Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (The Empyrean #1)

 

“Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs—on the probabilities.”

― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

Hi Everyone!

Today, I want to start this new month with a review of one of my favorite books recently. I read this book for the first time in January, and I must confess I loved it, and I definitely re-read a month or just a couple of months ago, and I decided to share my review, and I received this book as a gift too . Because the first time I read was on my e-reader app.  I read a lot of positive stuff online about this book, but I read a ton of bad reviews. And I need to say this book is just a Fantasy book and has human relationships in there, which is good with all the magic and power dynamics. 

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans; they incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet with every day that passes, the war outside grows deadlier; the kingdom's protective wards are failing; and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

 Review "No Spoilers"

This book contains friendship, knowledge, and how it affects history, how well we can preserve the real facts or the history is fundamental in the development of the real history and that the magic needs balance and we need to be careful because too much is not always the best. There is a romance between some characters, and I must confess that is funny and relaxed this relationship and there are Dragons and magic and a lot of action scenes.

I guess what makes this book is that two major events are happening at the same time. One is the journey of the main character, and the other one we are going to discover with her. I enjoyed this one so much and cried a lot to the end. The dragons are wonderful, and I feel this book is very incredible.

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas

 

“What did Aelin promise you?” Hasar smiled to herself. “A better world.” 

― Sarah J. Maas, Tower of Dawn 

Hi Everyone! 

I am back with a book review~ Now my TOC is saying I should have published Empire of Storms because my last review of this book series was Queen of Shadows and that is the cronological order but I wake up two days ago and I decided I wanted to finish to publish the reviews of this serie and I took photos of Tower of Dawn instead of Empire of Storms. But this is not an issue because this book happens in the same time of Empire of Storms. This parallels Empire of Storms (my next book review this week).

This book is like a soft balm to my soul because healed me so much. And I am not going to pretend anything else. If you dont like the author or the book please go ahead.

Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq have arrived in the shining city of Antica to forge an alliance with the Khagan of the Southern Continent, whose vast armies are Erilea's last hope. But they have also come to Antica for another purpose: to seek healing at the famed Torre Cesme for the wounds Chaol received in Rifthold.

After enduring unspeakable horrors as a child, Yrene Towers has no desire to help the young lord from Adarlan, let alone heal him. Yet she has sworn an oath to assist those in need—and will honor it. But Lord Westfall carries shadows from his own past, and Yrene soon comes to realize they could engulf them both.

In this sweeping parallel novel to the New York Times bestselling Empire of Storms, Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene will have to draw on every scrap of their resilience if they wish to save their friends. But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, deep in the shadows of mighty mountains where warriors soar on legendary ruks, long-awaited answers slumber. Answers that might offer their world a chance at survival—or doom them all . . .

Review "WITH SPOILERS"

 It has been several years since I read this book, but the feelings remain there. In this book, we are going to discover a new continent and new characters too. This book is about allies, new enemies, enemies at common, and royalty, and of course, breaking a lot ot arrongance of the main character this time: Chaol Westfall. This is a journey of self-discovery but adventure, mysteries, and a good quantity of action.

Chaol needs to be healed after the events of Queen of Shadows, and he goes to the best place on the continent where there are the best healers in the world, but he is going to discover that this disease is not only something organic in his body, but also something spiritual and parasitic. It is so complicated, all the stuff this book involves. And I have the chance to know Yrene better, a wonderful woman who inspires me to continue. 

The end of this book is so powerful because I already knew that what is coming the last amazing and powerful and incredible book so yes, I guess this book is amazing and I am happy to have the opportunity to read it.

fwee 3D Voluming Gloss Currant Review

 
Hi Everyone!

I feel excited to be here today sharing this review with you. This is the second time that I have published a review of this product, but I like this product so much that I am back with a new review I guess It was around a year ago almost since I published a review about this gloss and sincerely I dont have too much to say about this product because is pretty and is shiny and good like a gloss must be.

I received these products from Fwee as PR, and this means I am not receiving any compensation for this review. All the opinions are based in my own experience. You can read my previous review about this product in another shade here:

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Moisturizing

- Glossy

- Pigmented

- Easy to Apply

- Non Sticky

- Tinted

CONs

- Pricey

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online

Conclusions

I guess these lip glosses are so pretty and cute. I like the pigmentation, and they are my must-have almost all the time. I really like the fact that the packaging looks like candy. I like that I enjoy the cute packaging over the luxury ones. This lip gloss is cute, is glossy, moisturizing, non-sticky (super important) smells like a candy, but the smell is not overpowering, and doesn´t cause me any allergic I really enjoy all these things. 

These provide a little tinted pigmentation in the lips, and that is great because that makes them different to other lip glosses. I guess they are a little pricey because they are glosses, but sincerely, maybe that is the global inflation; not all things are like before. These glosses are good to apply alone of over apply in the lips.

COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream Review

 

Hi Everyone!

I am not sure since I have been seeing this product, because this is not a new one, but a really good one. This product has been around me for several years in samples and mini sizes, and this is the first time where in fact I actually use the full product, and I feel great trying. I received this product for free as part of my collaboration with COSRX, but all the opinions in this review are based on my own experience with this product

COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream 

INGREDIENTS

Amazing Texture

Slimy Texture

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Good texture

- Easy Application

- Moisturizing 

- Nourishing

- Calming

- Reduces redness

CONs

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online.

Conclusions

I need to start commenting on something important. You always have to make the patch test before applying this product. Because you need to check If you are or not allergic to snail mucin, because this is an ingredient that can be irritative to some skin types, and if your skin is allergic, you need to skip this product. I first noticed this product has a wonderful texture, feels slimy and melts into the skin quickly, and provides a wonderful moisturizing effect.

The skin after the application feels nourished, moisturized, and luminous. So this is a wonderful moisturizing effect. This has become one of my favorite snail mucin creams, and I love the texture, the result, the moisturizing, and it doesn´t feel sticky or heavy on my skin. I could repurchase this product. This doesn´t cause me any allergic reaction to my sensitive combination skin.
