October 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!!

It is time to review another Ipsy bag. One thing I have to say is I am excited to receive the November bag. What are you guys getting?? Now back to October's bag. 


The makeup bag we received I am in love with it. Look how beautiful. I definitely will be keeping this one.

I will start on a great note! I am in love with this next product!

City Color Be Matte Lipstick
I had been wanting to try these lipsticks for a while after hearing Andrea Matillano rave about them. (If you guys love reviews you should totally check her out) I was so excited to see that I was getting the lipstick especially since I have been loving matte lippies recently. I LOVE this product it is pigmented only one swipe and you get almost full opacity. It is not drying at all and it lasts about 4-5 hours on me. On the picture the left swatch is with 3 swipes and the right one is with one. I want mooorrreee!!! 

KISS iENVYbyKISS Lashes

I was going to try these lashes last week, BUT I pulled on the lash too hard trying to take it off the packaging that it ruined the lash. I am sure you can tell with the picture how I ruined it. I was sad that I couldn't try this. 

Figs & Rouge Hand Cream

When I first opened this cream I LOVE the way it smelled and I had high hopes for this. I always use a hand cream before bed so my hands can soak in the moisture while I sleep since I wash my hands 10,000 times a day. I had to put on 2-3 layers for it to feel moisturizing. It is not as moisturizing as I want it to be. I am almost done with it and it is not my favorite hand cream.

Skyn Iceland Mini Glacial Cleansing Cloths

I didn't technically use this for my face, but I did use it for swatches. It was pretty good to remove the swatches. Sometimes some wipes come too dry, but these were very very moist. If you are looking for some new cleansing wipes maybe you will enjoy these. 

ModelCo VOLUMEYES Extreme Black Mascara

This one is short and sweet. This mascara isn't waterproof so I didn't even try it. I am just going to give it to someone I know.

That is my October Ipsy Bag. I only really loved one product this month. What did you guys get for your October Ipsy Bag?? Did you love the products you received?? If you are interested in signing up go here. It is only $10 a month for 4-5 deluxe sample sizes.

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
