CRIMSON PEAK 2.0

I know I know, I've wrote the review about this amazing movie. To point the title, why 2.0 is because, I'm going to tell my thoughts about this movie and the movie novelisation. Yes, you read it right. There's an official movie novelisation out there. I got mine here. 

The movie itself hasn't available for pre-order yet, hopefully soon. As I read the whole story, deeper than the movie, I realised Crimson Peak deserved more attention. 

Like I said in my first review, this movie is visually stunning and beautiful. All the details will catch your attention, even the smallest things. People kept saying it's all the CGI but the director, Guillermo Del Toro and the special FX makeup artist, David Marti, revealed behind all the beautiful creepiness about this movie, some sort of like behind the scenes. We didn't see the entire process of course, we all only see pictures but that's enough to prove that the CGI effects only add some more of beautifulness, creepiness to the movie. I terrified to see Tom's and Jessica's dummies, both looked ridiculously real! 

CINEMA: IN THE HEART OF THE SEA

I watched this movie few weeks ago with my sisters and brother on a Friday night. I meant to write this post earlier but overwhelmed with all the graduation preparation (ck, girl being a girl!), college application, and put this too darn long. 

In the Heart of the Sea is inspired from Moby Dick. I kind of familiar with this novel thou, like people keep talking about how great this classic novel but never read it and I seriously have no idea why.

When I watched the trailer for the first time, I was so excited! This movie has some of my favourite actors like Chris Hemsworth, Ben Whishaw, and Tom Holland. The trailer was so good, it caught my attention and made me looking forward for the movie. It was around 3 or 4 months ago I think. 

CINEMA: CRIMSON PEAK

First of all, I really don't know how to start. It's been few days now since I watched Crimson Peak and I haven't recovered yet from all the feelings this movie gave me.

Second of all, this might be the hardest review I've ever done. I already bad at explaining things and writing this review make me even more realise I am so bad at this. I mean, probably, this review is not enough to sums up my feelings toward this movie and all the beautiful details.

Seriously, TOO MUCH FEELINGS!

Spoilers alert! Don't blame me, you've been warned! Enjoy my thoughts of Crimson Peak. See you at Allerdale Hall! 

CINEMA: THE WALK

I watched this movie with one of my best friends. The actual plan was actually just ate burgers and talked. I didn't have any mood for movie that afternoon but after saw the cast and the iMDb rating, we finally came to the decision for book the tickets.

The Walk is based on true story from Phillippe Petit on 1974. He walked on wire crossing WTC. I have to say, this guy was insane! He was completely lost his mind because he didn't use any safety. Crap! 

VANITY: PAMPER ROUTINE

I share my how to de-stress tips in my previous post and one of my tips is give yourself once a week a pamper routine. I usually do my pamper routine on Saturday night or even better, Sunday night. 

Q: What is pamper routine?

A: It is a beauty routine that recommended to do once a week. Not your daily beauty routine, but a deep cleaning and relaxing routine.

Without any further do, here's my pamper routine: 

CINEMA: THE MARTIAN

I haven't read the book, to be honest, it's always hard for me to read science fiction books. I have to be in certain mood to read those. I feel like such a bad reader.

First of all, I have to be honest. I underestimated this movie ever since I watched the trailer. Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain in one movie again after Interstellar (even thou they didn't have any scenes together) and for me, it looked like the second movie for Gravity or Interstellar or both.

Second of all, with no means, I truly like this movie. I felt so bad to have such a negative opinion when I watched the trailer (but hey, I wasn't the only one) because it is really a great movie in every aspect. Yes, I still thinking The Martian is like Gravity, Elysium and Interstellar in one. So, it's like, mash up? I don't know.

Before we jump on my opinion about this movie, I want to give you a friendly reminder that this post might be contain spoilers :) 

CINEMA: THE VISIT

I'm not a big fan of horror/thriller movies. Well, I probably can deal with horror movies with scary creepy ghosts but thriller is really not my thing. I can't deal with murder scenes and stuff like that. My sister, otherwise, is quiet a big fan of those kind of movies. She loves - not, obsessed with thriller movies. We both love watching movies and we both are like identical twins, we almost do everything together so when she wants to watch thriller movie, I watch with her - with my hands covered my face, hardly can tell I'm watching. 

We saw the trailer months ago at theatre and that was an interesting trailer. Somehow, it reminded me of Insidious and The Sixth Sense (well, it is same director with the sixth sense) and I can say I want to see this movie. My sister was so excited to this movie obviously, and I was too. Surprise surprise! 

PLAYLIST : GOOD NOT-SO- OLDIES!!!

I'm having major throwback today! I was going to iTunes store, trying to find new catchy songs but I ended up typed Britney Spears and through her old albums!!

UPDATE: WHAT'S IN MY HANDBAG?

I bought new handbag around July and I've been wearing it for almost everyday ever since. This is a Fendi peekaboo handbag size large in the colour nude. I got it online and pretty satisfied with the service. 

This bag is amazing! It goes with every outfit and fits everything I need during the day! So... Without any further do, let's dig into it!

CINEMA: DARK PLACES

I can't compare about the book and movie because I haven't read the book yet

Ever since I saw the trailer I was driven towards seeing Dark Places. Firstly, I like Charlize Theron as an actress and a woman and I enjoy seeing her characterizations which often are full of depth which divides great actors from good ones. The poster itself was quite interesting to look at.

BOOKSHELF: A WORK IN PROGRESS

I don't usually read memoir or biographies/autobiographies but the day when I knew Connor Franta wrote a book, I feel the urge to buy and read his work. Not because he is one of my favourite YouTubers, but it is because I admire his creativity and the way he sees the world (now I sound like I know him really well) so I thought his writing will be something different. 

Unfortunately, his book wasn't available in any book stores at the city where I lived in when it came out. This happened so many times before, I get used to the delay. So I decided to wait for another month and then another years. I saw so many good reviews about this book, even it became #1 best seller at New York Times for 14 weeks (I'm not sure but he talked about this in his video) and that's something. 

I finally bought it online. The online book store that I trusted and it's from Singapore, so practically, I bought it import. It took 2 weeks until I got the beautiful paperback in my hand. Once I got it, I read it for 2 hours non-stop. 

CINEMA: THE SCORCH TRIALS

It actually took so long for me to write a movie review, especially when it comes from my favourite book. Reason is because I really have no idea how to describe it. The best way I can describe is I have two point of views which is weird for me. 

First, I don't like this movie.Second, I like this movie.

Confuse? Me too. 

Let me share my thoughts just so you know, this post may contain spoilers :)

VANITY: GO TO BLUSH!

I'm so pale

That's the fact and everyone knows about it. I don't use make everyday, to be completely honest, if I go outside then I'll go with 'no makeup makeup' that's the thing.

People see me as a makeup lover but in fact, as much as I love makeup, I don't use them everyday but, I do use blush almost every single day (starting from 2015, gotta change makeup routine y'all!) and I found that perfect shade of blush can make a huge change to my pale face.

So without any further do, here are my go to blushes that really work for me!

REVLON POWDER BLUSH - SMOKY ROSE

The colour is beige-y pink, looks and feels very natural on my fair skin. I love how it brightens my face and makes even more radiant. This blush is perfect with literally every makeup look! Smokey eye? Add this. Natural look? Add this. Colourful eye? This is your answer ;)

NYX POWDER BLUSH - DUSTY ROSE 

This blush is so pretty and flattering for my complexion, it hardly has any shimmer and doesn't require a lot of layering. I have fair skin & this blush / color gives you a nice warm, sun kissed glow that will last all day!

MILANI BAKED BLUSH - LUMINOSO

This blush is sooo gorgeous, but it's NOT a dupe for nars orgasm. Milani mineral baked blush in luminoso is the real dupe. It is a corally-orange baked blush with tons of shimmer/glitter, although the glitter doesn't look to obvious when buffed into the skin. It is a perfect summer colour that adds a nice pop on your cheeks.

CINEMA: ANT-MAN

Before I start to share my thoughts about Ant-Man, I want to apologise (again!) my posts are going to be really late this month :( I know I'm so behind of these but life happens. As you guys know, I'm in the middle of working on my undergraduate thesis and it's stressing me out! Even think about it, I want to puke already :((

Between my busyness and the temptation of going on vacation with my family, I managed to go to theatre with my sisters and my Mom. We weren't sure what to watch. As big fans of Marvel movies, we all have same doubt about this movie. 

First, because none of us read the comic, we clearly don't know the story, not even a small part of it. Second, we once read some people judged this movie (before the movie came out) and they were pretty bad. They said, "This movie is going to be bad... bla...bla...bla..." and from those opinions, none seemed excited about this movie and I was like, "Why? What's wrong?" and my sister said, "They want Black Widow movie instead of Ant-Man".

Well, fair enough. Everyone adores Black Widow and wants her movie. Obviously ;) 

But well, we never judge something from people's opinions. We bought the tickets and waited for about 20 minutes before we entered the 4DX-3D theatre. 

HELLO, ANT-MAN or should I call, ANTmazing? ;)

BOOKSHELF: THE 5TH WAVE

The 5th Wave is an AWESOME sci-fi read!  

I’ve always been interested in aliens, and who isn’t? It’s scary to imagine contact with other another species, especially one that might be inimical. There are million theories about what will happen and what they’ll want. But, I think that if there are aliens out there, Rick Yancey’s vision may not be so far from the truth. Everything is logical and explained, which makes it all the more terrifying!

I wish I read this book SOONER! 

The plot is brilliant! Perfectly paced and really smart. It alternates between suspense, action and character development. You never know what’s going to happen next and are continually blown away by each new expansion. It gets inside your head in a paranoia inducing way. Reading the 5th Wave is a little like watching a lion chase it’s prey. You want to look and you don’t. You want to keep reading because you are hooked but don’t because you’re afraid something bad will happen to a character you like.

VANITY: LET'S GET NUDE!

As I get older, I realise that my fashion style, makeup and nail polish are change. I used to love super bright colour like shocking pink or metallic nail polishes but now, I prefer to use basic and classic colour such as nude colour.

I'm not a big fan of pale nail polish because my skin is so pale so I need something to add some colour but now, my nail polish stash barely touched. I prefer to use classic french manicure or O.P.I tickle my france-y, or going with classic red but then I get bored and it finally came to decision to try out nude colour. 

I found this beautiful girl, Revlon Nail Enamel in Elegant. This is such a beautiful nude colour but what makes it even more beautiful is, it doesn't make my skin look paler but fresh and healthy.

The formula is thicker than I thought it would be. I only use two coats and the colour is already pop, to make it shinier, I use the top coat. I think this is the perfect shade for people with pale skin like I do. And also, it applies very easy! 

One thing that I don't really like is it dry longer than other Revlon's nail polish. But it doesn't matter, because for me, to apply nail polish we need to have enough time to achieve perfect result. My tips, to make nail polish dry faster, soak your fingers into cold water for about 3 or 4 minutes long. Not only faster but also, it prevent your nail polish chip.

CINEMA: SAN ANDREAS

I don't have any high hopes for such a disaster movie firstly because some of them are have no sense and so illogical. Secondly, the plot is always guessable. So, the reason why I watch this movie because it is available at 4DX-3D cinema at Blitzmegaplex. It should be good, right? 

Needless to say, it is surprisingly good! 

More to say, let me explain ;) 

PS: this post maybe contains some spoilers. If you haven't watch the movie, feel free to leave. I know everyone hates spoilers. Ciao!
