Reborn

Mortal Kombat Blu ray Kevin Tancharoen

I loved the original MK movie.
It was fun, campy and had great fights and effects for its time.
Part two destroyed what could have been an excellent franchise.
Now many years later MK has been reborn though the internet.
A new guy named Kevin Tancharoen who is a big fan of the series decided to do a web series that breathed new life into the franchise.
I sort of blew it off until I saw it was available on Blu Ray.
I bought it...I loved it.
The web series is so good they are letting Tancharoen reboot the whole franchise.
In the hands of a diehard fan the MK franchise is going to be so awesome.
But as far as Legacy goes...brilliant.
Brilliant fights.
Awesome FX for a web series.
And yes, a story that finally does the MK universe some justice.
Thank you Kevin, may the Nether Realm be with you.

Exactly what I wanted

Prestige Mechanical Pencil Trance 0 01 Ounce

I usually have one makeup obsession per summer and last summer it was finding the right eyeliner. My eyeliners have always tended to smudge and run, until I come home from work only to find a horrified Alice Cooper type face looking back at me. I did some research by reading comments other women made on various websites that sell makeup and the Prestige name kept getting the thumbs up by users over and over again. I ordered this Prestige Mechanical Eye Pencil in Trance on Amazon, and I totally agree- it's the best eyeliner I've ever used. I have brown eyes, but love to wear blue eyeliner sometimes, and this "Trance" color is amazing. Since this order I've also bought black, dark and light brown colors, and always in the mechanical type- no more sharpening issues for me. You just twist it up and you're good to go. And the price can't be beat, or at least can't be beat by much. For me, this is the brand I plan to stick with- I get fantastic results because it stays in place all day.

Monster High Robecca Steam Doll

Robecca is my most recent Monster High purchase, and I adore her. She's very steampunk influenced, and I love the pieced-together scroll work all over her body.

I found my doll at a Meijer's, and I was shocked to see her in stock at all, and ever more shocked when I picked up the box and realized that I actually liked the design. I'd seen pictures online and even watched video reviews and just hadn't liked the doll. She looked over-designed in everything I'd seen of her. I loved the idea of her, but wasn't thrilled by the execution. I understood her to be a limited edition, fairly expensive doll, in any case, and assumed I'd never see her in person, so it didn't bother me too much, but when I did find her, I was very pleasantly surprised.

She's a much lighter color in person than the pictures show, and much less metallic. Her skin looks polished-bronze, not burnished bronze, which really lightens the whole doll up and makes her much easier to look at. Her costume and hair are both extremely dark blacks and blues, so having the warmer toned skin makes her easier on the eyes and much more visually appealing. Her boots, earrings and goggles are metallic copper, and that lightens up the darker hair and clothing, too. Her makeup was also slightly different than the pictures I had seen (although there is now a very accurate close up photo of Robecca's face that shows what I mean), which gave her a much softer, friendlier appearance than I had expected. Finally, I had thought I would hate the back-articulating knees on this doll. Since Robecca is an automaton, her knees can bend backward as well as the traditional front bend. I was pleasantly surprised when the reverse knee joints didn't bend as alarmingly sharply as I had expected, and actually just gave the doll an air of preparing to take off in flight (her boots are rockets that allow her to perform feats of aerial skill).

She's a really gorgeous doll in person, very detailed and quite well made, moreso than Operetta and Frankie, and she feels much sturdier than some of the Monster High dolls do. I don't have that niggling feeling she's going to break at any moment, like I do with some of the Dead Tired dolls. She's so detailed and well-made, and her theme is very fun. I definitely recommend her to anyone who can find her at shelf-price!

Great Product!

Rubies Costume Co 19339 Complete

As an adult collector of the Monster High dolls, I was a little skeptical to the Ghouls Alive series.
What I've found is that typically when a toy maker starts adding electronics and whatnot to an established toy line, the quality drops. Well I'm glad to report that these did not follow that trend!

I kind of ping pong back and forth between Frankie and Clawdeen being my favorite in the Ghouls Alive series.
Unlike the other two, Frankie's outfit is just better designed and put together. Seems as though she was the original thought behind the series, so a bit more effort and thought went into her.

When she comes alive, a nice electrical 'buzz' and 'snap' is heard and her face and chest illuminate. The cool part is that you can see her rib cage (just like in the cartoons when someone gets electrocuted) right through her top.

Her paint job is immaculate, no complaint at all.

Like I said at the beginning of this review, I have a hard time choosing between Frankie and Clawdeen as being my favorite of the series. I think Clawdeen's movement is what makes her my favorite still...
Ghouls Alive Frankie is a great addition to the MH series, you won't be disappointed!

MERCIER Tightline Eyeliner intercils ESPRESSO

This is for people who don't like the Color Tattoo line because it's a cream. This is a powder set. What's nice about these is that the colors in this set go nicely for daytime use as well as for the evening as well. What I like about this set is that you can diversify your look by the use of the colors provided. You can go more natural (using the light colors) or sultry sexy (using the darker colors) all with the colors provided here. The light pink shade at the bottom is the basic lid color. The silver at the top is very glittery which is awesome because it's rare that you find this type of eyeshadow in a set like this. The purple triangle to the right is also very glittery, much like the silver at the top. Again, it's very rare to find this element of "glitter" in an eyeshadow set and I'd imagine it's mostly for evening wear, although I used it for daytime use as well. I'm not a big fan of quads or eyeshadow kits/sets but this one, by far, is my favorite that I've ever purchased. Highly recommended if you like pink/purple. I also recommend Maybelline New York Eye Studio Color Explosion Luminizing Eyeshadow, Caffeine Rush 05, 0.09 Ounce as well if you like golds/browns.
