E.L.F Waterproof Eye-Liner Pen


After seeing that this product was on the "Best Sellers" list on Elf, I decided to order a few.

I purchased Midnight, Plum, Coffee and of course black. I was not interested in the Ash shade.

My pens worked well for a few uses and then began to  disappoint me several times.

After only maybe 2-3 uses, the colors did not appear to be vibrant anymore. The blue doesn't look blue and the purple is not vibrant at all. The black has to be layered on in order to achieve any true darkness. 

In addition to the poor color, my pens dried out very quickly. The pen itself looks dry and damaged even though I did nothing to damage them.

I am not sure why this product is raved about on the site. Maybe I just had bad luck. Or maybe people are just too excited about being able to get a felt tip eye-liner pen (which are usually pricey) for only $1. Either way, I would not recommended this product to anyone. It is absurd to only get a few uses out of a product, no matter what the cost is.

I hope that E.L.F does not disappoint in the future.

True Grit Movie Review


There have been many mixed reviews over this movie by critics and viewers a like.

I was a bit skeptical to see this because of that, but who can say no to a free movie?

I saw this movie with my boyfriend a few days ago.

I am a big movie buff and will watch about any movie there is. I would not usually go to the theater to see a western though. I used to go to the movies once a week but now I just go if there is something I can't live without seeing.

True Grit was a good movie (even for a western.) It was full of action that keep you entertained and I loved the character of Mattie Ross. They kept referring to her as ugly in the movie but I don't think she is ugly at all.

Although this was I movie that I enjoyed, I can understand the mixed reviews. The movie was much different than I expected. The trailer "suggests" certain things that never come to play in the actual film. In addition, this movie ended VERY abruptly (which is another complaint most people have)

Even though this movie has it's downfalls, it was still enjoyable to watch. If you have the money, I would definitly suggest that you can and see it or you can just wait until it is available to rent. Either way, you should still check it out :)
