 Product Summary: Blue is the color of calmness, and that’s exactly what was embodied when these superhero eye masks were formulated. With key ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, restoring moisture to your delicate skin has never been so easy. They work to bring down puffiness, and reduce the appearance of dark circles, especially, when kept cold. Cost: 24 pairs regular price $40 on sale for $15.99  ***Cruelty Free*** This past summer I have been the busiest I have ever been both in work and in social life. I have worked a lot of overtime and I have attended so many events that unfortunately leads one to being very tired and in major need of a pick-me up. I don't know why but I haven't really gotten into eye masks till using Grace & Stella. First and foremost, I placed them in the fridge so when it's time to use them they will help sooth the skin while reducing puffiness. There is a lot of serum in each pack so one thing I do to take full advantage I will ...

 Summary: This stand-alone story is set late in the series, but before the Daylighters show up, and it deals with something...Why don’t the vamps have a vending machine for blood? I love these short stories! I love reading the point of view of different characters. And this time around we are reading from Michael’s point of view. I am always curious about Michael because he doesn’t emote much, he’s not very expressive and I am especially, curious on his perspective on him being a vampire but also the youngest vampire in Morganville.  Part of this short story is the vampires trying to modernize blood dispensation when the blood bank is closed or otherwise occupied…should it even be an issue though? That just sounds like either the blood bank is understaffed or unorganized. Which a town being run by vampires having a hours of operation issue seems farfetched to say the least.  The concept of blood being distributed in a more mainstream way isn’t a foreign concept but I will...

Summary:  Shane might need some counselling for his anger issues. It’s common knowledge he has them, but they made an epic appearance in Bite Club, and surely if he didn’t seek some help, someone would seek it for him … leading to this Amelie-mandated counselling session with Dr Theo Goldman, who is the closest thing the Morganville vampires have to a mental health professional. Another awesome short story! I always was curious how Shane viewed Claire. Claire is described as being skinny, short haired and quite young looking. She doesn't exude sex appeal like Monica or Glory, however, she is a smart girl who has grown into her own and is no longer a little mouse just trying to avoid any sort of conflict or confrontation.  I loved how Shane went it detail for his love for her. One of the many questions I have when it comes to those two is if they will stay together. When we were first introduced to Claire, she went to Morganville for University and she wanted to head to MIT rig...

Summary: Myrnin and Oliver, who have a strange affinity, mostly because they’re both capable of being utterly weird and cruel when pushed, but also capable of kindness, too. Myrnin’s kindness is on display here, but so is his weirdness, and Oliver’s cruelty. A little of everything, and a creepy tale of a pursuit that ends in a sinister house with secrets, ghosts, lies, and monsters. I am beyond impressed with this short story! And I didn't know that I needed some more Oliver and Myrnin scenes. I love how they interact with each other and I am curious to know exactly how old they both are. It was also so interesting how one is haunted by the past while the other looks only to the future and does not like to dwell on things that cannot be changed. There is definitely a lot that we can learn from those two and I am so happy we got this insight!  Do you know what is scarier than an old vampire who is a little psycho? The ghost of a little girl who scares said psycho vampire. It's n...

 Product Summary: This clay mask enhanced with strawberry extract helps tone sine and diminish the appearance of large pores. Shea and cocoa butter nourish and moisturize. Perfect for the t-zone, normal and dry skin types. Cost: $3-5 ***Cruelty free*** I am a big fan of skincare and I try to be mindful not to overly cleanse my face so I don't ruin my skin barrier. So I haven't used a clay mask since before the start of the summer but I have used gentle cleansers at most 1-2 a week. So I am in need for a good purge.  When it comes to my skin and the week leading up to my period it can at times look a little rough and sometimes my t-zone will have a surprise pimple. This mask came at the right time to help my skin out.  It helped purge some of the stubborn black heads on my nose and improved the look of my pores! One of my favourite things about using Freeman beauty clay masks is how it tightens the skin while brightening it at the same time.  Rating: No surprise but t...
