Legos, Love, and Rocky Horror

Happy Memorial Day!

This past week was pretty long. I didn't get to post a recap of last weekend because I got pretty sick. If you follow me on Snapchat (@raineedayze), you saw my descent into laryngitis. It was pretty intense!

Last weekend, Jonathan and I went to go watch Lego Batman. The movie was so much fun and we couldn't stop laughing. And I may have teared up a little bit..

Sunday night, I spent most of the night reading the Lara Jean trilogy. I just finished the review for it so it should be up soon!

Monday, I felt a little off after work and took a nap. Tuesday morning, I woke up with a pretty high fever and ended up having to stay in bed the entire day. It was pretty brutal.

Then on Friday, I got an email from the Aztec theater, letting me know I had won two tickets to go see Rocky Horror Picture Show Saturday Night!! I never win anything, so I was so excited!! 


Saturday, I woke up with absolutely no voice! Jonathan made fun of me all morning. Luckily, I wasn't in pain but it was very frustrating to not be able to talk much! Eventually it came back, albeit raspy, and he kept calling me Tara Reid.



In the afternoon, Jonathan and I went downtown to pick up our tickets and grabbed dinner before the show at a cute little Italian restaurant on the river. There, I had AMAZING ravioli and Jonathan had some pretty yummy pasta. We shared a margarita that was bigger than my head, which left us feeling giggly. The Texas heat was relentless so it kept us a little cool as well.

Rebecca and I with the nicest and funniest showgirls ever!

The show was so much fun! The showgirls hosting were so sweet and complimented my dress and I had a delicious drink called a "Dammit Janet", which I thought was super cute. A lot of people left the theater early though, since I think most people thought it would be an entire drag performance, instead of just a movie screening. On the plus side, we ended up having two whole rows to ourselves so we could stretch out comfortably! Plus, Rebecca and another one of my sorority sisters, Justina, also won tickets so I was able to see them!

It looks small, but it's 60 oz of pure deliciousness

The rest of the weekend was spent playing Overwatch for anniversary skins and snacking on watermelon (it's in season finally!!). It was perfect.

5 Fandom Friday: Planets I Would Like to Visit

OMG! IT'S 5 FANDOM FRIDAY!

This week's prompt comes to us from Heather at Just Geeking By!

I love outer space. Ever since I was a little kid, I dreamed of learning about the massive universe and was fascinated by science fiction movies, especially the different creatures and wild planets! So this prompt was so much fun to think about.

In no particular order, here are 5 planets (real or otherwise) that I would love to visit! 

Here's some mood music for you while you read this post!

5. Saturn

     Yes, I chose a real planet to start us off. I've always been fascinated with Saturn. Maybe it was the rings, or just the iconic shape that plasters itself in my head when I think of "planets". I once did a report on Saturn and spent the entire time thinking I was so lucky because I got the best planet! (and also I wasn't the poor kid who got Uranus!)


4. Rosalina's Observatory (Super Mario Galaxy)

     While not a "planet" per se, I've always loved this game and the music. The observatory is kind of like a planet since it's where Rosalina and the Lumas live. Also, the music is great to listen to and the whole feel is so magical and beautiful.

3. Transsexual (Rocky Horror)

Not a planet

    
 I love the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is my all-time favorite movie. I would love to visit the planet that birthed out Frank-N-Furter and after reading Revenge of the Old Queen, I need more of this planet in my life!

2. Gazorpazorp (Rick and Morty)

    
A female-run planet that is super mega girly? Yes, please!! Plus, the fact the the entire main cast in this episode was voiced by the women of Farscape only made me love this planet more.

1. Gallifrey (Doctor Who)

    Obviously, I would have liked to visit this planet in it's prime, and not destroyed. How could I resist going to the place where the universe's greatest hero was born? 

What planets would you like to visit? Let's chat about it in the comments, or tweet me @raineedayze!

The Reviews

Flower Hurricane & Rainbow Moon Heart Ache w/ primer

All the eyeshadows were so beautiful! They glide on nice and easy and pack tons of color. I was a bit wary when I swatched them because of how incredibly shimmery they were. I was nervous they were going to be too much glitter and no substance. However, the colors are still vibrant without being cartoony and combined with the primers, stay on all day!

The primer is fabulous at what it does. However, it is very difficult to glide on your eyes since the formula is so thick. It was difficult to spread without pulling my eyelid. The stick primer was much easier but still wasn't as smooth as I'd hoped. But as for staying power, it does amazing.

Cara Mia

The liquid lipstick was GORGEOUS. The color was very rich and I felt like Morticia Addams when I wore it. I do suggest moisturizing your lips like crazy before you apply though. It can make dry lips flake like crazy. However, just a light balm underneath keeps this looking fabulous and feeling perfect!




The Sweet Transvestite Joystick was a gorgeous blood red. It had a copper hue to it which paired well on top of the the Cara Mia lipstick. I thought the color was going to be redder but it turned out to be a wonderfully unexpected shade. I definitely got Rocky Horror vibes from it and it glides on so smoothly.

Once Bitten

My Once Bitten Joystick has become a daily fave. Not too hard to pair with any eyes but still bold enough for me. It glides on with full coverage in one swipe and I like the shape of the tubes. Very easy to store and the color is great!









As for the overall purchase, the prices were great for the amazing quality of the products. I also loved the service. I ordered my products during the Black Friday Sale and received them before the 13th. It was obvious they took time in making each product great and look awesome. With loose glitter, packaging can often get a little messy in transit. I can gladly say all my shadows were in great condition with limited glitter fallout. Some of the seals inside the product were a bit shifted but since the package was well sealed on the outside and inside, no harm was done. 


My Final Thoughts

All the eyeshadows were great and I've loved the multitude of colors. I was able to pair some of the colors extremely well with each other and they also pair nicely with Urban Decay's Electric Palette. For a brow highlight, I love Mercy's shade "Right Beside You". I also love the Sailor Moon shade "Rainbow Moon Heart Ache" for highlighting my inner eye. The Widowmaker shade "One Shot, One Kill" and the Sailor Moon "Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber" shade both help give depth to a killer smokey eye and I love pairing them with the One Ring shade. Seriously, the glitter in One Ring is PERFECT.



Out of all these products I have to say my winner for best product is the One Ring eyeshadow due to the amount of glitter packed into it. It's great to pack on your lid or your lips on top of red lipstick. Basically, this is like the chocolate of products. You can never go wrong with it.
