My Ipsy Bag for June 2013

June Ipsy bag

My June Ipsy bag is here and I love it.

I’m glad I made the switch for sure!

June Ipsy bag

So what did I get?

1. The bag.

I adore this bag! It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and it’s totally me. A little 80′s neon and a lil animal print what more could you ask for? Haha.

2. J. Cat Beauty Sparkling Cream Palette

This is a cream shadow set. I haven’t used it yet, but it reminds me a lot of a NYX one I used to own. I’ll let you know how I like it in a future review.

3. Starlooks Lip Pencil in Tickle Me Pink

I can always use a pink lipliner.

4. Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter

I’m a sucker for a great highlighter so I can’t wait to try this one out.

5. NYX Cream Blush in Boho Chic.

I already own and love NYX cream blushes so I’m excited to add this one to my collection. Boho Chic is a nice light pink shade.

6. Cailyn Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner

I’ve heard amazing things about this liner from makeup artist friends so I can’t wait to try it myself.

If you’re a subscriber what did you get in your Ipsy bag this month?

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream Review & Photos

If you’ve been reading this blog for very long at all then you know that I love me some BB Cream.

Like seriously I own way more than anyone should, but it’s all in the name of research right?

Right?

Yeah, I thought so haha.

So when I was sent the Hydroxatone BB Cream I was excited to test it against all the ones I already own.

How did it fair?

Here are my thoughts….

The Good:

Blends easily
Good coverage
Satiny Finish
Great for combo/oily girls like myself
SPF 40

The Bad:

The $39.00 price tag.

Final Thoughts:

It’s a great BB Cream, but I feel like it’s a tad bit overpriced so I don’t think I’d repurchase it again for that reason alone.

$34.00 is my limit for a BB Cream hahhaha.

That’s how much my beloved Tarte BB Cream is and I thought it was pricey.

I’ll pay a lot for a foundation, but I dunno I just can’t do it for a BB Cream.

I do like it a lot though so if money is no object and you want to try a great BB Cream then give this one a go.

Sorry for my lack of posts lately I was on a little vacay last week and I turned into a major slacker haha.

I’m back now though so expect things to get back to normal around here shortly.

As many of you know I’m obsessed with highlighters.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I have 20 or more of them in my collection.

So when my sister ,a fellow makeup artist, called to tell me about this amazing highlighter she had just bought I listened.

She went on and on about it and proceeded to tell me it was a dupe for her hourglass highlighter and that some youtubers were saying the same thing so I pretty much dropped the phone during the middle of our conversation and ran to my local Walgreens and picked it up.

Why they call it a bronzer I’ll never know because I don’t know of very many people who could use it as one.

That’s ok though because it makes one of the most beautiful highlighters I’ve ever seen!

I love it and the fact that people are calling it a dupe for a $45.00 Hourglass product makes it even that much more awesome!

Dust it all over your skin with a large powder brush for a soft glow all over or just dust it on your cheekbones, cupids bow, etc for an amazing glowing from within look.

If you’re in the market for a new highlighter pick it up you won’t be disappointed!

Have you tried it before?

What’s your favorite highlighter?

Thanks to everyone who suggested I switch to Ipsy I’m glad I finally listened!

This was my favorite duo of the bunch.

It smells so nice and and I just adore how moisturizing the body cream is.

This was my second favorite set of the bunch.

Just like the shea butter & citrus line the cream is super moisturizing and it smells like Marzipan.

How can you go wrong with that?

Yummy!

Made with 100% organic honey this is another amazing Perlier Duo. These products nourish and moisturize the skin thanks to honeys properties of vitamins, proteins and minerals.
