IPSY-GLAM BAG (May Edition)

Hello Everyone!

First and foremost I would like to say THANK YOU ALL for the Love, Likes and for the Follows. I just noticed I now have 500 friends here in our blog world. I never thought I will have this much followers since I first started in January of this year.

Also, if you noticed I haven’t been posting consistently lately and that is because I was just sooo busy and something happened that prevented me from doing much. (I will post that part later)

Anyway, just yesterday I received my 2nd Glam Bag from Ipsy and I was very excited when I saw the package on our doorstep. So yeah! let me show you what I got. πŸ™‚

The moment I opened the package, I was so happy with the bag itself. Who doesn’t love this bag??HAHA!

So far, I’m impressed.

Now, let’s check out what’s inside..

First item I pulled was this URBAN DECAY 24/7 Glide-On LipPencil. Honestly, this is probably my first Urban Decay product ever. ” yeah.. ever.. πŸ™‚ “

2015-16-5--21-46-50

Prep your lips for Revolution High-Color Lipgloss: Ozone 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil. It applies invisibly, glides on smoothly and grabs on to color to help it last. It also has two sample sizes of their Glossy Shades in Failbait and Bittersweet. (I can’t wait to try them on)

Next item is this Organic Farmaceuticals “Style Me” Roots-to-Ends Hair Oil. I am excited to try this on since I am obsessed with anything hair products. It says for ALL HAIR Types and is enriched with Argan Oil & Pumpkin Oil.

Another item is this NUXE Face Cleansing and Make-Up Removing Gel. Hhmm.. I am not sure whether to give it a try or not.. Again, if you have been following me since day one, you know that I have such a sensitive skin and I get pimples so easily. But you never know?? I might try this.. Just might! πŸ˜›

Another item that I was so happy about is an Eye Shadow.. Or let’s just say an “Eye Dust”. This is the Jesse’s Girl “Pure Pigment Eye Dust” in the shade BROWN SUGAR-80585. I did use this earlier today and so far so good. It’s very pigmented and since it’s in powder form it makes it even easier to blend. “Love-Love”.. ❀

2015-16-5--21-45-38

Last item I got is an eyebrow color.. HHmmmppp.. This I would say ” a waste”. The reason I said this… it’s because I don’t really use eyebrow color or eyebrow pencil. I’ve never used them before and I don’t see myself using them anytime in the future. (not unless something will happen to my eyebrows then I guess I will need to use them for sure..haha)

However, for those who love eyebrow color/pencil then you guys for sure will love this. Chella”Tantalizing Taupe Eyebrow Color” is really beautiful and what’s cool with this is you just have to twist them instead of sharpening it..and you know what?? I might try to use this as an eyeliner?? you think this will work?? yaiks! πŸ˜›

Polish of the Week!πŸ‘

Polish of the Week time!

Just a week ago, I bought another nail polish from Rimmel London (60 seconds) and I couldn’t wait to try them on. Finally it’s time for mani-pedi so now I’m able to wear it.

IMG_1409 If you’re wondering how I clean my nails, I always clean them while I’m in the shower. It’s easier to do it that way while you’re leaving your shampoo or conditioner on your hair then take advantage to clean those nails since it’s soaked and those cuticles are soft. Here’s a link on how I prep my nails. 

IMG_1408

  • My Base Coat is from OPI
  • Nail Polish is from Rimmel London (60 seconds) in the shade Mind The Gap, Victoria #503.
  • Clear Coat is from Rimmel London (60 seconds)
  • Lastly, to clean those mess I have to end the process with my fave Sally HansenNo More MistakesManicure Clean-up Pen.

And voila!!!!

Quick shopping! #Haul

I am so proud of myself as I was able to survive the entire month of April without buying any makeup at all. I may have had few discount coupons emailed to me but I stayed strong and didn’t fall for it. A HUGEΒ Shout Out to my Cyber-Friends for giving me the boost to stay tough. πŸ™‚ (high five you guys!!)

Now, it’s the 2nd day of May and I kind of bought just a few items. The first two items I grabbed is the Revlon ColorBurst – Lacquer Balm. I love these balms so much as they are very hydrating on the lips. I also love how they smell. It’s almost like the smell of a toothpaste as it smells “minty” and they glide on your lips like butter. Continue reading “Quick shopping! #Haul”

My Holy Grail..

The very first lipstick that I’ve been obsessed with was MAC lip products. From the packaging, to it’s quality and most of all their wide range of lipstick shades. There are so many colors to choose from and they are just one of the best lipsticks out there.

Then there came along all the awesome drugstore products that we all love.

However, couple of years ago, I experienced something that no one can explain. Every time I put on lipstick my lips just went insane. They turned so dry, chapped, very flakey with some really really tiny red bumps that felt like sand around my lips or on the lip line (I would say) then they just feel like it’s burning when I put either lipstick or lip balm. It’s was really embarrassing at one point especially when you’re talking to someone. All they see is this very unflattering look on my lips.. (even if I have a photo of my lips during that time, I will never ever show it to anyone) that’s how bad it was..

I’ve tried almost all lip balms out there and even tried some cold sore medications, baby products, nipple cream (yes! you read it right..nipple cream) or anything that will help heal my lips or moisturize them but I had no luck.

I ended up going to my primary care provider hoping that she can recommend a medication to heal my lips. She then recommended that I visit a dermatologist. I went to two dermatologist but none of them helped me with my problem. Both dermatologist said, “it’s just a cold sore” and one said my lips are just too dry but it’s unusual for the weather because normally, dry lips happen during winter. They gave me prescription but it made my problem even worse.

I almost lost hope until I noticed that there’s this product that I felt like I just kept ignoring. You can find it on the checkout counter either at CVS, Walmart or any other drugstore around. I thought maybe it’s still one of those products that is just a waste of time and no positive result. I also thought maybe because it’s so cheap then it might not even be effective. But let’s admit, some cheap products are the ones who have the best result and that’s what convinced me to try this product.

This is the Carmex Original SPF 15 Moisturizing Lip Balm.

IMG_1185IMG_1186If you are suffering from chapped lips or infrequent cold sores, then the Carmex Original SPF 15 Moisturizing Lip Balm Stick is a smart choice. The SPF 15 lip balm was invented by Alfred Woelbing in Milwaukee in the early 1930s . from a variety of natural ingredients. Today, this Carmex Lip Balm Stick, is still formulated with natural ingredients to provide you with relief. This SPF 15 Lip Balm soothes, protects and also heals your lips from cracking and peeling. It is not only a lip moisturizer; it is also contains germ killing menthol and phenol to speed up the healing process. It contains natural ingredients such as beeswax, seed oil, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter to mention just a few. It also has active sunscreen agents to protect your lips from sun damage.

Since I’ve used Carmex, it became a part of my necessities. Β Mind you, I stopped wearing lipstick for I would say at least two years. I had to go to work, talk to people and even attend a party without lipstick. Sometimes when I use lipstick, I had to remove them right away because they feel so uncomfortable on my lips (sad right??…very sad)..

Since then I became very picky when I put on any lip products because I am not getting that lip problem ever again. I also noticed that one major cause of my lips from getting chapped/dry is the MAC lipsticks. I had to get rid of most of my MAC lipsticks because I know they are not good for me even if I use my Carmex before using the lipstick. Luckily there’s more lipstick options out there that I don’t need to buy MAC to have a pretty lips. πŸ™‚

Now, this Carmex (Original Moisturizing) Lip Balm comes with me everywhere I go. I have one at work, in my car, my hubby’s car, my purse, my makeup drawer and an extra pack in case I will lose one. I love this product so much which I am so Grateful and so Thankful that I gave it a try. I can now wear lipstick of my choice and can show my lips with or without lipstick anytime anywhere.

This is the what we call “underdog” lip products out there but this baby saved my lips and what makes it even better is it’s price, very very affordable and I paid $1.59 each.

So yeah! meet my Carmex, my Saviour! πŸ™‚

My First IPSY-Glam Bag!

Let me start over!

I know that I am on the “No-Makeup-Buy” for this month, but I guess this doesn’t count as cheating right?hehe.. I have been thinking of subscribing with IPSY for a while and I was a little bit skeptical at first. I have been reading comments and reviews about this subscription and some wereΒ unhappy because they haven’t received their Glam Bag even though they have been deducted for the subscription. However, I thought for $10.00/mo. and Free Shipping..why not give it a try?? So, I decided to sign up last month (March) and kept my fingers crossed hoping I will get my first IPSY Glam Bag for the month of April on time.

I got SO EXCITED WHEN A PINK EYE-CATCHING bag CAME IN THE MAIL and… Continue reading “My First IPSY-Glam Bag!”
