Feb-April Beauty Haul

Hello my kittens~~
so today's post is the Beauty haul which will include mini reviews 
mainly because I don't really overpurchase
beauty products, I only buy a bit
every now and then for testing
in contrast to Video games/ Books and nerdy things
which must be done every month XD
~~~

So let's start with my Scent I've been in love with 
Which is Couture La la~~ <3
I already had the Viva La Juicy and  I still love it
But I love sweetness in Couture La La,
I'm just in love with it~~
Oh yeah and surprisingly I always choose girly perfumes,
not super fruity, just subtle and sweet
I don't know why? Only thing that I get and is always girly~~
~~~

Next is my PrettyandCute.com haul~

I got a few things~

First is the Lioele Dolkish Veil Vita BB cream 
in Shade 2: Natural Green~
 It comes in a very cute package light purple
I got this shade because my face tends to become red for no reason whatsoever
and this helps a lot!
Not only does is help reduce pimples! Yes when I have a pimple in the morning
and I apply this, when I come home the pimple is greatly reduced!!
but also it lasts for 6 hours without setting it with powder 
with NO oiliness showing at all!!
Only after 6 hours does it show a hint of oiliness which can be taken care of
with a good oil blotting sheet~
The only problem with this product is that it's very very drying...
Coming from a girl with an Oily combination face!
that's why I always apply my Loreal UV Perfect first
which is very moisturizing but tend to become oily as the day passes,
then I apply the BB cream to get a good balanced look~

So if you have a dry skin, this BB cream might not be for you
it gets a 4.5/5 for the dryness
but it's perfect for summer, very light, breathable, doesn't need powdering to set it
and doesn't become oily after a short wear~

~~~
Lioele Secret Pore Rich Balm

I super love this balm~
it's great for when you just have a few errands to run or a couple of classes and don't feel like putting 
tons of stuff on your face~
it has powder particles in it which gives a matte finish that lasts for 4+ hours 
which is amazing considering this is meant to be a base
it also give a soft velvety feeling~
it can also be a bit drying though so apply your moisturizers before applying it
it gets a 5/5 from me
because it's an amazing mattefying base 
that also works wonders alone~ <3
~~~
Next is Holika Holika: Magic Oil Control Film~


I really like this Oil blotting sheet, the package is super cute~
and it works really well! as good as the No7 oil blotting sheets!
the only pro this one got over that No7 one is the cuute package!
otherwise they both work amazingly!!
Totally recommended for the summer~~
5/5 from me~~
~~~
OMG this is probably one of the best sheet masks I've ever used!!
It's My Beauty Diary Royal Jelly Mask


This mask feels amazing! my skin felt amazing for a whole week after applying this,
it was healthy, soft and radiant
I didn't want to take it off because it felt so good!!
but after removing my skin felt even better!
Next time I order from pretty and cute I'm order a whole box if not 2 because this is amazing!!
10/5 because it's that good!!

~~~
Holika Holika Magic Fresh Mask sheet,
this mask was recommended because I have an Acne prone skin 

The mask did feel refreshing during and after application
but I didn't see any change in my skin after use,
my skin felt the same and wasn't as excited 
as it was after the Royal jelly mask

so I guess if you were having a hot day and wanted a cooling mask this is it~
it gets a 4/5 
because it's just a cooling mask nothing else

~~~

So that's it for this beauty haul~
as you see I don't buy as half beauty products as I do to video games XD
well it's not necessary if whatever I use is doing well for my skin~
I hope this post have been helpful~

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

April/May Nerdy Haul

Hellooo~ My kittens~~
Today's post is a haul~
I haven't done one in a while cause I've been blog-dead last semester
~~~
P.S. There will be no beauty related products in this haul only nerd related things~
I'll upload the beauty products in another post~~
So let's start~

 First nerd gear!!
I got this bad boy here from @GamesQ8
They're basically my go to place, for video games and game related things in Kuwait~
 ヘ(^_^ヘ) (ノ^_^)ノ




Let's just say I really really have fun with my Ezio's blade, I haven't got the chance to wear it out 
cause ComicCon Q8 was postponed till Feb 2014 *bummer*
~~~

 Then I got some Targaryen gear from Amazon!!
if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram 
You'll know I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan, I've been reading the books as of season 1
and I'm team Targaryen!! Danny for the Iron Throne XD
My awesome Targaryen mug!! Even though I'm dying for the HBO Heat senstive mugs
but they don't ship internationally  ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ
I hope that changes soon because I want more places to spend my money on XD

And this beautiful woven sigil!! I use it now on the front of my file, but don't know what to do with it 
for the long run 【・ヘ・?】
 ~~~
 I got two games in the last month and only thoroughly played one
which will be shocking to most because I'm not into that type of games at all 
(`・ω・´)” 
I got these also from Gamesq8.com

Dark souls add a whole new meaning to Frustration, I'm a competitive person, so this game basically murder me!! I don't like losing, and the whole foundation of this game
is based on making you lose... ヘ(。□°)ヘ
This game is very painful...

I also got Farcry 3, for reasons that are entirely funny... *I liked Vaas XD*
Anyways I enjoyed this game a loooot!! I will upload a review soon about it, 
Even though it's an FPS I really enjoyed it, it has the foundations of a good game, minus 
the FPS, but I got over that~ (★^O^★)
*Review soon*
~~~

Now on to the Razer corner~~
I've been in love with Razer ever since I got my Naga Molten from them 
*(*´∀`*)
it's a love story~~ <3
*that's my 3DS with the Razer sticker on it~ <3*

I got my Razer Electra maybe a few weeks ago?
I don't remember
I really really love this headset, it's very comfortable, only a mild discomfort after
4+ hours of continuous wear, and it doesn't hurt my cartilage piercing like other headset did

I went with the Neon green one instead of the black, even though I have a black
electronics and equipment obsession, mainly because I feel that
Neon green/Black are true Razer colours~
And they make me feel happy~~

trying to play with the Green point only setting on my Galaxy
only to fail because the box have nothing but black and green XD

 I was at X-cite with my mom helping her to get a new Camera
and the dude working was re-explaining the things he already explained 20 times for some reason
I was bored out of my mind and was looking around with my eyes and saw the beautiful Neon Green
Razer sigil, the good girl I am I excused myself
and went running to the Razer sigil like a little kid 
when I reached the corner, all 3 staff members came to me asking if I wanted help
*I think they thought I was lost or something*
Mind you I'm a super awkward talker, I always mess up my train of thoughts XD
but eventually I got the words out of my mouse: "I want Razer Goliathus Omega mouse pad"
One of the staff was stupid and he didn't even work at the gaming section, saying you want
the PAD MOUSE? 
I kept repeating no the Mouse Pad XD
he was totally lost, but one the gaming section workers told me to follow him~
He took me to the Vespula....
I already know that the X-Cite workers are incompetent fools who don't even know what they're talking about, but that was too much...
I turned to him and said not the Vespula I want the Goliathus! 
finally the third one understood what I wanted
and got me the Goliathus... only it was the standard one not the Omega...
it's all they had so I took it, because I NEEDED a new mouse pad...


Either way it's a pretty thing the Goliathus is~~
I'll eventually get the Vespula hopefully when we move into our house and I get a bigger space for my gaming life~~
~~~~

And the gift of finishing the course to myself waaas~~
So Ubiworkshop Shopping~~
I love UbiWorkshop alot~ cause they have the awesome AC gear
which is my ultimate weakness, since I'm a major Assassin's Creed fanatic~

 Anyways I got the Collector's posters, which involved Desmond and all his ancestors~~
*Ezioooo~~ <3*
the posters are awesome! and not too big that you will be 
wondering how to hang them all up~
I also got the AC IV: Black Flag announcement T-shirt alongside the pin
cause when you add the Tee-shirt they say why not the pin XD 
I'm a sucker for AC sigils
and the Pin looked too cool and too cheap to say no to... *I'm pathetic I know..*

I also got the Golden Ticket invite for the UbiWorkshop free-to-play online game: The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot~
Honestly that game is pretty fun and when playing it the hours just fly by, I was only testing it out
and ended up playing it 4 hours straight!! it's still in Alpha stage, I can't wait till it's completely finished~


Here's the Awesome Tee and pin in action, the front of the T-shirt only have the Black Flag sigil on the left side, also this shirt fits a lot better than the Desmond Miles shirt, mainly cause this one is Unisex while that one was a male shirt... Yes I got a male shirt!! go away XD
I wish they'd make all their cool shirts Unisex so it would fit better on us the Female population~

here's the back! it says 1717
Ed Thatch A.K.A Blackbeard~
pretty coo, huh?
I looove it~~ <3

 The pin~~ I love all things with Skulls
but I love things with AC sigil too!!
so what happens when I get both?
OMG overload of happiness~~~ 
The pin's 1 inch in diameter, pretty good quality doesn't feel 
it's price at all~
I am again pleasantly impressed by UbiWorkshop craftsmanship~ 

And from the back you get the grungy background with the new
UbiWorkshop Logo~ <3
eternally in love with this pin~
*I'll hopefully get the armband soon~~ <3*
~~~

 Now this is Completely out of my love for my field of study
Molecular Biology~~
This beautiful DNA ring I had made by a friend of mine

it's super super pretty!! and amazing~~ <3
I haven't worn it for a long time yet considering I only got it yesterday~
but more to my ring collection~~
*it's my obsession when it comes to accessories~ <3*

So that's it for this nerdy haul~~
Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I had fun writing it~~

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

Thoughts and Ideas on Sony E3 2013 Conference

Hello my Kittens~~
Today is a special day~
Well basically a bit late,
buuut
I had tons of work I need to do before I can completely allow myself to 
GEEK the hell out~

Aaaah Sony sony sony,
Saying that you did everything right is quite an understatement~
I loved their long colourful intros as usual,
I'm a sucker for such thing what can I do,
Although for some reason Jack Tretton looked a bit too tired this year,
maybe he's exhausted or maybe I'm just reading too much into it,
Anyways moving to the good stuff!!

Let's start with PS4!
OMG!
I think Sony was listening to the gamers when they did everything opposite to 
Microsoft
They literally pulverized them!
It was beautiful~
*PS fangirl Sue me :p*

It looks so beautiful!
Even though I do dislike the fact that it's too squarish,
but the design is stunning!
Love the new controller, it looks sleek
and it's very functional~~

And to the lovely geekers out there I must show the specs of this beautiful beast

Gorgeous much?
Also some cool epic stuff mentioned by the President of Worldwide Studios
Sony Computer Entertainment Shuhei Yoshida-san on twitter that:
The PS4 is Region FREE!!!
Also the PS4 HDD is UPGRADEABLE!! just like the PS3
which is icing on top of a wonderful wonderful news~
The PS4 requires no additional charges to play used games!
You can do whatever you want with your copy
rent it, lend it, sell it, or keep it,
It's YOUR copy to do as you please~
Also no needed internet connection to play or validate ANY of your games!
The multiplayer mode however is only accessible if you're a PSN Plus member
which shouldn't be an issue considering that
PSN Plus already offer so much for so little money~
  Also good news is that the PSN Plus carries over from your PS3 to your PS4,PSV
and all~
And the price!!!
399$
Wow! Just wow~

By now I can say that Sony has committed a crime and completely killed
Microsoft... Ooops :P

~~~

Now let's move to the games:

1. Rain looked really amazing, I would love to get my hands on it,
the concept is so fresh and so lovely it's ridiculous.

2. Beyond two souls looked really really good,
I liked the game's storyline, though I don't know how the gameplay is
so I'd love to see that.


3. The Order: 1886 *PS4 Exclusive* Who doesn't like a survival-ish game
set in the UK, with Steampunk weapons? I mean that looks like a
killer combination to me!!


4. inFamous 2nd Son looked stunning!! OMG I played inFamous
and was a bit bothered by the gameplay, but I still enjoyed it,
I would definitely add this game to my list.


5. Transistor, adored the classic styled gameplay, the storyline looks pretty interesting
but not much of it has been showed, so need more digging~

At the point where they said that here's a message from Tetsuya Nomura-sama
from Square-Enix, my heart just stopped beating
not only am I a hardcore fan of Square-Enix Final Fantasies
but Tetsuya Nomura is the reason why
I still draw to this day, so I owe this man a lot <3

Anyways hearing his voice I knew he would let some Versus news slip
and Good God he did,
I teared up and was jumping with excitement!

Versus is now officially Final Fantasy 15
and is to be for the PS4,
As usual no release date, but I don't care
I waited for that game for 7 years now! I will wait for it
till the day I get grey hair... Wait... I already... have a few..
I'll just wait for it forever!
I am as excited for this game as ever~~
Thank you for the renewed gleam of hope <3

And of course Kingdom hearts 3~~
it was a teaser as expected of Square-Enix...
so I can't say much about it, but I miss it~

Now off to Ubisoft~
it's not a secret that my love for Ubisoft is growing and will continue to grow,
but...

WTF was up with that crappy AC:IV Black Flag Demo?
I actually thought it was my internet lagging,
but no, it was loading smoothly the time was moving but the game screen
was extremely laggy!
I was shocked, they could've gotten a better demo at least,
the poor demo player looked super embarrassed,
I was embarrassed for both of us...
let's hope the actual game isn't as laggy...
cause something that beautiful needs to be perfect

Now Watch Dogs, that was a good demo

it ran beautifully
it was flawless, stunning,  breathtaking
my jaw dropped as I watching the demo,
now I'm 100% sure I'm getting this~

Now, I don't know much about Mad Max, and honestly it's too late at night for me
I know it's inspired by the movie or so they say but that's it

to actually do more research about the game
but I like psychopathic looking games,
so why not?


Anyways I hope all of you my dear geekers, enjoyed this post~
Late or not,
these are my thoughts and feeling about the Sony E3 2013 conference
I will post more about both the Ubisoft
and Nintendo conferences as soon as I can~


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

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Book Review

Hello my kittens~~
Today's post is the 2nd novel by Oliver Bowden
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood~
I was really looking forward to this book
mainly because Ezio Auditore in Brotherhood
is just ridiculously manly, calm and composed
basically one of the most badass assassins ever
or so the game has showed
~~~

What I like about novels, is not only you get to read what's happening, 
but you also get to know the thoughts and feeling of the character hidden away
behind the masks they wear for society 

This is exactly what happens in this book, Oliver Bowden
has shown the humanity of Ezio,
Something even I *a psychopathic fangirl*
didn't feel from the game, it was very intesne
the hardships and betrayals from those he love 
*cough*Caterina's a Bitch*cough*
It was really effective, I found myself tearing at some parts
due to how much in pain he is, where he never shows it to anyone
only keep it inside of himself where only he gets to feel it,
All and all the book is just another wonderful Epic by Oliver Bowden
Follows closely to Brotherhood but also filing gaps where you might
not have understood them while playing the games
~~~

This book gets a 5/5 for me
A because it's an Assassin's Creed Adaptation novel
B. because it's really well written

Also, most book reviews are probably going to be good, because I have
the tendency to stop reading the book if it bores me to death
*Not including Game of Thrones of course XD*

Ok that's it for this post~
I hope you benfited from this~

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

50 Random Facts about me

Hello my kittens~~
Yeah yeah
you may go ahead and shoot me
but I did finish the most annoying course in the history of the Universe
with pretty good grades so there!
All my semi-hard work payed off XD
Anyways I've been seeing this tag all over youtube and blogs
and I wanted to do it for the longest time 
so here it is!!

1. I'm a short person, not too short but not tall enough I'm 160 cm or 5'2
yup I'm short...
