Let’s know more about how much these movies made!

Avatar (2009)

Directed by the legend, James Cameron, Avatar has earned a whopping 2.79 billion dollars on box office. It secures the top spot in our list and it seems to remain there. The world that Cameron created and the anti-war message that was given makes this movie worth all this fame and glory. He thinks that he can give a transformative experience to mankind with movies. And he did inspire many people with his depiction of the world of Pandora. The 3D technology made the movie state of the art.

Titanic (1997)

Again by the same director James Cameron, Titanic earned a massive 2.19 billion dollars on the box office. This blockbuster epic romantic movie is still universally popular in the pop culture zeitgeist. The chemistry between Kate and Leo was beyond charming. The title song sung by Celine Dion is still loved. The depiction of the true event of Titanic wreckage was marvelous. No one can defeat Cameron in the art of storytelling. The historical details of the event and the fictional romance made this movie hard to forget ever.

The Avengers (2012)

Directed by Joss Whedon, the movie has earned 1.52 billion dollars on the box office. The directorial skills of Whedon are praiseworthy. The fans of superhero movies simply loved it and for all the right reasons. There’s no doubt that the Fantastic Four and X-Men also received a grand screen treatment. But Avengers take the lead because of its evolving characters. The superhero team made the audience love the action.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Again Avengers! The series actually made a lot. Infinity War grossed 2.05 billion dollars. The directors, Anthony, and Joe Russo have fully embraced the grandeur of this series. Comic book lovers still rant about how this comic book series is not fully grasped. Still, the series was watched across the world. The melodrama and sheer spectacle make a worth watching.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

Grossing grandly on the box office, around 2.07 billion dollars, the movie is directed by J.J. Abrams. The trilogy feels just right despite some absurd dialogues. While they had the technology and budget restraints in the first three movies, the overabundance in this one allowed a good balance of special and practical effects. The Force Awakens was much better than all its prequels.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Avengers is appearing for the third time in this list. With grossing 1.41 billion dollars on the box office, this was the second one in the Avengers series. It suffered an immediate blowback but then was received warmly. It was a thoroughly entertaining movie and became a record-smashing original for Joss Whedon. People are simply in love with this team of superheroes.

Black Panther (2018)

Again a superhero movie, Black Panther grossed around $1.35 billion on the box office. Directed by Ryan Coogler, this one is a Disney movie. Yet, the action scenes and the depiction of the world of Wakanda were beyond amazing. The director broke the stereotypes by making a black superhero as they did it in Captain Marvel too by making a woman a superhero. Chadwick Aaron Boseman performed amazingly well.

Furious 7 (2015)

Grossing $1.52 billion on the box office, this action series has won our heart. Directed by James Wan, Furious 7 was full of adrenaline rush and mind-blowing action. Although most of the stunts defy physics, yet we love seeing all this action. And the star-studded cast was also hard to miss. One of the main stars of the Fast and Furious franchise, Paul Walker passed away in a car crash before they could complete the filming. This added to the nostalgic impact of the movie. The fans simply loved it.


Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

This is the second Star Wars movie on our list and it earned a massive $1.33 billion on the box office. Rian Johnson, the director took the liberty of making this part more daring than its predecessor part. The movie is full of thrill and action. The Last Jedi has challenged the audience and the whole series by blowing up the universe and rebuilding a new one. The movie gives a whole new direction to all the myths.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is last on our list by earning $1.34 billion on the box office. David Yates, the director remained consistent with epic narrative and visuals just like the rest of the parts. It is perhaps the best of all the 8 Potter movies. The fans loved the performance of the three main actors Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint.

If you haven’t watched any of this (although it is highly unlikely) we would suggest you watch it in pristine HD quality. Since they are old now, you can find their HD and Blu-ray prints easily.

What Brown Girls Should Know About BB Creams for Dark Skin

Wazzup Pilipinas!

BB creams, which is a short form for “Beauty Balm," might be entirely new to you. These creams are, however, not new to the beauty industry. They were first made use of in Germany in the 1950s, and since the 1980s, they have been made use of regularly by Asians. Unlike the Germans and Asians, not many brown girls have been able to explore BB creams. While there could be quite a number of reasons for this, one reason why not many brown girls have given BB creams a lot of attention is because they do not know much about it and how it can be beneficial to their skins.

Below are specific details about BB creams for dark skin, which brown girls should know to have a good level of interest in BB creams.

BB Creams Can Care for a Variety of Skin Issues

BB creams have quite a number of functions. The exact function of the BB cream you purchase is dependent on the ingredients that it is made from. BB creams can play the role of a primer, a foundation, sun protection and can also moisturize the skin. That is not all; they sometimes contain anti-aging properties. The presence of certain ingredients in BB creams can help brown women deal with dark spots which are associated with pimples. They function by ensuring that black spots do not get darker and the skin tone is even.

One other fantastic function of BB creams is they can be used to address a darkening of the skin on the face. This darkening generally occurs on the cheek and forehead.

How to Avoid Mistakes when Shopping for BB Creams

Just like one could make mistakes when shopping for other products, there could be mistakes when shopping for BB Creams. So, to avoid making any mistakes, it is crucial to make use of a sample before making a purchase. You should check out the result of the use of this product both in artificial, as well as natural lightings. This is important because what works for one person might not work for another person.

What Ways do the Ingredients in BB Creams Enhance Darker Skin Tones?

There are lots of beneficial ingredients in BB creams. But the particular ingredient that is very beneficial to darker skin tones is sunscreen. This seems quite strange as people with dark skins will naturally assume that they do not need sunscreens. The truth is that regardless of our colors, parts of our bodies that are frequently covered usually have a better appearance than parts of the body that are not covered. The implication of this is the regular use of BB creams can make brown women have better complexions. Although the presence of melanin in the skin of brown women can protect them against the sun to a large extent, the sunscreen provided by BB creams can offer a lot more protection from the darkening effects of the sun.
