Happy New Year

Hello My kittens~~
This will be the last post of 2012 for me ~~
I have to say that 2012 has been such a good year
it was a bit stressful due to my struggling in my studies to finally be able to major
But all and all I couldn't have asked for a better year
~~
I say to 2012 thank you so much for being awesome
and I hope and wish that 2013 is going to be better than 2012
I don't know what to post, 
I did do most of my goals for last year, and I'm quite proud
minus the weight loss one
Don't get me wrong I did lose a lot of weight the past few months but it's
cause I gained a bit before XD
Yeah it's not like I'm going over the limit or anything
it's just I'd like to be more fit but I'm not going to kill myself over it
Especially since I don't have a lot of time juggling collage's classes 
Reading, Drawing and studying and all that
hopefully I will stick to that next year though~
But what I enjoyed the most this year
is actually having fun
I really did enjoy myself in 2012 and I hope and pray to continue to do the same next year
I don't know if I have resolutions for next year
 All I want is to have fun
live healthy 
Improve myself and acend to higher levels in my life
and be around my loved ones
cause I know they're the ones that really help in making 2012 the awesome thing it is
so I'm not going to make it longer
thank you guys for for being awesome
have a Wonderful and amazing new year
I wish you all the very best 
But most importantly be safe and have enjoy yourself
for fussing over silly things won't get you anywhere~~
Love and Kisses to all of you
See you in 2013 <3
and to my fellow assassins
Peace be with you my friends <3~

Korean Products review~

Hello my kittens~~
Yes this is finally here~~
I'm going to review all the Korean products I got from
Pretty and Cute website~
So let's get it on~

First I'm going to review the
 Lioele A.C Control Mousse Cleanser~~
So let's talk Mousse Cleanser~
This is sooo awesome!!!
Not because it actually does help greatly with acne 
which it does, since I got it on the week of the month that I break out the most
this lovely thing worked with the help of the TTO body shop products in killing and breakouts~
It's very foamy once you pump it out of the bottle, when you put it on your face it feels soft
and it doesn't feel too harsh, once you wash it your skin will actually feel smooth and velvety 
I was so surprised since I did have bad experience with regular cleanser
this is just beautiful
I use it once a day before I sleep so I won't over-kill my skin
I will re-purchase it again once I run out of it cause it's awesome~~
it get a 10/10 <3

Next is the 
 Etude House: Skin [Mal:Gem] Deep Moist

So I heard and read a lot about this toner being not so good for oil skin
it will make it appear oilier than usual and so on
but I did need a moisturising Toner to go with my cleanser 
cause I get over paranoid and don't want my skin to dry out even though I have oily skin
*it's just that I had a super bad experience with other cleansers*
So I apply this in my morning and night routine
and my face feels nicely refreshed lightly moisturised, and not overdone
and no it doesn't make my face oilier or something 
it actually gives a matte finish
which I'm surprised of
it's very thick, a lot thicker compared to regular toners 
which makes it a perfect winter toner cause you need the extra hydration
though I don't know how it would do in summer
I really really love this product and will probably re-purchase it
once I run out of it for the winter only
cause I don't need too much hydration in summer
8.5/10

Last but not anywhere near least is the 
Tonymoly: Mini Peach Lip Balm 

Best thing in the world!!!
I'm not joking people!!!
I got seriously dry lips thanx to Decutan and anything I use
only works momentarily and not on the long term
but after a few weeks of using this religiously mainly cause it's super cute
and it smells like OMG mouth watering peaches <3
my lips are now back to normal, and now I only use it max 3 times a day
which is a huge improvement when I first got, where I had to use ever 2-3 hours
I just think this a great product I love it
the only problem is it's that it's in a pot
so it's the packaging but the other issue is
I LOVE the packaging
so you can see my issue here XD
Ok the pot is a down side cause it's hard getting the waxy textured balm out
and it catches my cat hair and so on
but the packaging is super cute
so I'll live through it
and I will definitely re-purchase this even before my current one gets depleted cause I love it so much
and can't live without it <3
it get a 9.5/10
 for the packaging confusion XD

~~~~~
So there I reviewed three products for you that I got from PrettyandCute.com
which if you didn't check I recommend checking and giving them a go
cause they have awesome customer service and will take good care of you <3
So that's it for this post I hope you enjoyed it and found it useful~
~~~

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~~
P.S. Everything I said was my honest opinion I wasn't paid and stuff
Love and Kisses to all~~ <3

Chaos Rings for Android Review


Hello my kittens~~
I have a final tomorrow but here I am doing a post
since I seriously can't post the products review yet, since it's super packed and long
while these I already had my notes for the game while I was playing
so I just put them all in a form~

So the review today is about as the title says Chaos rings~


Chaos rings is a really really good game
it's a turn base JRPG 
which makes it my type of games
When I noticed that it was on the Android market 
and by Square-Enix, which is one of my favourite companies ever
I knew I had to buy it
~~~
So let's talk technical:
The game runs beautifully on my Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
Android version 4.1.1 
it doesn't lag
and the graphics are really beautiful for a phone game
so porting wise I think Square-Enix spared no resources
as the game is perfectly fitted on my android
~~
Gameplay wise I didn't have the time to finish the game yet
but I love the characters
the voices are in Japanese but it comes with English translation
so no worries
Also the gameplay system is super nice
it's very fluid
might be a bit complicated for those who are not used to Square-Enix or RPGs
but if you are, it'll be smooth sailing from there
the Storyline is quite compelling
I really enjoy games with good storyline above anything.
~~~
Now that we went over the good stuff
Let me talk about the thing that annoyed me the most in the game
*dun dun... duuuun*
The freaking controls!!!!
The movement controls suck!!
I would get stuck on air!!!
It's very hard to move around, 
maybe for a a person who is used to touchscreen phone games
*I'm used to them to an extent*
but these controls are horrible...
Excuse me but I'm used to great controls from SE and this is way sub-standard 
and considering you're paying for the game which isn't a very cheap price
I think around 9 US dollars
it's a phone game people...
Though I don't think it's a waste of money
since the game is great and all...
~~~~~

So all and all I will give this game a 4/5
it could've gotten higher if not for the controls
since it deserves it
So I recommend checking it out if you really like RPGs
and if you like SE
or if you have extra money in you pocket and would like to try a new game
that is awesome at everything but the controls...
~~~~

I hope you found this post useful~~

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next one~
Love and kisses to all~~

Art is Life

Hello my kittens~~
Since it's 1 am here and I'm too hyper to sleep
But still not ready to post product reviews just yet
I decided to do a post about art
~~~

I might be a weird combination considering I'm studying to be a scientist 
but still love art in all its forms and shapes
I've always been able to draw
and for some reason when I draw no matter how angry, sad, or upset I am
it all washes away
Art is my sanctuary
Art makes me feel happy and safe
Where I don't need to be anything but me and still feel the best I can ever be
I don't think anything made me feel as centred and in control as Art let me be
Art is a part of me and I am a part of Art.


My journey with art as I said started since I was a kid, I did have an off time around the 
6th grade due to the lack of encouragement and the constant negative feedback
and let me tell you
I never felt so lost and so not in order as I did then
after the 6th grade I went back to art
and it felt so good
Because I was able to express myself again
I was able to be me


I never really got much encouragement from my family
when I was a kid yes they did encourage me
but that stopped when I hit high school
it even came to points where they said to me a few times
"How long do you plan on continuing that silly drawing"
or
"Stop wasting your time and do something useful"
or 
"It's just a drawing why are you making such a big deal of it"
I never stopped though
I never listened to them
because what do they know?
They never experienced this level of ascendant in their minds
nor did the experience the liberating feeling of finishing a drawing
or even drawing to begin with
I don't know how to describe it
I don't think I can


Through good and bad Art has been here
Allowing me to be myself without any prejudice
without any hate
making me feel the best about myself even in my darkest times
even in my loneliest times
Art always made me feel happy 
the feeling is just unexplainable 
it's pure magic
that is Art at it's simplest explanation
It's pure and magical 

So if Anything I am happy and blessed to be an artist
to be able to express myself this way
I might not be the best
or might not be even considered good to many
but I don't care
Because I refuse to leave this entrancing world
just so I can do what people think is appropriate 
~~~~

Okay that's it for this post~~
I just wanted to share how Art affects me
and how important it is to me~
and by the way all these drawing are done by me

Please don't give up on your Art
for there is Nothing
that will make you feel as it does <3

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post
Love and Kisses to all~~ <3

Acne, There is Hope

Hello my kittens~~~
So this post was a bit hard for me to decide to do
but since I know so many suffer from acne or acne scars
I thought hey what the hell
~~~
So as you all know I have always struggled with acne and acne scars
I still fight with the scars till now,
but it's now getting better
sadly I don't have pictures of when my acne was most active 
cause back then I hated myself and my skin soo bad
because it was so ugly
even though I did everything I could to make it go away
but nothing worked
Last year a bit before I turned 19 I had enough, 
I went to a different dermatologist who finally prescribed Decutan for me
which cleared up my skin nicely
so no more acne cause it's dead~~
I still get the occasional zit here and there
but that's nothing a bit of Tea Tree oil can't fix
~~~

After so much work with clarifying products and toners and cleansers
I finally got to my goal skin
I still have a bit of redness and pores
but I can work with that
for that can be dealt with also


No filter or photshop used for these pics
nor makeup~~~
I'm so happy and tearing up right now because 
I remember once I was out with my family to the avenues 
and a guy made a very mean comment about my acne saying
"look at her pimple! it's so huge!! why can't she wash her face or something"
I still remember it to this day cause it hurt me so much
but now I can tell him to shove down his throat
cause not only did I finally get my skin cleared up
but  now I'm not as self concious 
this journey only made me stronger!!

So to everyone out there who is suffering from acne
I tell you there is hope,
it will get better if you take care of it
and that you are not alone 
Nor are you ugly
you're beautiful no matter what people say


so that's it for this post~
Hope you liked it
cause it's very personal and it was hard

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~
Love and kisses to all~~ <3

Assassin's Creed III Limited Edition and Game review

Hello my kittens~~
yes yes~~
It's finally here~
My AC3 Limited edition unboxing and game review~~
I'm super excited so let's get on to business 
~~
May I say I was overjoyed when I came home to find Aramex's big box on the bed~~~ OvO
it was so beautiful~~ such a beautiful day~~ <3
So because I was super excited... I forgot to take pics of the box before opening it...
Soooooryy...
Just this side mark that has the Creed's mark on it~~ <3

The box was so beautiful the colours and the design was super amazing~~
I have to say getting it was well worth the wait~~
~~~
OMG the action figure is sooo freaking amazing!!!
it's soo beautifully detailed and heavy~~~
Mind you that taking clear pics was super hard, since my cat was as excited as I am XD
so most the pics that were super clear she was in the way...

Here's the flag or part of it anyways, it looked sooo cool, this whole book like thing was inside with the figure

now you can see how huuuge the flag is!! compare it to the 9 inch action figure
O.o 
Sad thing is I can't put it up in my room, cause it's a shared room for the time being,
hopefully I'll be able to put it up in my room once we move~~
~~~
And now to the amaaazing belt buckle~~
Best thing ever!!!
it doesn't feel cheap at all
 it feels quite heavy and extremely good quality
 I wear it almost on daily basis
Cause it makes me feel happy and feel like an Assassin~~ ^w^

 ~~~
 Close up on the Action figure where you can see the awesomeness of the details~~
also ignore my PSP games in the back~
but you may enjoy Geralt's lovely glare 0v0

I absolutely loved the blood detail on the tomahawk~~ and on the boulders too~~
Soo freaking epic~~ <3
 ~~~
 Totally forgot to mention Washington's notebook, which I might say is amaaazing~
but it was hard cutting open the secret pages... I was left with an annoying 
edge...

Here it is it around 7" inches cause it's the same size as my galaxy 7 inch tab 2~~
I took it with me to Uni that day and read it while in biochemistry lab, since I was bored to death~~
and Yes I have a Hello Kitty pen case~~~ Sue me >v<
 ~~~~

Now on to the Game's review~~
Basically I've been an Assassin's Creed fan for a while now
and I love love the series so much
it's fresh and has a beautiful new concept from different games
I loved the Ezio series *I kinda don't really like Altair...*
and let's just say the new world that was created for AC3
is just mesmerising
~~~
It really took my breath away
this game actually provided me with a challenge I haven't had in a while
if keep going on how much I love it then I won't stop
So I give the game a 5/5 for graphics
4.5/5 for the gameplay *cause of the bugs I encountered they didn't bother me that much
but they still count* 
10/5 for the story *cause it was amazing, although the ending made me cry :( *
the controls get 5/5 cause as usual flawless controls
and a 5/5 for the amazing stuff included in The Limited Edition
~~~~

All I want to say is thank you Ubisoft for another amazing experience
in the Assassin's creed world~~~

Would I recommend it? 
YES!! Go get the game or else I'll throw the Tomahawk at you!!!
JK
or am I?
~~~


Anyways that's it for this post~~ 
I hope you liked it and found it useful
or fun at least~

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~~
Love and Kisses to all~~ <3

Pretty and Cute Haul

Hello my kittens~~
I know I know this wasn't supposed to be my next post
but, cause I've been having tons of midterms and quizs
I barely had time to advance in ACIII
cause I wanted to do the unboxing and the review all in one post
so hopefully it'll be up in a week or so ^^
~~~
Anyways now to this post~
I want to post my customer's review and thoughts about the experience
I had with Pretty&Cute.com

This is the main page of the website

It's a very cute website, and sells a whole range of products
I've been wanting to shop from them since I've known about them
and now that I did, I'm so happy with the experience ~~
~~~
I made a fairly normal order, and had it shipped through the express cause it wasn't that expensive
And that it would arrive in 3-5
So the thing is my country has annoying customs!!
They sent back the order without saying why, and not because the products are not allowed in
But just like that.
So I contacted the PrettyAndCute Customer service asking them why the delivery took longer
than the time said, they explained what happened
and asked me to confirm my address and asked if they could include my number in the form,
They were so sweet in their care and so nice~ they reshipped it through express mail again
for FREE, which I thought was super considerate~ <3

So basically the customer service was awesome~~
Now on to the products I got ^w^

This is the box it arrived in~~ filled with cute peanut shaped foam things in white and pink ^^
My cat was super interested

The Tonymoly mini peach lipbalm~~~
OMG It's amaaaazing!! it smells like heaven~
and is super moisturising, and the packaging is just super cute <3 

This is the seal to show it hasn't been opened and stuff~

I looove love this mousse cleanser~~ <3 it's not like other cleansers I used, 
it doesn't leave my skin dry and dying, but it leaves it moisturised and glowy
*Full review in two weeks*

Super cute toner~~~ it's different from other toners I used as it has a milky texture more than a water
one like I'm used to, but it leaves my skin soo soft and velvety *looove*
*Full review also in two weeks~*

The sample on the left is Secret pore Gel foundation, which is a bit light for my skin, but works nicely if I add it in small amounts, it gave me a flawless skin finish all day and only got oily around 4 pm while I applied it at 6 am!!!
The bow on the right was a gift from PrettyandCute which I found was super cuuute~~~ <3
~~~~

So that's it for this post
Hope you liked it, And I would totally recommend ordering from them
cause they have amazing products and sweet customer service

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~
P.S. This wasn't a sponsored post, all stuff *minus the sample and the bow* were bought by my money~
Love and Kisses to all <3

Skin Care routine

Hello my kittens~~
I finally got around to post my skin care routine
mainly cause today I woke up
and my all my extremely red acne scars were gone today
Today my skin has been the best it has
since I can remember 
and thanks to my rare patience 
and my solidly working skin care routine
my skin has been improving slowly but surely
but today I have en the results full hand~
Now all that remains is my pores...
but that doesn't bother me as much as anything else XD
This is what I do to maintain an Acne-free skin after my Decutane regimene is done
Also to get rid of my pesky reddish acne scars~
Anyways let's get on with it~~

My day time routine consists of :
1. My L'Oreal Hydrafresh Comfort velvety Toner: I like most L'Oreal toner and this one is no difference
but note once my toner ends I switch to another one, because since the Toner preps your skin for products I thought it's important to change it so your skin reacts well to your routine ^w^
2. Seaweed Mattifying day cream: This one helps in clearing your scars and helps to blend your skin in one colour, it's very moisturising, cooling and refreshing.
3. Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion with SPF 15: I love this, it feels like an extra protective layer under my Sunscreen, and it feels light almost weightless~
4.  L'Oreal UV Perefect with SPF 50 UVA/UVB PA+++: This is my favourite Sunscreen of all time!! it's soo good, it protects my skin so well, it helped in the healing process, it smells great, have a high SPF of 50, light and weightless considering it's a 50 SPF, very moisturising and hydrating. 

My night time Routine:
1. L'Oreal Hydrafresh Comfort Velvety Toner: cause my toner remains the same as long as the bottle is full ^w^
2. Lipkar Baume AP: It's a lipid moisturiser or so it says, it was prescribed to me by my dermatologist and I have to say I was terrified of using is, since me and moisturisers don't work well, but this is amazing!!! and a little goes a long way with it!! and it lasts forever!!
3. The Seaweed clarifying night treatment: This one is my fave~ cause it goes on so smoothly and it feels so refreshing and cooling~ perfect for a night time treatment.
4. Tea Tree Blemish fade night Lotion: I use this every night cause it takes care of any pimple wannabes!! If you want your pimples gone use the TTO line from The Body Shop~~
5. The TTO gel is only used when I think a pimple is a bit too annoying to exist, I usually apply it on any bump or redness at night and when I wake up it's gone~ ^w^


My Eye routine~ It sucks basically, but I notice a bit of difference in my under eye dark circles which are being lighter and lighter every day:
The L'Oreal RevitaLift: Before you say I'm too young for a lifting eye cream, I have deep set eyes, so that makes me more prone to fine lines, and as the say prevention is cure ^^
The super eyes super eyes by Soap & Glory: Honestly the only reason I use this is because it's super cooling and moisturising, but it does nothing to fill the eyes as it said...
~~~~
I know my Skin care products is missing a few key items, but I'm still in the experimenting phase~
So hopefully I'll update it soon with a new facial wash, lipbalm *cause my current one suck...* and a few more things~

So that's it for this post 
Hope you enjoyed it~
Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post which is going to be awesome!!!

*Preview*
And you say I never do good things for you :D

Love and Kisses to all~~

Update+News

Hello my kittens~
This post is a bit short and to the point~

So I might be MIA a lot these few next months
For some reason my collage is having this condensed course
so I barely have time to even breathe
and on my free time, I either rest, draw or read books
*that is not considering video games*

So my news is that I have decided to not only
use my blog for hauls, updates and reviews only
since I want to involve it more in my life
So I am going to use it to upload more 
WIP pictures~
which stands for Work in Progress drawings
Since I always take screenshots already so it's good
to finally put them to use ^w^

This way I can upload a lot more than I usually do
so hope you like this idea~~


Well since the Official release of AC3 is almost upon us
I got inspired and I started doing this~~
Also I'm working on a couple of things for the blog
which will hopefully be done as soon as possible~~

Mrs.Whites Place Tasting

Hello my kittens~~
Today I'm going to share with you the pics of a wonderful tasting 
I had today of the Breakfast/Brunch Menu
with Mrs.Whites place
Let me even though the amount of food isn't that huge *I shared it with 3 people*
I am still full from the food and it's almost six now
But the whole experience was just lovely
and the food was great
so here are the pictures of the tasting~
~~

This is the Steak Omelet: was really good I'll give it 4/5 for the omelet lacking salt...


The BLT sandwich: Quite good, the roast beef is tasty, the mushrooms are nice the
Whole dish get a 4.5/5

The Scrambled eggs: don't let the extremely dark mushrooms fool you on the side
they were very well cooked and everything tasted great 4/5

These are the Chocolate pancakes: OMG they are awesome!!!
it was just great, the pancakes are a bit crunchy the inside was moist and the marshmallows 
melts every time you cut into it. 4.75/5

This is the Roast beef: nobody could tell from any angle that there was 
some nicely poached eggs hidden inside of it,
This tasted just lovely and amazing 4.75/5

The Chilli: Is by far my favourite dish, it tastes just amazing, the beans 
the beef, the spiciness was all just perfect, I love this dish so much 5/5  


Buttermilk Pancakes: I don't think I ever ate such buttery and fluffy pancakes, they are 
perfect pancakes, they melt in your mouth and the taste is just so nice it's just
one of those dish that make you smile for their simplicity but exact taste 4.75/5


The Waffles: I'm sad to say they're my least favourite dish, mainly because 
it was almost impossible to cut though the waffles
they were really tough, but after the battle with cutting them the taste was very nice, and the ice-cream adds 
2.5/5

The Crunchy French  Toast: The toast was so buttery you can easily cut through it with a spoon, it tastes just amazing, alongside the condensed milk casually decorated with, it's just a great lovely dish to eat
4.5/5


The Original French Toast: I can honestly say this was the best dish to start with
it was  buttery, fluffy, soft and extremely light
it was just purely simple nothing extravagant about it, but it's the simplicity that pulled me in 4.75/5

The signature cheesecakes from left to right,
 Red Velvet Cheesecake: This cheesecake was quite good, but for me I prefer my cheesecakes not to be too sweet, and this was, my sister said it tasted just fine, I guess it's just me. 3.75/5

Dulce De Luce Cheesecake: For me that cheesecake tasted more like an ice-cream cake rather than a cheesecake, the after taste was too much that of a cake, but that's not a bad thing, not to me anyway 4.3/5

Oreo Cheesecake: I found that this one is the only one that tastes the most like a cheesecake, I liked it very much it taster just right to me 4.75/5

~~~~
I would like to thank Mrs.Whites Place for the lovely tasting, you can find them in 52 Degrees Tilal Complex 
In Shuwaikh, I recommend them, because I enjoyed the experience
and the interaction between me and the staff, they were so nice.
~~~

Anyways that's it for this post, 
hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it

Thanx for reading and Stay tuned for the next post
Love and Kisses to all~~ <3
