Ipsy Glam Bag (April)

I am back with another Ipsy Glam Bag! 
Ipsy Glam Bag is a monthly beauty subscription of $10 plus shipping. You will receive around 5 items, full size and trial samples. Here is what came in this months Glam Bag.

Elizabeth Mott Pop! Shadow in Champagne.. retails for $12.99
This color is really pretty, I have worn it the last 3 days and can not get enough of it. You could even use it as a highlighter if you wanted too. Very please with this eyeshadow, easy to apply and does not crease.

Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-on eye pencil.  Retails for $20.00
Great eye liner! It applies like a velvet dream! This pencil smudges easily and blends well to create the soft edges for the smokey eye look. I also love that it is a dark matte black, the color payoff is amazing!

On the left is the Urban Decay eye pencil again..on the right is 
Starlooks Luscious Longwear Lip Pencil in the shade Naked. Retails for $14.00
Not my favorite color in the world.. I wouldn't say it is a nude color either. To me it is more of a coral color. I wore it today and it applied very smooth and last quite awhile. It also matches the bareMinerals lipstick I recieved in my last months Ipsy Glam Bag so that's a bonus!

The dr. brandt microdermabrasion skin exfoliant retails for $78.00(full size) product in ipsy glam bag is a sample.
I have really dry skin in the winter..I have not been able to find anything to eliminate the dryness. I used this this morning and my skin felt great after using it. Still had the dry skin but it was first day using it. The directions say to use 1 or 2 times a week so I will wait a few days and do it again and see how well it works.

Coastal Scents Medium Eyeshadow brush. $2.49. 
I really like this brush high quality and the bristles are very soft. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter/Sunday! If you are interested in joining ipsy click here ipsy 

Ulta Haul..

Happy Saturday, the sun is up but still a little on the chilly side.

I purchased a few things from Ulta this past week that I have been interested in and needing.

I seen some reviews on the Butter Glosses from Nyx and thought I would try them out. Great collection, love all the colors and I will be purchasing more!There are 22 color to choose from in the collection all with desert like names.

 I purchased the colors Angle Food Cake, is a true mauve and Sugar Cookie is a bright fuchsia , they kind of smell like their titles. They feel really creamy on your lips and have a nice shin and pigment.

Sugar Cookie

(I lost the picture of Angel Food Cake.. I will add it in later today)

NYX Baked Blush in Journey-soft pink. Beautiful light pink sheer color, gives your skin a nice natural glow and can be used to highlight. The top is a bit hard to start with so you may need to a build up the color a little or wet a sponge to apply. Once you get through the surface you will have a better color payoff.

 And the cute packaging..love the little bow!

NYX Baked Blush in Journey- I had a hard time taking a picture of this blush.. this is in direct sunlight

NYX Eyeshadow Cake Powder in Blonde includes two eyebrow shades light taupe and ash blonde, wax, slanted brush and a small spooly. I definitely was in need of product for my eyebrows. I was using a light brown eyeshadow but I needed to step up my beauty game and pick up the right products for my eyebrows. I am very pleased with this powder, very easy to apply with the slanted brush. If you are looking for an affordable eyebrow product, I would would definitely recommend the NYX eyeshadow powder.

 

BareMinerals Frame and Define Brow Styler in Light. I wanted an eyebrow pencil so I can have more of a defined eyebrow look. This pencil works pretty well and blends well with the NYX  Cake Powder. 

And lastly I purchased Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder in beige. 

LOOVE this product.. It gives your skin a wonderful glow, it's smooth and the different color pallet give you a more evened out skin tone.

Physicians Formula: on the left is the pink color from the palette and the right is pretty beige bronzer colors mixed together. (yes goosebumps hehe)

I hope you all enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter!!!!!
