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?

NATM: Pinks & Duo Chrome Gray!

Nail at the moment!!
I always use OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous and I never ever use any other colors really, but this is my favorite color of all time. And i wanted to use some of my other nail polishes. I decided to go for a hot pink, and I know that the colors don't match, but I don't care...lol. I like it.

What colors I used:
*OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous
*China Glaze Shocking Pink

I never use hot pink on my nails, but I honestly like it, I know that it isn't summer time and bright colors aren't in, but I love it still. and I feel like the OPI color kind of tones it down. I know it looks weird, but I like it haha.






Questions for you?:
Do you like the color combo? Do you wear bright colors during the fall time?

Review: Revlon PhotoReady Foundation




**Sorry for the blurry picture, my camera wasn't being nice to me that day...
I recently purchased this foundation, I've heard mixed reviews about this foundation so I wasn't sure. I bought it because it was on sale for 8 dollars, it's usually 13-14 dollars depending on where you buy it. Which is really expensive for a drugstore foundation.

I really like the packaging because it has a pump which I think that every foundation should have, I love it. The packaging is like glass so make sure you don't drop it, but overall it looks really nice.

You purchase this product at Target, Walmart, and pretty much any drugstore for the most part. I also saw it at Ulta and Amazon, you can probably find it on eBay too.

PROS:
I think that this product is really great for the price, because it's really great quality. And it feels really light on my skin and it doesn't feel as heavy. It has a shiny glow to it, which some people may prefer not to have but it doesn't look cakey on your skin and it doesn't smell. Also, it has great coverage and I'm in love with the pump! So no bacterial will get into it.

CONS:
It's pretty expensive for being a drugstore foundation and some people may not like or enjoy the shiny-ness and some people think that it has a lot of glitter in it, but I really don't see the glitter more like just a sheen. I wouldn't recommend getting this just for photography because it's just too much for pictures and picture day and such things like that. It's just too shiny. Also, when I purchased this it didn't have a great range of colors when I went there were only 5, but there's probably more than that.

Rate: 4/5

Circle Flower Earrings? Hit or miss?


*Images and text all belong to me
I thought that these would be a great for the spring time, but obviously spring time came and went. I still wear these. I got such a good price for these! They were only 3.80 and guess where I got them?
Forever21!
I know, that there jewelry gets ruined easily but sooner or later this will get out of style, but I really really do like these because they are so feminine and cute. What are you thoughts?
Hit or miss?
