New Year Sephora Play! Box

Image
**Bought It** The first Play! Box of the new year from Sephora! I was so excited to see what products I could be buying with all of my Christmas Sephora gift cards. For me, this box was just average. I was not super excited about any of these products and I did not get a fragrance which is ok, and this sounds strange, but I look forward to my little fragrance sample each month. It gives me a peek into the news smells and I actually do buy full size from a lot of the bags I get. So bummer for that! LANCOME CILS BOOSTER XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base I actually have this product already and use it when I am going to for an all night look. I have used other mascara primers and this one is on par. My lashes are long to begin with so I usually don't need to pry them out to begin with. Using this product allows me to use less mascara to plump and add that extra length. I usually just add one or two coats of regular mascara mostly for color since the base already did the l...

Sephora Play! December Box

Image
**Bought It** I know, I know! I'm a little late with this post, but I am so excited about this bag! The theme of December Play! Box is Glam Straight. It's all about getting ready for that holiday party or any party! Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Prism Cream There are pure 24K gold flecks in this cream that allows for an amazing glow! Lift & Firm Prism Cream includes such great ingredients as hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil to help with that lifting and firming. The reason I am loving this product: it can be used on top of or underneath makeup. It's a dual highlighter that improves your skin.  Smashbox Cover Shot Eye Shadow Duo in Golden Hour I am loving all over these colors. Both are warm, shimmery, highly pigmented shades. I love any kind of earthy tones. Just about every palette I use consists of these types of colors. I can't help it! I love neutrals! I am also in love with this little sample size. It's perfect ...

Sephora Play! Box Lipstix and Chill The Cool Cut

Image
**Bought It** So, I had a little hiccup with my box this month because I had to get a new credit card and I forgot to add it to this subscription. Of course, I got it late. In this case, late is better than never!!  As I have said before, I love the Pay! Box. It really has the best brands and the perfect sample sizes.  I have bought more things from my Sephora Play! Box than any other subscription boxes. I'm so glad they started doing this! They are making a lot of money from my wallet!    Madame CJ Walker Beauty Culture Coconut Oil I am not so much a fan of oils because I am such an oily person. lol I know they are supposed to work the same way with oily skin, but I would rather avoid it. This has a pleasant smell and I can always use my oils for my nails and ends of hair but, like I said, I try to avoid my face. This does smell fantastic and you will love it if you are a coconut person. This is $26 for a full size bottle.  ...

May Ipsy Bag

Image
**Affiliate Links** This months (ok, technically last month) Ipsy Glam Bag was another great bag! I am still counting down until I get another eyeliner, but I can't complain about the last 2 months! If you are interested in getting your own Glam Bag, follow this link and you can sign up! First up is the Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow Trio . This is a beautiful shimmering eyeshadow that can also double as a highlighter. Crush, Skinny Dip and Lovely are the three pigment packed shades that make up this trio. I have also been rocking Crush as a highlighter. I love that these build for the ultimate glitz. You can get 20% off by using IPSY2016 at your checkout. I am lucky enough to have a brush from Vera Mona in my bag. This smudger brush has short, soft and firm bristles to help create the perfect smokey eye! I love the purple and black colors of the brush and how the bristles feel. Everything is nice and sturdy on the handle and I love how it smudges. ...

February Ipsy Glam Bag and My Little Smashbox Tift

Image
**Affiliate Links** This month's Ipsy Glam Bag is one of the best I've had in a long time. You know that I am still not 100% happy but for $10 I can't really complain that much! See below for all of the goodies I got and if you want in on this, join here . Josie Maran Cosmetics- Argan Enlightenment Iluminizing Wand THIS is by far one of my favorite products from Ipsy- ever! I am in love with the packaging, the products and the brand. This is loaded with Argan oil and shea butter for a soft, smooth application. This is perfect for on-the-go highlighting and touch-up. Get 20% your purchase using IPSYJMC Chella- Lipstick Pencil I love ALL the Chella products and this one is no different.

Image
**Affiliate Link**  THIS is my bag for November. Guess what I don't have this month.... eyeliner! Wahoo! I actually really like this bag. I have a lot for the face and 1 hair product. The bag is super cute, too! Read on for more details... Luxie Beauty Matte Eye Shadow  Pan no. 920  This shade is Aubergine and is infused with Vitamin C and E. This is perfect for that smokey look when dabbed in the crease. I actually used this when I went out this past weekend. I love the formula and the color in this beauty. You can get 30% by using IPSY30!  Model Co. Highlighting Trio  This trio comes with Champagne, Peach Bellini and Bronze Shimmer. This is a creamy formula- which I love and hate at the same time.

You can get 20% off plus free shipping on orders over $39.  Benefit Cosmetics- Gimmie Brow ...
