Quick Tip: How to Prevent Wrinkles (no medicine or anything needed)

Hey guys, I wanted to share a quick tip with everyone on how to prevent wrinkles. I am in my teen years so luckily, I don't have to worry too much. But it's never too early to prevent!

Did you know, sleeping on your stomach or side causes wrinkles? I know what you guys are thinking, you are crazy, what are you talking about. Well your head weighs about 7-9 pounds, and when you put your face against the pillow, your skin is being pressured by the weight of your head. Most doctors can tell what side you sleep on the most, because that's where most of the  wrinkles are.

I thought that was an interesting tip that I would share with you guys. I was going through my mom's old RedBook magazines from '08 and I came across this tip, so I thought it would share it with you guys, since it's never too early to start preventing!

Loving the Naked 2 Palette!

I was going to do an in depth review, but I realized that most of you guys have this product! And I sure did jump on the bandwagon pretty late, I recently got it about a month or two ago and I have just been absolutely twitterpated by this product! The only color that doesn't swatch really well is Foxy but it is definitely a great color, I use it everyday, I know that you can barely even see the color but that is only because I only did one swipe of each eyeshadow but that color is really nice and enhancing.

I know most of you own this and absolutely love it, and so have I! All I can say is that, I love this product because it has all the color I need for on the go and anywhere and it's just so convenient! It's all in one product and everything is so pigmented (Foxy is a little bit light but it's a really nice brow bone/inner corner color, I just did a bad swatch off it :/ )

Overall, the $50 is TOTALLY worth it and that's coming from a bargain shopper that is extremely cheap about everything but I can honestly say that this was worth the $50 because all of the eyeshadows are silky, pigmented and exceeded my expectations!

Review: Benefit Benetint

After hearing a ton of raves about this product I decided to get it, not the full size though, I got the trio which came with posietint and highbeam, which my review of those product will come soon :) anyways, after owning this for about over 5 or 6 months, I thought it was time to a do a review!

The reason why I go this product was basically because I've heard so many great things about this product, I thought why not just give it a shot.

PROS:
-Natural Looking (Once you blend it in it just looks like a natural flush)
-Beautiful Sheen (It's like you're flustered or something but it's so natural and it gives you this beautiful sheen)
-Easy to use (You just blend it in)
-Versatile (Lips, cheeks )
-Great color

CONS:
-Pricey! Bleh! 29$ I didn't pay full price because I did get this in a set but the full price would be 29$
-You have to work with this really fast

Overall: 5/5
I find most blushes to be very not natural looking but not this product, it's so natural, it's just a like a natural flush. Since I don't get red this product just works amazing, you can build it up with you want too. I have medium-light skin and it works nice but when my mom wears this it looks just amazing, she has light skin and it's just stunning on her! It's a must have because it's the flushed color that we all want and it's amazing.

Repurchasing? Yes, FOR sure :)

Target Haul

Josephine's Crazy Target Haul! Okay, I understand that this isn't as crazy as some of the hauls I've seen, but this one is the craziest one for me yet. I usually just buy one or two things at target but today I had to get a basket! Haha! Okay, so this is what I got...

I got two of the ELF Holiday Palettes... both at the cost of 5$ Each!

ELF Holiday Palette in "Glitter Eye" A palette with a range of all different colors and comes with 12 colors, a double sided applicator as well as a brightening eye pencil.

Elf Holiday Palette in "Smoky Eye" A palette that comes with some smoky colors but there are some blues and such too it, it comes with 3 cream eyeliners/shadows, 9 colors, a double sided applicator, as well as a brightening eye pencil.

The next elf thing is....
 ELF Studio Powder "Taklon" Brush Wow, this brush is so soft, I'm in love already it has a flat top and is perfect for powder and blush. Cost: 3 $

Maybelline Flasies Flared Mascara I got this mainly because my friend told me that she got it and she was in love with it and it has a spoon brush like and she has amazing lashes, so I'm very excited to try this out! Cost:4.99$

NYC Liquid Liner  I got this mainly because I thought that it was felt tip eyeliner pen, but I didn't look close enough, but oh well, I'm still going to use it up, and it was only 2.99

ELF Gel Cream Eyeliner  got this mainly for my mom because I already have one of my own and it's abosutely amazing and it works wonders, and plus it's cheap it was only 3 $

Maybelline Mineral Powder Sorry guys, I accidentally photographed this in the picture but I actually didn't get it at target, I got it at Ross, I just did a post on it, so check it out!

Maybelline Define-A-Line in "Ebony Black" I mainly just got this because my friend actually uses it and I really like it because I used hers before and it works amazing, it's very black and pigmented Cost:  5-6 $ 

Well, that was a wrap, oh wait, I got butterfingers Hahahaha! Okay, well probably not going to be shopping for makeup in a while, and I know that this haul isn't as big at the other one's I have seen, but I really don't ever shop like this, I usually pickup one or two things but not in this haul! Anyways, hope you liked it!!!!

Look what I scored for 5$!

 Look at what I scored for 5.00 $! I'm so excited about this product, I've been meaning to pick up another Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer since the one that I had from before was way too light!

So today I went to Ross today and  I wanted to look for some random things to buy not really looking for anything in particular, but when I saw this around the makeup area and it was in the very back and I saw this for only 5 dollars! I was like, I have to get this! I have to get this!

Just buying the mineral power concealer itself is usualy about 6-7 dollars just for the concealer itself, but if I bought this for 5 dollars, I also got a powder! And guess what? It was in my shade! I was lucky!

I also had to go Target right afterwards and I saw the powder and the concealer at target and it was like 6-7 dollars for the concealer and I don't remember the price for the powder, but i got so lucky and found this!

I recommend you guys looking long and hard, it was the only one left and I didn't  even know Ross sold Maybelline but I guess it's one of this one item/one time things. But it was only 5 dollars, I'm so excited!

Review: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation

So, I decided to get this product at CVS a while back ago, I just wanted to try it out, it sounded pretty good and I know that I'm pretty young and I don't need the "Age Rewind" thing. But my mom and I decided to try it out together and see how it works. It was kind of a cool concept, and I've never really seen an age thing foundation before.

The Applicator
The applicator is strange but unique. It's like this microfiber sponge that the product actually comes out of.  The applicator is extremely soft, I must say, I really like it.

How it works?
At the very bottom there is this collar at the end that you twist, and after a couple of clicks you can get the perfect amount of product, a single click isn't enough for sure.

Review:

PROS:
+ It has an SPF of 18
+ It contains Goji Berry which is a powerful antioxidant which is know to prevent premature aging.
+ The applicator is so soft!
+ It's pretty easy to find, it's from the Drugstore
+ Inexpensive
+ Buildable
+ Lightweight
+ Blends so nicely
+ Goes on smoothly

CONS:
- It's pretty moist, so probably not meant for oily skin types.
- Doesn't stay on all day
- Could be greasy to certain people since it's pretty moist.
- Not the best coverage, you need to build it up.

RATE: 4/5

Questions for you:
1. Have you tried out this product? 2. When you first saw this, did you think it was gimmicky? 3. Would you want to try this out?
