Heeeellllooooo!  So October is pretty much over...which means C H R I S T M A S is almost here!  AGH!  Can you tell I am excited?!  LOL I am just so ready for the holidays and the cold.  It is so grossly hot here in California...I honestly hate it.  I hate the heat when it is supposed to be cold.  You feel me? Any way!  Let's get onto the reviews (: First up is my  Ipsy  bag!  I think this little red lacey bag is cute!  My favorite part is the 'bat' shaped zipper. (: The first product that came in my bag was the ' Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in the shade Perversion '.  Wow this eyeliner!  It glides on like butter when you use the tiniest amount of pressure.  It's c r a z y.  I like finding good eyeliners for my water line that wont budge.  So A+ for this one! The next product was the ' Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Oil Treatment '.  This sm...

The September Ipsy bag was great!  The bag design is simple yet sassy.  I love black already and the fact that this has small studs over it made me really happy. (: The first item I got was the ' Skin Food Egg White Perfect Pore Cleansing Foam ' which I have used a few times and love!  It smells...amazing.  I was not expecting it to but it did!  It's so fresh and floral.  When it comes out of the bottle, it's a creamy smooth consistency, but when you add water to it, it becomes more frothy and foamy.  I love this cleanser because it is super gentle on my skin and feels like it's really giving it a good clean without feeling too dry and squeaky.  If that makes any sense...lol The next product I got was the ' Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Medium Angled Brush '.  This brush is really pretty!  If I could have all my brushes look like this I would.  The bristles are super soft and feel really nice on the lids. The next i...

Hi guys!  Today I am sharing my J U N E Ipsy bag review with you.  I am so in love with this simple yet girly bag.  It feels a little retro which I adore and the fact that there are lips on it...too cute! The first product that I have basically used almost the entire thing is the ' Delectable Triple Moisture Body Lotion in the scent; Coconut & Cream '.  This stuff you guys.  OMG.  So first of all, it smells like summer.  Pure coconut.  So delish & it is so creamy and softening on my skin.  I took this little bottle camping with me over the weekend and have literally almost used the entire thing because it smells and feels that good. (: The next product I got was the ' Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in the shade; Game Changer '.  AGH!  I am living for this color.  It screams summer and will look sooo good on tan skin.  I love nail polish so much so I am very glad that I received this one to add...

Hey guys!  So I have never done a post like before but I have been H O A R D I N G my empty products (and this isn't even all of them) to share my thoughts on! I feel like this would have been better as a video...but my computer is an old grandpa and can't take large files any more.  So lame I know.  I am working on getting a new computer so that I can start filming again cause I miss it and genuinely want to do it.  I decided to sort out the products into categories to make it a little more organized. But anyway...let's get started because there are a lot of products to talk about. S K I N Pixi by Petra have this amazing ' Hydrating Milky Mist ' that just smells and feels incredible.  I honestly want to spray it 24/7.  And to be honest, the packaging and name of the product sold me.  But it really does make my skin feel super hydrated and dewy.  (I bought this at Target) As you all know, I work for LUSH cosme...

I absolutely love rose.  Which is so strange to me because it just hit me one day.  I never remember liking rose and now that I am in my 20's, I want evvverything rose scented and flavored and colored etc. When it comes to beauty products, I am all about the rose.  Rose is naturally very gentle yet effective on so many levels.  It's hydrating, soothing, toning and an anti-inflammatory.  I tend to actually have a lot of redness in my skin when I am not wearing makeup from breakouts and just my natural tone in general.   Using products with rose and rose oils has helped my skin tremendously and I could not be more satisfied. Rose can also be good to ingest because they are filled with antioxidants which help fight free radicals (which can be a lot of environmental factors).  I like to drink rose tea and rose water.  And buying roses to display in your home have meaning too.  They completely brighten up a room and genuinely make you feel so...

This months  Ipsy  bag was a greaaat one for me.  I am super happy about all the items I got! The bag design this month is cute.  I love the fact that it's a mix of astronomy and makeup.  Very cute idea! The first product I got was this set of 3 botanical sheet masks from ' bonvivant ' which I am obsessing over.  I have yet to try them, but if you know me, you know I love face masks.  Sheet masks are awesome too although I always get sad that each pack only has one mask in it.  But the fact that Ipsy sent me 3!  I cannot wait to try each one. The next item I got was the ' Elizabeth Mott lip lacquer ' in the shade 'Moxie Mauve'.  I loveee this shade.  I wish it was a little bit more on the matte side but overall it has really good pigment! Next I got the ' Formula X nail polish ' in the shade 'Huntress'.  I already am a huge fan of Formula X and when I got this shade, I was like....(insert heart...

This months Ipsy bag was designed by Valfre  which I love and am so happy about because it's honestly the cutest bag we have ever had! One of the first things I got was the Nudestix concealer pencil in the shade 'Light 2'.  I am very excited about this because I think it the perfect product for brows!  To achieve that sharp carved look.  It has a really creamy consistency and great pigment. The next thing was the Noyah natural lipstick in the shade 'Smoke'.  I am obsessed with this shade!  Totally up my alley and perfect for this new grey toned lipstick fall trend. (:  Consistency is also very creamy and has great pigment.  I normally like matte lipsticks but I am happy to try this shade on my lips! The next product I got is the Balm cosmetics Hot Mama blush .  I just loveeee their packaging so much.  Like all of it.  It is so up my alley with being all vintagey.  And this blush!  It has such a beaut...

 These products are honestly my favorite when I have a spot. My skin had seriously gotten so much better in the last couple months which makes me so so happy and people (friends & family) have noticed a change!  Hallelujah! I have started drinking a lot more water which has not only helped my skin, but my constant/almost daily headaches. I have also kept my skincare routine to approximately 3-4 products with the use of masks every couple days which I love. The Mario Badescu Drying Lotion treatment is a clay consistency which will dry up a white head. The Grease Lightening treatment is an aloe gel which is calming and cooling and reduces swelling and redness. The Super Spot Remover is also a gel but when you put it on a breakout it begins to burn/sting which has me to believe it's killing the bacteria and breaking down spot. (: And the Aveda oils I like to just apply because tea tree is naturally very antibacterial and the rose reduces inflammation. ...

We had such a lovely weekend!  We went to this adorable little 'Mermade Market' which felt like a mini flea market with the most adorable booths and things!  We got so much cute stuff!  They are having another show in December and I cannot wait to go again! We also went to moms boyfriends art show which was so cool to see!  He actually did a live drawing too! We are heading to the beach now! Have a gorgeous Sunday! xoxox C
