Nail Polish Haul from Urban Outfitters

I got this last month at Urban Outfitter's additional 50% clearance sale. The regular nail polishes were $.50 each, and the nail art set was $1. 

Nails this week - Pinkey Nude

I got this nail polish at an Urban Outfitter's clearance sale for $,50! Not too bad. It's a cute pinkey nude color. Let's see if it will last!

Nail Polish from April Ipsy Bag

I usually don't like pink nail polishes, but I love this color! It's a pretty neutral candy pink color. The texture is pretty watery yet slightly creamy. I added 3 coats.

E.L.F. Makeup Brush Cleaner from Target

My new fave Brush Cleaner from e.l.f.! I have a tendency of forgetting to clean my makeup brushes on a weekly basis, so this quick brush cleaner helps. I got this for $3 at Target. Some people use a use a towel to wipe off the dirt and grime, but I use these paper towel cleaner thingies.

Product Review on Ipsy Glam Bag's Mirabella Lip Liner

This is one of the item's in my May Ipsy Glam Bag. If you want to see what I got in my May bag, click here. It seems like everyone gets something a little different in their bag. It will either be a different shade, or a completely different brand of, for example a hair serum. I got a hair serum from NuMe, others may have gotten one from Macadamia Oil. Again I have to say how impressed I am with this month's bag. I received 3 full size items and a sample.

I was pretty excited to try this color. I actually don't have a lip liner, or lipstick in this shade. The name of the color, I am not sure what it is called..... The lip liner just said K19. This is a coral/red/orangey color to me. It's a perfect color for spring and summer.

The color is very pigmented. You can get away with using a little, just for a tint of color, or work with it, and make the depth of the color really bold.

In this pic above and below I added very minimal color. I blended it with my finger with some clear lip balm. I don't have a lipstick in the lip liner shade, so I decided to use it as a lipstick. 

In this picture above and below I went to town to see how dark and bold I could get the color. And as you can see, the color gets pretty intense and pigmented the more you apply. 

Overall, I liked this lip liner. The quality is nice, the color is very pigmented, and again, it's a full sized item. I feel like this shade can be flattering on all skin tones, except if you have alot of redness going on, on your face. Luckily I didn't today. Sometimes my skin can get red blotchy patches because I have sensitive skin and light eczema. I think I found my spring/summer pop of color lip!

Target Beauty Haul

I got a $100 gift card for Target from my credit card points, so of course I'm going to try new makeup! Most of it is ELF makeup, which I am excited to try because I've heard so many good things about their new lip products. ELF has been my latest makeup brand to be excited about when I shop at Target. ELF's prices are awesome being always under $5, and most of the things Ive tried so far have been good. I just wish ELF at Target had more different products available in the store, most of the newest is on the ELF website. I will hopefully get pics and reviews soon. I still have to review my Ipsy Glam bag for the month of May. Hope everyone has a good Monday! I am not looking forward to going to work tomorrow..... There needs to be an extra day on the weekend.

If you guys use ELF makeup, what is your favorite product?

My May Ipsy Glam Bag is Here!

Yay! My May Ipsy Glam bag is here, and it's like a mini Christmas. Again, I am impressed and pleased with my items this month. I got 3 full sized items (Zoya nail polish, Juicy Beauty lip gloss, and Mirabella lip liner) and 2 sample size items (NuMe hair serum, and concealer). If you guesstimate the amount of each item's price, it totals well over $10 a month. The nail polish alone is $8, I am guessing the lipgloss is $5-$10, and the lip liner is $5-$10. The only item I am disappointed with is the concealer. The shade is way too light for me. Luckily my sister has fair skin so I gave it to her. The packaging of the sample concealer isn't that great either. You have to keep it in the generic plastic container it comes in, otherwise it would dry out. Sometime this week I will have reviews and pics of each item! If you got the May Ipsy glam bag, what is your favorite item? 

NYX Green Concealer Review

I FINALLY got a green primer. I got this at Ulta for $4.99. Green colored primers are good for covering up redness on the face. NYX is one of my fave brands at Ulta. The price is reasonable, and the quality is pretty good. I have ALOT of their lipsticks, blushes, and use their felt tip eyeliner everyday.

I had a couple of red patches on my face, and a pimple on my forehead to cover up. I already put my Estée Lauder BB cream before putting the green primer. I probably could have put the primer on first, and then applied my Concealer and BB cream on top.

I used my fave concealer chubby stick by L'oreal and simply went over the green primer.

Final step! I blended the primer and concealer together with my beauty blender which was sprayed with a little water, set my face with my Smashbox halo powder and ta da! Redness and blotchy skin gone! I'm impressed with this primer, the texture was smooth and easy to blend. My skin looked really even throughout the day as well. I'm not sure what the proper method is of applying green primer, but I found this way pretty effective. If you guys use green primer, how do you use it?

Mini Ulta Haul

I love pore strips. I love the feeling of ripping them off and seeing what your strip has.... Haha I know it's such a weird thing to enjoy.... But hey, I'll admit it! I wish they were a little cheaper though. Luckily I only get these every 3 months, because I think $7.99 for them at Ulta are a bit much to buy every month. Plus, I heard it's not good if you use a pore strip every week because it can strip off the surface of your skin. I've also been wanting a green concealer for when I get redness on my skin or a bad alien pimple. I will have a review with pics up soon of the concealer.

Ipsy Glam Bag Sneak Peek for May

I got this e-mail promotion for May's Glam Bag. I'm excited! I hope I get a cool color. I'll post pics once I get my bag.

Wet n Wild Spring Colors Nail Polish Haul

This is my new fave brand of nail polish. I am pretty impressed with the formula. The formula is thick, creamy and really pigmented. The brush is nice and thick so it is easier to apply. The nail polish dries pretty quick too vs other nail polishes I have. The nail polish seems to last pretty long too, I've had the purple color on my nails for a week now and it JUST started chipping. I got these at Walmart for $1.68 each. You can get Wet n Wild at Walgreens & CVS too but around me they are cheaper at Walmart. The only bad thing I can say about this product/brand, is that they need more color selection!

My Ipsy Glam Bag is Finally Here!

I am quite impressed with my first Ipsy Glam Bag. This is for the month of April, I think the theme was pink. Every month my items will come in a cute small bag, and what I have noticed from past glam bags I have seen online, I will get 2-3 premium samples and 2-3 full size items(which is a great deal for $10.00 a month). The items I don't care so much about I will most likely give to my little sister. The full size items I got for the month of April are; hot pink blush, pink eyeshadow quad, and a baby pink nail polish. The sample was the Big Sexy Hair volumizing powder. I will hopefully have a post up soon with product reviews and pics!

My Ipsy Glam Bag is on it's way!

Just got an email for my Glam Bag! It finally shipped! I checked the Glam Bag Tracking code to see where my bag is at, and it is actually down the road from my house at the mail center! It got there at 5 am this morning. So hopefully today, or tomorrow I will get it. I will post pics once I do! I am even thinking of doing a video of me opening it for the first time. So yay! I'm excited. Hopefully this bag is worth it.

Sunday Funday!

Sorry this is a couple of days late. But here is my Sunday Funday captured in pictures.



Driving back to the burbs early Sunday morning from my best bud's. I ended up crashing at her place because we were all so tired from our Beer trolley tour we got from Living Social.



I went to Bargain books to sell some magazine's and old books. I love this place. They don't give you a whole lot for old magazine's, but it's better than just recyling them. I got $8 :)   It's a fun place to look at magazines and fashion books too.



I love looking at magazines. They give me inspiration, and I like seeing new product's to try. I love going to bookstores to look at mags and take pics of things I want to remember vs buying the magazine. It saves me $ hehe.



I remember this brand of hair care being popular back in the day. I also saw a section of this brand at Target! Has anyone tried it lately? Let me know your thoughts!



I want to try this eye liner! It looks cool with the new tip. The John Frieda volume spray stuff looks fun to try too.

These 2 movies were actually not bad! Safe Haven was cute. J.Hough is so naturally pretty, and J.Dum was so hot having kids in the movie. Side Effects was TRIPPY. There was a twist that I never saw coming or even thought of. 

Last but not least, I met Annie! My boyfriend's dad had an early birthday surprise for their mom, a cute little pupppppppppppppppppppppy! She is only 8 weeks old and adorable. All she does is sleep right now because she a wittle baby. :)

Hope everyone's Sunday was a fun day! Can't wait for the weekend again.

WTF - Ipsy Glam Bag Waitlist?!?!?

I FINALLY ordered the ipsy glam bag yearly subscription BUT now there is a waitlist to get your ipsy glam bag! It doesn't exactly say how long the wait is, but that you will be "billed once you start receiving your monthly bag"..... So now the waiting game starts. I hope it's not too long that I have to wait. I saw the past 4 month's bags and they looked pretty nice! 1-2 full size items and some samples. Usually the full size items are valued more than the monthly price. Do any of you get the glam bag? What do you guys think of it?
