Jennifer Bradley, 4 in One Camera Ready Foundation

By Dahlia Acevedo

I have started to like makeup for the first time in my life. In my twenties and thirties all I wore was eye shadow, mascara and lipstick. My skin was firm and soft looking. Once I turned forty I started to lose some of my natural coloring and looked older. I started to wear eyeliner and blush. Fast forward a few years, I noticed red patches or small bouts of acne have started to appear. And lately, as I approach  46, I have noticed more sun spots have appeared.
Nothing I purchased worked to cover it all up. Foundations felt heavy, smelled funky, dried out my skin, caused me to break out, and made me look older! I was desperate for a good product.
I kept seeing a video of Jennifer Bradley applying the 4 in 1 to her face after a chemical peal, as well as before and after photos of women who have experienced great results after using the product. I caved and purchased the foundation, even though I wouldn't normally spend so much on makeup. It turns out it was worth every penny. I have since purchased her Flawless Photo finish Powder, and blush. I may have to wear more makeup now that I'm older, but I don't have to look as if I am wearing more. And guess what?, These products do not make me look older!

 The 4 in One Camera Ready Foundation acts as a:

Concealer: A small amount of the product goes a long way in covering up redness, acne and scarring. After applying your usual lotions to a fresh canvas, allowing them a few minutes to dry,  apply the four in one. This first light layer acts as a concealer, for under eye circles as well. The product keeps its promise as a medical grade makeup for sensitive skin. It actually reduces swelling from irritation and bumpiness from areas of skin afflicted with acne. It will not clog your pores and cause you to break out. Nor does it settle in lines or cake in spots. It  moisturizes and will not dry out your skin.

 Primer: I recommend applying a second light layer of the makeup to further cover everything up and create a perfectly blended canvas. This second layer acts like a primer. For those of you who are unfamiliar with how primers work, they smooth out the skin, allow for better application of makeup,  and keep said makeup from fading and smudging. I always apply a moisturizer to my eyelids, followed by a primer. The only makeup I reapply is my lipstick.

Sun screen: There is no need to apply a layer of sun block underneath your makeup. This product 100% protects your skin from the sun. I've worn it to the beach, hiking, and whenever I spend large chunks of time outdoors. I never get a sun burn and love knowing I don't have to worry about getting one. Sun screens contain oils that cause break outs, and tend to irritate your eyes, even when you don't apply them near the area. They can be thick, smelly, messy and expensive.

 Waterproof Formula: I've worn it to aqua aerobics, and sweat buckets during weight training and zumba. It doesn't run or leave weird streaks on the face. I've noticed it only comes off when I dab my forehead with a towel, clean my face with a baby wipe, or wash my face.

The 4 in 1 is almost an exact match to my skin color. I find when I apply a fine layer of the Flawless Photo finish Powder afterwards, the color blends in better, and looks more natural. The product is so light you don't feel like you are wearing anything. I have tried other foundations in the past. They tend to dry out my skin, cake in spots, accentuate wrinkles, come off easily, and make me look older. I am so happy to have found this product. It is definitely worth the asking price. I've already had it for months and have so much left.

Ocean Trails Reserve - Rancho Palos Verdes (Ocean views galore)

Ocean Trails Reserve - Palos Verdes                 By: Dahlia Acevedo Where has this Ocean trail been all my life?! I viewed several posts about the place, as well as photographs, which did not do this place justice at all! We are talking 360 beautiful views of the golf course (which runs parallel to the trail at first), gorgeous homes in the distance, the mountains, as well as constant ocean views. Let me just take a moment to comment on the color of the ocean (really colors), A deep blue with turquoise pools, crystal clear in spots, exposing the algae below (coastline). There are four paths, two that lead down to the beach area, which is completely covered in small, grayish white rocks. Making it totally unique and picturesque. I've never seen anything like it. I've  posted a picture of the awesome looking zig zag trail leading down to the beach. Once you descend, you will see the bottom half of the cliffs are covered in rolling green, gra...

Color Street Nail Polish Strips

I wasn't expecting to like Color Street Nail polish strips as much as I do. If you've never heard of Color Street, they consist of real nail polish in a dry strip form. They are long lasting, durable, and come in  many beautiful and fun designs, for all seasons. For a long period of time I couldn't live without going to the salon once every three weeks to a month, to get my nails done. At first I sported acrylics, then switched to gel nails. I was getting both a manicure and pedicure, throwing a lot of money away. Sure, I felt I deserved it, I work hard and wanted to pamper myself. Plus, I felt more feminine and attractive. Unfortunately my polish would start to chip off a couple days later, driving me absolutely batty! I felt the need to rush back to the salon to have them repair a nail or two, which would cost even more money. I finally just grew tired of it and stopped going to the salon. I felt happy, like I was saving money. Fast forward several years later, and I was ...

The Awe Inspiring Mount Rubidoux Hiking Trail (Riverside, CA)

The Awe Inspiring   Mount Rubidoux   One feels transported to another place. In my case I felt as if I were on vacation in Arizona, due to the design of rock formations on the trail, and colors of the vast landscape. Which is what you want out of a daytime excursion (if you are unable to travel, such as conditions are now with the Corona Virus) Please exercise caution. Yes, we enjoyed ourselves immensely, but most visitors were not wearing masks. Paulo reminded me it was most likey because Mount Rubidoux is located in Riverside (a different county) This is seriously one of the most beautiful hiking trails I've ever visited. During the entire hike you are rewarded with sweeping views of the city, the river, and even a lake. On the way to the top, there are countless benches /look out spots, a smaller charming bridge, followed by the bridge at Peace Tower. Which is a replica of a noted bridge in Alcantara, Spain, built in 1925. Carved into the top of the tower are the name...
