 Summary: There's a new extreme sport getting picked up on the bare—knuckle fights pitting captured vampires against each other—or humans. Tracking the remote signal leads Claire—accompanied by her friends and frenemies—to discover that what started as an online brawl will soon threaten everyone in Morganville... This the tenth book in the Morganville series and typically it's around this time where I start questioning just how much more an author can give us before they are stretching out a story that has already been told in its entirety. They already defeated Bishop; Amelie's dad and Mr. Big Bad who practically brought Morganville down to its knees. We thought Amelie did he right thing and killed him but unfortunately revenge makes you do stupid things... I'm surprised with the turn of events in this book. The fact that a fight club was even started and Amelie and her brigade of vampires didn't get involved until the very end was surprising. I can understand her ...

Product Summary:  Skincare made for makeup. This hydrating primer instantly nourishes, plumps and preps skin to improve the look of foundation. It's full makeup prep in one step, blending the performance of a makeup primer with the cushion of a moisturizer. Cost: $95 for 50 ml ***Cruelty free*** This is my first Bobbi Brown product and I am a little conflicted. This product has been hyped for what feels like forever and after using the product myself I can understand why. My dilemma is the price tag. I liked that it was a two in one product but I could never justify keeping something so expensive in my makeup routine when I can buy something a fraction of the cost and it performs just as well.  Rating:  2 stars on 5. I unfortunately cannot seem to get passed the exorbitant price tag. While it does make my skin look lovely other primers can do the same for a lot cheaper of a price tag. I'm going to finish what I have left and will simply just move on. 

 Product Summary: Ultra-black mascara clinically proven to lengthen, volumize and curl. Delivers fully-loaded, flake-free flutter for 16 hours. Lash lovin' formula nourishes and conditions lash hair. Cost: $40.  I'm always on the market for a good mascara since I don't wear false lashes. And for the most part, I've had good experiences with Tarte products.  I was absolutely in love with how my lashes looked once I applied the big ego mascara but that love quickly turned into annoyance because by the end of my day my mascara flaked off and I was sporting raccoon eyes. Now I will admit, the flaking under the eyes depends on how many coats of mascara I applied.  If I applied one coat? We can manage and my under eyes look semi decent. But anything more than 1 coat? Oh boy, let's just say I wouldn't dare leave the house. I've already gotten into the habit of using another mascara when I know I'll be leaving the house or if I'm going out with friends.  Rat...

Another short story from Eve's point of view but this time we see more of Eve's character and inner monologue. In previous books, Eve's unfavourable characteristics started rearing their ugly head. Her flippant behaviour turned up a notch. And normally, I wouldn't care so much but the fact that she would be so brazen and not think things through before acting out in front of strangers which basically could have put her friends lives in danger just made me realize that this wouldn't be the type of person I would want to be friends with or at least close friends.  I can't believe it took this many books into the series to finally see that Eve is a very insecure girl. And she uses her goth outfits to garner attention. It was weird for me to read how in the presence of a new and beautiful girl, Eve sized her up and compared each other. To me that just seemed so weird because you would think growing up around Vampires that she would be used to being around attractive...

 Summary: The Suicide Squad follows a motley crew of imprisoned supervillains sent by a secret government agency to a hostile island to destroy a mysterious experiment.  Now this is an awesome superhero movie...but replace the heroes with villains, profanity and vulgarity and you've got yourself a 5 star rated movie. We've got some familiar faces, some new characters and an actual enjoyable movie. Lately, I've been keeping track on whether a movie captures my attention long enough that I get lost in the story and if not my phone seems to be the natural go to when surviving a shitty movie. I'm happy to report that this movie succeeded in both capturing my attention and making the time fly because before I knew it a two hour plus movie flew by.  I'm disappointed but not entirely surprised that Will Smith didn't return as Deadshot. All of that hype in the first movie just to be then replaced with another black actor who's character similarly has the same exact ...
