March 2014 Ipsy Bag Review

Hey guys!!!!!

It's Ipsy Bag tiimmmeee!!!! Just like every month I was excited to receive this in the mail.
This is March 2014 bag: 


Only thing is that we normally get 5 products every month, but this month we only got 4 products I have no idea why. Now on to the makeup bag:


I love the print it's really unique looking. 
Enough talk on to the products. This time I'm going to start with my least favorite all the way up to my most favorite. 

My least favorite is Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer.

I was really hoping to love this, buuutt I was disappointed. It is a very watery consistency and when I applied it to my face I was like "WHHAAATTT??!!! MY FACE!!!" I had shimmer all over my face, but I still wore it throughout the day and that shimmer was still on my face even after foundation. I was really uncomfortable wearing it. Maybe I will give it away to someone who will enjoy it. 

Now the next product is NYX Love in Rio eyeshadow trio.


These eyeshadows on their own are not good at all. They are very chalky and very hard to work with. The swatches that you see on the picture is after applying the color several times to get the opacity that I wanted. I find these shadows work best over primer and a Maybelline color tattoo. I don't think I would purchase these on my own honestly there are other NYX products I want to try out.

Next product is BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lipstick in Get Ready.

The scent of this lipstick is awesome!! Here's my attempt on trying to explain the scent: it is a vallina sweet lipsticky scent. (I hope i got it right lol) This color is gorgeous, its moisturizing, and doesn't dry out my lips at all. I have trouble finding good lipsticks that won't dry my stubborn lips. The color is a my lips but better color and I love it.

Last product is Chella Eyeliner Pen in Indigo Blue.

I love wearing eyeliner so I was excited to receive this. I love blue so I definitely was going to put this on ASAP. It is really easy to apply and once it sets it doesn't move. 

Overall I love this month's Ipsy Bag. I hope next month it will have the usual 5 items. Every month its different products. You get to take a survey before you sign up so they can send you products that you will enjoy. If you want to sign up its only $10 a month and here's the link: http://www.ipsy.com/r/3lha

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up.

Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
