Movie Review: Gone Girl


Hello Everyone! I hope you all have been having a great October. This weekend, I went home for the weekend and my parents decided they want to go see Gone Girl. I already read the book over the summer and it was a pretty intense read. So I already knew what happened but I am always curious to see how the movie is compared to the book. Plus, they are saying that there might be an Oscar movie and I love the Oscars and Oscar movies so that is another reason I went. 

Summary: On Amy and Nick Dunn's 5th anniversary, Nick comes home to his wife missing and his living room turned upside down. He calls the cops and they start an investigation. Throughout the first half of the movie, all the clues link to Nick. Credit Card Statements, not knowing basically anything about his wife. But then a twist of fate happens and the truth begins to unravel. I cannot say what happens because it will definitely ruin the ending but let's just say, do not always judge a book by it's cover. 

My Opinion: I honestly was freaking out on the way to the movies. It is because I read the book, I knew what happened, and the book was so messed up that I was wondering how the movie would portray the book. My first instinct was that I loved the cast. I thought the cast was incredible. Ben Affleck plays Nick Dunn and Rosamund Pike plays Amy. They perfected the roles of Amy and Nick Dunn and it was incredible. Then I started realizing that I really enjoyed the directing. The director of Gone Girl was David Fincher who is an incredible director. But overall, I actually really enjoyed the movie. I thought that the whole story line stayed true to the book, that there was not one weird added scene that made no sense. I was really impressed. 

Now, would I recommend seeing the movie or read the book first? I always recommend reading the book first because the books are normally better. But honestly, if you do not like to read, then see the movie. The movie captures the essence of the novel. 

I do recommend this movie. It definitely is not a date night movie for sure but it is a movie to see. 

I hope you all enjoyed this quick blog post. Sorry I haven't been posting as much, school has gotten in the way. But I hope you all are having a wonderful day/evening. If you have any questions or recommendations, please tweet me! 

   Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring.

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...
