Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Anita Blake is back in St. Louis and trying to live a normal life-as normal as possible for someone who is a legal vampire executioner and a U. S. Marshal. There are lovers, friends and their children, school programs to attend. In the midst of all the ordinary happiness a vampire from Anita's past reaches out. She was supposed to be dead, killed in an explosion, but the Mother of All Darkness is the first vampire, their dark creator. It's hard to kill a god.

Annabelle Comes Home (Movie Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Determined to keep Annabelle from wrecking more havoc, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren lock the possessed doll in the artifact room in their house. But when the doll awakens the room's evil spirits, it soon becomes an unholy night of terror for the couple's 10-year old daughter, her babysitter and her friends.  Opening scene:  Ed and Lorraine take the Annabelle doll but on the way home their car mysteriously breaks down in front of a cemetery and a spirit tries to kill Ed by pushing him in the path of a truck. The doll is a beacon for spirits and not even a couple of minutes into their artifact room and other spirits were acting out.  This movie was exactly what I was asking for! I always wanted the universe to expand to show more of these old cases that the Warrens worked on in the past and to expand some more on the artifact room. This movie was spot on amazing, had great actors and the story was rea...

Too Faced | Christmas Coffee Eyeshadow Palette (Review)

Image
Product Summary: Get your colour fix from 8 tasty shadows that arm you up like a hot latte on a cool morning. There's no jitter, only glitter (and creamy perfection) from these gorgeous shades that keep you going long past morning. Bought this palette on sale for $25. ***Cruelty free*** When I first used this palette I was a little bit nervous that the lightest shade Kool Whip would be too light but it works amazingly on the lid. It has a tiny bit of sheen which you wouldn't notice unless you swatch it. I love using Kool Whip to brighten and open my eyes. It just looks so good. All these shades are extremely pigment and blend really well individually and together.  There is some fallout if you pick up too much product so just pick up a little bit of product and if needed you can build the colour up. All these colours work together so well. You can pair up any 2 colours and they will work well together. It's super easy to create a quick eye look and be on the go to start you...
