Blue Moon (Anita Blake. Vampire Hunter #8) By: Laurell K. Hamilton (Book Review)

Image
(This review will contain spoilers) Summary: When she chose master vampire Jean-Claude over her ex-fiancé, alpha werewolf Richard Zeeman, Anita learned that sometimes love is not enough. But though she and Richard won’t be walking down any aisles, she can’t turn her back on him when he’s arrested on a rape charge in Tennessee. Anita knows firsthand that Richard has the morals of a saint—or at least a boy scout. But his guilt or innocence is not the issue. He’s behind bars, and in five days a full moon will rise… Anita yet again is the knight in shinning armor. Whenever someone is in danger and in need of help she drops everything to go and help them out. This time Richard got himself in quite a pickle to the point where Anita has to work as quickly as possible to get Richard out of jail or else he will out himself as a werewolf. I used to be a fan of Richard way back in the beginning when he was first introduced to us but now with everything that he has done and everything we've le...

X-Men: Apocalypse (Movie Review)

Image
(This review will contain spoilers) Summary: Worshiped as a god since the dawn of civilization, the immortal Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) becomes the first and most powerful mutant. Awakening after thousands of years, he recruits the disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and other mutants to create a new world order. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Professor X (James McAvoy) and Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) lead a team of young X-Men to stop their seemingly invincible nemesis from destroying mankind. This movie has been long overdue. We've had countless of X-Men movies and yet this is the first one that discusses mutants having existed prior to the 20th Century. Evolution is great but it ain't that fast. It doesn't make sense mutants with incredible abilities popping up only in the past Century. I love having a glimpse into the past and seeing that mutants once upon a time were revered as gods. Evidently, humans weren't okay with that and they were the reaso...

Too Faced | Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette (Review)

Image
Product Summary: The sweet peach eyeshadow palette is infused with the juicy scent and antioxidant rich essence of peach. Create endless looks with 18 shades of peachy pinks, corals, bronzes, and pops of purples that will leave your eyes looking summer fresh all year long. Costs: $65.  ***Cruelty free*** I have been obsessed with Too Faced and their iconic eyeshadow palettes and their packaging. This is my first ever eyeshadow palette from Too Faced and I am in love! I do have their Sugar Peach face palette which of course I adore. The packing is amazing, smells fantastic and the blushes and highlighters made my face look extremely glowy. An absolute delight! And I'm happy that it continues on with this eyeshadow palette.  First off, love the colour story. You can easily do a natural look, full glam and dark sultry look. These shades are extremely pigmented (as can be seen from the swatches above) and they blend out really well. Not only that but if you are using multiple shad...

Click here to  check them out. ***Cruelty free*** If you have been following my blog then you know I have very sensitive skin, especially, my face. And with it being winter I need something that will also hydrate. I don't like trashing products but when the product literally does the opposite of what it's supposed to do then you know there's an issue. My t-zone tends to be the most sensitive area and...
