Ipsy Bag - July Unboxing and June Review

It's that time of the month again when I show you want I got in my ipsy bag and review last month's bag! Here it comes, the good, the bad, and the blue.

ipsy bag, ipsy, july ipsy bag, july bag, june ipsy bag, june bag, makeup, skincare, hair care, nyx butter gloss, bare minerals, summer, tanning oil

What I got in July's ipsy bag:
Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil, Tints & Sass Fabulous Lip and Cheek Stain, Bare Minerals 5 in 1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow, Pur Waterproof Big Look Mascara, and the Be Fine Food Skin Care Daily Moisturizer.

What I'm excited for:
I'm pretty excited for the lip and cheek tint, the cream eyeshadow, the mascara, and the moisturizer. I think this bag is going to be a pretty good one! Being excited for 4 out of 5 things sets the bar pretty high this month, but only time will tell.

What I'm on the fence about:
The tanning oil. I'm pale. Really pale. I don't really frequent the outdoors in a way that I would be using tanning oil. If anything, I'm reaching for the spf 100. I haven't had a tan since I was in high school. So that's over 6 years ago. I don't know, I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

NYX Butter Gloss in Eclair
I was already a huge fan of the butter glosses before I got this. So basically this was just an addition to my little collection. The consistency is so smooth and silky and the color is great. I would definitely repurchase this after I run out.

Carol's Daughter Sacred Taire Anti-Breakage & Anti-Frizzing Styling Cream
LOVE THIS! It smells so freaking good and actually does what it claims to do! My hair has felt a huge improvement since I started using this before each blow dry. Another amazing product that I would repurchase!

Nicka K New York Shimmer Eyeliner in Blue
No. Just no. I hate blue eyeliner. I couldn't even convince myself to wear it to the club.

OFR Universal Eyebrow Pencil
In my last ipsy post, I mentioned that I wasn't a huge eyebrow person. I like my eyebrow game. But this pencil does the job when I want just a little extra oomph. I liked using it at night when I would go out to dinner or out with friends. Didn't smudge and lasted quite a long time.

Realtre for Her Perfume
I need this is full size, forever and a day. I love the smell of this perfume! It's sexy, musky, refreshing, and everything you could possibly want in a perfume! I tell you now, I will have a full size bottle one day!

I hope you enjoyed my review of the June ipsy bag! Let me know what you thought of your June and July bags! Did you get what I got? Or did you get something else?


If your not an ipsy bag member, become one! It's only $10 a month! It cures your beauty fix and is well worth the cost. Each bag is worth way more than what you pay. And you get to keep the cute little bag!

Ipsy Unboxing - March 2014

I have to say that I wasn't the happiest person when I got my Ipsy bag this month. The nail polish is quite ugly when actually painted on. I had hopes that it would work, but sadly it didn't. I'm not a big fan of skincare products in monthly subscription services because they rarely cater to sensitive skin. So with the smoothing patches, I may have to pass. I do like the Bora Bora quad and the lipstick. Just compared to other bags that I've gotten, this bag seriously missed the mark. Oh well, better luck next month! 


What I Got:
Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches
Be a Bombshell Bora Bora Eyeshadow Quad
bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready
Nicole by OPI in Roughles

Target and Ulta Beauty Haul

So first off let me start by saying I went to Target only to buy a holder for my K-Cups. I then realized I had a few random gift cards to Target and decided to go shopping a little bit. But then, as I was putting my bags in my trunk I see Ulta a few stores away. I saw in an email that they were having some great sales and that's when a few things turned into a mini shopping trip!

Tutorial: Welcome to Winter

When I think of Winter, I always think of the greeting cards that are blue and gray with trees and snow everywhere. The scenery seems so gloomy, yet there is a natural beauty to the understated darkness. I guess you could say that was my inspiration for this look. I didn't want the eyes to be too dark, but somewhat muted with blue and gray. Pairing that with a nude lip and flushed cheeks just seemed so perfect for welcoming the frosty weather!

Tutorial: Midnight Shimmer

I love using various shades of gray. It's interesting to me because I'm not a huge fan of the color in fashion, but I love it in makeup! For this look is was inspired by a full moon at midnight. The bright white moon, the fade of colors to the night, and the shimmering stars of course! To see how I achieved such a look, check out the video below!

My Eyeshadow Collection

Listen, I know I have a lot of eyeshadow. I realize that I only have two eyes, but I can't help myself. I seriously love the endless possibilities that eyeshadow brings! I love watching tutorials with fun and vibrant colors, smoky eyes, and so much more. As you will see, I'm a huge Ulta fan. They make up the majority of my collection. But have you seen the kind of sales they have? About 90% of my collection I bought myself, the other 10% were gifts. See, other people contribute to my problem too!
