For now I am content with my daydreams.

I wanted to share some photos from our drive through the country. I hope you enjoy them...

Hey lovelies! Thanks for dropping by my blog. Today I wanted to talk about All Girl Shave Club. If you're not familiar with this company they make razors, shaving creams, body scrubs, and even body butter. All of their products are made with women in mind.

They have a few different packages for you to choose from.
I ordered the 3 blade razor package that comes with shave butter. It's $18 and you can pause or cancel at anytime. It ships every other month and you get 6 razor cartridges, a jar of their whipped shave butter, and a shave tote (this only comes in your first order). You have the option to change the scent of the shave butter every other month as long as you remember to hop on their website and pick one. :)

Their razors give you a super close shave without causing any irritation. So it's ideal for those with sensitive skin like myself. Their lovely whipped shave butter makes for a better & closer shave. It also leaves your legs feeling silky smooth and hydrated long after you've finished shaving. It comes in five wonderful scents: Pink Champagne (what I got), Flirty Mermaid, Vanilla Cupcake, Cotton Candy, & Unicorn Kisses.  Oh and they are paraben free! 

Scent descriptions (from their website):

Pink Champagne - A very crisp aroma of sparkling white wine with nuances of pomegranate and green apple with hints of rose and geranium. 

Flirty Mermaid - Smells of berries and citrus with notes of white florals on a base of soft amber. 

Vanilla Cupcake - A rich vanilla scent with a warm lingering sweetness. 

Cotton Candy - A fruity blend of cotton candy, lemon drops, caramel, and raspberry on a dry down of musks. 

Unicorn Kisses - A luscious passion fruit blended with citrus fruits and papaya with a hint of sweet vanilla.

They do make an unscented one if scented ones aren't your cup of tea.

Hi guys! It's time for my monthly ipsy review!

Let's get started...

The products in my bag:

- Naked Cosmetics HD Finishing Translucent Powder. I was excited to try this product out! It is super lightweight so it won't give you that cake face look like some other finishing powders out there. I've worn it a few times now and I really like it so far.


- SLMissGlam T35 Precise Blending Brush. It's no secret that I looove SLMissGlam brushes. Not only are they adorable but they're really soft and blend your eyeshadows beautifully. Oh, and did I mention that they are cruelty free!? Seriously what's not to love?



- Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara. Guys, I am in love with this mascara! If you're looking for a mascara that gives you long thick lashes without any clumping, flaking, or smudging then this is the one for you. I wore it all day running errands in the heat and it did not move all day. Yeah, that's right. I didn't need to re-apply it in the middle of the day like I would with other mascaras. This product is amaze.


- Pacifica Coconut Blush Duo. Another product that I was thrilled to get in my bag this month. I am a huge fan of Pacifica and their products. They are always such great quality. This blush duo did not disappoint. The shades are super pretty, you can wear them separately or mix them together. They both give you a lovely and natural glow to your cheeks. If you want a more intense blush and glow you can definitely build it up. I loved that it came with a cute mirror on the back of it. It's perfect to put in your purse.



{Here's a closer look at the shades. They are my kind of blush colors for sure.}

- Labotica Honey & Bamboo Skin Soft Mask Set. I love when I get masks in my ipsy! I haven't tried anything from this brand before so I was curious to see how they were. I used the bamboo one the other day because my skin was feeling quite dry. This masks left my skin feeling so so soft & hydrated. I was super impressed and look forward to using the honey one soon.

My finial thoughts: I thought this month had some really nice products in it. I really enjoyed the blush duo and the blending brush. I feel like I'll get a lot of use out of them. The other products were lovely too! I can't wait to see what September's bag brings!

 Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I wanted to talk about these super pretty Marc Jacobs eyeliners. I received these free through Crowdtap to test out. If you're not familiar with Crowdtap it's this awesome website that lets you earn Amazon gift cards and free samples in exchange for taking some quick surveys and giving honest reviews.

The award-winning Highliner Gel Matte Crayons are now available in high-impact matte!

I haven't tried out the originals, but I've heard amazing things about them. So I was excited to test these out. And boy was I super impressed when I did. Not only were they super creamy and easy to apply but they were insanely pigmented too! They for sure exceeded my exceptions which were pretty high to begin with. These dry down pretty fast and once they're dry it's impossible to smudge them.

Yeah, I said impossible. I don't use that word lightly. I swatched them (in a few different places on my arm/hand) and I pressed down on them and rubbed them VERY hard and they did not budge one bit. Then I did a bunch of house cleaning and the swatches were still there hours later looking just as fresh as when I first applied them. Pretty impressive huh?

I was sent the lovely shades Earth(Quake) and Pink Of Me. Two shades that I will definitely get a lot of use out of. I did wear the shade Earth(Quake) out the other day. It held up very well in the late August heat. These might be my new obsession...

{Here they are swatched on my arm. The first color is the shade Earth(Quake) and the second is in Pink Of Me. They are both so so pretty!}

Great job Marc Jabobs Beauty, you've done it again.

If you're in the market for fun unique eyeliners that are waterproof and super pigmented look no further. You can purchase these for $25 each on Marc Jacobs' website.

Thanks again Crowdtap and Marc Jacobs Beauty for sending me these to test out!
