JANUARY IPSY BAG

Hi ya'll!

It's time for January's IPSY Bag! 

This month's bag wasn't all that bad. There were only two things I didn't really care for. 

First product is Eco-beauty good day moisturizer. I'm excited to always try out new skin care and I just ran out of my everyday moisture so it was perfect timing!

Second product is Elizabeth Mott's all over eyeshadow brush! This brush is AMAZING! SO SO SO soft! 

Next is Pacifica's Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow in Ethereal. It's just an opal colored eyeshadow, goes on smooth and is a great highlight shade. I wasn't too exited for this since I do have a lot of shadows this shade already. 

The next product I wasn't too excited about either. It's Hikari eye liner in the color Storm. It's a gun metal gray color, again already received an eyeliner this color.

The last product is this fingernail polish from Probelle in Into the blue.  I've never heard of this brand so I'm excited to try out the formula & I absolutely love the color which will be perfect for Spring! 

Thanks for reading!

XOXO,

TOO FACED CHOCOLATE BAR PALETTE

Hi there!!

Here is the second palette I got for Christmas! Oh my goodness, I love it! One of the best things about this is it smells, yes, smells like CHOCOLATE! :)

I love the metal packaging! Snaps closed nicely & also comes with a mirror! 

This palette has a nice range of colors and all the names are a type of chocolate. How cute is that!

Here are the swatches of the shadows 

I'm so excited to do some eye looks with this palette.

LORAC PRO PALETTE

Hi ya'll!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know I did! This is one of the palettes I received! 

I love the packaging. It's a long, thin, matte black palette. It has a magnetic closure and a nice sized mirror! 

Here are swatches of the colors. They are super creamy and smooth. They blend nicely!

I can't wait to play around with these shadows some more! 

Thank you all for reading!!

DECEMBER IPSY BAG

Hi ya'll!

Can't believe it's the last IPSY bag of 2014! 

I really liked all the items I got this month. 

First up is Bumble & Bumble BB cream for your hair. I just received one from last month's bag that I've been using. Can never have too many products to try out. 

Tarte's Lights, camera, lashes mascara. I've had a sample of this before and didn't really like it until the end when it got dryer. I don't really like super wet mascaras. 

Next is the NYX butter lip balm in parfait. It's a sheer fuscia lip balm and is super creamy. 

Next is Nourish Organics eye cream. I'm in need of an eye cream so this came at the perfect time. It's a little on the watery side so we'll see how hydrating it is. Might be best for a day time cream. 

And lastly is the Cailyns eye polish. It's a champagne colored eye shadow.

Color of 2015

Hey ya'll!

Pantone named Marsala the color of 2015! I absolutely love this color! It looks great on all skin tones, just have to find the right shade for you! 

I have a few beauty products that fall in the Marsala color range! 

First one being a lip stick that I LOVE! 

It's Maybelline's Maple Kiss. Perfect terra cotta color! 

Next is Morphe's eyeshadow in 11. 

The eyeshadow is the 3rd one down. 

The second swatch in the picture is Milanis baked blush in Red Wino. 

The blush is a little more on the wine color side of the color shades. 

I'm excited to keep my eye out for more products in this color range!

NOVEMBER IPSY BAG

It's time for this month's IPSY bag!

I'm not a big fan of the actual bag for this month either. 

However I love all the items I received!

First up is the Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil hair spray. Smells a bit fruity and I can't wait to try it out! 

Tempu Highlighter in Pink Pearl. Super pretty and goes on so smooth and blends nicely. 

Next is Elizabeth Mott's You're so fine glitter liquid eyeliner. Goes on super black and has little specks of silver glitter. Perfect for the holidays!

Be a Bomshell eye base in submissive. Pretty light bronze color. Perfect for Fall! 

Lastly is the J.cat wonder lip paint in red potion. Love this color for the Fall! It's right up my alley! 

Here's the swatches of the eyeliner, highlighter, eye base and lip paint!

OCTOBER IPSY BAG

Hi there! This post is long over due! I apologize! October was a busy month as we welcomed our little baby boy into the world! 

Here's all the goodies I received in October's bag!

The actual bag isn't my favorite bag 

Up first is Skyn cleansing cloths. They smell like the aroma of a hot tub. They're super moist and they take off make up in one swop. Even waterproof eyeliner. 

Next is Rogue by Rhianna. I can't decide if I like this scent or not. 

Next is Ecru acacia BB cream for hair. It smells like a man's cologne. I have yet to use it yet so I'm not sure how I feel about it. 

Jesse's girl mineralized baked powder eyeshadow. It doesn't have a color or name on it. It's just a sheer opal color when applied. This might be going in my giveaway pile. 

And lastly is the star looks lip gloss in guilty pleasure. It's a mauvey/nude color. It's pretty thick and sticky. Will be going in my giveaway pile. 

Here's the swatches of the eyeshadow and lip gloss
