Ipsy Glambag December 2017

The December 2017 Glambag is a beautiful ice blue bag/clutch with a glitter border by the zipper. It screams NYE and holiday, and I just adores it! My Ipsy got lost in transit, so another was sent. A couple weeks after the replacement was received the the original showed up...SCORE. 2 bags baby!

Ipsy Glamblag August 2017

 

For the month of the August I got scattered, hence the crappy stock photo...

MARC ANTHONY's Strictly Curls Curl Envy Perfect Curl Cream - for a drug store brand, this was quite impressive. Light and lemony, leaves my hair bouncy.

AURORA's Pro Cover Up Concealer  -  thick concealer for coverage, but not great for very dry skin

GLAMOUR DOLLS' Romantic Rose Blending Brush  -  cannot go wrong with another brush!

 

PACIFICA's Coconut Blush Duo  - blush infused with coconut, which had me intrigued. Downside? The box was so tight it took 10 minutes to get the item out! :(

THEBALM COSMETICS' theBalm Voyage Vol. 2 Eyeshadow  -  ugly brown eyeshadow that Ipsy keeps sending me. STOP FOR THE LOVE OF GODDESS!

FOTD: The Golden Ratio

Hello! I haven't done a face of the day in a while now. This is from yesterday, I felt like I needed to actually do my makeup for work. Very quick and only used a few products. The gold is stunning I love it!!! And false lashes are finally agreeing with me again.

Glamour Doll Eyes, Review and Swatches

I kinda love Glamour Doll Eyes. Seriously.

I first heard about Glamour Doll Eyes from myeyeshadowisodd on youtube. I absolutely love her videos. You can clearly see how talented she is. She uses them in quite a lot of her videos, and I became skeptical whether to try them or not. There are millions of beauty videos out there and many companies pay quite a bit of gurus to rave and use their products.

Months later, I decided to give this company a try.

I spent a couple hours on their site deciding over what colors I wanted to purchase. Then I nearly went gaga when I saw the loose glitters. The Eye Lites aka glitters were very fine and ranged from subtly like the lime green and BAM in your face with the red called Fierce. I'm a huge glitter fanatic and with most people they wont use them very often. Only...I will!!!! I also got a few shadows which were super pigmented. And the jar was filled to the top. Kinda messy when opening. But good when spending your money. Check out swatches below.


I think I'd kill for this color. I've never seen red glitter before. Orgasmic.


Needs a blue base to really pop out.


Pretty, but when I wore it I could barely notice it was on.

It's a purple party!

When I opened the jar I fell in love with the color. I thought hello Tinkerbell! When I wore it out, it was really light and look for like a shimmer.


I don't wear a lot of dark greens, but gave this a shot. It's super pigmented and am making it my fall go to color. It blends with ease.


GORGEOUS! I love gold colors but not many are this vibrant. A must have!


Metallic. Shimmery. Beautiful. My new work color.


Blue or purple? Depending on your base you get to decide.



Pros:

• pigmented
• vibrant
• blendable
• lot for your money
• fast delivery
• great selection of colors

Cons:

• glitters are fine and too subtle in color
• opening jar poofs out and loses some product

Rating: 8.5/10
