January Ipsy Un-bagging

Hey guys, sorry I've MIA for a minute! Today, I am going to un-bag my Ipsy bag (instead of unboxing.) If you don't know about Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription and every month they send you five makeup samples, some full size, and a cosmetic bag. Oh and it's ten dollars a month. 
It's always shipped in this bright pink bag. 
Here's what came in my bag this month and it came with the royal blue cosmetic bag. 
Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral eyeshadow in Exite
I'm excited to try it, I think it will be nice  as a brow bone highlight and on the inner corner of the eye. 
Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream with avocado and argan for normal to dry skin
I am excited to see if this does any good cause I am ALWAYS looking for a good eye cream. 

Malin+Goetz Mojito Lip Balm
I've gotten this before in another subscription box and I was disappointed because the applicator was weird but this one is much nicer. I liked the formula and the fact that it smells and tastes like a mojito doesn't hurt. 

Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow in Treasure
I think this is a really beautiful color and the fact that it has coconut is interesting. It'll look really nice on the eye and it's a really wearable color. 

Elizabeth Mott allover shadow brush
I LOVE getting brushes in my Ipsy bag! I always love trying new brushes and you can really never have too many brushes! 

Every month is different and sometimes bags aren't that great. I am excited about this month's bag though. I love trying new products and it think this is a really fun way of doing that. I like the Ipsy bag because you get five new products every month AND you get a cute new bag.

Haul! ASOS, H&M, BaubleBar and More!

Hey guys, welcome back! Today I've got a haul for you. For those of you that don't know, I am a online shopaholic and I had quite a few orders coming in so I thought I'd show you what I bought. I got things from Amazon (Sigma brushes and falsies), H&M, ASOS, BaubleBar and MAC. I'm still waiting for my Chuck Bass All About that Bass shirt, which I am really sad about. Let's get started. 

BaubleBar: 
Let me first say when I first started purchasing jewelry from BaubleBar there was no way that I would pay $50+ for a necklace. I'd usually go for earrings and the dainty necklaces and drool over the statement pieces.   Let me tell you, I have changed my mind. These necklaces are such good quality, I'd pay that and more. They are definitely statement  pieces that will jazz up any outfit. (I did get these two on sale, I might add) I will be purchasing more necklaces in the future. 
Ribbon Pearl Petal Collar: $30
You can purchase it HERE

Constellation Bib Necklace: $36
You can purchase it HERE

H&M
I bought these two dresses from H&M. Yes, it is the same dress in two different colors. It was so cute I couldn't help it. The pink one will be perfect for the spring and summer and the black one is perfect for fall and winter. They were also $12.95, so there's that! They have really cute lace detailing on the top an then a deep V in the back. 


Lace Dress: $12.95
You can purchase this HERE
ASOS:
I know these shirts look a little frumpy but I purchased this in white quite some time ago and I fell in love with it so I had to get it in more colors! It looks cute tucked into skirts, with leggings, tied at the side with jeans, everything. I wear at least two a week. They are seriously super soft and comfortable too! 

ASOS Forever T-Shirt: $22.74
You can purchase them HERE

MAC:
I am a self-proclaimed "makeup junkie" so you know I ordered cosmetics. 
I use the Pro Longwear concealer to highlight under my eyes are cover any dark circles. Blend it out with a damp BeautyBlender and you are golden. I use the lightest color so it highlights and conceals.  I was also looking for a nice everyday lipstick and I found it with Cremecup! It's the perfect everyday pinky/nude color. 



Here's what Cremecup looks like on! I'm obsessed! 
I'm also wearing the first BaubleBar necklace!

Amazon:
Ardell
I've been working on applying false lashes for a while now and I'm finally getting pretty good at it! These Ardell Wispies are perfect! They are on the more natural side when it comes to lashes but I really love them! I purchased these for the first time at Sally's for around five dollars and then I found them on Amazon 4 for a little over ten dollars! 
I purchased them HERE for $10.74

Sigma
I purchased two Sigma brushes off of Amazon, the E30 which is pencil brush and the E40 which is is tapered blending brush. The E30, pencil brush, is for softening and smoking out eyeliner. I use it a lot to blend out my bottom eyeliner. The E40, tapered blending, is used for blending out shadow in the crease. 
Sigma E30 Pencil $14.00 can be purchased HERE
Sigma E40 Tapered Blending can be purchased HERE
Also, check out Sigma's website HERE

So that's all I've purchased. Let me know if you enjoyed this haul! Also, let me know if you'd like to see how I style the stuff I've purchased. Thanks for checking out my blog!

Oh, and Pinterest!

What's in my bag: Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Why hello there! Welcome back to my page! Today I am going to be doing a what's in my bag, if you're an avid YouTube watcher, you'll know what this is. If you don't keep up with the YouTube, I will pretty much just be showing the products that I need with me all day everyday because they are in my purse. I always enjoy seeing these so please let me know if you feel the same!


Let's start with the important things, my purse. ;) I bought myself this Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM as a graduation/birthday present a couple of months ago and let me tell you it seriously lives up to its name. I could probably fit a small child in it and it's only the medium sized Neverfull! 

 Deets: Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM Daimer Ebene print

 Here's a photo of the inside. I really love that the inside is this bright red color. I think it's beautiful and a really nice contrast to the outside. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't have to take out like five different lipsticks before I took these photos. 
Inside: I have gum, Orbit Sweet Mint is my favorite. A hair tie. A little flashlight, because you never know. Two EOS lip balms, I have SO many of these laying around everywhere. A Kleenex pack, their new packs are so cute BTW. A mini bottle of ibuprofen, I always find myself needing these! A pair of gloves because it's winter, duh! A Listerine strips pack, for emergencies. A pair of headphones. A car charger for my cell phone. A mirror, obviously. 
 Here's a close up of my wallet. It's from Coach, matching wallets are overrated. ;) I've had this for a while an I love it because whenever I don't feel like lugging around Lou I can just take this out and use it as a wristlet. 
 Here are my sunnies! They are the mirrored Ray Ban aviators and they make me feel like a badass, I'm not even gonna lie. I just bought them and they are really fun. 
And finally, I have this Blistex Silk and Shine lip balm and it is the best! I have this Lemon Sage lotion that I got from a recent hotel stay and it's the perfect size for my purse. I'm going to see if I can find this lotion in a regular sized bottle because I need it in my life. Then there's my Michael Kors silver watch because I tend to throw this in my purse planning to put it on later and then I never do. This watch is really nice because it's like the perfect amount of bling and I love that it has the date on it because I'm always forgetting what day it is. 

Well, there it all is. I really love this bag because it goes with everything and it fits everything, you can also pull in the sides to make it smaller. Let me know what you think in the comments section! 

As always you can find me on Instagram!

Naked 2 Review and Look!


Welcome back! So I know I'm a couple years behind but better late than never! I FINALLY picked up the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette! I already have the original Naked and the Naked 3 so I figured I should complete to collection. 

Here's what the box looks like, like you haven't seen it 1000 times before, right?
Here are the shadows:
Left: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted and Blackout
I'm honestly surprised that I passed by this so many times without buying it! These colors are SO pretty and they are really nicely pigmented. I can't wait to play with this some more! Let me know if you'd like to see more looks using this palette! I was playing around with it this morning before work! It was my first day back after almost two weeks off, so I was hardly coherent but here's what I came up with!
Keep in mind this is after nine hours of work! It held up pretty nicely if you ask me! 
Lipstick is Mac's Nightmoth lipliner and Rebel lipstick. 
I used Suspect on the lid, Tease above the crease, Busted in the crease and blended out in the lower lash line, Bootycall in the inner corner and as the brow highlight. 

Thanks for checking out my blog! 

Please check it out again later this week! I'm going to post at least twice week!

Leave any suggestions in the comments section!
