Avon ExtraLasting Eyeshadow Pencil

Guyss!!
Currently on sale at the Avon website are my favourite cream eyeshadows, for $2.99US! 

**Pander**
Dear Avon, if any reps or any heads of the company read this (which I highly doubt), please don't discontinue these gems. They are my favourite cream eyeshadow pencil that I've tried thus far. Thank you! 

*Back To the Post*

The Extralasting Eyeshadow Pencil, is a twist up eyeshadow pencil that deposits creamy, highly pigmented shadow. it does set fairly quickly, however, it is a dream to blend. it blends so beautifully and easily whether you are using your finger or a brush, it really doesn't matter. They come in an array of colours, most have shimmer and metallic finishes, a few matte shades and even the matte shades blend like a dream. 

I have worn these pencils on days where I had to walk to campus in order to test if these were long-wearing and crease-proof and boy oh boy are they. I've worn these on the hottest days here in T&T; heat, sweat and oily/combo skin usually means the death of cream eyeshadow but these stayed in place. Believe me when I say I was beyond amazed. I have the Maybelline color tattoos but those creased on me on hot days even with an eyeshadow primer (UDPP) beneath. However, these Avon shadow pencils would not budge and it didn't matter whether or not I was using a primer. 

I have 5 of the shades, and I'm actually in the process of purchasing a few more. 
The shades I have are as follows;

1.  Sapphire - A matte sapphire blue 
2. Topaz Shimmer - A bold copper 
3. Rich Cocoa - A deep matte dark brown 
4. Amethyst - A shimmer light purple-taupe 
5. Crystal Taupe - Metallic taupe 

Pictures do not do these justice! also pics by me 

 I would never recommend a product I don't love and these I highly recommend! All my oily skinned girls who love cream eyeshadow, this is it, or if you love cream eyeshadow in general, definitely give it a try! 

I'm going to keep today's post really short but before I end, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who comes to my blog and reading my rambles, your support is very much appreciated. 
my next post may be a true ramble fest about events in the world as of late, probably won't be the most positive or happy of posts but I have a lot on my mind and I need to get it out. 
I shall see you guys next week for that ramble post, but until then, stay positive and stay safe guys! Love you all <3

Game Corner : Pokemon Omega Ruby

I'm 23 years old and I love Pokemon...and I wonder why I'm single lol. 

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a.k.a PokemonORAS, are the latest Pokemon games to hit the market and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. I bought myself Omega Ruby for my birthday a few weeks back and I somehow managed to beat the main story in three and a half days, and then went on to complete the Delta episode two hours after...{Who's a total nerd? -------> (O_O)/...I am!}

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of the original Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire for Gameboy Advance, which funny enough are the only Pokemon games I never played, so for me the Hoenn region was a totally foreign experience. The story is basically the same as any Pokemon game, a young trainer with ambitions to become a Pokemon Master while attempting to stop an evil team from destroying the world and the harmony between humans and Pokemon. It's never failed before and if it's ain't broke, don't fix it.

This remake introduced a number of new mega evolutions, some I absolutely love, and some I find absolutely pointless for example. Mega Latios/Latias and the ability to soar over Hoenn is amazing, the graphics and beautiful and the ability to find mirage spots to are home to different types of Pokemon that can't be found anywhere else in Hoenn is awesome. However, I don't see the point of having a Pokemon like Glalie mega evolve, he just looks like a grumpy snowball/unicorn hybrid and the only reason to have kept him in your team, to beat a dragon-type trainer if you had no fairy-type Pokemon on your team.

Apart from the new mega evolutions, Pokemon ORAS also introduced Primal Reversal for the main legendary pokemon, Groudon and Kyogre. Let me just say, Primal Groudon makes you unbelievably O.P. No water attacks are effective, becaue of it's ability Desolate Land, the weather condition becomes so harsh that the water evaporates, and here I was thinking that Fairy-types were OP as all heck.  
  
The one thing about the revamp that had me a bit skeptical was secret bases. I never saw the appeal of them previously, however, hunting for flags in the secret bases has me going back to Omega Ruby everyday, and depending on the number flags you collect, you go up in rank and ranking up unlocks new items for your secret base as well as allows for your secret pals (other players you can recruit from their bases) to use new skills. The one feature I thought I would despise, is actually the reason I keep playing. 

I genuinely love Pokemon Omega Ruby and I am going to continue playing it until I complete my Pokedex, GTS here I come! 

Until next time amigos, stay happy, positive and healthy!

It's 2015 : Happy New Year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy New Year to each and everyone of my amazing readers. I've been ill for the most of December and rang in the new year with a hard cough and slight fever while comforting my pup who is absolutely terrified of fireworks. I hope you all have a great year ahead of you. I wish you all health, prosperity and positivity in this upcoming year.

I'm not one to make new year's resolutions, however, I am going to make a promise to make a post once a week, most likely on Fridays and it will be a mix of the beauty and makeup as well as my gamer/nerdy loves or any random thoughts or rants I may have on a particular subject, while maintaining positivity.

The reason I created my blog, was to have a space to be free, to be myself in all my nerdy, weird and makeup addicted glory! In the few months of running my blog, I'm happy to say I've been able to do that. I've become so much happier with the person I am simply because I'm not hiding the fact that I love video games, comics and marathoning Lord of The Rings and Star Wars while simultaneously embracing my love of makeup and making recommendations to others about stuff I love.

I really want in 2015, to be more active with my blog, so I bought myself a new compact flash memory for my T3 and I've been busy snapping away, preparing for new post, so be on the lookout for those very soon.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I shall see you all very soon!
As always stay happy, healthy and positive,
Bye (^_^)/

November Favourites!

December is upon us, Christmas is almost here, my birthday is quickly approaching *sighs*, the year 2014 is almost at its end....someone find me a TARDIS ASAP! I don't know why time is in such a rush, slow it down a bit. Anywho, let me stop yammering due to my denial that I'll soon be 23 (o_o) and get on with this November favourites post.

We got a little bit of everything this month, so let's me jump right in! 

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Violet....errrrmerrrgerd!!! It's absolutely beautiful! Quite possibly the best lip product I've ever worn! It's creamy and highly pigmented liquid lipstick and the colour is gorgeous. It is my first purple lip product and it won't be the last. 

Avon Ultra Luxury Lip Liner in Rosebud is a soft, creamy rose colour lip liner which looks beautiful on its own when used to fill in the lips. This past month however, I've been using this liner in conjunction with Wet n Wild's Bare It All lipstick, talk about the perfect my lips but better lip combo!

elf Mineral Face Primer and elf Complexion Brush.

elf may be "cheap" to many but most of their products that I've tried are worth so much more than their price. The elf mineral primer is my Holy Grail primer, beating out both the MAC and Revlon primers I owned previously. It has a silicone texture which I enjoy, often times non-silicone based primers do nothing to smooth out/blur  the appearance of pores. It truly creates a barrier between your skin and your makeup and allows for your foundation to buff out perfectly. It hasn't clogged my pores or caused any breakouts or weird skin reactions, so this primer gets a huge thumbs up. 

elf Complexion Brush is the best multitasking face brush I've used. It's great for applying your setting powder and I also use it to apply my blush. Its bristles are fluffy,soft and slightly tapered so it allows for light application of powder products.

Finally the eye products.

1) L.A Colors Volumzing Mascara in Clear: This bad boy keeps my eyebrow hairs on lock down. It helped to keep my brows in place and smudge proof all day long. 

2) Mini-Sephora Palette: This was given to me as a gift from one of my best friends a few years back and it's become quite a staple in my daily routine. The dark brown eyeshadow is perfect for filling in the eyebrows. The medium mauve shade, smack in the centre of the palette is gorgeous!! My favourite  all over lid colour. My only complaint is the dark blue, it applies beautifully but when blended out it becomes patchy and loses its vibrancy, however when used to set a navy blue liner it stays. 

3) Revlon Photoready Concealer in 005 Medium Deep: I use this strictly to clean up around my eyebrows. It has a creamy consistency and has a medium to full coverage which is perfect for hiding to fine hairs around the brow that just don't want to be plucked. 

4) Avon Big Daring Volume Mascara: hnnnng! This gives my lashes life, it looked fits and volumises and the small bristles get to the whimpiest of lashes and makes them look awesome. I am in love with this mascara. It definitely beats Maybelline The Falsies for me. 

5) Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Bad Girl Bronze: Super creamy, blendable but it stays put without an eyeshadow primer...in the Caribbean. I don't know how it stay so well in humid as hell Trinidad, but it did and it blows my mind. It's a quick and easy option if you don't have a lot of time in the morning. 

6) NYX Angled Brush: I've had this brush since I was in secondary school and only now has it fulfilled its purpose. This is my go to brush for filling in my eyebrows. It's thin and sharply angled, so the brows are never too thick or too thin.

7) elf Eyeshadow Brush: This  brush is a tool of beauty. The bristles are soft and packed tightly together allowing for precise application of eyeshadow onto the lid. My go to eyeshadow brush for packing on colour and it's extremely affordable. Highly recommend this brush to everyone, newbie to pro, it is amazing and deserving of all praise. 

This post has come to an end, now excuse me while I go wallow in the fact that soon I'll be 23.....or go play more World of Warcraft!

Please let me know some of your favorites from November in the comments or tweet them to me, links are to the right hand side of the blog. 

Until next time, sty holy, stay healthy and stay positive and I'll talk to you soon.

Byes (^_^)/
