Fantastic Four...

 

I had literally just came back from the cinema, after watching Fantastic Four. I braced myself after reading all the bad reviews from both media and 'the people' and was prepared for the worst. Then I was told that movies that get slated I generally end up liking, possibly because I am just that good at bracing myself for the worst. Well,  came out pretty blown away regardless, by its lack of substance, pace, or excitement. I struggled to stay focus after the first hour as the pace was going nowhere. By the 80th minute, remembering that the film is supposed to be 100mins, I was getting a little confused if there was at all a fight scene, or if this is supposed to be some Part 1 of 2 I didn't know about. Then fight scene came. The fight scene ended. Yes almost within the time I took to type those two sentences it was over. The movie subsequently ended, of course, in the most cringe worthy way ever - coming up with their team name.

Our standards for superhero movies by now are quite high, and I'm not sure who in the right mind thought this movie was ok enough to be released. My first impression from its trailers were perhaps it is rebooting its origins for kids who would have never seen the old F4's. Then I noticed that even kids weren't quite buying it.

One of the base problem - casting. The old F4 consisted of Jessica Alba & Chris Evans, the heartthrobs of like, ever. The current cast...? Not even close. I also got very confused as to why Sue Storm had to keep going from her real hair to wigs throughout the movie.

In case anyone wanted to know what was in my bag haha - my new coin purse (I know!), still my favourite lippy: Melted by Too Faced, my must have Olympus Camera, keys, and a pair of earrings "just in case" haha!

J'adore Dior

For Christmas I was sent these beauties from Dior: The not-yet-released Dior Spring Makeup Clutch & The Dior Holiday 2012 Lip Palette.

This Limited Edition Makeup Clutch is so neatly and beautifully crafted I can barely bring myself to dip in! It fits perfectly in your palm, and the sensation as you unlock the flowers to open the case, the high shine mirror blows you away just a little bit further. The lip-plumpers on the right even has its own silver cover. 

Get yours from the 15th January if you aren't already on the waiting list!

 

This Dior Expert Lip Palette from the Dior Grand Bal Collection for Holiday 2012 is less flashy but all the more amazing. Prep the lips of Creme de Rose, mix and match three complementary shades of pink Rouge Dior lipstick, fill in with a pink mini lip liner and finish off with a boost of Dior Lip Maximizer. Its size is on a large side; being bigger than the flower clutch above but would be perfect for everyday transformations through day and night. Only available for limited quantities!
