May 2017 ipsy Review & Giveaway Announcement

Tuesday, May 30, 2017



Hey guys! Today I wanted to share my May ipsy bag with you. I love ice cream so I really love the bag design this month. Not only is it super cute but it's also water resistant, making it perfect to bring along to the beach or pool. It's perfect for summertime! {Subscribe to ipsy here if you'd like.}


Before we jump into the details, I wanted to tell you about my giveaway on Instagram. Once I hit 2200k I'm giving away a May ipsy bag that is almost identical to mine. The only difference is the lipstick, the winner will be getting a red lip crayon instead. They will also be getting some other goodies as well as some samples. There will also be a second prize winner who will be receiving a bag with Wet n Wild goodies plus some other extras and samples! If you're interested in entering head over to my Instagram. There's a photo that you can get an early entry in.


Okay now let's get to it... 

What I got in my bag:






Mellow Cosmetics Creamy Matte Lipstick in Nude.

This is such a pretty color. The lipstick smells really nice, like coconuts. It feels really soft and moisturizing on your lips. I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of this during the summer months. 


Jelly Pong Pong Supercharged Super Intense Eyeshadow Duo in Electric.

These colors are very pretty. I love the slight shimmer in them. They are also super pigmented and creamy. I've only swatched them, but I can't wait to use them next time I do my makeup!! 


Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Surfer Girl.

This color is perfect for summer. It's such a bright and fun shade. It's supposed to have a gel effect so it won't chip easily, which appeals to me. I can't wait to paint my nails with it! 



Urban Decay Afterglow in Sin

This highlighter is so so beautiful. It will definitely give your skin a lovely summer glow! 





Luxie Beauty
Luxie Dreamcatcher Precision Foundation Brush 660

This brush feels very soft. I'm not sure that I'll be using it as a foundation brush, I'll most likely be using it as a blush/highlight brush. I'm a fan of Luxie's brushes so I look forward to using this one! 


My overall thoughts: 

I enjoyed the contents of this bag and the bag itself this month. Everything is really nice and I feel like I am going to get a lot of use out of the products. 


What did you get in your ipsy bag this month?

Xoxo,

The Crème Shop: Drink Up, Skin! Face Mask Review

Thursday, May 11, 2017




Hey guys! Welcome back to my little blog. Today I wanted to do a little review of  The Crème Shop's Drink Up, Skin! Face Mask. I was lucky enough to win a face mask giveaway over on Instagram from @polishedandbubbly {find her blog here}. I won a bunch of lovely face masks that I'm super excited to try. When I saw this one I just knew that I had to review it for you guys! :) 


Okay review time...




Not only is the packaging super cute, but the mask itself is also really adorable. It's like a Snapchat filter in real life!! I mean, who doesn't love penguins!? The mask feels super refreshing on your skin. You can refrigerate it before hand for a little while for a cooling effect - which I really enjoyed! I left mine on for about 20 minutes; I felt like my skin was in need of some extra love and care. You can leave it on for 10-15 minutes or until the mask is dry. The mask left my skin feeling hydrated and looking glowy. I was very impressed by it. I will definitely be using this mask again in the future.

You can find & purchase the mask for only $4.00 here.
