April 2014 Ipsy Bag Review

Hey guys!!!

Time to talk about my April Ipsy bag!!!

The excitement was real when I received this bag!! Let's take a moment and look at the make-up bag that came this month.

Isn't it beautiful??!! I will definitely be using this one while traveling. 
Now on to the products that came inside it.

City Color White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse 

I was disappointed with this and the sad part I was excited to use it! Look at the color!! It's beautiful and its even more beautiful on the lids, BUT it creased on me really bad! Anyone else who received this had that problem??  

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant

This has tiny little beads and it is a little rough when you first use it all over your face especially if you are not used to using an exfoliant. It smells like lemon and I rub it all over for 3 minutes then I rinse it off! My skin feels really soft and smooth. I use it once to twice a week and even my mom enjoyed this. Most importantly it did NOT break me out! I am tempted to purchase the full size of this! 

Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Apple Pink

I don't have much to say about this product except I wish I would have gotten the hot pink color instead of this one. It doesn't appear at all on my lips because of how pigmented my lips are. This was a total fail product for me!! It is a pretty color, but I wish it would show up on my lips. 

Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet

I always love me a really black liner and I was really glad to try another one out since I am on the lookout for a new one. On the lid this is an awesome liner, but on the waterline hmmmm no no not at all. On the waterline it doesn't last at all and it smudges for me. On the lid it lasts all day and if you plan on smudging it out do one eye at a time because once this sets it is going to be harder to smudge it out.

Sexy Hair Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse

I haven't technically used this per say, but my mom has and she enjoyed it. This really holds her curly hair in place instead of being a poofy mess.I am hesitant to use it cause I haven't had good experiences with hair mousses. Maybe I will try it out soon and maybe update you if I end up loving it, but at least it smells good haha. What do you guys think about this product??

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 ...

BeautyBlender VoxBox

Hey guys!!!! It is time for another VoxBox, but this time it is the BeautyBlender VoxBox!! I actually think this was the one box that had me SHOOK! I knew I was getting this in the mail, but I had no idea how much I was getting if that makes sense. I was so surprised that I spoke to my husband about it and he could give no shits about it haha. I received SIX beautyblenders, pink textured cleansing mit, and a beautyblender blendercleanser solid. I will not have to buy a new beauty blender for 2 years maybe!! I am so thankful for Influenster and BeautyBlender for sending this to me complimentary for testing purposes. Although, it was sent to me for testing purposes I have already tried the beautyblender and the cleanser solid before and I was loving them!  I use the beautyblender for foundation, concealer, cream highlight and bronzer, and powder to set my undereyes and face. I prefer this over using a brush because it makes your skin look so flawless.  ...

Nails of the Week

Hey guys!!! I decided to talk about what is on my nails for the week. I will be doing this a couple times a month since I like to change my nail colors frequently! I used China Glaze polish in the color Frostbite and on top i used the Wet n Wild Wild Shine glitter polish. I am not too sure what the name of it is, but it is my favorite glitter polish to use. This was my first time using a China Glaze nail polish, but I was kinda disappointed. I had to apply the color about 3-4 times for it to be this pretty bright color. If you don't have time to sit there and apply this many coats and wait for it to dry I don't recommend this color.  The upside about this nail polish is that it lasts on your nails without chipping. Normally mine start chipping after 3 days because I wash my hands so many times a day since I work with kids. Right now its the 6th day and I only have minor chipping. Maybe I will try another color in this brand soon. You guys have any recommendatio...
