A Night Out!

Hello everyone!
Today I wanted to discuss what I thought about a movie I saw recently and I want to show you some of my recent purchases. 

Last weekend I saw The Huntsman: Winter's War with a friend. I thought that the movie was okay. It didn't really add anything to the Snow White story. 

I do want to warn you that this movie is violent, obviously it has the word war in the title. I wouldn't recommend that you bring your kids with you. I also think that there was a sex scene. You don't see anything but I just wanted to warn the parents out there.

I thought that the special effects were really neat.

There was one part in the movie that I thought was funny and that part was when the dwarf lady told Chris Hemsworth that she would be happy if he walked around without a shirt on. 

There was only one thing that really annoyed me during the movie and that was that it took the main character the whole movie to figure out something that the audience knew the whole time. 

Overall I would give the movie a 4.5-5 stars. Didn't blow me away also didn't bore me to sleep.




After we finished watching the movie we went to Walmart. I found a black backpack and a floral wallet. These are going to be my spring bag and wallet. I know that the backpack isn't very summery but I thought I could add some summer colors by adding a scarf and maybe some keychains. 

This backpack may not look very big but it is. It fits my 13" MacBook. There is a zipper pocket on inside and on the outside. There is also a magnetic pocket in the front. The backpack stays shut through a turnable clasp.

I love this wallet! I don't think you can really tell in this picture but the colors on this wallet, especially the coral, look neon. There is a pocket in the front of the wallet. On the inside of the wallet it is coral and checkered print. I didn't want to put a picture of the inside because all of my cards are in there.

One thing that I really love about this wallet is the gold zipper. This wallet is the first item that I own that has some gold in it.

Next week I will post my April Wrap-up, so look out for that. I'm sorry that I didn't post this yesterday. I started a new job recently and my schedule is still up in the air. I still plan on posting once a week but it might not always be on Tuesday/Wednesday. To know when I post follow me on Instagram and on Twitter. I always post on those social media sites to let people know that I published a blog post. 

Also guys I made a new Instagram that is going to be centered around books and my blog posts. So if you want to check that out here is the link: https://www.instagram.com/plethoraofnonsense/

Let me know in the comments if you have seen The Huntsman: Winter's War and if you did let me what you thought.

Thanks for reading!
I hope you have a good day!

Elf Makeup Haul!

Hello everyone!
Today I decided to do something different. Today I am going to show you what makeup I bought.
I am not a beauty guru. So I don't know much about makeup. I am 20 years old and I am just now experimenting with makeup. I bought mainly Elf brand makeup because it is cheap.
Anyway onto what I bought.

So here is an overview of what I bought.

Here are the two brushed that I bought. One is an eyeshadow brush (white) and the other is an angled brush (black). It does not give a brush number on the brush itself but it does give a number in the top right hand corner. The numbers are 1815 for the eyeshadow brush and 84010 for the angled brush. 

The next item I bought was some concealer. I have some Maybeline brand concealer. I bought this one because I don't think that the Maybeline brand covers the dark circles under my eyes well. This concealer is in the shade light beige and the number on the concealer is 231955E02Y.

Then I bought an eyelash curler. I haven't ever used on of these so using this will be an adventure.

Next item that I picked up was some makeup remover wipes. I was using baby oil to remove my makeup because when I first started using makeup products I heard that baby oil was a good product to use when I wanted to remove my makeup. I didn't think that the baby oil did a very good job so I have decided to pick up some makeup removing wipes. 

Next item I purchased was some eye primer. I have never used this and I heard that it is supposed to keep you eyeshadow from creasing. This is what it says on the bottom of the primer incase you want to find this shade: 21711 sheer 5L01EA

Face primer was my next purchase. Just like the eye primer, I have never used this before. This is what it says on the bottom of the face primer incase you want to find it: 83408 clear 5K01EA. This particular face primer is to help with acne. Since using makeup my face has broken out so I hope that this helps me. Elf has many different brands of face primer, so you have some choices. 

Next item I got was some foundation. I have some Maybeline foundation and I like it but I wanted to try something new. Here is what it says on the bottom of the bottle incase you want to find it: 95012 Light/Medium 5KO2EA. 

This is the only item that I bought that was not in the Elf brand. I have used a beauty blender. Mine tore at the tip when I was cleaning it. I guess I was being to rough with it and it tore so I bought some new ones and I saved money by buying the two pack. When I bought my first beauty blender it was around $5-6 and I got both of these for $8!

I bought all of these items at Walmart and I only spent around $30-35. I think that I got a bargain with the Elf brand. 

I will let you know what I think about this brand when I try the products. 

Let me know down in the comments if you have tried Elf and what you thought. Also let me know if you like these types of blog post because if so I will, try, and continue to talk about makeup in future posts. 

Thank you for reading!

I hope you have a good day!
