Ipsy July 2016

I'm LOVING the bag this month. Holographic is stunning! 

These are my items this month! To be totally honest, I'm not really digging it. 

Trust Fund Beauty - No Filter nail polish

This is a full size nail polish by the brand Trust Fund Beauty. It retails for $15.00. I unfortunately am not excited about this item because I get fake nails now and don't use nail polish. I am hopefully trading this with someone. 

Eva NYC - Get Glossed! Hair Serum

This product I was so excited for! I love hair products (especially oils) and this is amazing! This is a deluxe sample size. 

Makeup Forever - Excessive Lash Mascara

This is a deluxe sample of the MUFE Excessived Lash mascara. I haven't used it yet because I'm wearing false lashes a lot lately so mascaras have been getting pushed aside.

Mellow Cosmetics - Baked Eyeshadow in Coco

This is a full size Mellow Cosmetics eyeshadow that retails for $8.00USD. I like this shadow, it's totally my colour, but it's nothing special. Not a lot of pigment even when applied wet.

J.cat Beauty duo Brow Pencil in Dark Brown

This is a full size brow pencil that retails for $3.99. When I received it I was very unhappy because dark brown is NOT my colour. It really isn't, but I can make it work. It glides on beautifully and it stays well. 

Overall, I am not overly impressed with this Ipsy. I don't hate it, but I definitely don't love it.

My First Ipsy Bag! January 2016

I like this eyeliner because the colour is so unique - like a green gold. I like the pigment, it goes on smooth and it lasts all day. I'm so glad I got this and I would recommend it for sure.

Admittedly, eyeshadows are my weakness. Receiving this was so exciting. The colour is stunning and the formula is smooth. It isn't THAT pigmented though, it's more like a wash of colour or a sheen. Perfect for a natural makeup day!

First of all, worst attempt at an eyebrow - ever. The Ofra Universal Eyebrow pencil doesn't make sense to me because there is no way this is universal. I JUST made it work because I have dark hair but light brows. Blonde ladies probably couldn't use this. The pencil is very creamy and eyeliner shaped so it's the most different brow product I've used. I like it but I won't be replacing my Anastasia Brow Wiz. 

I love this Beau Gachis brush (I don't know how to do the accent). It's dense so it's very controlled. I really, really like this. I don't even know what else to say. 

I also got the Aveeno lotion but I already have it in my work vest because it's so perfect! 

This is my attempt at making a look on my hand using these products. I love how they all go together so well!
