Marvel’s STAR WARS #1

Jan 19. 2015

This past week was a big one for us Star Wars nerds fans. Even if you're not into the greatest sci-fi franchise ever created, you may have heard about a certain comic book already breaking records before its official release date. ;-)  That's right — Marvel's Star Wars #1 was released on January 14th, 2015! Did you know that these days, major comic book releases almost always include different cover variants? And that there exist illustrators who make their living just from doing comic book cover variants? So with Star Wars being such a popular franchise — and because Marvel's acquisition of the comic book rights is such a big damn deal (previous Star Wars comics were published under Dark Horse) — it seemed that every major variant artist, comic book store chain, distributor,...

My Holiday Sales-Slash-Birthday Beauty Haul [Food Poisoning Edition]

Dec 10. 2014

I'm on day 4 of (what I believe to be) a bad case of food poisoning. My poor tummy. My poor plumbing system. My poor family. Anyway, because today is the first day since last week where I felt semi-human yet still suffering a bit (and out of blogspiration) — and because so many of you seem to like my beauty recommendations, I wanted to share with you my holiday sales (all the Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and numerous F&F sales) - slash - birthday present to myself haul! 1.  Banila Co It Radiant CC Melting Foundation, $36 I've been using the Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control ever since I ran out of the Innisfree Long Wear Cushion. (My thoughts after trying both? The Laneige cushion provides a marvelous...

My Korean Skincare Routine: An Update

Sep 24. 2014

It's been almost 3 months since I ventured into the wonderful world of Korean skincare products. (Not sure what I'm talking about? See here and here.) And because I have tried a few new products since my last post on the subject, I wanted to give you guys an update. :-)  First things first: how is my skin holding up? I think I've mentioned before that in the past, after about a month or so of using a new product, my skin seems to adjust and adapt, somehow making the product less effective.This hasn't been the case with my Korean skincare routine at all! My skin remains softer, smoother, and more supple than I can ever remember. In fact, my skin probably hasn't been this...

Why You Should Love ‘Orphan Black’ [Infographic]

Sep 12. 2014

***spoilers below*** Because it's the best sci-fi show currently on TV. Because Tatiana Maslany is an amazing actress — hello, Emmy snub! — who plays about a dozen different characters (in case you didn't know, Orphan Black is a show about clones) with such ferocity that you could swear the show employs identical twins. Or triplets. Or quadruplets. Or even their own clones. Because you'll fall in love with everyone, and you'll have endless internal debates about which clone is your favorite. (Mine is Allison at the moment.) DAT DANCE PARTY. Because you can binge-watch seasons 1 and 2 — each 10 episodes long — and you'll be caught right up. And you'll finish the latest episode with a "NO!" (well, that happens pretty often with this show ;-)...
