November Ipsy Bag 2015! <3

Hi beautiful people! Back from vacation, and it was more than wonderful. Spent a lot of my time relaxing in the deluxe room, and also grabbed some drinks with Bae at the casino. They also had a big beautiful pool and a full service spa/nail salon ❤ But anywhooo, i’m back to blogging and i came home to an Ipsy Bag! So clearly i had to post about it, let’s get right into it..

This month’s theme was Beauty Blast: “Your November Glam Bag is a universe of brilliant beauties. Twinkle, twinkle, darling. It’s time to light up the sky.”

The girls on this card are absolutely beautiful, both sporting super dramatic lip colors, metallic eyes, long lashes and winged liner. Once again, this card had me really excited to see what was inside. Now, the bag is so so so cute. I love science, space and nebula’s of all sorts, so this hit home with me before i even broke into it. 🙂

The first item i picked up was this Jesse’s Girl Eye Shadow Primer. This was cool at first sight but when i swatched it, it felt way too liquidy for my liking. So unfortunately i wont be using this and will pass it on to a friend. Here is a swatch for you all to see..

It is almost my exact skin tone, but like i said before i prefer thicker eyeshadow primers. I pretty much ONLY use Mally’s Base Shadow. I definitely recommend trying that one out if you are in search of a good one.

The next item i was SO excited about was this bright green lipstick. Fran Wilson MOODMatcher, is not a green lipstick but a clear one that adjusts to your body and creates a color by itself. I was dissapointed, i actually wanted a green lipstick and i thought it really went with the outer space theme haha. So i’m not too happy about this one, it’s a neutral pink color which i have tons of. Here is a swatch for you all.

This product is pretty nice and hydrating on the lips, it feels great and smooth so i probably will use this just as a moisturizer and for a little hint of color for a simpler look for work or going out doing errands etc.

The next item was a simple sleek eyeshadow brush. I will definitely be using this, i can never have enough brushes! Especially shadow brushes.

Now we have be a bombshell eye liner in “wild child.” Which is just black haha. It is okay, the swatch wasn’t very opaque or bold but i might use this for my waterline. Here’s a swatch..

The last item i received was this SMASHBOX Full Exposure Mascara. Always excited to try new mascaras, especially from good brands like SMASHBOX. 🙂

Here is how my eye looks without any mascara:

Here is how it looks with SMASHBOX Full Exposure Mascara:

So i really like this stuff! I think anyone else who got this in their Ipsy Bag was probably stoked about this too! I may purchase the full size version. ❤

Thanks for reading dolls, please leave comments and your thoughts for me to read and reply to! 😀 I missed you guys!

🎂 BIRTHDAY: MOTD & OOTD! Hang out with me! 🍰

Hi babes! 😘 So my day has finally come and i am super excited about going out and having some time to enjoy all of my loved ones company. 💖 But i couldn’t do any of that untill i got my comfy outfit on & makeup on my face! So, i chose something simple since we are going going to old town, i wanna be comfy for walking up and down the shops!

 

And simple eye makeup that accentuated my lashes, with a pop of color on my lips 😘💄💋

What i used: flower tinted BB1 cream, infallible pro-matte powder, SMASHBOX halo glow color boosting powder (bronzer), Laura Geller “Tropic Hues” Blush, Lancôme high definition mascara black, ColourPop Ultra Matte Lippie in “Koala”

💜💜💜

Here is the outfit i will be wearing tonight! With the same makeup but changing my lip color to “Lust” by DNA cosmetics.

So then we’re off! If you’re interested in seeing some stuff i went out and did today with my bae, cake time, etc. keep reading! 💁

👏

We first went to a delicious breakfast and i enjoyed some great buckwheat pancakes with a side bowl of fruit and cup of coffee 🍎🍒🍇🍌🍉 Yummy and healthy! 👌 Then we hit a huge antique shop and there were sooo many vintage and old school quirky things there, it smelt like history. I took some cool pictures of what they had for sale for you all haha!

Bae found a vintage 1980 bb gun he wants to rebuild 😏💞

These were really crazy, i couldn’t believe they had stuff like this! Poor animals 😿❤️😰

Old potion bottle 💖

I would of loved to refurnish this old love seat.. We spent at least 2 hours walking through the whole place, there was SO much to look at 😵 Lots of big spiders! 😨

Anyways, I ended up buying a few lovely pinup posters that i fell in love with! 💖👌I plan on framing them all for my new and improved vanity area i’ve been working on! So stoked. 😁

Very happy about this find! 💘 And Bae was very happy about his! Got straight to it 😏❤️

So we were home hanging out for a bit and getting ready to go out later and UPS comes by and my man brings in my next gift, another package from ColourPop!!! OMG, somehow ColourPop knew how important it was to get this box here on my bday lolol 😂 I was ecstatic jumping up and down and i think he loved that 😏 haha.. So i had to crack it open! But, i took a bunch of pictures and i’ll post all of my gifts tomorrow i promise! Heres a lil sneak peak! 

Now we’re headed to my parents house for some family time, grub, cake and presents!

👪🍔🍰👛💄🎀

My dad made a wonderul asian pear pie from the trees in his yard, and he also bought me a chocolate chocolate cake with strawberries! 😍 So sweet of him and my mom ❤️ I’ll be sharing what i got as gifts (some wonderful stuff!) in tomorrows post a long with announcing my giveaway winner!!! 😁 Hope you enjoyed this i normally don’t do posts like this but since it was my bday 😏💖 haha. I had a fantastic day!

Ipsy October Glam Bag! 2015

Hello my loves! So sorry i haven’t been posting lately, but things will be picking back up here i have quite a few posts to make in the near future about lots of fun makeup topics! 💖💄 And one big beautiful HAUL coming soon!!! Today, i will be sharing what i recieved in this months october ipsy bag. If you do not know what ipsy is, i encourage to to go ahead and check out their website it explains it all for you there. Baisically it is a 10$ monthly beauty subscription that is shipped to you with 4-5 deluxe samples, a makeup bag and sometimes one full size product (eyelash curlers, nail colors, makeup brushes etc..) Last months ipsy bag really didn’t make me too exited, i got a lot of stuff i wouldn’t use. This month, i got a lot of stuff i probably wont use and tried to do everything in my power to not recieve in my ipsy bags (hand lotions, hair products, etc.)

This months theme was “Alter Ego.” It made me so excited when i pulled this card out of the bag and the gorgeous girl had bright beautiful extravagant makeup on and neon pink hair! “This October, transform into whoever you want to be. A little imagination and your glam bag is all you need. Infinite possibilities, infinite ways to express yourself” was printed on the back. I was so sure i was going to get some bright awesome colors and products, but i was wrong. I really don’t see how this card related to my bag at all unfortunately, but it was a nice picture to look at.

This is itCosmetics Hello Lashes Mascara in a sample/travel size. I like this product and i’m excited to try it since i haven’t yet, so this one made me happy. ItCosmetics is a great brand i have tons of their brushes and i’ve used some of their other products too, anyone who got this was probably happy as well. 👍

Here i have a Peter Lamas Pumpkin Exfoliating Facial Scrub travel size, it smells like a spicy fall time sweet dessert but a little over the top smelling at that. The exfoliating property of this seems like it would work very well it has thick exfoliating beads in it. Maybe i will use it on my legs or something i don’t think i would want my face smelling like this as i get migraines very easily.

Then there is the Eva Nyc Therapy Session hair mask travel size, i might try this or maybe pass it on to my mother. She also has an ipsy bag subscription so we will call each other and trade items next time we see each other haha. 😄 It smells very strong and perfume like. But the smell isn’t bad. You may like it a lot 😉

Here we have a pair of cheaply made tweezers by Emite Makeup. I buy really good quality tweezers that are costly but worth it to me, because i do my own eyebrows and it literally makes the job a hell of a lot easier when you have a pair of precisely made, flat sharp tweezers at your service. These have no use for me. 👎

And then we have an awesome The Balm Liquid Lipstick in “Committed.” Very small sample size. It is a nice everyday neutral color, in a matte formula. Once again, nothing to do with this months theme.. It feels very tacky even after 5 or so minutes, but just hold off on smooching or eating etc. for a bout 10-15 minutes then it will fully set and there will be no smudging at all. I know it seems long, DNA cosmetics lip colors set immediately and stay put all day unlike The Balms formula, and it is much more affordable. Definitely recommend checking them out if you haven’t, their lip colors are TO DIE FOR. But this one smells exactly like thin mint cookies, other beauty bloggers were definitely right about that! Haha, don’t know if i would want such a strong smell on my lips all day but we shall see. 🙌

Well that’s everything in this months bag, please do enter my giveaway international & U.S. welcome! I will be announcing the winner Oct. 25th! 💜💜💜 Keep tuned in for more reviews, makeup looks, a birthday haul, and much more! Comment and leave your thoughts honeybees 😘

5 Minute Flawless Natural Face Routine! PLUS QUICK FASHION HAUL!

Hi all you lovely ladies! ❤ Today i will be showing you all what can be done in 5-10 minutes depending on how comfortable you are with makeup, but it really shouldn’t take much longer than that. We all have those days where we have to get up and get ready for work quickly but you would like to make yourself presentable at least. So that’s what were targeting. If you can master this routine you’ll always have a good face to put forward in ANY hectic situation. 🙂 ❤

Here is what my 5 minute face looks like:

Pretty simple! This look is simply created with a quick touch up under the eyes & over blemishes with concealer & beauty blender, a quick & light dusting of bronzer for some warmth, a little bit of foundation powder brushed on, an illuminator chubby on the cheekbone for a beautiful glow, mascara of any kind, and a nice shimmer beneath the brow bone to waken & open the eyes a bit. No lip color has been applied here yet, but i will show you how to make this even more presentable with two more simple & fast steps!

Add a tiny flick of black liner, a couple dabs of a creamy cheek lip and cheek chubby on both your cheeks & lips, and ta-daaa! 😉 You can amp it up even more with steps that will take you only a minute to do! Now you’re ready for the day with a fresh face. 😀

Here are the affordable products i used today:

Let’s start with these:

• FLOWER beauty double sided mascara/eyeliner duo pen
• FLOWER beauty highlighter/bronzer chubby “Honey-bronze”
• FLOWER beauty lip & cheek chubby in “Can’t Re-Fuschia”
• Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser  in Light

• Neutrogena “Oil-Free Moisture” Sensitive Skin
• FLOWER beauty Glow Baby Glow bronzer/blush duo
• Loreal Infallible Eyeshadow “Iced Latte” (Under Brow)
• Loreal Infallible pro-matte 16HR foundation

Hope this will give you hope next time you are in a rush and need to get your face on FAST! 😉 ❤
