And while I can see people falling for those claims and promises with night\/day creams and potions (and my people I mean me, myself and I), I can&#8217;t imagine anyone actually believing make-up (especially eyeshadow!?) will deliver this. It might cover up aging to a limited degree but otherwise I think it&#8217;s rather silly to make or believe this claim (unless you can walk around photoshopped &#8211; now THAT would be the  invention!!)<\/p>\n<p>But any make-up you spend money on and wear should make you feel pretty. And I think that when you feel that you look good, you emanate that so then you do look good. So maybe\u00a0 if you believe you look a little younger, you walk around with a smile and then you do look younger. So it IS magic-fairy dust!<\/p>\n<p>But hey &#8211; they are great colors so I will still buy no matter what&#8230; :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I am going to most likely purchase this eye shadow because I love all of the colors, I have to snicker at the anti-aging declarations.
