Maybelline Better Skin Powder

I've been using the Maybelline Better Skin powder in the color "Classic Ivory" for almost a week. The first thing I noticed was that it looks WAY darker on the sponge, but don't let that deter you, it'll be okay. The color worked out very well. Coverage! It covers much better than any powder I've ever used. It covers as well as liquid and the finish isn't cakey or weird looking at all. Staying power: I found that it does wear off of my nose after a few hours and does need touching up, but DOES stay well on my cheeks. It works well with all of my powder products on, without wiping the product off. Another downfall: I suddenly am having horrendous breakouts! In places I've never had breakouts. I suppose it COULD be a coincidence, but I'm tempted to think that I'm having trouble with the product itself. I'm going to give my skin a break and try again before I make up my mind completely. I might try wearing it not every single day, maybe every other day. It's kind of a let down because the fact that I can wear powder instead of liquid foundation was really exciting, and for the most part, it did a good job. 


I received this product complimentary from Influenster and Maybelline for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own.

First, this is not the type of book I usually go for. I am not artistic in the least bit. I am crafty, but seeing things in my head and getting them to come out on paper or otherwise has always been a challenge for me. Needless to say, I wasn't very hopeful, but it looked like so much fun, how could I resist? It's a very nice book. With good instructions, and great illustrations. I was surprised to find that it is not a small book. It's a nice big book so you can see what it is they want you to do. The written instructions were just okay, but if you just copy what the illustrations are telling you to do, even an art wannabe like me can make a pretty cool picture! I even bought a special little book to draw my fairies in. I think this is just as fun and relaxing as coloring, but you get to create something. Something of your own! So if you want to create something that's easy and fun, I definitely recommend this book. *I got this book for free in exchange for my re

Come As You Aren't- A Role Playing Game For Adventurous Couples

Image
The presentation of this game is great. It comes in a small decorated cardboard box that slides out of it's cover with a silky gold-ribbon tab. The cards each have their own section. The game didn't really come with rules, but it seems pretty straightforward. There is a nice black envelope with the words "For Your Eyes Only" that appears you stick one of each of three categories of cards into. The categories are "Where", "What" and "Who". The back of the box indicates that you should leave the envelope for your partner to find. Those are the only real suggestions. The cards are all creative and fun. It's a cute game that I could see all types of couples playing. From new couples trying to get to know each other better, to seasoned couples who need something new and different. I think this game could make a great bachelor or bachelorette party present without being too embarrassing for either party. This game is still fun for shyer peo

My Review for How To Pack: Travel Smart for Any Trip by Hitha Palepu

Image
I am not a traveler. I'm a mom, who started a direct sales business and I work from home and care for my children and my husband. I love my direct sales business, and it's ended up opening some doors for me. In February I traveled to Philadelphia for an Empower Me Pink mini training. It was thrilling and stressful and amazing all at once. Now I am headed to Las Vegas, NV in just over a week. Las Vegas! I can't believe it. A small-town girl from Maine is going to Las Vegas for a jewelry convention. Just after I purchased my ticket, I found "How To Pack- Travel Smart for Any Trip" By Hitha Palepu on Blogging for Books. It was a sign. I had to have it. Who doesn't want less stress when they travel? The time was now, I picked up the book and devoured it.  There is extremely practical advice in this book. Some of the book is not for me. I'm not a business traveler, but a lot of it can be adapted for my particular instance. This lady is clearly much more p
