Hello Lovelies,

This morning I was yet again sucked into Youtube instead of doing my normal everyday work. I started watching a 100 Facts About Me Tag by one of my favorite beauty gurus, AlisonLovesJB. She is amazing! If you don’t know her, you should definitely check her out! Anyway, her video inspired me to start this tag myself and since I can’t really do the video, I’m blogging about it! 🙂 The only thing is, I don’t know if I will be able to think of 100 facts, so expect less! haha And yes, I know I’m weird so expect some strange facts….I’ve tagged a few people at the bottom but feel free to do this tag even if your not tagged!

So, here we go!!

1. When I was in 4th grade, I was mistaken for a boy a lot because my hair was cut super short. That still has me scarred to this day.

9. Both of my parents are alcoholics….but my dad has officially been sober for 1 year! 

10. I would rather do manual labor than sit in a cubical all day.

23. When I was in 8th grade, my “best friend” called my miss piggy because she thought my nose looked like a pigs nose.

November 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag Unboxing

Hello Lovelies!!

Yes, Yes, I received both my Birchbox and Glam Bag in the mail on the same day. Who woulda thought?? Well, since I’ve already done my unboxing for my Birchbox, now it’s time for the Glam Bag….Maybe I saved the best for last!!??!

Below are the pictures of what I got this month from Ipsy. What do you think?

 

 

 

And Here are the swatches of the makeup I got in the bag. 🙂

 

The bombshell lip crayon…it’s the color “Hot Damn”…hahaha….well, It’s a little RED for me. I don’t know if I have mentioned it before, but I’m not a lipstick wearer. I just don’t know how to wear it or at lease can’t find a color to “suit” me. The EM is a really sheer nude lipstick. I think I will actually be able to wear this one.

The Pixi bronzer is a little light for me. As you can tell in the pic, you can’t really even see it on my skin. I’m not really sure what I will use it for…I may just use it in a giveaway. 🙂

The BhCosmetics baked eye shadow in color Aphrodite is…red. Well, I guess it’s more of a burgundy. I’m not sure how to wear this. I think it would be neat to use, but I gotta figure out the best way. Any suggestions?

And the Starlooks eyeliner is so cool. I really like it. I think I am going to use it to line my water line or to use on the top of my regular liner on the top of my eye…like are the flippy part on the outter edge of my eye…and not covering the black I use, but make a new line right above it. Does that make sense?

 

I feel like this Glam Bag was really jammed pack of goodies this month. I am pretty excited about everything but the Hot Damn! haha

What do you think of my Glam bag this month? Do you get it? What did you get in yours?

Join me on ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag! You get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Michelle Phan curates the bags! Check it out here.

 

My new favorite and November Giveaway reminder!!

Hello Lovelies!

I am so excited! I finally got on the band wagon of the big round brushes! Every time I go to get my hair done, they always blow dry it using a big, metal round brush. I bought it at Sally’s for under $10.

I have been meaning to buy one but always forget or don’t have the money to purchase it. Well, last week I splurged…(I know they aren’t that expensive but I’m cheap)…and finally bought one! It takes a little while to get use to… At least it did for me. I usually just flip my head upside down to dry it! Anyway, I love it! LOVE it! My hair has nice volume and is so smooth when I use it. See, my hair is usually wavy if I let it air dry. Not pretty and curly, but ugly wavy. The wavy that is partially wavy and partially straight. Oh, and when I blow dry it, it’s frizzy! Ugh! I usually have to follow drying it with straightening it and it’s terrible for your hair! Why not knock it out all at one time??!! YAY!! 

Do you have one of these brushes? Do you love it as much as I do? How long did it take you to get use to it?

Don’t forget to enter my accessory giveaway. 🙂

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer Review

For those of you wanting an awesome concealer for dark under eye circles…here’s the stuff.

To be honest, I got this stuff because I saw it in one of Leighannsays youtube videos seen here. She always suggests awesome stuff, so once while in Ulta…(my first visit I might add), I saw it and purchased it right away. It was reasonably priced ($8.99), considering crappy concealers can cost you around $5. I was a little confused on how to use it at first. You have to twist the maroon part a lot before stuff actually comes out….but once it does, you will be in love! I’ve already suggested this to my friends and family and don’t plan on trying anything else for a while. It covers really well and also helps to brighten the eye area, minimizing the appearance of dark circles. The consistency is nice and not cakey too. The color I chose is light pale…because for under eye circles, you’re always suppose to pick a color that is a couple shades lighter than your foundation. I may have went a smidge bit too light but you girls know how they don’t give you many shades to chose from and to me, a lighter shade makes my eyes feel “brighter”.

So ignore the newly placed hardware on my teeth…(yes I know I look 12)…and just focus on the finished product with this concealer. You get the idea of what I mean by “brighter”…hopefully???

Have you tried this product?!? What’s your opinion on it?

❤ Amy

Ipsy vs Birchbox

Tags

birchbox, ipsy, makeup, review, youtube

So I was on Youtube today and some how got sucked into watching makeup tutorials. I always end up watching girly stuff like this. Ipsy and Birchbox were mentioned in a few I saw and after a little research, I talked myself into signing up for both sites….4-5 cool samples for only 10 bucks a month??…Hell yeah, I’m there! First, I started with Ipsy. I signed up only to find out there is a waiting list and I can’t get their glam bags until someone cancels. (sob**)…Maybe better luck with the Birchbox?? Nope… Signed up there and had the same results. How am I going to start posting videos on my Youtube channel if I don’t have anything to review?!! Someone needs to cancel…Like NOW! (smile)
