Justice League (Movie Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Fueled by his restored faith in humanity, and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and WonderWoman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awaked enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes in Batman, WonderWoman, Aquaman, Cybor and The Flash, it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.  I was apprehensive about this movie because Batman V Superman left a bad taste in my mouth. It makes no sense the characters being as old as they are and not even have the Justice League formed. The opening scene was a video of Superman being questioned by a couple of kids. The CGI on Cavill's face was atrocious and distracted from the actual scene itself. I would have preferred that they scrapped that altogether.  Isn't it already too late trying to form a team of s...

Sand & Sky | Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask (Review)

Image
 Product Summary: Refresh and reset your skin: treat your pores to a deep detox, smooth out skin texture and boost radiance with this multi-talented clay mask. It tightens pores in 10 minutes, fades hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone, draws out toxins, impurities and excess sebum, clogging pores. Cost: $49.  I first received this product in a Ipsy bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 30$ Canadian.  Click here to check them out.  ***Cruelty free*** This face mask is what my skin needed during these summer months. When the weather gets warmers I tend to develop tiny sweat pimples and have clogged pores on my nose and most of my t-zone area. I typically need something that will purge my pores while also leaving my skin glowing without any dryness which this clay mask does! This is my first time using a product from Sand & Sky and I'm surprised how well it worked on my skin and I'm happy to re...

No Buy Makeup Challenge...Kinda Failed??

Image
Back at the beginning of February I posted about actively and consciously taking the no buy makeup challenge very seriously. Here we are at the end of June and I kinda, sorta failed the challenge? As it is no surprise to everyone I have an Ipsy glam bag subscription and have had it for many years but for the past year or so I have been putting it on pause because I just have too many products. Too much makeup, too much skincare and too much haircare so I figured pausing it would be better than canceling it.  A couple months ago I got an email stating that they attempted to process a payment (I clearly forgot to pause a month), however, the payment they had on file was old and needed to be updated. Not sure how but they eventually were able to process a payment without me updating the card on file. Now we have Ipsy June glam bag! I'm happy at least that most of these products are skincare based which is a preference for me. The older I get the less I care for makeup and have focused...

Shopping My Stash | Nail Polish Edition

Image
This year has been the year of underconsumption and using what I have without purchasing more of things and items that I already have in my stash. One thing that I have an abundance of is nail polish. I have nail polishes that are over 15 years old. Fortunately, most of what I have is still usable and I've trying to use it up instead of purchasing more or trying different nail techniques that requires me to buy more items.  For a while, I was very much into going into the nail salon and getting acrylics. Eventually, I stopped going because it was just getting too expensive and I needed something different to do. So, I tried dipped nails. That lasted a couple of years but this past year I've taken a break on that and have been just using nail polish. The main reason I was getting my nails done is because mine are very thin and easily break so it was nice having them rigid and not breaking every second day.  Doing dip nails at home was my way of trying to save money while also h...

Wonder Woman (Movie Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary:  Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, Princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island Paradise, Diana meets an American pilot who tells her about the massive conflict that's raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she finally discovers her full powers and true destiny.  I really enjoyed the opening of the movie. The settings alone were marvelous and truly jaw-dropping. It was great how they presented the story of man, how Themyscira came to be and how Diana was created. I've already watched the animated movie of Wonder Woman and was hesitant to how the cinematic one would be able to one up it.  The movie was going beautifully until Gal Gadot acting came into the picture. I don't know how she had such a difficult time acting because every scene was l...
