APRIL IPSY BAG

April IPSY bag time!

After seeing the pictures of the bag I wasn't too excited. I didn't think it was that cute. I got it in the mail and it isn't so bad after all. 

First up is JulieG nail color. Didn't see a color name on the bottle, but it's a pretty bright pink color. Perfect for Summer. 

Second is a blush from Pandora's Make up box in Pink Carnation. It has a creamy formula and blends out nicely. Love the color, it's right up my alley. 

Ultra light face lotion from Lather. Love the formula, isn't greasy. Perfect day time moisturizer. 

The Balm Cosmetics Single Eye shadow from Nude Dude in Fit. I really like the color and again the formula is smooth and creamy. 

Lastly is Mullein & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek Tint. It smells awful and doesn't really have a color to it. Won't be something I will be using. 

Swatches of blush, eye shadow and lip tint. 

MARCH IPSY BAG

I'm SO behind in my IPSY Bags since we went on vacation! Here is my March bag. 

The bag itself is so so cute! 

First product is Coolway Oil treatment. Excited to try this. My hair is usually in the dry side, but after having Baby G my hair is even more dry. I'm excited to see if this makes a difference. 

Second product is this pūr-lisse facial cleanser. I've been using this stuff since I got it this month and I LOVE it. It takes off all my make up even my mascara & eyeliner. I'd definitely buy the full size! 

Next up is the Marsk Mineral Eye shadow in Fifty Shades. I didn't open this or swatch it because I plan on giving it away. Not really my color. 

Next is NYX Buttergloss Lipstick in Pops Exsplosif. I love this formula and color. It's so creamy and a your lips but better color! 

Lastly is Chella Ivory lace highlighter. I've used it a few times to define my brows a bit more and I love it! Goes on smooth and creamy, blends out nicely! 

I finally used some of my reward points and got this lip stick from Gallany Cosmetics in Bordeaux. 

Here are the swatches for both lipsticks. Bordeaux is on top and Pops Exsplosif on bottom

How I Clean My Make Up Brushes

It's been a LONG time since I last posted and I apologize for that! I am now getting caught up and will have my March- May IPSY posts up shortly!

I figured I would do a post about how I clean my make up brushes. It's super easy and the video will be down below.

Ever since I saw the Sigma Brush cleaning glove I've wanted it, but I could not justify spending $40 on a silicone glove. I came across the Brush Egg and for $8 I decided to give it a try. I love it! It makes cleaning brushes so much easier, your hands don't get raw from rubbing a handful of brushes on it, and it really gets deep down in the brush hairs.

All I use is baby shampoo, the Brush Egg, paper towel, wipes and a rolled up towel to dry them.

Thanks for reading the post and check out the video below. Let me know if you have any questions and please let me know what type of posts you'd like to see!!
