April Ipsy Sneak Peek

Hello Lippie Lovers! It's that time of the month again! Time to get that 1st sneak peek from ipsy!!!!

So, it looks like their "everyone" items this month are a Buxom Lipstick, a Tarte Lip Surgence, or a Benifit They're Real Mascara?

It looks like a mascara, bu it says on the picture that it's a  tinted primer? So, it's nice to see that these are all non-drugstore brands this month. I think I would be most excited to received the Lipstick (duh right), but I would be happy with any of these, so I am started to get excited for the April bag!

Review: Nyx Liquid Suede Lipstick in Pink Lush

Hello Lippie Lovers! I am reviewing my lipstick that I received in my March 2016 ipsy bag! It is a brand that I really love, Nyx, and it's a product that I have almost purchased a hundred times and I'm excited that I finally got to try it out!!!

The Breakdown:

Price: $7.00
Contains: 0.13 Ounces
Scent: None
Available: Online and at most Drugstores













Part One: Packaging

The packaging is cute, but it can be deceiving. It is not a clear tube where the color shines through, it is a colored tube that "matches" the lipstick color. Mine didn't match 100%, but the lip color was actually more neon and bright than it would seem in the tube. It has that flat paddle applicator that I have said time and time again that I don't care for, but I think it's starting to grown on me... A little. I'll give packaging 4 out of 5.

Part Two: Color

Ok, this is the most neon ass lipstick I have EVER put on my lips... And I think I kind of like it! I was even asked if I was wearing neon lipstick all day! The Nyx website describes it as Hot Pink. I can't say that's a lie because whoa. I don't know how they manage to pack such a pigmented bright neon color that had no streakiness when applied in a $7 tube. I just don't get it! 5 out of 5 for color.

Part Three: Formula

The reason I put this product back and didn't buy it so many times, was that I had heard bad reviews on it in the YouTube community. At the time, they would say, "It transferred" or "It never dried to a complete Matte finish" and I was like, "Oh no, I don't want that". Until I tried the Lip Lingerie, which according to them is perfectly what they wanted and I realized that I may have a different opinion.

I loved this lipstick. It stayed so comfortable on the lips and didn't emphasize my lip lines or bleed, or anything crazy. It stayed very vibrant all day. The picture I will put below was how my lips looks after 9 hours, breakfast, and lunch. For lunch I had a sub sandwich. Yes, mouth on Sandwich. When I went to take it off that night, it actually stained my lips a very pretty color, but as I was beat and ready for bed, I didn't get a picture. I think this lipstick has been bumped up to my second favorite liquid lipstick formula (Sephora will always be my OG) and they have some very pretty colors that I want to get now. Formula gets a 5 out of 5.

Final Verdict:

I don't think I need to say much more. These are affordable, easy to get your hands on, and extremely long wearing and comfortable.They have 12 different shades and I want at least 8 of them now (some are a little to crazy, even for me).

I mean Look at this colors!

12 shades available in the range.

5 out of 5 Lippies.

Bag Review:

I am pretty happy with my bag. The value of the bags has really been over the top awesome lately. I mean the last 2 bags have been in the $40 range, and it's a $10 bag! I think that's pretty dang awesome.

Product Reviews:

Nyx Lipstick: I really like this, but I won't tell you why here, because it's going to get a full on review on it's own (I know I'm a bitch!) Check out that review HERE.

Powder Brush: I really enjoy getting brushes in my ipsy bag, as you may know if you read my February review, but I wasn't too impressed with this brush. I wish I would have gotten more of an eye brush rather than a face brush, but it was soft and compact.

Blow Dry Cream: This product is pretty good. It smells fantastic and isn't too heavy in my hair, leaving it smooth and silky, so a good product that actually sells for a reasonable price. I would probably repurchase this in the future.

Blush Duo: I am a little conflicted on this one. While I do think the product feels buttery and smooth, the blush doesn't really have much of an impact for me. It is very sheer and very light, you could barely see it again my white skin, so I think it would do nothing for someone even a little darker than me. The highlight side is really pretty though, and I have loved it so far. I probably would not repurchase though because I like blushes that are more pigmented than this one.

Vera Mona Eyeshadow: I was just slightly disappointed in this one as the picture made it look very pink, but in person is more of a coral peach color. Still beautiful, I was just looking forward to the pink. It is a nice eyeshadow though.

Final Verdict:

I think this my bag was pretty good this month. Is it my all-time favorite month? No. Do I still think it's worth it? Absolutely!

Ipsy March 2016 Early Access

Wanna Know what I'm getting in my March Ipsy bag???

Here is my sneak peek. Now let's talk about what products I'm actually getting in my bag this month.

1. The Bag. So It looks like i'm getting the green bag. Ipsy put a tip on their Instagram stating that they are going to have bags in 3 different colors this month. I thought all of the colors were cute, so I'm satisfied at the color I will be receiving. While the bags are cute this month, they are not my absolute favorite bag I've ever gotten (See February for that).

2. I'm getting the Nyx Liquid Suede Lipstick. I'm actually pretty excited about this one, since I'm such a Lippie Addict and all. Also the color looks perfect for me too! So far, so good!

3. This is the Pixi Petra Beauty Blush Duo in Rose Gold. Holy cow this looks so beautiful!!! It looks to be like a Highlight and Blush in one, and I'm freaking excited about this!!!!

4. This is the Vera Mona Lotus Eyeshadow in Clover. I've heard of this brand, as they are famous for their color switch sponges, and they only have 1 eye-shadow palette and Clover is a pink color within that palette, and I love the color, and I love eye-shadow so I'm also excited about this one!

5. This is the Me Me Me Loose Powder Brush. I love getting brushes in my Ipsy as I hate buying them, so I'm happy with this one as it looks like the type of brush I actually don't have in my collection.

6. This is the Marc Anthony Blow Dry Cream. I am probably least excited about this one, as I don't really use hair products I get in my ipsy bags, but I will give this one a try as I've never tried a blow dry cream before.

So that's my bag. Pretty great this month and I can't wait to get my hands on this stuff and try it out! What are you getting in your Ipsy bag this month?

March Ipsy Sneak Peek #1

Ipsy has released their 1st sneak peek for March!!!

So honestly I would be excited for pretty much all of these. The Bye Bye Under Eye was the one I wanted last month and didn't get (Though I ended up LOVING my pigment I got instead) so maybe I will get that one, but honestly I really like both the Nyx Liquid Suede and the Colour Pop Eye Shadow!

What do  you think of the 1st sneak peek of the month? Are you as excited as I am? If you are not a subscriber there is probably still time to get the March Bag. Click Here and check it out!

February Ipsy Unbagging!

Hello Lippie Lovers!! This is my first Ipsy un-bagging for this blog! I have been getting ipsy bags for about 5 or 6 months now, and I am excited to share with you what I received.

Please note: I will briefly review any non-lip items here, but the lip products will receive a full their own full on reviews, as hello I love lip products!!!

Are you ready? Here we go!!!

Items Received:

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil - $42 full size (about $5 for the sample)
Naked Cosmetics Mica Pigment in Sierra Nevada (SN-02) - $14.99
Jersey Shore Spa Lip and Hand Polish in Vanilla Bean - $15
Chella Passionate Pink Moisturizing Lipstick Pencil - $18 Fullsize (about $2 for the sample)
Luxie Rose Gold Small Tapered Blending Brush 231 - $12

Bag Review:

So I wasn't overly excited about this bag when I got the early preview at ipsy, but now that I have the products and have started to use them, I think this is probably in my top two favorite bags. Also, the bag itself is super cute this month!

Product Reviews:

So the Jersey Shore Lip Polish and the Lipstick are each going to receive their own review, so I will just stick to other products here.

Smashbox Primer Oil: I actually have enjoyed this so far. I have used it for 2 days in a row, and I was apprehensive about using an oil on my face, but since my skin is on the dryer side, and it's winter I have actually loved the way it makes my skin feel, and it makes my makeup look much more natural. Would I purchase the full size? I don't know, $42 is pretty steep for a primer, but time will tell.

Naked Cosmetics Pigment: So when I saw this one I wasn't sure about what it was exactly, but it's like a beautiful golden glitter for you eyes. This stuff is no joke, and I love it. It give a great glitter effect, but it's not for the faint at heart, or those that like a natural eye look. This stuff packs a big punch. Would I purchase more? Probably, they have some great colors on their website!

Luxie Brush: I really like this brush. I love that light pink handle, and it actually does a fairly good job of blending out that pigment. Would I purchase more from the line? Maybe. I have also fallen in love with Coastal Scent brushes that I received from ipsy in January, and they are more affordable so it would be a maybe on this one.

Final Verdict:

Look I got almost $50 worth of product for $10. I think ipsy is 100% worth it. There are months that are hits and some that are misses, but the more reviews and things you do, the better your bags get, and the last 2 bags I've gotten, I have used every single one of the products I've received on a daily basis, so it's a win in my book.
