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??

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of  Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n

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

Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo

Hey guys!!! I love love love the Batiste Dry Shampoo , but before I traveled back in October I had ran out and I didn't have time to buy more. I went into a drugstore and the only thing I found was a Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo so I decided to go ahead and try it out.  I honestly do not like this dry shampoo, but I don't hate it. This dry shampoo will get the job done. It sucks up all the oils in your hair and it will stay like that till the next day. I hate the smell of it. To me it turns me off to a product if it doesn't smell good. Also a couple days ago I sprayed some in and someone told me that one side of my hair is white. This is definitely a product that you need to brush it out after a few minutes of applying it to your hair. The white cast that it leaves behind also turn me off to this product. Overall this is an okay dry shampoo. I will be going back to Batiste as soon as this is done haha. Have you guys tried this product?? What do you think??
