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 ...

Battle of the Eye Primers

Hey guys!! I have oily eyelids and I struggled when I was younger with my eyeshadows and eyeliner creasing. At the time I never understood why. I went into sephora a couple years ago with my best friend and asked "how can I stop that from happening?" That's when I was introduced to eye primers. My first ever eye primer was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I have been testing out 6 different eyelid primers and out of the six only two did not work for me. I decided to do this blog for the people that have that same issue as me and to show you guys what options there are out there in the make up world from drugstore to high end.   I tried the ELF Eyelid Primer, Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, Mary Kay eye primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Too Faced Shadow Isurance, and BareMinerals Prime Time Primer. I'm going to start off with the one that was the worst one out of all of these. It was the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. $4.99 ...

Home Chef

Hey guys!!! Do you guys ever struggle to figure out what to make for dinner everyday?? Do you guys want to change it up every once in a while and try something new??  That was me a few months back and I ran across Home Chef in a YouTube video and I clicked on the link she had and I tried it out! They make it really easy for you! They send a a binder so you can use it to put all the new recipes that you receive for future usage. You go online to your account and they have about 15 different meals for you to choose from. You can either order for 2 servings or 4 servings. Also you can customize your account if you are vegetarian or have any allergies so they will not show you the meals that you are unable to eat. Each meal doesn't take long to do. It can take you about 30 minutes for you to do each meal. This was one of the first meals I made: Crispy BBQ Tofu The ingredients for each recipe comes in separate bags and are organized. Each ingredient is por...
