Ipsy Glambag - November 2016

 

November had some great scores in my Ipsy Glambag. I'm getting close to catching up!

 

EYEKO's Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner deluxe in Black - glides smooth and smudge-proof, even on the waterline. GREAT EYELINER. $22 full size

 

Benefit Cosmetics' the POREfessional face primer - goes on silky and feels like nothing against our skin. Actually minimized my pores to almost non existent. $31 fullsize

  

NUXE's Nuxellence DETOX - This silky smooth serum purifies and detoxes. After a few uses, our skin looked luminous and well-rested—even after an all-nighter. $40 full size

 

Absolute New York's Matte Stick in NFA52 Dark Red - not familiar with this  brand, but this dark red matte wasn't drying on my lips. No liner needed. WINNER. $6

 

OFRA Cosmetics' Banana Powder - multi purpose: concealing, highlighting and setting. $15 full size

 

 

 

 

Ipsy Glambag September 2016

 

ToGoSpa's Eyes by ToGoSpa in Green Tea EYES - reduces redness and pores, while hydrates, de-puffs and helps with dark circles. This is a go! Retails for: $10

 

Pixi by Petra's Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle - Ugh natural lipstick...BORING. PASS! Retails for: $12 (full size)

 

Briogeo's Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask - restores and hydrates your hair. Retails for: $36 (full size)

 

IT Cosmetics' Superhero Mascara in Super Black - this brand seems to be popping up a lot lately, right? the mascara clumped my lashes together, I'll keep it as a backup when I have nothing else to use. Superhero? Ummm...NO.  Retails for: $24 (full size)

 

BelláPierre Cosmetics' Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow - this brand is new to me and this creamy and luminous bronzer I found quite pretty. Retails for: $15

 

 

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.  

 

 

 

Ipsy Glambag May 2016

May is a big winner!

Hikari Bronzer in Radiate - GORGEOUS! Plus you can section off for one solid color.

Smashbox's X-Rated mascara - does Smashbox make a bad mascara?

SOO AE masks (set of 3) - These masks retail for $15-$20, which I've seen for sale at Target. Color me impressed! I've tried the Collagen and Brightening. A little more than what I pay for in a mask, but they are pretty fantastic. 

Epice Hydrating Mask- goes on thin, but leaves skin exceptionally soft

INSPR Beauty's eye fluff brush - never enough brushes!

Inspired Makeup from Rihanna - Who's That Chick?

 

 I love Rihanna! Plain and simple. Well, there is nothing plain about her. haha. Her videos lately have been like being transported back into the 80's and I love it. Who's That Chick, which I dubbed as my birthday song last year, is such a great party song and even funner (yeah I know not a word) music video. I love the yellow eyes and bright pink cheeks. Mine is a little more subdue and wearable for most people, but I got the inspiration from the video. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

FOTD: Girl Date

 

Hey guys! I had quite an eventful weekend last week. I had only an like an hour to get ready to meet my friend out in boystown. As she called it, "it's our girl date night!" 

We went to Jack's on Halsted, which is a big date place and we were pretty much the only women there. But I had a $50 gift certificate and they served strong, delish martini's. I'm fancy! Oh la la. :)

I threw on my new Katy Perry wig (that's what I named her). What is that strange? ha. I opted for some simple Rocker eyes and my new L'Oreal lipstick that has Gwen Stefani in the ad...and called it a night. I don't have the product list, but I have a few more pics.
