This Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick is a treat!

It's been a while since I've posted about a lipstick, lipgloss, or any lip color in general. People often talk about that one beauty item they can't go without. For some, it's brows, for others mascara, but for me, it's always been lipstick.  

Recently I tried out the Rimmel London's Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick and was impressed with the quality of this lipstick retailing at only $4.99. I can tell you based off personal experience that for a liquid lipstick that offers 12hour wear, Rimmel London delivers. It doesn't get dry or start flaking off your lips like other brands I've tried tend to do. These lipsticks are perfect for any food outing or even a girls night out. The color truly does stay put.

!!POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!!

CW and Archie Comics Riverdale, has been spicing up lately. Ever since we found out South Side High is going to become a prison, shit has hit the fan. 

As The Seasons Change, So Do I. 

Guys, I was starting to get so bored with the color of my hair. I let Wella come to the rescue this week and I'll tell you how. I have always had what I call "Hair Bipolar Disorder". I went through a million shades of blonde and all the colors of the rainbow. It's almost like my hair was searching for something that didn't exist. Needless to say, my hair was dry, damaged, and has lost a lot of its shine. 

Hey Nubians, 

New Reading Material... 

I went to my local comicbook store Alternate Reality Comics the other day and asked the owner to recommend some good comicbooks. He's pretty cool so of course he was delighted to do so. One of the comicbooks he pointed out was American Gods published by Dark Horse comics based on the Award Winning Novel written by Neil Gaiman. I've heard of Neil Gaiman before because of his novel Coraline which later became a 3D stop motion film but I haven't read or heard much about American Gods. The comicbook was written by Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell with art by Scott Hampton.



The novel as well as the comic book revolve around Shadow Moon who was in prison and got released a bit early due to a tragedy in his life. On his way home, he bumps into a guy who changes his life. The story is mythical and well... has to do with Gods. 

Watch me talk about the comicbook and the story in the first issue which doesn't real much yet but I know a little bit more because of the trailer. Also hear my first impressions on the Starz trailer. 




American Gods is also about to become a show on STARZ developed by Bryan Fuller and Michael Green. I saw the trailer and it looks super interesting. The first eight episodes are set to premiere on April 30, 2017. Watch it below. 



I highly recommend you pick up the comicbook and check out the show too. I'm excited to watch! The second issue of the comicbook drops April 12th so keep an eye out for it. 

Cheers!

Hey Nubians,

I've only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror. 
-Sid Vicious

This weekend I purchased a bunch of cool, interesting beers. I've always enjoyed going to beer tastings but I never really blogged about it. But as I've evolved through the years, so must my blog. I'm having a lot more fun with things like this. *I'm over 21 years old and please always drink responsibly*

I've been drinking beer for a long time. You can say I've had a long history with this alcoholic beverage. My dad is Dominican and boy oh boy do they enjoy a nice cold brew. Particularly an ice cold Presidente Pilsner Beer. When I was younger my dad would let me taste his beer all the time by taking a baby sip. I guess you could say it's in my blood ha ha. As I got older, I met my best friend and she's Irish and also obsessed with beer! Follow her instagram @TheBeerBunny where she rates beers. It's hard for me to not love tasting specialty beers or craft beers when the people I love, love them too. 

I went to my local Smiths Supermarket over the weekend and picked up these bad boys. Read below to see what I thought and what I rate them. 




First Up...

Elysian Space Dust IPA
Style: Imperial IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8.20%

It's funny, this is the first one I tried and I think it ended up being my favorite of the bunch probably due to personal preference. The Elysian Space Dust IPA pours clear light gold and taste sort of rich and bittersweet. You can taste citrus, pine, and a nice hint of malt. Honestly I picked it up mainly because I wanted to try something new and the packaging caught my eye. I was pleasantly surprised and it was freaken delicious! 

Rating 4.5/5 

Squatters Hop Rising Double India Pale Ale
Style: Imperial IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 9%

I almost felt like I can smell the hops more in this beer than I could taste them but I still enjoyed it overall. It did have a stronger alcohol taste to it which probably explains the 'Double IPA' title. It was very drinkable and the type of 6 pack I would pick up to hang with friends on a chill night. Nice citrus taste that didn't feel too overwhelming. 

Rating 4.2/5 


Kona Brewing Koko Brown
Style: American Brown Ale
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.50%

This beer had a very distinctive flavor. It has toasted coconut blended into each brew. I liked it but I would only pick up a 6 pack of this if I was going to be with people I knew loved beer and a nice brown ale. It could be a bit overwhelming for people that aren't used to exploring different tasting beer. I almost felt like I could taste some chocolate & caramel in there. It made my taste buds dance for sure and I would drink it again. 

Rating 3.9/5 


Wild Blue Premium Blueberry Lager
Style: Fruit/Vegetable Beer
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8.00%

I must say, this may have been my first time buying a Fruit/Vegetable Beer in my own home and I think it's an acquired taste that's not for me. The Blueberry is VERY present to the point where I felt like I was almost drinking juice and it tasted too sweet for me like blueberry syrup. If you like sweet drinks, you will enjoy this for sure. It is definitely what I would consider to be the lighter side of beer. You may enjoy it for Spring/Summer. Pours out a redish color. 

Rating 2.5/5 


Last but not least... 

Squatters Bumper Crop Honey Ale

So after weeks of waiting, we finally got graced with a new episode of DC Comics The Flash 'Borrowing Problems From the Future'. 

Where did we leave off you asked? Barry and Iris moved in together and he traveled to the future and saw her get shanked and murdered by Savitar. Talk about bittersweet eh? 

Now in the midseason premiere we have our poor Barry Allen waking up to these nightmares and keeping his vision of the future a secret from Iris (Not for long thank GOD!). So this brings me to an interesting question you might be facing in your everyday life...

How Far Would You Go For Love?
