I received my FabFitFun pretty late. Because my card wasn’t updated for a month my order was delayed - But with the spoilers, I wasn’t even sure I wanted the box this month. Which is pretty disappointing because I finally rounded one full year equaling four seasons AKA four boxes. Fall 2019s box was not impressive, I think if I didn’t have the flat iron in it I wouldn’t have updated my card. I’ve been using the same straightener for 10 years that I got at TJ Maxx for around $20 and have been meaning to get a new one for years. How did you feel about your FabFitFun box?
Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks - A set of 6 large (shocking) gold foil eye masks to brighten, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of dark circles. After 1 use of sitting on my face for 15 minutes, I can already tell that the puffiness was lessening. I love the gold foil and the size of these eye masks! Retails for $25
NassifMD Detox Pads - I was quite surprised at how large these pads were. It was one of the items I picked in the customization and the only item of the customization options that I wanted. The Detox Pads deep clean, exfoliate, reduce pores, brighten, even skin tone, firm, smooth, and reduce inflammation. The ingredients used will give your skin a fresh glow, reduce breakouts, diminish pore size and brighten over time. On their website they’ve stated, “In a clinical study, our Detox Pads removed makeup 108% more effectively than soap and water.” Retails for $45
Human + Kind Body Souffle - whipped and quickly absorbed into your skin, which leaves it very soft. Retails for $18.50
amika Strand Perfect Ceramic Styler - The amika Strand Perfect Styler has 100% ceramic plates that heat throughout. They radiate far in-fared heat that preserves the moisture in your hair to protect from damage. The end result made my hair extremely shiny, color me impressed. This flat iron heats up in less than 20 seconds and matches my mini hairdryer from BoxyLuxe - neato. Retails for $80
The Better Skin Co. Better Skin Lava Magik - This product is a 3 in 1: Cleanser, Exfoliator, and Mask. Lava Magik works to give the skin a more radiant appearance. French Lava wrapped in calendula, grapeseed, cucumber, and chamomile. This product intrigued me with its red-ish pink lava from France, but I'm unsure how it's purposed to work as all 3. In the end, when applied, the Lava Magik is creamy and turns into a fine exfoliator. Let's not forget the beautiful fragrance. Retails for $32
Skinvolve Body Boost Gel - This product was inspired by menthol's ancient medicinal benefits. They claim it works by targeting problem areas through our caffeinated blend of green tea, ginseng, and menthol to help break down stubborn fat cells all while keeping you smooth and toned. While it been a long hot minute since I've been to the gym - I started using pre-workout 5 years ago (and love it). But preworkout for your skin? Interesting invention - but not a road I am treking down... Retails for $45
Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair - With the process of going silver (the long process) I'm always picking up repair or conditioning hair products. When I lived in Vegas, I loved going to the Aveda Institute and getting my hair done with their products. It protects from heat to reduce breakage by 90%. It helps detangle and protect from breakage and damage due to heat styling. My hair is the longest its been in over 10 years...WOWZA...and since its naturally awkward curly - it tends to get extremely knotty in the shower. Retails $31
Harper + Ari Exfoliating Sugar Cubes in Juice Cleanse- How cute are these?! And the smell? I'm not understanding why they chose to name it Juice Cleanse, but its a sugary and fruity scent. YUM. 1 squishy cube goes far in the shower and covers your entire body (and surprised me by getting soapy). After I checked out their website, I wanted to buy Lemon and Winter Woods in the tall adorable jars. Retails for $16
just a plus size gal, who embraces life, fashion and the complete obsession I have with makeup!

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 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!

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 - April 2016
Shame, shame on me for falling behind! Here's the April Ipsy Glambag...
Moroccanoil Treatment - little too heavy on my hair, even after the pool.
Trust Fund Beauty's That Glo Tho Face Highlighter - I'm not a fan of the sticks, whether its blush or concealer but this highlighter is beautiful. And you can make it buildable as well.
REN Skincare's Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream - my face actually felt calmer!
Tarte's LipSurgence™ lip crème in Wonder - not in my usual color palette but Tarte is a winner.
L.A.B.²'s Live and Breathe Beauty
Just Blending In Brush - good affordable brush!

Product of the Week: Lola's Wigs
This is my second post for Product of the Week, and its a little different. I'm not raving about a certain brand and specific product in that brand. I've been watching a lot of Hannah Montana lately. Don't judge! haha. I don't know why but I'm really addicted to that show. I love the music and some of the costumes.
Emily Osment, plays Lily and Lola on the show. Lola is her way of dressing up and hiding the fact she is Hannah Montana's best friend. Lola is always decked out in these bright, colorful wigs. I love them to death!!!! And just to clarify, I was into wigs before I started watching the show. Promise! She reminds me a little bit of a real life Japanese cartoon. I look forward to another crazy wig every episode.

The pictures below are screen shots I took, so they might look a bit hazy. But you get the point! Those wigs are not for everyone on a daily basis, but for me I effen love them!!!!
Which is your favorite?
P.S. do you like my banner I made at the top? I just got GIMP for Mac. :)

hello shortness, my new hair
It's no secret that I have curly hair and I hate it. I've always wanted to try a chemical to straighten my hair, even by just a little. Pivot Point is only 2 blocks from my apartment and last week I gave it a go. Pivot Point is a cosmology school therefore the prices are very low for services. Instead of paying over $100, it cost me $40. Well, I had a coupon so essentially cost $20. $26 with tip.
My poor hair didn't take it too well. I have dyed hair, so mixing with the relaxer a lot broke off actually. :( And brushing it an over excessive amount of hair came out. Yesterday I decided to get it cut off.
This is what is was supposed to look like:
The girl took a tad too much off. It's even shorter than Christina Aguilera in Burlesque!
My hair grows fast and maybe I have some bangs. Thanks, Xtina. Much love!
