Ipsy July 2014 Unboxing & Review!

Time to take a super quick break from my Tomoson reviews for a minute and bring you my July Ipsy bag before July is over!!! I think this month was a pretty decent Ipsy month, at least decent enough to keep my subscribed!! :)
For those of you who don't already know, Ipsy is a month subscription program that brings you a bag full of makeup goodies for only $10 a month. They can be full or deluxe sized, and are usually a mixture of both! I've been subscribed over a year, and probably won't unsubscribe for a very long time. lol If you'd like to learn more or sign up please use my referral link HERE!

The theme this month was Sensationally Sunkissed and here is what I received!

Everything this month was a little bit small.. Especially the teeny tiny eyeliner. But the bag this month was actually kind of huge for a change. A great new lipgloss bag for my purse!

Another view of when I first opened my bag!

Bare Minerals BB Advanced 5 in 1 Cream Eyeshadow in Divine Wine .03 oz. 

 TINY Sample Value:  $5.40

I really hate cream eyeshadow, yet for some reason I receive it repeatedly. This color is kind of like cement, yet kind of purple. It seems like it would last a really long time, but is definitely too much for me. Cream eyeshadow just has too much potential for creasing for me to even deal with. I love Bare Minerals as a brand, but this just isn't my style at all.

Lord & Berry Black Silk Mini Kajal Kohl Liner

Mini Liner Value: $5 (Est.)

Typically I really hate Kohl liner, but I actually really like this one, even though it's really tiny. It's a good size to carry in my purse for emergency liner. It's a little smudgy but I guess that is how all Kajal liner is. It goes on really black and smooth though, It's pretty nice.

Clear Clinic Labs Vanished Clear Spot Treatment

Sample Value $9.33

I really like this sample. It arrived just in time for a massive breakout too, which was really helpful. This stuff pretty much burns like fire, but it works. It dried up all of my acne within two days.  I really like it alot, and if it weren't so expensive I'd probably buy a full bottle. But I think I'll stick to Murad.

Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil

Travel Size Value $3

This is probably a pretty decent product. I received a Hang Ten sunscreen last month. If I had gotten this last month I probably would have used it, since I went to the beach, but since I am back home, I don't really tan or go outside all that much now, so this is pretty useless to me.

Model's Own Nail Polish in Red Sea

FULL SIZE value $8.50

So I was super stoked about getting one of these polishes. This is a brand I've wanted to try for a very long time. Unfortunately it is gloop city and I really really hate it. Yuck.

So that's my July bag! Some hits, some misses, but hey, for $10 who really cares?

Again, like I said if you'd like to subscribe make sure and use my referral link located at the top of the post! !  

Until later,

Ipsy June 2014 Unboxing & Review!

Sorry I'm a little late with this post! I got my bag right before I left town and have had so many Tomoson reviews to do, I honestly didn't really have time to do anything else! Today I'm bringing you my June Ipsy bag! WHICH by the way, is AWESOME and for the first time in a WHILE I love every single thing in it!

For those of you who aren't subscribed to Ipsy already, here's a little info about it. For only $10 a month, you get a cute little bag packed full of makeup/skincare/haircare goodies valued usually up to $100. It's a killer deal and sometimes you even get full size products! I've found SO many different items and brands that I would have never tried myself through Ipsy. I've been subscribed a little over a year now and I LOVE IT!
If you'd like to find out more, or even subscribe yourself CLICK HERE! I'll post another link at the end of the review!

This month's theme was Pretty in Paradise. I really love what I received, especially because I just got back from the beach and all of the items came in really handy for me. Especially the beach waves spray, which is my favorite thing ever.
I apologize in advance that I didn't take photos of my bag when I received it. I'm going to try to pull together the best pics that I can!

Here's a picture of the bag this month! Isn't it so cute!?! I love it. Spoilers after this:

Ipsy May 2014 Unboxing & Review!

This month marks my ONE YEAR with Ipsy!!! So, today I bring to you my May Ipsy Glam bag.
For those of you who don't already know, Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that for only $10 a month, brings you 4-5 deluxe sample to fullsize makeup, beauty, or skincare products!! Usually the bags have a much higher value than the $10 too, so its totally worth it. If you'd like to sign up for Ipsy, please use my referral link HERE!

This month, there were a TON of different items and a bunch that I wanted. Unfortunately I didn't get exactly what I would have loved to have, but overall it was still a pretty good month.

My favorite part of the bag this month is actually the bag itself. It is SOOO cute and a kind of canvas like material and I absolutely love it. It's going to be my new lipgloss bag for sure!

Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow Duo #1 in Celestial and Opal - Value $7

First up is an eyeshadow from Pacifica. I received eyeshadow duo #1 in Celestial and Opal. As for quality, it's a really nice shadow. It has a really smooth texture, and had I received the other shade, I probably would have really loved it. I'm not a huge fan of purple shadows though. I love Pacifica's products though.

Boo-Boo Cover Up Concealer - FULL SIZE! Value $19.99

Next is a concealer called Boo-Boo Cover Up. I'd definitely never heard of this in my life until I received it, and that is one thing I really love about Ipsy. I was kind of skeptical I'm not going to lie, but this stuff is AWESOME. It covers up EVERYTHING!!! Dark Circles, Age Spots, Acne, you name it. Freaking awesome, new favorite concealer. I received this in medium and it seems a little light, but it blends in pretty well. It contains ingredients that promote healing as well, so it will help your imperfections get better.

Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil - Travel Size Value $13

I'm all about getting stuff to make my hair better right now, so this is a pretty great sample for me. I received the travel size version of Balanced Guru's no frizz oil with organic sesame, grapeseed, jojoba, and tamanu oils. This stuff smells reallllllly good too and made my hair frizz free on a hot and humid day here in Tennessee. Love it!

Hang Ten Classic Body 50 SPF Sunscreen - Value $2.17

I also received a very handy sunscreen from Hang Ten. This is yet another brand I've never heard of in my life. Apparently it is affiliated with Coola, which I don't really love... so I don't know if I'm going to love this. I do however work in the sun so I'm going to test it out on my face. I found it to be a little bit on the runny side which is unfortunate, but it's not greasy, which is good. Here's another picture to show you.

See, runny city.

Avene Thermal Spring Water - Value $9

Okay so this one really confuses me.... I don't really understand the whole idea of paying a very high amount of money to spray spring water on your face when you can literally open a bottle of water or turn on a faucet and do the same. This, Ipsy, is a miss.

Bag Value - EST $47

OVERALL this month was pretty decent. I feel like they did a good job if matching products to the seasons, and most of this bag I like. As with all mystery bags, you can never be certain, but AGAIN if you want to subscribe, make sure and USE MY REFERRAL LINK HERE!

Ipsy April 2014 "Beauty Rocks" Unboxing & Review

So I decided not to cancel my Ipsy subscription after all, and I'm actually pretty glad that I didn't. This month's bag was REALLY good compared to all the other bags so far in 2014.
If you'd like to sign up for Ipsy, feel free to use my referral link HERE!
I'm not going to go into to the story of Ipsy this time, because I've don't countless posts before but for $10 a month you really can't beat it! I love testing new products, and I've found SO many that I love because of them.

Here's a first look:

The theme for April is "Beauty Rocks". I'm not totally sure how they come up with their themes, it doesn't really seem to correlate with what is in the bags, but mostly just the bags themselves. Either way, the bag is pretty big and kind of cute compared to some of the one's I've received lately. This is my 11th month with Ipsy.

This month I received:

• Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide on Eye Pencil in "Black Velvet"
• Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion
• Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Shadow in "Champagne"
• Mary Kay at Play Jelly Lip Gloss in "Berry Me"
• St. Tropez Gradual plus Anti-Aging Multi Action Face

Like I said I'm pretty pleased with this months Ipsy bag. This is the first month this year that I've loved every single product. I have tried all of them so far so here is a quick overview of my thoughts.

First up, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil Travel Size Value: $15 (estimate)/ Full size $20

If you read my blog regularly, you know I don't really love pencil eyeliners. However, Urban Decay glide on liners are the exception. They are great and highly pigmented and go on with ease. They last literally all day and are GREAT pencil liners. I'd definitely purchase this in a full size version.

Up next is Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion Value: $9 (estimate) Full Size $78

I recently have fallen in love with this brand. They are pretty expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion. I use Pores no More regularly and love it, and tested out this product tonight. It left my skin feeling very clean, and much less dry than I started off with. It's like my winter skin just went away. It hurt a little but while scrubbing, but no pain, no gain. 

Up next: Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Shadow FULL SIZE VALUE: $12.99!

I love getting full size products in my bags. I was excited to receive this as well, and have been using it about three days. It's a great color for your lids or as a highlight, and is highly pigmented and I love it. Elizabeth Mott is a brand that I have only received through Ipsy, and I love the mascara as well.

Mary Kay at Play Jelly Lip Gloss FULL SIZE VALUE: $10!

YAY for another full size product. Finally Ipsy has sent me lipgloss instead of stupid lipstick which I have way way too many of. I'd never tried Mary Kay before so I was excited to test this out. It's a pretty red sheer-ish color and I really like it. It will be great for summer and isn't overly sticky.

St. Tropez Gradual Tan plus Anti-Aging Multiaction Face Trial Size Value $10 (estimate)

I usually use the Jergens self tanner or the Walmart version, so I was happy to receive something that is specific for my face. I'd never tried St. Tropez before or even heard of it but I'm pretty pleased. I've been using it at night and can't speak for the anti-aging properties of it just yet, but it isn't greasy and has a pleasant smell. I think I may be a teensy bit tanner too.

And here's some swatches of the liner and eyeshadow for your viewing pleasure! But you can't really see the shadow on my hand, but I promise it's really pretty.

And here is an extra of my new blonde hair and what the eyeliner looks like on!

Total bag estimated value: $56.99! In my opinion that is an AWESOME deal for what I paid! $10!!!

So again, If you want to sign up for Ipsy, please use my referral link HERE!

And here are the coupons for the month of April that come with your Ipsy subscription!

Ipsy March 2014 "Destination Beauty" Unboxing!

I'm a little late posting this as I've had my Ipsy bag for a week or so now, but I'm not TOTALLY thrilled with it, nor am I thrilled with Ipsy right now after the whole PopBeauty lipgloss disaster last month. They still haven't emailed me back about my defective gloss, and I emailed them over 2 weeks ago. So take that as you will.

For those of you who don't already know, Ipsy, formerly myGlam, is a subscription service I usually love created by Michelle Phan, the YouTube makeup guru. For for low low price of $10 a month, they send you a cute little bag filled with 4-5 deluxe sample to full size beauty products from makeup to nail polish to skincare. I usually REALLY love my bag every month, and have been subscribed for almost a year now. :) If you're interested in learning more about Ipsy, seeing my past bags that I haven't posted on here, or want an honest opinion about it, don't hesitate to ask in the comments below! And if you love the looks of this bag, feel free to subscribe using my referral link HERE!

The theme for this month was "Destination Beauty". It's a pretty cute theme considering March is usually the time for Spring Break and travelling. Here is a look!

This month I received:

Nyx  Love in Rio eyeshadow palette

Pixi Primer

Chella Blue eyeliner pen

Bare Minerals Moxie Lipstick

Like I said, this definitely isn't the most awesome bag I've ever received, but I do really like the Bare Minerals Lipstick! Here's some swatches of the lippie and the eyeliner!

The eyeliner is super bright blue, and while I haven't used it on my eyes yet, it stayed on my hand for awhile! :)

This is a swatch of the Nyx "Love in Rio" palette. I really like these colors and they seem very pigmented and smooth on my hand.

Well, that's really all I have for you about March Ipsy! Stay tuned for my March Starlook's Starbox review!

Ipsy January 2014 Unboxing!

For those of you who don't know what Ipsy is, is a monthly subscription program where around the middle of the month, for only $10 every month you receive a cute little bag filled with 4-5 deluxe size/full size makeup/beauty/skincare items. I personally love Ipsy aside from the issues I had last month. This months bag for me was not too shabby either. Alot of people were complaining because it was primarily skincare items, but in my opinion we haven't received skincare in a long time so it works for me.

If you're interested in signing up for Ipsy or to learn more use my referral link HERE!!
Let's begin! SPOILER ALERT!

Ipsy December 2013 Unboxing!

It's that time again!! My December Ipsy bag has arrived. Aside from the perfume leakage that it seems like everyone experienced, I'm mostly okay with my bag. It wasn't the most exciting bag or anything. I figured there would be a Christmas theme or something, but I did redeem my points for a Beauty Blender that I am very excited to have in my life! :)

Here's what I received: English Laundry Perfume, Nyx Lipstick, Nicka K Nail Polish, Be a Bombshell The One Stick, Pop Beauty Eyeshadow Trio, and my Beauty Blender

For those of you who aren't subscribed, Ipsy is an awesome subscription service where for $10 a month you receive 5 full or deluxe sample sized beauty items, ranging from skin care, to makeup, to nail polish. If you are thinking about signing up, make sure and check out my other reviews located HERE for November,  HERE for October, and HERE for September. Then use my referral link please HERE. 

Here is a closer look at the Nicka K Nail Polish I received. I don't really like red, but it's a pretty nice bright color. I traded it for some eyelashes. I'm glad I didn't receive the ugly brown nail polish color by Nicka K.

This is the Pop Beauty Eyeshadow Trio in Smokin' Hot. It's a pretty nice little palette for smoky eyes and I tried it out tonight. I did unfortunately notice a little bit of creasing in the middle color, but I think a better eye primer would solve that. Here's some swatches and my makeup. :)

I really like the middle grey color. It's got a really nice shimmer to it, and the dark color is great for creases. A little goes a long way with these colors.

Here's all three on. They blend together very nicely.

Here's the Be a Bombshell... The One Stick. I received the color Flustered. It's a really nice red color with a tiny bit of shimmer. I haven't tried it on my cheeks or eyes yet. I don't think I would actually use this color on my eyes, I think it would crease alot and look weird, but its a really great lipstick and is huge.

Sorry for the blurry photo, but here is my Nyx Round Lipstick in Iris. It looks really pretty on my hand, but totally washes out on my face. I like nude lipsticks and had high hopes. However, it does look great mixed with The One Stick. Here's some swatches:

And here's the two colors mixed together on my lips. It created a really nice, soft pinkish red color that I absolutely love. Definitely my new favorite color for winter.

Here's the perfume sample. It's a 5mL size sample which is pretty nice and the bag came with a men's and a women's. They both smell really nice in my opinion and my husband was super excited to actually receive something he could use for once. Unfortunately, however, they leaked, so I will have to wait to receive my replacement to get the full product sample.

Last but not least, my beauty blender. I used it today for the first time and it pretty much changed my makeup life. I don't usually use liquid foundations because they go on too thick and cause me to look weirdly colored or break out. But this bad boy made it go on like a dream. It has a small end for precision which I really love for my under eye area. :) Everyone should own one of these!!

Here's a list of promo codes from this month's bag! Hope you enjoyed the post! I can't wait to receive my first Birch Box in a few weeks so I can review it too!

Be a Bombshell 40% off any purchase and a free blush - Ipsy40

Em Cosmetics Waterliner Review

Yesterday I finally got around to using my Em Waterliner in Amethyst that I traded for my grey. This product came in my November Ipsy bag as a 6th item bonus, and I have been meaning to review it for some time now.

Ipsy is a wonderful subscription service that you can sign up using my referral link HERE. For just $10 you receive 4-5 (and apparently sometimes 6) deluxe sample or full size products automatically every month. Look through the blog to see the unboxings, I haven't been disappointed yet! If you like trying new makeup for a low low price that you normally wouldn't buy because of price, or you've never heard of it, definitely give it a look!

Back to the eyeliner, here's a little overview of what the product is:
Em cosmetics was started by Michelle Phan from YouTube in August of this year. I've always LOVED her Youtube videos, so I was really excited to try her makeup line. I swear she is the reason I know how to blend my eyeshadow. lol Her Intense Waterliner is supposed to be waterproof without "budging or smudging", even on your waterline. It comes in a wide array of colors, 12 to be exact, from black to gold to green. It went on like a dream, and I kind of want to buy some in black because purple isn't exactly something I can wear every day. However, it was fun to play with. You can purchase it HERE.

Here's the grey liner. Before I traded. 

Who's ready for some swatches!?!

I decided to do a winged eyeliner for this look with some white eyeshadow and black liner on the bottom. It was a little hard to do because the tip of the pencil isn't exactly sharp, but it comes with a really nice smudging tool on the end so you wouldn't have to dirty up your brushes in the process.The liner itself is really bright and went on so smooth that I'd almost compare it to Urban Decay's 24/7 glide on pencil. Close, but not quite as amazing.

Here's another picture with all of my makeup. The purple color really brought out the brown in my eyes which was excellent.

And here's one more, with flash of the other side. Overall,  I'd definitely purchase another one of these in a different color, but only if they went on sale because they are $20 and I'm cheap. The black and the emerald are calling my name. But, if you haven't tried it yet and you're looking for a good, easy to apply, long lasting colored liner, this is definitely something you should add to you beauty arsenal. It's worth the price. I hate eyeliners that smudge, and this one definitely DOES NOT.

As always, don't forget to subscribe and follow on Facebook for all of our posts. Be on the lookout for a Super cute and relatively easy Snowman Nail tutorial coming late tonight or tomorrow!

Until next time,

Xx Ashley C.

November Ipsy Unboxing!!!

I seriously can't believe it's already mid November. This year has totally flown by since I got my new job in March. But, that being said, it's Ipsy time again!! Ipsy unboxing posts are always my favorite to do every month!! This month's bag contained 6 items which I thought was really awesome. The 6th item was a bonus item from Em Cosmetic's which is Michelle Phan's makeup line if you don't already know. I don't know much about her makeup but I know I love her makeup tutorials on YouTube.

For those of you who don't already know, Ipsy is a subscription service where for $10 every month you get a mystery bag of 4-5 deluxe sample or full size beauty items. Plus they come in a cute bag and you get to fill out a profile to tailor the bags to your beauty needs and what you like and don't like. I am very happy with this subscription. I almost signed up for Birchbox instead but I'm really glad I didn't. I've received everything from nail polish, to lipstick, gloss, bronzer, blush, mascara, and beyond. It's a really fun program if you're in to trying new makeup brands you wouldn't normally buy for yourself.

If you want to sign up, please use my referral link HERE, you won't regret it!

So here is my November bag in all it's glory! I am pleased with most everything I received this month.

I got: 

• Kiss everEZlashes double pack
• Em Waterliner in Amazing Grey
• Starlooks Gem eye pencil in Amethyst
• Nailtini Nail laquer in Caviar cocktail 
• Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon in Shameless
• Pixie Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched

First up is the Kiss lashes! As you can see I've already used them. I received the lashes in 03. I love false eyelashes so much. My regular lashes are pretty long already, but I love to play with falsies!! :) These are pretty good false lashes in my opinion and they come with an applicator. I found that the glue that comes with them kind of sucks, but I had some other kind laying around so no worries there. I don't really care for the applicator either. My lashes just kept getting stuck to it. Fingers work better for me. These retail for 19.95 on Amazon. You can purchase them HERE. A little pricey for lashes in my opinion, but they might be cheaper elsewhere. Oh just kidding, I found a single pair on Amazon for $2.01 with $3.99 shipping. Definitely worth that. Go and get them HERE! 

Here's a picture of them on after they'd been on all day. They blend in really nicely with my real ones so they don't look super trashy and fake. :)

Next is the Starlook Gem Eyeliner in Amethyst. I haven't used this on my eyes yet because I'm trading it for the Topaz, but I have swatched it (I'll show you in a minute), and it's really really pretty. It is a super shimmery light purple color that I think would be perfect for winged eyeliner or in the corners or your eyes. Everyone needs a little bling eyeliner in their life right? lol It retails for $14.00 on the Starlooks site and you can get it HERE. I will probably pick up one of these in Myth (a shiny black) and Fancy (A shiny green) while ipsy has the 40% off going on. They look so pretty!!  

Here is the "Amazing Grey" Em liner. It's a really nice Charcoal grey color and is supposed to be waterproof. It also has a little smudger at the end which is pretty convenient if you like to smudge. :) I've been wanting to try something from this line for a long time now, so I'm pretty happy we were all given something to test!! I'll definitely review the purple one after I get it from Michelle on Monday. These retail for $20 and there are 12 different colors to choose from! You can get them HERE

Here's the swatches. Isn't the Starlooks color so pretty?!

Next up is the Nailtini polish in Caviar Cocktail. I'm so glad I got this color and not Champagne because I HATE bronze nail polish and I love silver. I have so many silver nail polishes and I could use a million more. This color is a darker silver color and will look really great with some little fake diamonds or studs on it. I'm much more impressed with it than the Mai Tai color we received a few months ago. Nail Tini is a 3 free brand which is pretty cool. It retails for $13 on the nail tini website but you can buy it for $11.02 on Amazon and save a couple bucks HERE! 

Here's a box swatch.

I also received a Lip Crayon by Be a Bombshell in the color Shameless. Not sure if I'm going to use this or not, I may try to trade it. The last lip crayon I got I absolutely hated. Shameless is a burgundy shimmer color. I know it's fall but I probably would have kept this if I'd gotten, I don't know, hot pink or something. lol  It retails for $14 and you can buy it HERE.

It looks alot brighter than this swatch in person. I imagine it's buildable as well. A nice shade for fall though.

Last is the Pixi bronzer. I wanted to love this. I love bronzer. I use it every day. Unfortunately I received the light color and it totally disappears on my skin. It has a nice shimmer to it, but other than that it's pretty much useless for me. This is the second Pixi product I've gotten that I didn't love. I don't understand exactly who this color is supposed to "bronze" but it's definitely not me. You can buy this HERE on Amazon for $17.85 and it comes with a Kabuki brush. Which is always nice to have. The packaging is cute though. :) 

Can you see it? I sure can't. lol 

All in all, bronzer shade aside, I'm still thrilled with the bag. Hell, I'm even thrilled with the bag itself. I forgot to mention it. It's a shiny gold color and I love all things shiny. :) The total value of my bag was $90+ dollars and for $10 that is a STEAL! Again if you want to sign up my referral link is right HERE!!
