EYEBROW FIX IN SECONDS

UNKEMPT EYEBROWS--how unattractive!
Through out the day, your eyebrows can shift around and move, and no matter
how well you filled them in or plucked them--they end up horrible! (Especially
if you have full and thick eyebrows!)
 
To ensure you keep each hair in place, there are
many products in the market. The only problem? THEIR PRICES...
Eyebrow gels can range from $20-30 and even $40, depending on where
you purchase it. How much will this remedy cost?
 
A couple dollars, but I'm sure you already have the needed items.. so basically nothing!
 
 You only need two things that you most likely already have:
 
1. Hairspray (What?!)
2. An eyebrow brush/spoolie
(you can get these at makeup-stores for free--they have them on display
for you to test products)
 
LETS BEGIN!
 
1. Take your spoolie comb
2. Spray it with any hairspray you have
3. Brush your brows with the sprayed-on brush! You're done!
 
Not only will this be quick, easy, and cheap, but it actually works!
Most eyebrow gels come off quite glossy and shiny, making your
brows look extremely fake. Hair spray dries matte, as if you don't have
any product on! It also keeps and holds your brows in place
alllllllll day long.
 
GIVE IT A TRY!
 
 

Review: Covergirl 3-in-1 Outlast Foundation

 I was browsing videos on YouTube one evening when I stumbled across a 'First Impressions' of this new '3-in-1' foundation by Covergirl. (If you would like to watch this review, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1Ocq8bsc0E )
 
The video then led me to a plethora of other reviews of the same product. I knew that I HAD
to try this new product because each video RAVED about the foundation.
 
It claims to:
1. Have the lasting power of a primer
2. Have the blendability of a Foundation
3. And the Coverage of a concealer...
ALL IN ONE!
 
I must warn you, do not purchase this product at CVS... there it's priced at $12.99 while
Target/Wal Mart carries it for around $4.99! Less than half of the price it is sold for at CVS.
 
ANYWAYS, let's get on with it!
 
1. So The first thing I really enjoyed about the product, without even trying it,
is that is has a PUMP! Rarely does a drug-store foundation have
a pump. It offers easier product distribution, and it is also much more clean!
 
IT ALSO HAS A LOCK FOR THE PUMP! WHAT?! INSANE RIGHT!
I think I'm in love.
 
2.When I pumped it out, it was quite thicker than most of my foundations.
 
3. When I applied it, it blended seamlessly onto my skin. It also immediately
covered all my blemishes. The coverage was amazing!
 
4. Once It was blended out, It felt velvetty and matte. There was
NO need for a setting powder.
 
5. One coat offers pretty full coverage, but with two coats your skin will look PHOTOSHOPPED
flawless.
 
6. I wore it to school, and when I came home It was still THERE! I did not notice
significant wearing out or coming off..
 
MY ONLY CRITICISM:
 
 I do not reccomend this for dry skin people. I have some dry skin patches on my chin,
and it did not blend easily there. I had to really work on blending it out.
 
Overall, this product gets a 9/10. That's pretty darn great for
something that costs $4.99.
 
I absolutely love this foundation, give it a try!
 
 

HEALTHY FAT FREE ICE CREAM ?!

ICE CREAM... it's packed with fat, carbohydrates, calories, and most of the
time it's highly processed. How do you enjoy an equally delicious treat
minus the guilt?!
 
FRONANAS!
(Frozen Bananas)
 
 
Yes, It may sound weird and not at all appetizing... but trust me, it
 
-Tastes JUST like Ice cream
-Its guilt-free
-it's FAT FREE and LOW on calories
-It's composed of only three main ingredients
 
LETS START!
1. Take some bananas, slice them, and freeze! (Do this in advance so you'll
have some at hand whenever you want some ice-cream)
For extra sweetness, take some ripe bananas. If you want to create or add your own flavor,
however, and you don't want the taste of banana present--start with really
fresh and green bananas.
 

2. Next, you're going to want to place them in a blender. Add fat-free milk, and
for extra sweetness (optional), non-calorie sweetner


3. Blend the ingredients together. Besides the three main ingredients, you
can add protein powder and flavoring. I like to add natural peanut butter
to keep it healthy. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS COMBINATION!!!
 
 

4. Pulse your fronana a little more, and you're finished! You can now enjoy a sweet, cold, and refreshing treat very similar to icecream... but minus the guilt! 


I stumbled across this treat a few years ago, and I have never stopped. Instead of reaching
for full-fat and processed ice cream, I've been scarfing down healthy FRONANA!

I gave my brother some one time and he seriously could not TELL the difference.
He thought he was eatting peanut-butter ice cream... GIVE IT A TRY!

TOOTHPASTE FOR PIMPLES?!

***THIS IS NOT A MEDICALLY PROVEN METHOD TO RELEIVE PIMPLES, IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED WELL TO CLEAR PIMPLES***
 
YOU WAKE UP AND YOU RUN OUT OF ACNE CREAM.. OR YOU'RE OUT IN THE WILDERNESS CAMPING AND YOU SEE THE FIRST SIGNS OF A PIMPLE. WHAT DO YOU DO?!
 
GRAB SOME TOOTHPASTE!
Sounds weird, right? But this quick-emergency-fix may work for you! Give it a try!
Not only is it shown to work, but it's also COST efficient!
 
 
HOW DOES IT WORK?!
Ingredients within toothpaste work to dry out the skin to reduce pimple size, redness, and notability.
 
Since it dries out the skin, you only want to use it as a SPOT treatment. Be
careful with where you place the toothpaste--some ingredients such as menthol (minty flavor) and flouride may irritate your skin if applied in excess.
 
TWO STEPS:
1) Place a small amount of toothpaste on your problem zit
2) Sleep!
 
 
This method is cost efficient, easy, and it requires no trip to your local Target! Grab some toothpaste you have laying around and have instant results! 

PUFFY EYES? TWO- 2 MINUTE FIXES!

EVER WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH PUFFY EYES?
If you're anything like me, this happens all the time...
and I usually have only a few minutes to fix it,
or I'll be late for school/ work.



Here are two 2-minute remedies that cost close to nothing,
all you need are spoons and tea-bags!
Chances are, you already have them lying around your kitchen.
Let's get started!
 
REMEDY#1: SPOONS
 
Step 1) Grab two spoons from your drawer
 
Step 2) Place them in your freezer for about a minute
 
Step 3) Remove them from the freezer and place both spoons on your eyelids/undereyes for 30 seconds to a minute
YOU'RE DONE!  
 
REMEDY #2: TEA!
Step 1) Take two tea-bags, and place them in some hot water
 
Step 2) After letting the tea soak in the warm water, you can place them on your eyes for a soothing minute or so
(enjoy some tea while you're at it!)
 
Step 3) If you don't want your tea-bags to be warm, place them in the freezer for a minute and place them on your eyes cold!
 
YOU'RE DONE
