MARCH IPSY BAG!!!

By
Hey guys!  If you are currently reading this, I am in Orange County!! WOOOO!  So so excited to back home for a bit.  Ty and I are going to just spend some time with family and to enjoy Easter in the lovely So Cal.

In today's post, if you couldn't already tell by the title, I am sharing with you all what I got in my March IPSY bag!
I love this bag because it screams SPRING to me and makes me very very happy.


I think the color inspirations for the actual bag itself are just gorgeous.  Not gonna lie, they had three different colors and I would have wanted the full mint green one cause that's my favorite color, but regardless orange and mint are perfect as well. (:


The first item I got was the Marc Anthony Blow Dry Cream.  I am not to sure I will use this product because I don't own a hair dryer....although it smells amaazzzzing.

The next item I actually ordered with my points!  It's so cool that when you review products and 'glam bags' on the IPSY site, you earn points and then can redeem those points for products!  It is the Trestique mini shadow crayon in the shade Marimoto Pink Pearl.  This I love because it's such a simple product and it has a lot of beautiful pigment.

Right below that, I got the Essence Cosmetics Make Me Brow brow gel mascara.  Ok, I was thinking that it was about time that I try out a brow gel because I am always hearing other beauty bloggers saying how amazing they are and now I finally have one to pair with my ABH brow definer and it's amazzzing you guys.  OMG!  I was always worried about when I filled in my brows that they would never look natural and now I have this which totally makes them look natural!  I love too that you can wear it on its own or over a brow pencil.

Next at the top, I received the ModelCo lip lacquer lip gloss.  I am not that into lip glosses.  This consistency seems to be very thick so I am not sure how I will like it, but I am definitely willing to give it a shot considering it's a beautiful spring shade.

Below that I got the Illamasqua Precision Ink in the shade 'Abyss'.  This is awesome.  I love it because I was in need of another liquid eyeliner and IPSY pulled through!  YASSS!!  (:  The pigment is awesome and it almost dries instantly.  I am such a liner girl and I will definitely be buying this when I run out.  I think my favorite part is the applicator.  I can't figure out if it's a point sponge?  No idea.

And last but not least I got the Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Baked Bronzer in the shade 'Heat Wave'.  Holy moly is this beautiful!  It's like the perfect shade of bronze and highlight.  I feel that it's a great shade for me because I am currently white as a ghost from getting no sun and this just gives me a slight color.  Just the look of this alone is stunning.


Well guys I hope you enjoyed another post on my monthly IPSY haul/reviews.  Like I always say, it's only $10 a month and you get alll of these goodies.  I mean, I think three of mine were full sized this time?  Pretty cool.

What't your current favorite beauty product?

I hope you all have the most perfect Easter ever!  I wrote a post last Easter on some adorable sweet treat recipes so go check out my archive and if you end up recreating them, please tag me on insta or snapchat me! (usernames are: charlotterudd)

Talk soon!

Hi everyone!!!  Sorry this post is a little late....but I have literally had zero time to do anything!!!  BUT good news is that I should be done with school in the next couple weeks!  OMG.  I literally cannot believe it.  I have learned so much the past six months and have grown into a stronger and more confident person when it comes to skin care.  I will be sad to leave my new friends but know that we will stay close no matter what (: ANYWAY...lol lets get into the photos! These were all from Christmas Day.  It was literally perfect.  It was just us and we made cinnamon rolls from scratch and went for a ride and then made an incredible dinner!  Oh and cuddled the cats of course.  Very pleased with everything that I got for Christmas too! Ty and I drove down to OC to visit with family and friends for New Years.  Our first stop was at the Too Faced Cosmetics headquarters ...

Hii everyone!  I hope you're having a great great start to the week.  We are still just packing away up here in SF.  Getting ready to move next weekend!  I cannot believe how quickly it has come.  We are trying to fit in all the things that we want to do here before we move. In today's post, I am sharing with you Tyler and I's 9 year anniversary celebration!  It was the most perfect day.  Beautiful weather and it was just so lovely to spend time together. I got us some sweet treats from Susie Cakes a little early because they were too good to pass up.  LOL On our actual anniversary, we wanted to try 'Mr. Holmes Bakehouse' because we have heard so much about it.  And there were toooo many choices. Clearly we went ham and got almost like one of each.  HAHA Too bad we ate them ALL! We came across this view when driving around the city!  How beautiful. We decided to find a secluded bench ...

10 THINGS TO DO DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON...

By
I am excited to be writing this post because I l o v e doing fun festive things this time of year and now that it is December...it's going to fly by.  And I would hate for it to be all over and I have not done anything fun! Here are a few things you can do with your kids, lovers or friends this Holiday season that will for sure bring you some cheer! 1. Watch Christmas films!  I mean DUH!  There are tons of great movies out there to watch.  MY favorites are definitely the old 'claymation' classics like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer & Santa Claus is Coming to Town.  But there are others like ELF & Christmas with the Kranks that are hilarious.  Another great place to watch films like these is on ABC family.  They have a schedule for when they show certain films. (: 2. Look at Christmas lights.  This has a l w a y s been one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season ever since I was a little girl.  You can hop in the car...

Hi everyone!!!!!  ONLY 4 MORE DAYSSSSS OMG!!! As you can see, I am not excited for Christmas at all. (: This post is one of my all time favorite sugar cookie recipes and they are literally so delicious.  I am eating one while I type.  LOL I love that when they bake, they don't spread and the icing is so simple yet so yummy. Let's get started! You will need: ~1 cup of butter softened ~1 cup of white sugar ~1 teaspoon vanilla extract ~1/4 teaspoon almond extract ~1 egg ~2 teaspoons baking powder ~3 cups of flour + more for when you roll out the dough ~powdered sugar ~milk (This recipe yields approximately 30 cookies-that's how many I made-but feel free to double if need be!) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two-three baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl or in your mixer, mix your sugar and butter together. Then add in your egg and extracts. In a separate bowl, sift your flour and baki...
