Those collectibles reminded me of the imported Re-Ment mini sets and they are mystery boxes– you never know which figure you will get until you open them. According to the dispenser box, there are 27 different figures possible. There are no ratios printed (e.g. 1:9 chance you’d get Katniss or Peeta, etc.) on any box.

When I got home, I opened the box… and I got Glimmer from District 1.

Look how tiny and detailed the figurine looked! Small cargo pants pockets, little eyes, and a small archery set. Right now, Glimmer is back in her box on my shelf of doohickeys. Do not know whether to try for any major characters as there are 26 other figures available. And it cost me $3.48– which was less than what I would have paid for a Re-Ment collectible in Portland, but I have better use for $3.48.

The damn WordPress is still broken and I am typing this from an iPad app. I’m testing out the app so I can at least post something. After work, I found this for sale- Hunger Games mystery boxen filled with little collectable figurines. If this post works, I’m going to elaborate.

Here is a campy clip, about a dirty boy who meets a humanoid soap figure in his sleep. Cleanliness is not next to sissy-ness.

Found out that one of my classmates enjoyed classroom films as well, so I shared this at FB. This is the second Guardiana film, with a focus on outdoor safety. Like the first one, this contains low budget effects, a notch above Ed Wood.

Notice the ample use of Deus Ex Machina. In real life, these hapless kids would be seriously hurt or killed as there are no Safety Women rescuing them.

Aside from that, this film recalls the days when kids can play outside without trepidation. Skateboard parks? Yay! The lakeside? Why not?

Went to Sem to see if any of my friends arrived pre-Symposia, plus attended Divine Service with the Eucharist. After that I went to work, and after that, I stopped by the MAC counter. That song played in the background.

Tomorrow, I shall do a bit more merchandising work, and drop by for Symposia.

UPDATE!!! Found that other clip, so you can have a DOUBLE FEATURE. But it’s badly dubbed in Spanish. Ah well.

This time, I ordered from two legit places: Evil Shades Cosmetics and Black Rose Minerals. As usual, I took some pics from my smartphone with its rudimentary camera. I will review Evil Shades in a later post as I received various eyeshadow, blush and lipstick samples– a wide range of colors.

The Black Rose package has a homespun touch, a handwritten note thanking me for buying with stickers, a winter cello bag with the goodies, and two free samples in Bender (silver grey) and Black Math (a blackened red with red shimmer). I ordered the Mystery Pack for eight dollars and the NSFW sample set for $3.60. When I saw the NSFW collection and how the bright colors may not be appropriate in a work-safe environment, I thought: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. So I ordered the sample set.

The NSFW collection contains six bright colors– the shade names, description and ingredient list is available. My favorites are Mother Sunflower (a warm bright yellow) and Dionysus (purple).

The Mystery pack did not disappoint me. The pack contained 5 full jars of eyeshadow. I got Medusa (bright green), Frost (white-based violet iridescence), Sunset (light orange), Firefly (bright red), and Fly Away (white-based blue-green iridescence). When applied wet, these shadows pop out nicely. Will order the pack again.

As with most powdered mineral eyeshadows, I recommend a primer and/or eye-safe mixing medium for durability and vibrancy. Applying it dry will result in fading.
