Review

Salut Paris is my very first Essence Palette I bought at Ulta last year but it won't be my last essence palette I will buy. This palette is one of my all time favorite pallets ever and it is also an amazing palette for beginners as well who have just started out doing makeup for the first time. I have always wanted to try an essence palette since I first heard about them years ago so last year I decided to buy this cool tone pallet by essence. And I am so glad and happy that I did buy the Salut Paris pallet first from essence last year. I absolutely love and enjoy this palette so much it's one of my most loved palettes that I have used so much ever. There are 9 eyes shadows in total and they all are pigmented and they all are smooth as butter as well. The palette also has a great compact mirror in it as well which is a plus for me because I love palettes that have mirrors in them. There's a little bit or less kickback when you deep a brush in the eyes shadows also there's not a lot of fallout when you apply the eye shadows on your eye lids. All and all I absolutely love and enjoy Salut Paris palette from essence so much that I can't wait to buy more essence palettes in the near future.

SYNOPSIS

In a distant future where sentient humanoid robots pass for human, someone or some thing is out to destroy the seven great robots of the world. Europol's top detective Gesicht is assigned to investigate these mysterious robot serial murders; the only catch is that he himself is one of the seven targets.

MY THOUGHTS

Pluto was an awesome great ride to read this manga was for me. It is the first manga that I read with a plot where man and robots coexist in the futuristic ideal world. This is also a mystery manga as well where a powerful most love swiss robot Mont Blanc has been destroyed and a famous robot detective Gesicht is assigned to the Mont Blanc case. The world building of the futuristic ideal world was done amazingly well that you understood how all the ins and outs of Pluto's ideal world works. The graphics in this manga were really greatly drawn in descriptive and reflective details in every great way.  All the characters were also done amazingly well and they were all different diverse characters which I absolutely love reading diverse characters in books especially in manga. My all time favorite character in Pluto is of course is detective Gesicht and his lovely wife Helena, All and all I absolutely love and enjoyed Pluto so much that I actually read the 2nd volume already and I can't wait to share my review with you all for the 2nd volume of Pluto soon!

Review

I started to get into make-up around 8-9 years ago and I started to buy high end makeup and drug store make-up around that time as well. So I first started to buy high-end make-up in Sephora first but I wanted to start out with a smaller make-up pallet first and the urban decay the first basic pallet caught my eyes first that was in the smaller version back at the time. The first urban decay naked basic pallet is an all matte make-up pallet that was the first small make-up pallet I bought in Sephora store. I absolutely really love and enjoy this palette so much when I first used it when I first bought it 8 years ago until this very day today I still love to enjoy using this small make-up palette. The packaging is really simple and cute, it was also very easy to open up and it also has a small compact mirror inside as well. The shadows are really smooth and very pigmented as well. And the eye-shadows were really easy for me to apply on when I was just a beginner in doing make-up. But be really careful there is kickback when you dip your brush on the eye shadows and there is also fallout when you apply eye shadows on your lids as well. But all and all I absolutely love this small mini urban decay basic naked palette that was my first ever small make-up palette I bought at Sephora store.     

Here are some photos of the small urban decay basic naked palette and some swatches of the eye shadows. You can see how really pigmented the eye shadows still are. 

Here is the look I created using the urban decay basic naked palette.

SYNOPSIS

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout delivers the unforgettable story of a woman whose new life has just begun—but may end in murder . . .

Julia Hughes has always played it safe until she learned a very painful lesson. Now Julia’s starting over with a job in the Louisiana bayou—and a scorching encounter with a stranger, only to discover he’s Lucian de Vincent . . . her new employer. The de Vincent brothers share a massive fortune and a dark reputation. Julia cares for their troubled sister, but a menacing presence in the mansion—and the ever-present temptation of Lucian—prove dangerously distracting.

Lucian’s grandmother claimed de Vincent men fall in love once—and hard. Apparently, it’s Lucian’s turn. Julia’s compassionate care of his twin makes Lucian want to lay himself bare. But some secrets are better for Julia not to know.

The recent “suicide” of Lucian’s father is the latest in a string of deaths on the estate. Someone is eliminating the de Vincents. And the best way to get to Lucian may be through Julia. . . .

  

MY THOUGHTS

Moonlight Sin's was such a sexy mysterious hot read for me. I forgot how much I love reading hot romance books because it's been such a long time since I haven't picked up great romance books for three years. And Jennifer L. Armentrout most definitely delivered everything I wanted to read in Moonlight Sin's. I especially love to read about the sexy and hot de Vincent brother. Moonlight Sin's is the first book of the A de Vincent trilogy and the first book is about  Lucian de Vincent and boy this book started off hot and steamy at first then boom a bad situation occurred for the de Vincent brothers especially for Lucian. The plot of Moonlight over coming a monster loss and of course Love theirs also redemption in Moonlight Sin's that was done amazing well the characters were amazingly done great but there was no diverse characters in this book. I have read other books like Moonlight Sin's but i will say this one is my favorite book so for with this plot all and all Moonlight Sin's was a perfect hot romance read that and I  absolutely love and enjoy it so much.
