Ipsy July 2016

I'm catching up...here we go with July!

theBalm Cosmetic's Meet Matt(e) Trimony Eyeshadow in Matt Moskowitz - matte plum eyeshadow

 

Briogeo's Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Quinoa Frizz Control Gel - this item is supposed to give smooth and bouncy curls and never crunchy or sticky. This gel did control the frizz and but didn't achieve great curls.

 

Too Faced's Hangover Replenishing Face Primer - Too Faced is one of my favorite brands and I lit up. First Too Faced product I've ever got in my Ipsy! It made my face feel refreshed, awakened and even works as a moisturizer. 

 

skyn ICELAND's The ANTIDOTE Cooling Daily Lotion - hydrates, detoxifies, soothes and calms inflammation with cooling sensation that reduces redness. WINNER. 

 

Thrive Causemetic's Infinity Waterproof Eyeliner in Lauren - glides on smooths, but didn't have great staying power like advertised.

Product of the Week: Too Faced Kitty Glitter

I bought this over the holidays from BeautyTicket.com, which is a site that has discounted products. I thought it would be more of a body shimmer, but its pure glitter. Not that I'm complaining. I mean hello glitter freak, here!

What Too Faced says:

These glamorous glitter pots add shimmer, sheen and shine to your face or body. The gentle, fine powder formula acts as an extreme highlighter, with multi-dimensional glitter that plays up your features. Dab a little on for that "come hither" look, or dust on liberally for a "see-me shine" effect. Powder puff included.

It's a loose glitter that comes in the color white, called Purrrrfect. They also sell it in pink. It comes with a little face pad to pat the glitter on your face. I use glitter for my eyes mostly, but I really like this for your face. Especially cheeks. One of the next FOTD's I will remember to use this. In the picture it looks more pink, but its really white on the skin.

I'm kinda in a rush, so this is all I'm gonna about this. But you get the point...good product. :)

UDPP vs Too Faced

Urban Decay Primer Potion was my first primer I ever bought. I fell in love instantly. No more creasing during the day/night when I wore my makeup. That is such a pet peeve of mine. The packaging is uber cute and retro. You can see above and below, its shaped similar to a genie bottle. The packaging rocks, but how much can you get out of it? 

I decided to put it to the test. I bought UDPP in Sin about 4 months ago, and I noticed last week I was running low. Hmmm...it still feels pretty full. I tried hard to break the little bottle open. I tried a knife, scissors and throwing it against the wall. I finally got it open and was in shock on how much was STILL in the bottle. I filled up a little container that is 1 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch deep. I managed to fill it completely to the top! Can you believe that? How much was wasted on my last UDPP and I threw it away. BAD! 

I've have heard great things about Too Faced Shadow Insurance and I gave it a try. Keeps color strong and crease free all day long during wear. The container lets you get all of the product out with out surgery like UDPP. I was a little disappointed that it only come in one shade. :(
