Maybelline's Falsies Mascara

I recently bought Maybelline's Falsies mascara. According to advirtisers this mascara is suppose to volumize your eyelashes and or give it the "fake eyelashes" look, give a very black shade to the eyelashes, not clump your eyelashes together and give your eyelashes a very flirtacious demeanor. These claims give consumers very high expectations of this product especially considering the 8$ spent to buy this product.

While trying this product I found that this mascara was not all it was cut out to be. It has a very thick factor to it's mascara which can, and will result in clumping. Another negative is that this mascara is not the blackest black. It dries to a powerdy black almost a grey color. Also, if applied to much the eyelashes stick together.

Though there were many faults about this product there are also a few postive effects. First, if used correctly the rounded brush gives eyelashes great length and body. It also doesn't run or come off as easily as other mascaras.

Overall, I'd give this mascara 3 stars ★★★( 1 star being the worst, 5 being the best.) It does a great job of defining eyelashes although personally, I'd stick to the one-stroke method to get the best results.

Crank- Book Review

Kristina has always been a good girl, until the summer before her senior year. While visiting her dad that she hasn't seen in ages Kristina starts to take on a new personality of Bree. Bree is everything that Kristina's not she's flirty, wild, bold. Bree soon get caught up in a world of parties and romance and gets addicted to crystal meth otherwise know as Crank. Even after she returns home with her family Bree/Kristina continues her addiction. Bree's addiction gets up to the point where she does crazy thing and puts herself in dangerous situations to get her Crank. 

Author Ellen Hopkins’ use of free verse poetry pushes the plot forward, creating a sense of urgency that mirrors Kristina’s growing need for crank. Ellen Hopkins also makes a point to write about the effects of meth and what a person doing meth feels like when they've hit HIGH and when they've hit low. 

This 500 page read only took me two days to read because of the fun free verse styling and attention grabbing plot. I would definitely give this book five stars. ★★★★★

And So, The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb.

Last weekend I finally decided to read Twilight, due to my curiosity about what all the commotion was about with this series of books by Stephanie Meyer.


The story begins when Bella leaves warm, sunny Arizona for gloomy, depressing Forks, Washington. At first she doesn’t think she'll like it until, she goes to lunch and finds a boy a few tables behind her, Edward Cullen. Edwards stunningly beautiful and yet, an outsider. At first Edward stays away from Bella, but eventually they create an unlikely friendship. Though Bella falls completely in love with Edward, she still can't figure out what makes him so odd to others. When Bella goes to the beach she hears the local legend of the "cold ones" Blood-drinkers that are not allowed on Indian land because they cannot be trusted. It doesn’t take her too long to put the pieces together. Though she knows Edward's a vampire she also know she still loves him. Even if he's not human


Twilight is a story about Bella and Edward romance. In amazement, Twilight does NOT follow the same stereotypical storyline as most Vampire stories. Movies and TV shows have all led us to believe that Vampires are supposed to be scary, heartless, cold-blooded creatures but Twilight shows such a new outlook on Vampire love.


The story is written in first person and told from the perspective of Bella. The readers only know what she knows which makes you even more eager to understand and read more about Edward and the Cullen Family. The character of Bella is by far more realistic and developed then I thought she'd be. Her clumsiness and shy personality truly make the book come alive.


The interesting part of this story is that the love between Bella and Edward isn't like many others. Their each other’s missing puzzle piece and they balance each other’s personalities flawlessly. They accept the fact that their falling in love and embrace it, even though they know this isn't how things are supposed to be.


All in all, Twilight was beyond amazing and had interesting storyline that always kept you on your toes. If you want a new view on a love story read Twilight. 

Beastly-Movie Review

"Beastly" is a new kind of a teen romance. Unlike others such as Easy A or 17 Again, it carries a message/lesson throughtout the movie that a viewer like me interprets as learning how to see past someone's looks on the outside,and view their inner beauty.

This movie is about a young man named Kyle (Alex Pettyfer), who has it all-looks, popularity, wealth and opportunity. He's the type of person who thinks the world revolves around him and can't turn a corner without looking at himself. When he invites a Goth classmate of his that him and his friends look down on as a "social reject" to a green "eco friendly" party for school. He blows her off and humiliates her. She then gets even by casting a spell on him, that physically reflects his personality and how he acts to others onto his body. Disturbed by his looks, Kyle's father sends him to Brooklyn with a housekeeper and a blind tutor. Kyle then encounters a drug addicts daughter whom he's encountered in school before,Kendra (Vanessa Hudgens). Although he dosen't know her too well yet. He gets caught in a situation where he offers to take her as a houseguest and promises her safety to her father. Kyle begins to become inspired by Kendra and begins slowly falling in love, in this re-telling classic of the "Beauty And The Beast."

Overall I give the movie 5 stars ★★★★★( 1 star being the worst, 5 being the best.) Although I'm a sucker for cheesy romance movies this one in particular caught my eye because of how realistic this situation is. After the movie, I found myself thinking about how much I could relate to this. No, not because I'm in love but because being a teen, I've met a fair share of people who are vain and cruel and have the ego the size of a watermelon but I also understand that most the time it's because they have some other insecurity behind their huge ego. If your up for a warm-hearted film about love, change and a new perspective on a love story, go see Beastly.
