, blends easily and if you apply it correctly i.e. with your fingers instead of a brush, there is no fallout. 

I used this pigment on and off since I bought it in the later half of 2013, however I used it recently for my graduation portrait and it just looked so beautiful I had to include it in this combined favourites post.

Games 

World Of Warcraft 

I took the plunge into WoW and I'm hooked. I'm still a complete noob but I'm learning the ropes and enjoying every minute of it. 

Diablo 3 

Yes I've only now started playing Blizzard games, does that mean I have to turn in my nerd card? I only have the starter edition of Diablo 3 but rest assured I will be splurging on both DIablo 3 and Reaper of Souls for my birthday. Gotta treat myself ;) 

my only problem with playing both of these games is my crappy internet connection...sighsss

Television

Doctor Who 

The new series with the 12th Doctor has come to an end and oh my goodness, the feels were too much! I was never a huge fan of clara but the last two episode tore my heart out of my chest. Clara and Danny forever :'( I will say that this series had it's up and downs in terms of the episodes themselves, some were brilliant while others were just meh. Now that this series is finished, it's time to await this year's Christmas special with Nick Frost as Santa!!! - It's not a spoiler, the pic has been going around since the finale.  

This now marks he end of another post, my next post will be about new Television shows I've been greatly enjoying.Also if there's anything specific that you would like to see more of on here, let me know, all of my social media links are posted to the right hand side of the blog. Until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive and I'll see you next time.

Byeeeee (^__^)/
