December 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!!

This month's bag wasn't that exciting for me and I gave away as gifts most of the things in this bag. One product I really wanted to try, but I wasn't able to and I will let you know once I get to the product.


The bag this month is a nice bag. I been using a few of my ipsy bags as gifts to friends and family. This one will be used for that soon.


Beauty Without Cruelty AHA 3% Facial Cleanser

This cleanser is directed more to oily skin people and I don't have oily skin. Plus I started using a new one that I think I am loving and will continue to love. It is barely the second day using it so we shall see. I will be giving this one away to someone.

NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm

I received mine in Marshmallow and it didn't work out for me at all. I didn't hydrate my lips at all they got even more dry than before. Now I am left dealing with these dry lips. Just keep in mind my lips are stubborn just like everything else about me haha. Not any old lip balm will work on me. 

Pixi by Petra Fairy Dust


I got the shade Brightening Bare and I don't like the shade. It was so blah to me, but the formula was nice. It was nicely pigmented at first. By the end of my work day it had faded away a bit even with a primer and a base. I honestly think I will throw this out. I wasn't very impressed so I won't be using it. Might as well throw it out.

Swissco Electroplated Eyelash Curler

At first when I saw this I was annoyed because it was just an eyelash curler couldn't you have sent me something better?! Now I am happy that I received it because the one I was using wouldn't curl all of my eyelashes and everytime I put on mascara it would look weird. This one does curl all of them and I love it! 

Tarte Deluxe Lights Camera Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

I really wanted to try this, but it isn't waterproof so I decided to give it to someone as a Christmas gift. I know I love my Laura Mercier mascara and that is not waterproof, but I heard that this mascara comes in waterproof so I would rather try that one if I were to try it. The Laura Mercier one does not come in waterproof so I just pair it with a waterproof mascara.

Well that is my December 2014 Ipsy bag. What did you get in your December bag?? If you are interested in this subscription service it is $10 a month for 4-5 deluxed sample or full sized products. Go here to sign up if you are interested.

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.

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 are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
