Hey everyone!
Can you believe that it is 2015!? I still can't wrap my head around that! So I know that I've slacked a bit but for the last couple weeks but somehow I managed to actually have a bit of a busy schedule which was surprising. In my last week of winter break I not only got a new piercing but I also got a new tattoo which I will be talking about in a post next week, for those interested in that. I also got to see friends and I went to the movies a few times and saw Into The Woods, which was fantastic, and the final Hobbit movie which was super good and super sad because now there will be no more Middle Earth movies :(
Anyways I'm sure what you really are wanting to know is what I got in my ipsy this month! I was really excited for the theme this month which is Fresh Start which is very New Years and whatnot and I was really wanting products that would help me feel fresh and feel my best.
The first product that I pulled out of the bag was Shimmer Powder by BelláPierre in the shade Excite. It is a silvery mineral powder so its really nice and smooth when it goes on. I think this product is super fun and is going to be great for the nights that I actually go out!
The next product I got out of the bag was an All Over Shadow Brush by Elizabeth Mott which I wasn't really excited about but it is always nice to have extra make-up brushes!
I also got a product that is perfect for me! I have a thing with lip balms I have at least 1 in each bag and I always have one on my bedside table. So when I realized I got the Mojito Lip Balm by (MALIN+GOETZ) I was so happy! I have really liked this so far the subtle mint is really nice and this is just so perfect since it's cold where I live, I now don't have to worry about my lips getting gross.
Now I found the next product to be quite the coincidence. The morning I received my ipsy I was thinking of going out and buying an eye cream and by chance I got one that day. I got the Renewing Eye Cream by Nourish Organics. I have that this is really helping with making the skin under my eye not so dark and it is super hydrating which I am really loving!
The final product I got is Pacifica's Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow in the shade Treasure. I absolutely love this shade it's not too dar or light is is just the perfect shade for my skin type. I can already tell that this will be my new go to eye shadow!
Anyways that is it for today! I just finished filming my video for Sunday so there will be a new video up this week and I will be posting more on here this week as well!
Take care! xxx
Hey everyone!
I know what you're thinking, two ipsy reviews in one week!? What? I know it's crazy, right? Well not really since my July ipsy review was very late... my bad. Anyways, my ipsy bag was kind of a surprise for me this month since it arrived even before I got the tracking information. Usually the tracking info comes around the 7th of each month, but mine came on the 11 a day before I got the email that it had shipped, so it was a nice surprise that it came a bit early!
This months theme is Beauty Schooled and the products came in this cute white pencil case like bag, and it is decorated with orange poke-a-dots. I am super excited about this months bag because all of the products that I received are products I have wanted to try, but have not got too.
I received Dr. Brandt's Pore No More Pore Refiner, and I am very excited to see how this works. I have heard great things about this online and have wanted to get for a long time, but never actually got around to it. I was very happy to see that it was in my bag and I am hoping that all of the hype around this product is true
.
I also got a product by Urban Decay, which will always be one of my favourite brands. I got their Perversion Mascara and I haven't even tried it yet, but I already love it! Why? Because the name is amazing, and as the packaging says it's "so intense, you might need a safe word." I mean, how can it not be amazing!? Plus, I love the size of it because it's so easy to fit in any bag or clutch that you are traveling with!
A product by J. Cat Beauty was also featured in this months Glam Bag. I received their Flying Solo Eye Shadow in the shade Half Naked. Not only is it a beautiful shade, it comes in fantastic packaging. Now when a product is featured in beautiful packaging I love it even more. It's encased in a nice and simple compact case and in this small case there is not only an applicator, but a mirror as well! This will definitely be a product that I travel with.
As you may or may not know, I am the type of girl that never leaves the house without a lip balm so when I pulled Jersey Shore Sun's Mongongo Lip Conditioner. It smells amazing, and has made my lips feel smooth and hydrated so it definitely does its job! The only thing about this product is that it's supposed to be a anti-aging Lip Conditioner, so I don't really know how it does that. If you do know the answer please let me know!
Finally the product that I am most excited about! I got Klorane's Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk and I literally almost screamed from excitement when I saw that it was in my bag! Now you may think I'm crazy when I say this, but I have never used a dry shampoo. I know right!? That's why I'm excited! I don't usually suffer from oily hair even if I go a day or two without showering so that's why I've never tried dry shampoo, but now that I have it I will definitely use it!
This has been my favourite bag from ipsy so far! I received all great products from amazing brands that I love or have wanted to try. I already can't wait until Septembers bag to see what I'm getting next!
Take care! xxx
