Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask review! ♥

Hello, hello! Just the other day I was at Walmart, looking for a new, inexpensive, face wash. I frequently use my own DIY masks but when it comes to just washing my face I just uses a little soap and water. So, time to change things up! I have pretty bad acne so I needed something to clear breakouts and blackheads that I can use daily. While I was looking, THIS product really caught my eye!

 

Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask!

When I saw this I knew I had to try it. Not only is it a daily cleanser, but it is also a mask! You can either apply it, massage in and wash it off in the mornings and night or you can apply it and leaving it on for a few extra minutes as a mask! Pretty cool, huh? 

I tried it myself and it feels amazing! It has a surprisingly perfumy, pleasant smell, that isn't too soap-like. But it is really strong when you actually put it all over your face. It feels very cooling and smooth on my skin. It is supposed to clear breakouts and eliminate blackhead causing-impurities while also deep cleaning and eliminating oil for extra shine control! 

So far, I really like it! My skin feels soft after I use it and while I have it on it feels like its really working. Online reviews gave it a 4/5 which is pretty good to me! I'll keep using it and see if there is any improvement in my skin! 

If you have this product, does it work for you?

Movie Review: Pacific Rim & The Lone Ranger ♥

Debating on which one of these movies to see when you go to the theater next? I'll let you know what I thought of these movies and tell you which I think was a better choice!

So! The first movie I want to review is Pacific Rim! It was the second movie I saw so its fresher in my mind. When I saw the trailer for this movie I instantly knew I HAD to see it. Giant metal fighting machines have been my thing ever since I was little with The Iron Giant and then Transformers when I got older (even Iron Man is my favorite super hero even though he's not giant). I love, love, loved the idea of Godzilla-like sea monsters coming out of the depths of the ocean and having their butts kicked by huge robots. But while I was super excited, I was also super nervous. This movie came out of nowhere and it could have easily been a bad movie but let me tell you: IT WAS AMAZING.

After I saw the movie, I came home and read some reviews. I heard a handful of people actually gave it poor reviews and I just couldn't understand why. I found the reason was, those people were more focused on the history of the movie. The kaiju classics such as 1954's Godzilla or 1974's Godzilla Vs. Mecha-Godzilla. They wanted there to more of a story and more focus on the kaiju's themselves. The good new is, if you're not critical of the past movie then you will enjoy Pacific Rim. Its new and fresh and shouldn't be compared to older movies.

First off the graphics of this movie were INSANE. During the fight scenes I was literally jumping out of my chair. It seems to me that this generation of movie goers don't appreciate amazing detail and graphics. We are no long amazed or wowed by movies. But this movie was quiet the looker. The kaiju's were incredible and the Jeager's (the robots) were so much fun to watch. When I left the theater all I wanted to do was suit up and kick some kaiju a**.

Also, this movie never dragged. It starts with a little background story then BAM action. There is everything from flash backs, to hand to hand combat and then more mecha vs. monster. I loved it. All the actors were spot on and I even cried a bit during a flash back seen. I was gasping and jumping and cheering the whole movie. I don't want to give away any spoilers but this movie was great! I give it a:

9/10

Next is The Lone Ranger! This movie was completely different from Pacific Rim in many ways. 1. It wasn't all about graphics. Just a Native American and a ranger seeking some revenge.  Now, I heard this movie got a LOT of bad reviews and people actually just stopped going to see it, which made me pretty upset because it wasn't a bad movie!

I think many people went with the intention of seeing a high action, serious movie but while there was plenty of action, it wasn't as serious as you think it would be. My advice for you, before you go it to remember: this movie was made by DISNEY and is more suited to take your 10 year old brother then your parents. If you're going with the intention to see Native Americans and a lone ranger battle to the dead, I'm sorry but you might be disappointing. There are some excellent train scenes though!

Personally, I enjoyed the movie. Johnny Depp is such a good actor but I think he wasn't as suited for the role of a Native American. He uses many of the same mannerisms for each of the charactesr he plays in his movies so half the time I wasn't thinking "Wow look what Tanto just did!" I was thinking "Wow look what Johnny Depp just did!"

My dad was HIGHLY disappointing. He said it was nothing like the TV show he grew up watching. He, like many other, expected more serious acting and he got a silly Native America talking to a horse.

Regardless, it was a cute movie. It could have been better but it was never dull and the action was pretty good! I give it:

7.9/10 

I hope this helps you choose what movie you want to see next!

Movie Review: Evil Dead and G.I. Joe: Retaliation ♥

Hi everyone! I'm a huge movie watcher and one of my best friends and I make it a goal to see a movie almost ever weekend. I'm actually typing this a 3:30AM so that the movie is fresh in my mind. We were at the theater from 10:30 PM to 2:00 AM! Both of these movies were really good!

EVIL DEAD

Two words: BLOODY and NASTY. If you have a weak stomach this movie is seriously not something you should watch. I think some of the worst parts were the few times a limb had to be taken off in a VERY unpleasant way. The suspense is so tensebut actually once the initial shock is over its not too bad. Many parts are still sick and twisted but a lot less disgusting after you get used to it. It had me clinging to my chair and my friend and covering my ears the whole time. For me personally, I think I will still be able to sleep tonight (maybe after shining my iPad around the room JUST to make sure LOL). So much ugly demoness, scary lady appearing in the background, and quite unnecessary deaths. And remember, don't relax just yet! You think that guy or girl might be dead but you might be wrong! If you're looking for a movie close to Saw with a hint of demon possession, this movie is for you!

I give it a 7.2 out of 10! 

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

AWESOME! I've been waiting to see this movie ever since they showed a long sneak preview before another movie I saw a while ago. I LOVE good action, especially ninjas and swords or guns and explosions (basically the definition of action lol~) But this movie really had it all. So many great actors, and even though I know a lot of the ladies went just to see the first few minutes, which has Channing Tatum in it but I know we all know who the real star is:

Byung-Hun Lee, oh yes.

ANYWAYS, it was an awesome movie, no complains at all. The plot might get a little confusing here or there but it was an excellent quality movie. 

I give an 8.2 out of 10!

Sorry for the short review but it is 4:20AM! Tell me what you thought of these films!

Lush ♥

Hi everyone! Today was a break through day in my life. I took my first trip to...Lush! Now if you follow any bloggers/instagrams/youtubers that are into fashion, make up or skin care you DEFINITELY know about Lush. And if you don't, have no fear. Its basically a store (online as well) where you can buy handmade and organic bath bombs, soaps, body washes, face scrubs, lip balm, etc. The list goes on forever! But you might be thinking "So what, I can buy all those things at Walmart." Well, these products are not Walmart brand quality (p.s I love Walmart). Just judging by the high prices, you know these are more then your dollar store soaps. If you don't quite understand, visit their website, lush.com and browse for yourself!~ I recommend finding a store close to you because not only can you see what you might buy up close and determine if you life the smell, texture, etc, a employee there gave me a free test of one of their face scrubs!

Now! This is my very first time ever buying anything from Lush and even though I've gone through the website a billion times and see tons of pictures I really had no clue what to buy. There will be SO much you want, trust me! Since the only store in my area is quite a ways away I knew I had to get SOMETHING but $20 can only get you so much so I decided to get some of their famous bath bombs!~ Bath Bombs are just big (or small) spheres that you put into your bath water and they smell super pretty, make your skin smell super pretty and turn the water pretty colors. Or so I've heard! 

I got (from right to left) the Dragons Egg Ballistic and the Pink Mini. I choose them because they smells WONDERFULLY SWEET. The smell is addicting! It smells like lemon Pez only sweeter and stronger! Even my receipt smells great! 

This is the one I picked for myself; Dragon Ball Ballistic. It smells so sweet and lovely!~ It has tiny pieces of color in it; blue, pink and yellow. I wonder what it will do. I can't wait to try it in a bath! 

Here is the Pink mini I got for my best friend! It also smells super sweet and I got it because I know it will turn the water an amazing color and I can't wait to hear about the flowers at the top!

So yeah! The big Dragon Egg was $6.63 (I know right >__>) and the Pink mini was $5.25(I KNOW right?!) I think it was quite worth it though! These just smell amazing. I might update after I use my Dragon Egg and Anna uses her Pink mini. Do you have any recommendable Lush products?

Juicy Mask Sheet review! ♥

Hi everyone! Recently my brother ordered a few things from kpoptown.com (which took ages to get here!) and one of those things was a face mask for me! ^.^ Its called Peach Juicy Mask Sheet made by Baviphat. Apparently  its one of the most bought products on the site! 

The face sheet was pretty simple to use. All the instructions were in Korean but it also has little pictures to help you understand how to apply it~ I've used face sheets before myself so I know how right away. 

I forgot to take a picture of the actual mask itself (sorry!~) but if you search up mask sheet you can easily find what it looks like, they're all pretty much similar.

First, make sure you wash you face and hands to get away all that dirt (yes, there is dirt and dead skin on your face gurl!). I used it early in the morning after my usual face routine. I read online that the effect of the mask didn't last overnight so I thought it would be good to use it in the morning to it would be noticeable throughout the day. Its not very messy, most of the juice" stays on the mask but some might slide out onto the package. Once you have it out, simply unfold it and match up the eye, mouth, and nose spaces with yours! Done! Then wait 15-20 minutes (I watched a 21 minute episode of Futurama lol) and then after you feel like you've had it on long enough, take it off (you can throw it away~) and rinse off your face!  This mask in particular smelled really nice, not as strong as I thought it would, just a subtle peach sent. It was also very juicy! It was super soft and the clear liquid felt really soft and refreshing! Overall, if felt really nice. This mask is supposed to be "vital and lifting" and give you lively and elastic skin. Now don't expect a DRAMATIC different when you take it off. It will make your skin feel a bit softer and it does brighten and refresh your skin a bit. Its not an amazing product but it certainly is worth the $2! Its always fun doing small face mask/sheets like this ^.^ Since this was only my first time using Baviphat mask, I might try a different one and do a more in depth review.

Thank you! If you do buy this product, link my to your own review!
