Scream 4 Movie Review

Last night, I went to the theater and saw Scream 4! I had heard good things about it but was still kind of unsure because of the previous Scream movies being less than entertaining (first one as an exception) While viewing the film I was most definitely pleasantly surprised. It was actually a good, day in age thriller that I was nervous, cringing, left with my mouth open and surprised. It was funny, not at the parts that were supposed to be scary - with one or two exceptions.. which I was basically kind of expecting but was once again pleasantly surprised! The film had a lot of famous actors and actresses and it was definitely well written. I enjoyed the plot and it actually was scary with a twist ending. I would go on the record and say that this was most definitely the best Scream movie since the film franchise started and I would watch it again. If you are looking for a good movie to go see this week or weekend I would recommend this if you are interested in the horror genre.

Emma Stone - Style Crush

I have loved Emma Stone since her breakout role in Superbad but when she appeared on the red carpet for the Golden Globes this year with her platinum blonde hair and that orange Calvin Klein dress I have since found myself a new style crush! Emma's hair, makeup and clothing choices are absolutely flawless. I have posted some of my favorite looks by her and I hope to in the near future post makeup and hair how-to's for Emma Stone's best looks. Enjoy! :)

Get it or Shred it!

For those of you who know me - I am absolutely addicted to magazines I buy multiple a week! and my collection is pretty impressive (if I do say so myself) So I decided to start a new weekly blog post that I determine if the magazine is worth buying it or not! And sections to check out! Hope you enjoy it! :)

Week of April 11, 2011

Intouch Weekly:
Cover story: Teen Moms Addicted To Surgury
Get it or Shred it? Shred it!
Why? Nothing exciting must have been happening this week, the title story is just silly and other inside stories about Kendra Wilkinson's fight with Kristie Ally on the set of Dancing with the Stars.. is just so boring.. nothing exciting. I did enjoy the Hollywood Hair Wars pages though- lots of great pictures of in-style hair - but by all means.. I wouldn't buy this magazine for just two pages!

OK:
Cover story: Kim Kardashian: Betrayed Before the Wedding
Get it or Shred it? Shred it!
Why? To be honest - most stories are the same or similar to Intouch BUT this magazine has some great fashion stories and makeup and hair parts. For this reason I would recommend this magazine over Intouch.

People: Style Watch
So this says display until April 11,2011 but since I just started today I figured may as well put it?
Cover story: 476 Ways To Look Cute Everyday! With Lauren Conrad on the cover
Get it or Shred it? Get it!
Why? Too be 100% honest I will probably 99.9% of the time post this as Get it - I love this magazine and purchase it and I don't think I have ever been disappointed. It features good fashion, makeup and hair and celebrity news - what else could you ask for??!
Check out:  How to get Lauren Conrad's look "Simply Stylish Lauren" on pages 44-48 .. Love her!!
5 Ways to Switch Up Your Look! on page 122
Look For Less, featuring Mila Kunis - I am currently in love with everything she wears, how she does her makeup and hair- she just always looks flawless!

Glamour
Cover story: 101 Ways To Look Hotter Now! With Ashley Green on the cover (Well the version I got)
Get it or Shred it? Get it!
Why? Glamour will almost always be a Get it! aswell - I actually have a subscription to this magazine and I love it. I do wish I had gotten the issue with Emma Stone on the cover - Nothing against Ashley Greene - but Emma is another one of my current style favorites!
Check out: I don't really have one favorite article but it is all great! A lot of stories on finding the right bathing suits/bikini's - it's that season again!

Cosmopolitan
Cover story: 75 Sex Moves Men Crave and Look Sexy! Makeup That Flirts FOR You! With Haley Williams on the cover
Get it or Shread it? Get it!
Why? Well first off, I was sold when I saw Haley Williams (Lead singer of Paramore) on the cover! Love her! and I honestly never thought I would see her on the cover of this magazine!
Check out: Sexy Little Ways To Prep For Summer on pages 171-173 and Go Ahead Check Yourself Out on page 193! I love when magazines are all about woman empowerment and about being happy with who you are and being a confident, happy person!

Well, that's it for this week - I will be back next week! :)

My Favorite Beauty Tips!

I have some general beauty tips that I have learnt or have been past on too me! Enjoy! :)

How to cover up a picked at pimple: I have a terrible habit of picking at pimples and it causes the middle of it to be all gross and if I need to cover it up, I take a q-tip and put a concealer treatment on it and lightly dab it. Don't over do it! Less is more, the more makeup on it the more attention it will draw to that spot on your face! For a treating concealer I recommend Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer.

Always remove eye makeup before you go to bed! This makes it so your eyelashes don't break and if you just didn't bother removing it at all - I know some people do! Start! Because it makes your mascara go on more nicely and you are really allowing your mascara live to its full potential! And we want that!!

Always moisturize before applying foundation! This makes your makeup go on smoothly and if your skin is dry it gives you moisture that your skin needs! I wait at least 5 minutes after applying moisturizer to put on foundation so the makeup goes on nicely over the foundation.

Wear a SPF everyday, sun or no sun!! Your skin will thank you if you get a foundation that has a SPF in it, which a lot of foundations or moisturizers do! This will prevent you from sun damage and will cause you not to get wrinkly and  have dark spots, and obviously helps prevent skin cancer. Skip the tanning salon and opt for a spray tan or a good self tanner. I recommend Jergens Natural Glow or Lancome Flash Bronzer, I used to use Tantowels which were excellent (and cheap!) but they no longer sell them in my area I'm not sure if the product is dis-continued but if it is not and it is available in your area I definitely recommend them too you!!

If you want your eyeliner to go on smoother and easier put it in your freezer.

Get matched! There is nothing that makes me cringe more when I see a girl with an orange face and a white neck, see a professional and they will match you too their brand or I have seen consultants look at your makeup bag and see if it matches you correctly or not. Good lighting is the key, I always get my mom to check my neck for a makeup line if I am not sure if I have a makeup line or not!

Foundation - less is more!! When applying foundation do not slap it all over your face, it will only make you look cakey or shiny, what I do is either only apply it in areas that I need the coverage or if I do need full coverage I put it in four areas on my face: my forehead, right cheek, left cheek and my chin and blend outwards.

For extra long lashes, I put my eyelash curler under a hairdryer for a couple seconds (not to long because it gets really hot and will burn your eyelids!) and curl my lashes before mascara.. works like a charm! I do it every time I go out!!

Exfoliate! If you exfoliate your skin is smoother, softer and it is better looking and makes it much easier to put on foundation, also great if you have dry skin it takes away dead skin!!

Tone! If you use a toner, this will help clear up your skin and I do this day and night and it definitely helps my problem areas!

DON'T put foundation on your lips! I unfourtantely did this when I was in high school I could just never find a lipstick that was the right shade that I wanted, it causes white, dry skin on your lips.. and who wants chapped lips??! Opt for a nude lip color (I have since found one Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Nude) And bright colored lips are in now anyways. If you naturally have red lips (like me) embrace it!

When trying a new skin treatment (or medication) your skin will probably break out, things have to get worse before they get better! Don't worry if you bought a new skin care system and you are breaking out, it may work for you - you just have to stick too it long enough to know!!

Clean Your makeup brushes! (Or throw out your sponges!) This may be why you're breaking out! Use a mild soap to clean them. If you want more details on how often to clean every brush and how this website is great! http://www.essentialbeautysupplies.com/pages/cleaning_brushes.html

Throw out old makeup! Some people have makeup that they have had forever that they still use - this can also cause acne because of the bacteria! And the makeup will not be in its full potential.. think of it like expired food.. who wants that? Throw mascaras out after 3 months.. it will be dry anyways and it is absolutely full of bacteria! And foundations typically can be used for up too a year. Throw out old cleansers and moisturizers after 6 months of use.

Share tips not makeup! Makeup is full of bacteria and you really don't want to share that with anyone! Doing this could cause an eye or skin infection, and sharing makeup just isn't sanitary - regardless if you are best friends, sisters, mother and daughter or anything! Do not share makeup, makeup brushes or tools!

Use a primer! Primers make your makeup go on smoother and last longer, help hide fine lines and make the most of your foundation! I recently purchased Lacome's Dewy Glow Base and I love it! The only problem I have with it is that it is really stinky.. and it cannot be inhaled or anything. I will probably post a review on this within the week! :)

I will post more in the future, hope you enjoyed these tips and I hope they help! :)

What are you looking for in a foundation??

Hello! I haven't posted in such a long time, I have been very busy working almost everyday! I have been working on a few posts and they will be posted shortly and this is the first of many to come! :)

This is your personal guide to finding your perfect foundation.
Based upon finish, with examples and foundations that fit your personal requirements.


Finish; You can get 3 types of finishes: - Natural
                                                           - Dewy
                                                          - Matte

If you are looking for a natural finish, you want your foundation too look polished, yet natural and make it look like you are not wearing makeup, with less coverage. If you have problem skin a lot of natural foundations may not cover your acne or scars, so be cautious of that!
Celebrities that like to wear their makeup natural include: Sienna Miller and Blake Lively.
I recommend  Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Mousse Foundation.

If you want a matte foundation you want to have zero shine and a perfected, airbrushed,soft to touch looking coverage. Celebrities that wear their makeup with matte coverage include, Carrie Underwood and Kim Kardashian.
I recommended L'Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation.

If you want a dewy foundation you want a more luminous looking foundation that you do not set with powder (maybe the t-zone) Your skin would looked 'whipped' or like velvet. Celebrities that wear their makeup dewy include Hayden Panettiere and Lauren Conrad.
I recommend  Lancome Photogenic Lumessence Liquid Foundation.
