June Ipsy bag!

Hello lovlies! Summer is finally upon us, thank goodness! Here in Washington it’s always so cold and rainy, so we take up all the sun we can get!

I just want to say I LOVE this months ipsy bag!!!

Hey Honey come clean facial scrub:

This is such an amazing exfoliating scrub! I love it and it really gets all the yucky dead skin off, I used it before getting a tan and it was amazing!

Feel pure anywhere rose balm

This balm smells so gooooddddd!! I’m a sucker for anything Rose and Lavender (if you couldn’t tell from some of my more recent post) so I was so excited to get this, it moisturizes really well and it last all day!

MAC prep+prime primer

This primer is so smooth and silky, it has a hint of glitter in it, which for some people could be a issue with, but it’s ever so slight and gives you this glow. I don’t mind the glitter much, helps my makeup stay on all day!

Pacifica eyeshadow

I love love love love love this eyeshadow. My two favorite shades are the orange ones because I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for a good pigmented orange and I finally found it! I use this every day!

Firma 102 brush

I love this brush, it’s very soft and applies very naturally. Not to mention it looks really good with the marble!

That’s it for this post!

Let me know down in the comments what you got in your ipsy! Or if you have any of these items!

Beauty Empties: March – April

Hello guys! Sorry for leaving for a few weeks, Christine did a lovely job holding down the fort!

Choosing which college to attend in the fall was such a huge decision and it sucked up all my time. I just committed to a college in California and I could not be happier, so I’m back to blogging!

Anyways, lets jump into the beauty empties:

Makeup:


Bareminerals Touch Up Veil in Translucent – This powder was really lovely and it has spf 15, but no flashback. I would repurchase this in the future!

Physicians Formula Eye Pencil in Black – This eye pencil was just okay, it didn’t stay in the waterline so I wouldn’t repurchase.

Skincare:


Vapour Beauty Clarity Cleansing Oil – I really like this, it is so lightweight and takes off your makeup really well. I already repurchased!

Acure Purifying Fruit Peel – This was amazing, it really got the top layer of dead skin off and left me glowing. I also really love this skincare brand  and I would definitely repurchase!

Pacifica Dreamy Youth Day and Night Face Cream – This was just okay, it wasn’t anything stand out and I’d recommend it if you just need something that will give you lightweight moisture for a cheap price. Continue reading “Beauty Empties: March – April”

  • Cruelty free and vegan!

Promise: 

7 in 1:
• Lash Serum • Instant Length • Lash Lifting • Volumizing • Conditioning • Rich Color • 2 in 1 Brush

To be honest, I have quite mixed feelings on this mascara, so I’m just going to lay out my thoughts, and you can decide whether this mascara will work for you!

This mascara has kind of a jelly/clay formula, it is thick and goopy. It doesn’t weigh down your lashes, it actually curls mine nicely. This doesn’t give me much length but it will give you lots of volume. This just got so clumpy on me. The product is thick and it takes a long time to comb through your lashes if you would like to have more than three eyelashes on each eye and separate them. I just don’t have time for that in order to get the look I want when I have so many other mascaras that work better.

Beauty Empties: Sept-Oct

Hello guys! I have a lot of beauty empties from these past few months, so lets get right into it. Grab a snack because this will be long!

Makeup:


Elizabeth Arden Skin Lotion – I love this so much, but it is discontinued and not cruelty free so I can’t repurchase.

Pacifica lip balm – I liked this except I went through it pretty quick. I probably would buy it again.

Laura geller lip pops lipgloss – I wish I could repurchase this! This is my favorite gloss formula ever but it was limited edition and is now discontinued.

Bobbi Brown Smokey eye mascara – Finally finished this! I’m glad to get another makeup product out of my collection that isn’t cruelty free.

Skincare:
