EW Taylor Swift May 2019 Inspired Makeup

If you follow my blog, then you know over the last year it's mainly been Ipsy reviews. Ever since I moved back to Chicago I haven't really felt too much inspiration. The last 9 month I have been temping for this company - putting in the hard work until I was made permanent. Once it happened, a great weight lifted off my soul and this few weeks I've upped my social media game. Along with increasing my blog flow (not just Ipsy posts anymore. YAY!). 

When my Entertainment Weekly with Taylor Swift on the cover came last month, I KNEW that I NEEDED to recreated her look. It made me miss all the years I had neon colored hair; every color of the rainbow to be exact. 

I liked how this FOTD came out. With the exception of my lashes looking a little lopsided (time to get back into the falsie groove).

Ipsy Glambag April 2019

 

April's glambag has some interesting products this month. The clutch has bright, shifted lemons on a white base.  As a girl who was tortured by the color yellow growing up, I now LURVE my bright yellow shades. Bring out the springtime weather please. Chicago has not been kind to us...

Ofra Cosmetics' Rodeo Drive Highlighter - Ofra's baked highlighter in Rodeo Drive is a warm, golden color that applies on creamy. It reminds me of the classic, luminous color for living in the west coast. Retails for $29

Laura Sanchez's Moods Eyeshadow in Alien Turquoise - Alien Turquoise is a shimmery aqua-blue shade that is easily blendable. This color is from Laura Sanchez's Moods palette. She says, "I named the palette using emojis, which is our form of global expression. So visual that it breaks the language barrier." Color me intrigued. Retails for $10

Tarte's Double Duty Beauty Base Tape Primer - Tarte's new primer hydrates your skin under your makeup for a full 12 hours. I was stoked to try it out, but I found it a tad too watery - as it slips right thru your fingers. Retails for $30

Marc Anthony's  Hydrating Curl Cream - This formula hydrates and defrizzes to leave your curls bouncy. My hair doesn't like many curl products, but this one...it took to. Too bad they discontinued their Argan Morocco Oil straightening cream, it was amazing. Retails for $8

Doucce's Punk Volumizer Mascara - Doucce is lightweight mascara that adds great amount of volume without clumping. Retails for $24

Ipsy Glambag March 2018

March's Glambag was a creative one. If your only looking at the bag, it's a black and white bag - but inside it came with 2 markers. It's coloring time! I imagine they would wash out and you can start over. It's a stellar idea to change things up. 

NIP+FAB's Glycolic Scrub Fix - it refines, restores, and brightens your skin each time you use it. This scrub was a pleasant surprise for my pores, it really cleans them out! Retails for $10

TARTE COSMETICS' Sex Kitten Eyeliner - creamy, jet black waterproof eye liner great for lower lids too. Retails for $20

WINKY LUX's Powdered Lights in Charm - holographic highlighter that you can't help fall in love with. Retails for $18

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Mono in Lola - vibrant purple that claims no creases. Retails for $15

GOLDFADEN MD's Facial Detox Mask - this detoxing purifying mask pulls out dirt and debris from way deep down, making your skin look glowy and brand new. My pores in the last year have been nothing but trouble but this mask is my goddess-send. MUSTHAVE. Retails for $65

Happy New Year 2018! And yes I'm 6 month behind on my Ipsy's. But happy to report that my temp job is now permanent. Moving on to the pretty stuff...

DOUCCE's Maxlash Volumizer Mascara - deep black in color, that doesn't clump. a decent mascara. I didn't notice the volumizer in this product. Retails for $22

PEEK Beauty's Multiuse Black Primer - this product I'm really into, a black eye shadow primer...neato :) They say it doubles up for your lips. I'll have to try it out with pics later. Retails for $22

MAKE UP FOR EVER's Aqua XL Eye Pencil in M-10 Matte Black - ONE OF THE BEST ITEMS EVER. THE END. Retails for $21

Margaret Dabbs London's Treatment - Enriched Nail Polish in Green Daylily - the picture doesn't show how rich the color is, not reflecting the teal. Retails for $10
