All Natural Face: Fix-it Spray

Fix-it Spray by All Natural Face...


This is to be the equivalent of the MAC Fix+ Spray....Only Affordable! Now Personally I have never used the MAC one, (b/c of price & income issues, which I'm sure you all understand) This Spray Works great! It makes my Mineral Foundation, look liquid!!!


The Blurb from the site:
So....MAC thought of this...and I improved it:) heheA natural alternative to keeping your eyeshadow and eyeliner smudge proof and in place all day...and it doubles as a hydration mist and sealant for your foundation as well:) It gives you a foiled look for your shadows you just wont believe!The bottle is 1 oz. It is a spray top. Spray both sides of your brush...dunk in minerals and apply. As a mist...simply mist your face after you are done applying your cosmetics...and whenever you would like to feel refreshed during the day. This really sets your makeup for the day and gives you a wonderful flawless look to your foundation.This will now allow you to use the shadows and liners in all kinds of cool and fun ways! Think of the possibilities with the colors!

I give this Product a 4 out of 5

Con's:

~ I can't wear this when I know it's going to be a hot day. I have oily skin, so when I know I'm going to be outside for long periods of time, I chose not to use it, so that I don't become 'shiny' :)

To FTC or whomever else it may concern, I received this product from All Natural Face, with the agreement that I would review it, But that I would give my personal opinion, whether it be Positive or Negative, With no sway from the Company.

All Natural Face mineral Foundation:

Mineral Foundation :

Ok, a few months ago I was on the look out for a new mineral foundation because the one I had been using was making me dry and flaky....Not something you really want!! So I started asking around, and I heard about The All Natural Face's mineral foundations...So I ordered a sample, and I fell in love!!!

This is what I suggest:

Step 1: Go to http://www.theallnaturalface.com/ and order her sample kit...she'll send a TON of baggies with samples of each color in the face category that you pick...

Step 2: Play around with the colors, and determine which one is best for you...both in indoor lighting and in the great outdoors.

Step 3: Order your color!

This foundation has great coverage...and it's 'All Natural!'

Also comes in Mousse and Compact form!

this product is a 5 out of 5!

Diamond

Diamond
A cross between heart and a dramatic oval. Widest at the cheekbones, and narrow equally at the forehead and jaw line.
Try
Your face shape is balanced and dramatic. Experiment with a variety of styles. Almost everything works with your face (as long as you are a true diamond). You can wear shorter styles. However, if you are a dramatic diamond shape, you need to leave weight in the back nape area like someone with a heart shaped face. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more delicate chin line.
Avoid
You can do just about everything, but try not to wear too much hair on your face, thereby hiding your great features.

Triangular

Triangular
Reverse of the heart-shape . . . a dominant jaw line with narrowing at the cheek bone and temples.
Try
Shorter hair that balances prominent jaw line. Styles that are full at the temples and taper at the jaw are perfect for triangular shapes. Off center parts, wedges and shags look great on you, too. You need lots of layers to achieve fullness through the upper part of your face. By wearing styles which are full at the temples and taper at the jaw line, you achieve a balance that can be striking in accenting features otherwise understated. Try tucking hair behind your ears, as this will draw attention to your eyes and add the illusion of width in this area.
Avoid
Long, full hair styles that draw attention to jaw line. Center parts—off-center is more flattering to triangular shaped faces.
Stay away from styles with too much height at the crown. You also want to avoid putting most of the weight of a haircut at the jaw line and below. This will give the appearance of added weight to the face.
If going with long hair, it should be kept tight at the nape.

Heart

Heart
Face is wide at the temples and hairline, narrowing to a small delicate chin.
Try
Chin-length or longer styles work well with a heart shaped face. Other styles to try: side-parted hair styles or swept-forward layers around the upper face, with gently wispy bangs. A chin length bob is great on your face shape! This creates a balanced look by giving fullness where you need it. You can wear shorter styles; however, if you are a dramatic heart shape you need to leave weight in the back nape area. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more narrow chin.
Avoid
Short, full styles that emphasize the upper face. Stay away from styles with too much height at the crown. Severe, slicked back looks are too harsh for this shape too. If you are a dramatic heart shape, the short, full styles with tapered necklines, which emphasize the upper face will make you look top heavy. Too much height at the crown will give the appearance of a longer and narrower chin. Just remember if you have a dramatic heart shape face, you have great cheekbones to emphasize! Don't miss the boat by getting a cut which is too top heavy.

Square

Square
A strong, square jaw line and usually an equally square hairline.
Try
Short-to-medium length hair, especially with wave or roundness around the face. Wispy bangs will soften the angular shape. Off-center parts with height at the crown look great on square faces. You want to soften the square look of your face with layers and wispy looks around the face. Height at the crown will elongate your symmetrical shape. If your hair is straight, you may want to consider a body wave, as some curl or wave to the hair will achieve a nice balance to the straight features of your face shape.
Avoid
Long straight styles that accentuate the square jawbone. "Linear" straight bangs or center parts aren't the best choice. A straight bob ending at the jaw line is the wrong thing to do for your face shape. You can wear a layered bob, however it should end above or below the jaw line, not at the jaw. Make sure in styling that you achieve some roundness to the shape and some height at the crown or bangs, and you will be on the right track.

Round

Round
Full-looking face with a round chin and hairline. Widest point is at the cheeks and ears.
Try
Hair styles with fullness and height at the crown. Off center parts help reduce the roundness. Short hair styles with a swept-back direction or hair styles that are longer than chin length. By layering the top to achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your round face shape will appear longer and narrower.
Avoid
Chin length hair with a rounded line that mirrors face’s round shape. Center parts tend to accentuate roundness. Also avoid styles with short-short crops, or straight "chopped" bangs. Fullness at side of ears also accentuates the round shape. A rounded haircut ending at the chin will certainly add weight to your already round face shape. Because the widest part of your face is at the cheeks and ears, you need to avoid having the fullness of the cut here, as it will make your face appear wider. I've written more about round face shapes in my article Round Face Shapes can be Slimmed, Hairstyles a round shape and Hairstyles for Round Face Shapes.

Rectangular or Oblong

Rectangular or oblong
Long and slender, about the same width at forehead and just below cheekbones. May have a very narrow chin or a very high forehead.
Try
Styles with short to medium lengths. Fullness at the sides of your face and wispy bangs soften the look of longer face shapes. You'll want to balance the look of a long and slender face. Soft wispy bangs will shorten the appearance of the length. Fullness at the sides of your face will add width to the look of your face shape.
By cutting the hair into a short or medium length, the outline of the cut will also shorten the look of the length of the face. Layers work great with your face shape, as they will add softness to the straight lines in your face. Try side parts, and you may be able to wear straight back styles.
Avoid
Too much hair length . . . this will make your face will look even longer! Too much height lengthens your face. Center parts look great on people with a rectangular or oblong face shape. When your hair grows past your shoulders, there is a good chance it is doing you more harm than good. The models with rectangular face shapes and long hair get by with it only because they have an "on call" hairdresser. This professional is at the models disposal and can usually be found busily primping and teasing, setting and styling to add fullness to the hair. Since most of us don’t have this luxury, my suggestion is keep it above shoulder length.

Oval

Oval
Only slightly narrower at the jaw line than at the temples, with a gently rounded hairline.
Try
A variety of styles. Just about any hair shape looks good on you. Your "perfect" features allow you to wear a wider range of styles than any other face shape. Have you ever noticed the majority of models fall into this shape? Have you noticed how many different hair styles they can wear?
You can wear short, medium and long hair styles. Your face shape is well "balanced", or in even proportion. You will look best when styling your hair off your face. Most oval face shapes can wear slicked-backed looks as well.
Avoid
Hair styles that cover up your "perfect" features with heavy bangs, or too forward-directed styles.
In wearing your hair style on your face, you'll lose your face shape behind the hair. This may appear to add weight to your face.

What Is Right for your Face Shape?

Not Sure what Hairstyle is right for your Face Shape? Or what Kind of Bangs you should have? Or Are you unsure what Face Shape you are?

To find out the shape of your face, measure it with a tape measure or ruler. You will take the following measurements.
1. Measure your face across the top of your cheekbones. Write down the measurement on a piece of paper.
2. Measure across your jaw line from the widest point to the widest point. Write down the measurement.
3. Measure across your forehead at the widest point. Generally the widest point will be somewhere about halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline. Write down the measurement.
4. Measure from the tip of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.

THE SHAPES:
Oval Face - Length equal to one and a half times width.
Round Face - Your face is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close.
Oblong - Longer than it is wide.
Heart - Narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead.
Square - your face is about as wide as it is long.
Diamond - Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line of approximately equal widths.

keep coming back for a list of what to try for your hair, what to avoid...and what celebrities have your Shape!!!!

Red Spots?

Do you have a problem with your pimples leaving a red spot after the go away...whether your pop them or leave them alone? Well I did! And then I went researching, and found a way that works!!! I've only been doing this for about a week, and i already see a HUGE difference!!!!!

Here's How to get rid of your spots...

1) Exfoliate!!! (every time you wash....just use a washcloth going in circular motion.)

2)wash at least 2 times a day!

3)DRINK A LOT OF WATER...it helps flush your system, along with helping prevent more breakout!

It's not that hard, once you start! I Promise!

G.R.I.T.S.

Face Wash

What kind do I use?

That's an interesting question..I've used quite a few...and i've done looking into some of the other ones...

Clean & Clear:

Great Wash...I've used both their regular and their Acne line...Works good for minor acne.

And the great thing is it doesn't cost much!






Acne Free:

Just like Proactive...they say, me personally i've never used proactive. The only complaint about this product was, that I couldn't find replacements to the kits. So I had to stop..But it worked Great (I used the stronger acne formula)




The Wave by: Neutrogena

I've used this one too...It was a nice change to face wash. It kept your hand oils off your face. But in the middle of using it, my face went through another change, and got oilier....so I had to start washing my face 3 times a day, to keep the oil down...Not a good thing to do when you have to buy replacement Pads.





Neutrogena Acne Line:

After the Wave i just switched to their Acne line, w/their gel cleanser...It's cheaper and last longer...Then I use their Acne Moisturize w/ Salicylic Acid (their cleanser has that too) and right now i'm looking for a toner w/ Benzole Peroxide in it...I read that it works best to mix these two b/c they both help different symptoms of Acne.
(Neutrogena came out with a new line called SkinID, but it cost $40 to get your started kit, and it's only online...that's a bummer...but here's the link..At the site, you can do an evaluation, and they will make a kit just for you...if I had the money I would...but I don't so o well...but maybe you can! Check it out!)
A Great thing about Neutrogena is that It has a makeup line as well...so you can get your foundation and things from the same company!

A Great thing about all the Products I listed here(except Acne Free, you'll find at Walgreens) You can Buy them At Walmart!

Please leave a comment with what you use, and how you see it working, to help others find one face wash that will work right for them!
