***Cruelty free***


Christmas in Paris:
This palette has a nice combination of matte, shimmer and glitter shades. This palette mainly has pink and nude shades. The formulation is awesome! These shades blend very well on the eyes and with each other. It doesn't end up blending into one solid colour, you can see each individual colour. To get the best colour pay off with the shimmer and glitter shades I apply them wet on the lid. Just mix them with a little bit of water and you'll get the best and brightest colour pay off. The packaging is super cute and I like that it has a magnet to keep the palette closed. 
Christmas in Los Angeles:
This palette also has a combination of matte, shimmer and glitter shades. It mainly contains nudes and pop of colours. I believe it's the same formulation as Christmas in Paris since it blends equally as well. I do need to apply the shimmer and glitter shades wet for the best colour pay off. 


Christmas in Rome:
I love these blushes! Mostly peachy shades and the shade cuter on a scooter is a nice deep berry shade  that can be easily used during winter, especially, on my pale complexion. Easy to blend and it's easy to  build up the colour. 

Better than sex mascara:
I reviewed this mascara years ago and I loved how it makes my lashes fuller but the downside was how much it flaked. Using it now after all these years not much has changed. It still makes my lashes fuller but it's useless on my lower lashes. After a couple of hours of applying the mascara it ends up all over my under eyes giving me the raccoon queen look. Still not my favourite mascara but it could be worse. 

Rating:
I am going to give this Christmas in the city set 4.5 stars on 5. It's a nice little set for the eyes and cheeks. And it's a perfect gift to give to someone who enjoys makeup. The reason why I'm not giving this set a perfect rating is because I'm not a huge of the mascara and the palettes were fairly similar when it came to the color story. But either I still very much enjoyed this set and am looking forward to seeing what they will come out with next Christmas.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
