September 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!!

I know I am late with this post especially since I already received my October bag, but I had been really busy lately. I was excited to receive the bag after I saw what I was getting on the website. Here is the bag and products:


I have a lot of makeup bags thanks to this subscription service, but this one is one of my top favorites that I have received!


Now to start with the products inside the bag. 

Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction

I honestly didn't think I would love this product. It is supposed to moisturize, provide shine, smoothness, softness, UV Protection, manageability,strength, anti-breakage, heat protection, and light hold. First of all it smells really good and secondly I love how soft my hair feels once it is dry and because it does smell good it makes my hair smell good too. It has also helped with breakage of my hair and I will most likely be buying the full size!

Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush

I have heard a lot about Crown Brushes so I was very excited when I saw this in my bag. The brushes are very soft and they apply and blend my makeup amazingly. When I washed it none of the brush hairs fell out. I am impressed with this brush and I may get more in the future.

NYX Hot Singles Eyeshadow
I received the color Addiction and I am in love with the shade. It is a pretty burgandy color and it is perfect for fall. The formula of the shadow is amazing it is pigmented and really easy to blend. I kind of want to get more of these haha. What are some of you guys favorite shades??

Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil
I received the shade gun metal and as you can see it is a silver gray shade. It was a little disappointing because it isn't as creamy as I thought it would be. I only use it as a base on my eyelids for other eyeshadows and it works for making the shadows pop and last all day.

Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss
I received the shade Basic Instinct. I honestly didn't try this one all I did was swatch it. This color isn't a shade that I am into so I added it to my giveaway winner's goody bag and hopefully she enjoys it. I wish I had gotten the red shade.

That is all for my September Ipsy bag. If you are interested in getting this subscription service it is only $10 a month and you received 4-5 deluxe samples to full size products. You can go here to sign up. If you are already signed up what were some of your favorite products for this month??

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. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. 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 is the difference between Chemical & Physical Exfoliants??

 Hey guys!! What is exfoliation for? Your skin regenerates every 28 days or so and sun exposure and aging slows that process down. That is where exfoliation is key. It removes dead skin cells, brighten your skin complexion, and fades acne scars.  Getting rid of your dead skin cells is very important because it can help prevent bacteria, dirt, and sweat from getting stuck underneath the skin's surface. It can also help prevent and treat acne and inflamed pores.  What type of exfoliations are there? There are two types of exfoliations. Physical and Chemical. Physical Exfoliation Physical exfoliation is my least favorite and I do not recommend. Here is why. Physical exfoliant products uses micro-sized grains, beads, and particles to remove dead skin cells. Basically anything that scrubs at your skin like tiny granules. It is made of coffee grounds, walnut shell powder, sugar, rice, and salt. Other examples of physical exfoliation are a cleansing brush, a konjac sponge, a cloth, and a
