Hello everyone! welcome to my blog.....today's topic is going to be about a new series that I'm starting called the MAGAZINE REVIEW...i will be reviewing beauty magazine's and their tips and tricks that they share....for my first magazine review, i would like to review the newest seventeen magazine...so lets get started:
MAGAZINE REVIEW #1: November 2011 seventeen
this is the November 2011 issue of seventeen magazine which has glee star heather Morris on it. In the magazine, they share 101+ fashion tricks for EVERY body, looking cute and confident, and getting unbored this weekend. Also they teach you how to get perfect legs,butt, and abs. For the November freebies, they are giving away a slew of BREAKING DAWN goodies including twilight perfume, lip gloss, and hair straightener. For heather Morris's makeup, they did a simple eyeliner from FLIRT! cosmetics, and eyeshadow called i''m whipped from FLIRT! cosmetics, and  a FLIRT! cosmetics big flirt sheer and shine lip gloss in coral me fabulous. For the fashion edition, their goal was to make your body look amazing for every body type including tall, petite, and curvy. They started off with skirts...here's what they said:
SKIRTS:
     TALL:a fitted mid calf shape makes your legs look crazy-sexy awesome.
     PETITE: give your slim hips a flirty curve with a flippy pleated Minny skirt
     CURVY: a bandage skirt hugs your hourglass figure.
CUTE TOPS:
     TALL: a ruffly tank that hits mid hip gives you shape and keeps your torso in proportion.
     PETITE: tops that have a sweet pattern and full sleeves fill you out in a pretty way.
     CURVY: a soft peasant blouse shows off sexy shoulders while skimming over your tummy.
PERFECT PANTS:
     TALL:  a bold print legging and a soft drape make your best assets look even better

They also share ultra cool new looks for fall. Including tiered skirt, strappy heels,floaty Cami, knee high socks, bright belts, fitted body suit,black lace dress, belted trench, and boots and jeans combo....I think the only ones i would really wear would be the floaty Cami, knee high socks, black lace dress, and the boots and jeans combo. Other than that, it think the other ones are just hear for this fall and will soon fade away.
They also have an updated issue of how to pick your perfect bra which i think is pretty good informative section, but not all of them are pretty...haha ALSO! they have this new advertisement for the maybelline baby lips. This ad is soo cool because they give you t-shirt iron ons so that you can make a baby lips baby tee in four steps. Apparently this new lip balm will give you visible lip renewal and 8hr hydration...plus its in SUPER cute packaging!!....cant wait to pick it up!
Also in the fashion issue, they share the latest trends that are still under budget...heres what they give you:
SKINNY JEANS FOR UNDER $40
COZY CARDIS FOR $35
FUN SNEAKERS FOR $30
FLARED MINI SKIRTS FOR $25
BOLD NECKLACES FOR $20
CUTE RINGS FOR $10
personally though, i don't think i would ever spend that amount of money on any of those....

For the beauty edition this month, they share how to find your perfect look...including playing up your features, getting your healthiest hair, enhancing your skin tone, and more!
the first part of this is how to show off your favorite features and getting awesome cheekbones. You really need to see the colors to find your right skin tone but they do give you good tips on where to apply blush and highlighter for your head shape. I will probably make a separate issue on how to do this according to the issue. Next, they share with you on how to get smoldering eyes in 3 simple steps: frame your eyes, create contours,and get ultra-flirty lashes. They also show you how to find the right colors for your skin tone and customizing a smokey eye for close set, far set, and downturned eyes. Next they share on how to get luscious lips they say to flaunt your shape and then drench them in color. Again they show you how to customize it for full, thin,and uneven lips and different red toned lipsticks to try.
For the seven days of beauty, they show you how to pump up your ponytail with the polished pony, romantic roll, edgy streak, sporty braid, soft swirls,wild texture,and sweet volume. The only one that seems cool to try is the sporty braid which is a high pony tail in a braid! super cute! :) i might do a tutorial on it so look for it :) Next they share how to coordinate your colors:
IF YOUR WEARING:
PURPLE---NUDE LIPS
PINK---STEEL GRAY EYES
RED---STRAWBERRY LIPS
ORANGE---PINKY FLUSH CHEEKS
GREEN---SMOKY BROWN EYES
YELLOW---A BRONZY GLOW
for the beauty notebook of this month, they shared on how to brighten up your complexion! i think I'm actually going to buy some of these products because of the in depth review on each! i really think they did a reallllly good job on this one!! :) so here's what they shared what would be the best to brighten you up.
AVOID IRRITATION: pick a soothing formula with soy because it improves texture, evens out blotches, and lightens dark spots....they recommend AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT BRIGHTENING CLEANSER
EXFOLIATE TWO TIMES A WEEK: a gentle scrub a week will slough off any dead skin cells that are laying on your skin! the CLEAN AND CLEAR MORNING BURST SKIN BRIGHTENING SCRUB contains lemon extract which acts as a brightness booster.
GLOW WHERE YOU WANT TO: a tinted moisturizer will give you dewyness, even out your skin tone, and can sometimes improve it! they recommend URBAN DECAY URBAN DEFENSE TINTED MOISTURIZER IN SPF 20
Also they give you good brightener systems for your skin type! heres what they say:
DRY: MAC SIZED TO GO STROBE CREAM
OILY: CLICKR SKIN CARE DIAMOND DUST SKIN  POLISHER
COMBO:CLEAN START BY DERMALOGICA BRIGHTEN UP SPF15
SENSITIVE: BURTS BEES SENSITIVE NIGHT CREAM
i think i might change my routine and try this routine and see how it goes! :) this is one of the best one's I've seen. They also do a special guide for girls with relaxed, coarse, or natural hair...however I'm going to do a WHOLE other blog post on this one and my thoughts on what they recommend and what I recommend.
They give a very cool way to be in shape in the HEALTH section...they say a new way to work out is to DANCE your way to mega hottness.
So that was my review on the November issue of seventeen magazine! there were alot of helpful ideas but i would like to see more hair ideas....thank you for reading and check back here for more cool posts!!
