Jurassic World: Dominion (Movie Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history's most fearsome creatures. Opening Scene: After the events at the Lockwood estate, we are given an update on the free roaming dinosaurs and how they and the humans have adapted to co-existing. As expected, a black market bloomed to take advantage of these poor creatures. Of course, to help fight the illegal poachers Biosyn genetics was awarded sole collection rights to the dinosaurs to test them for pharmaceutical purposes. I don't know if it was done on purpose but the CEO of Biosyn; Lewis Dodgson strikes a remarkable resemblance to Bill Gates. Funny how they both say they do thing to 'help' humankind yet their net worth increases by the b...

GlamGlow | Bright Eyes Illuminating Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream (Review)

Image
 Product Summary: This fast absorbing formula works on all skin tones to brighten under and around the eye to reduce dark circles. Using linoleic acid and botanical extracts, bright eyes helps repair the delicate eye area skins moisture barrier and prevent puffiness while gently erasing the look of fine lines in as little as 4 weeks. Cost: Around $70. ***not cruelty free*** I ended up receiving this item in a Ipsy glam bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 20$ Canadian. Click  here to check them out.   I am a overtime queen and am constantly working. Unfortunately, that can lead to me being tired and having some unattractive under eyes. I was using this eye cream for a few months and it surprisingly worked really well. I'm still shocked that I can see such a noticeable difference to my under eyes.  I've noticed that the under eye area is not as sunken in, it makes me look refreshed and awake. I ha...

Too Faced | Born This Way Sunset Stripped Eyeshadow Palette (Review)

Image
 Product Summary: Inspired by the warm, sultry, sexy sun-kissed skin of beach babes frolicking in the surf and sound of Malibu, these 16 rich, creamy, highly-pigmented modern nudes range from flattering to sultry matte, metallic, shimmer, and sparkle shades for looks so naturally alluring, they'll think you were born in L.A.! Cost: Full price $70 however, I bought it on sale from Sephora for $33.  ***Cruelty free*** Despite Too Faced having a sub-par reputation and a history of being problematic I have always loved their palettes and have taken advantage in buying their products on sale. This is another palette of theirs that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I am never a fan of the full price tag, hence, why I only buy them on sale because dishing out $33 is a hell of a lot more manageable than $70.  As per usual, I am a fan of the natural/nude eyeshadows. I love the pigmentation and love the colour pay off. They are easy to work with and they blend extremely well. Starting fro...

Midnight Alley (The Morganville Vampires #3) By: Rachel Caine (Book Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: When Claire Danvers learnt that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving student would do: she applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but that garlic may come in handy. Now Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure her friends. All of a sudden, people are turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire's past, and an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons in his secluded home. Another great book! Just when I think the story will start to die down, Caine just suckers me right back in. I love that the books start right where the previous one left off, so you can finish one and pick up the next one to continue on with the journey. The fact that Caine is able to fit so much in just a couple hundred pages shows the talent she h...
