Over winter when the rain is pounding at your window or snow is blanketing the ground gadget girls tend to stay inside or find refuge in cafes and restaurants out of the nippy winter air. It’s been REALLY cold lately so I thought I’d go though my faves for June, these will be a mixture of gadgets, software, apps and other little things -
- The Sims 3 – I’m going to do an entire review on The Sims 3 once I’ve played it a bit more but for geek girls and gadget girls alike it’s perfect for rainy days and cold nights. The danger is if you have work or uni or school the next day because I tend to not check the time while I’m playing, get caught up in what my Sims are doing and it winds around to 2 AM and I’m still sitting there playing. I think the RRP for sims3 is $99 but I got mine for $86 so it pays to shop around – check the system requirements though…I had to upgrade my RAM.
- Monopoly App for iphone – I LOVE THIS!! I think it was $13.99 when I got it but I think the price has gone down to like $6.50 since then. It’s perfect for if you’re waiting for someone for longer than 5 minutes or just killing time – I’m not really one for going to a cafe and waiting by myself for someone whilst looking like I have nothing to do so I generally pull out my phone and text or play a game – if you’re not a monopoly fan though it’s probably not the game for you.
- I don’t have any other gadgety faves for the month but I do have a couple of girly finds that you might be interested in (guys stop reading now)…
Broadway Real Life Nails – These are fantastic! You can wear them for 10 days and they look really pretty, if one comes off you can just glue it back on. They were $19.99 from life pharmacy and I got a smaller pack for free….PLUS they come in a length called ‘REAL SHORT’ Which is iphone friendly!!! Or at least it’s iphone friendly for me. - MAC Fluidline eyeliner – I mentioned this on twitter – I’ve used a pencil for years and have used vaious different brands from Clinique to Loreal….I always got an okay finish but nothing great…nothing that I got comments about but this stuff is AMAZING…I’ve had so many comments about this it really is fantastical. I had to buy a brush at the same time so it cost me like $85 but if you have a brush already or are prepared to use an e
yeliner brush that isn’t MAC its much more affordable.The makeup actually fits into my geekageness as well – I’m addicted to these make-up guru videos on YouTube – my faves are allthatglitters21 and makeupgeek – go check them out if you get a chance.
