MY AUGUST IPSY BAG REVIEW!!!

By
Hey everyone!  I hope you're all having an awesome week so far.  Thank god it's the weekend though.  Am I right?!  Later today Ty and I are going to the Sawdust Festival in Laguna and I could not be more excited. (:

Today I am sharing my August Ipsy bag review!






How gorgeous is this bag?!  It's like a makeup addict mermaid.  LOL.  I loveee it.  Such beautiful colors too.

One of the first things I got was the 'Pacifica Sundreams Lotus Infused Bronzer'  in the shade 'Sunkissed'.  I actually really like this product.  Not only because there is a unicorn on the packaging, but that the actual product has amazing pigment and wear.  I mean it is super easy to use too much and then you look like an oompa loompa.

The next thing that I received was the 'Organic Surge Perfecting Face Polish'.  I'm sure you all know how much of a skin care addict I am so when I got this in my bag I was soooo happy.  I love trying new things and finding other amazing brands.  And I feel that that is Ipsy's idea and I am all for that!  This product feels so nice on my skin.  It's definitely exfoliating, but in a gentle buffing way.  The exfoliants in here are very small and do not feel abrasive in any way.

The next product I got was the 'Ciate London nail polish' in the shade 'Spinning Teacups'.  I forgot how much I love nail polish.  I have such a huge collection but have never once owned a Ciate one.  And this shade screams to me.  It's pastel lavender.  What more could you want?  Cannot wait to wear this!

The next product that was sent to me was the 'Winky Lux Diamond powder' in the shade 'Light'.  I am always looking for a new face powder and this one is incredible!  Feels so amazing on my skin and with it being a lighter shade, it's so brightening.  We will see how it wears throughout the day though.  And I am obsessed with the packaging!  Diamonds on my face?  YES PLEASE.

The last product that I got in this months bag was the 'It Cosmetics No-Tug Waterproof eyeliner' in the shade 'Black'. I don't normally wear a pencil liner but this one is nice for your water lines!  I have always hated when you apply liner to your water line and then half way through the day it's like running down your face. Lol. This one does nottttt do that. 

All in all, I really enjoyed this bag!  Super cute design with great products!  I'm super thrilled. 
Thanks for reading everyone and I'll be posting again 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...
