The Vampire Diaries Series (The Books)


Since i love the Vampire Diaries you know i had to pick up the books when i saw them!!
The books in order from first to last...
The Awakening and The Struggle
The Fury and Dark Reunion
The Return:(Vol.1) Nightfall
The Return:(Vol.2) Shadow Souls
Let me first of all say that the first 2 books of this series that i bought are like 2 books in one cover ( if that makes sense). Example: The Awakening is one book and The Struggle is another but they are both packed into one book.Im not sure if you can get them by their selves or not but i prefer them this way.
I initially thought this was going to be like the television series but i've read them all and they aren't! The characters and basically the same with some exceptions. Like, for example, in the books Elena has blonde hair and a younger sister but in the tv series she is a brunette and has a brother. The stories and scenarios are totally different. I was really disappointed at the ending because i felt that there wasn't closure. Hopefully there will be one last book coming out that will actually have an ending....who knows! Overall i am in love with these books. If you like vampire, love story type of books then i definitely recommend that you pick these up!!

MAC Eyeshadow Finishes

For those of you who are not as familiar with the MAC eyeshadow finishes and are a little confused about what each one is...here you go...



FROST – An iridescent shine that adds a highlight quality to any colour.
LUSTRE – Smoothly pearlized; intensely frosted with a deluxe ultra-fine “conditioned” finish.
MATTE – Hi-colour pay-off in a no-shine matte finish.
SATIN – Pure colour in a satin-style finish. Provides a soft subtle non-frost, light-refractive sheen.
VELUXE – Superfine texture. Pigment rich and very luxe. Supple to apply. Silky smooth matte finish.
VELUXE PEARL – Vibrant, velvety soft with a metallic shimmer. Veluxe formula overlaid w/ high-shine pearl.(Which is my absolute favorite!!)
VELVET – Soft look finish with high-colour intensity. Has a plush velvety look and feel.
