I found this YouTube video on uses for this very useful. It's linked here.

I was lucky enough to receive this for free to try through Influenster. It some trial and error to figure out how to use it. My advice is to look up youtube videos on how to best use it. The one that I found is linked above. After that it worked pretty well. Still not foolproof as it can disturb your foundation under it. It is not a primer!!! Do not try and put your foundation over it. It will not look good. It clings like nothing else. 

For best results, I put a small (less than pea-size) amount on the back of my hand and warmed it up and then I dabbed it where you wish to put it. If I rubbed it disturbed my foundation. It worked very well with Revlon Colorstay but NOT with Covergirl Luminous foundation. It definitely blurred out pores and fine lines and loved the look it gave. It also worked well under my eyes. It gave a soft, powdery feel to the skin. If I use it more I feel like I would get the routine of it down better, but right now I can only use it when I am not in a rush and have a little more time to work with my makeup. 

It also works really well if you're someone who doesn't always wear or need to wear foundation. It makes bare skin look perfected! It also will keep you looking matte through the day.

NYC's NEW Smooch Proof Lip Stains

...so the names are only on the packaging, and not on the tubes themselves. The most nude one, I rememeber was "On Everybody's Lips", however, that is not an option on NYC's website. I'm all sorts of confused.

The darker colors stain better. The fuchsia color was still on my lips when I woke up. Yes, I did the overnight test. The others don't last as long but that's okay with me.

I did not get a few of them , but I am going to pick them up next time I'm at CVS.

I paid $2.99 each!

They have a very strong fruit punch smell that lingers for a bit. They taste yummy (sweet) and the color can be built up.

They're slightly drying, but you can expect that with a lip stain. I apply lip balm over top when this happens with no issues.

I will post lip swatch pictures when my lips are in better condition.

Blush Mystery Beauty Box - February 2014

I don't know what urged me to sign up for a $26.51 mystery box...but I did. I knew what I would be getting this month since I had been looking at videos and blogs and that was part of what made me sign up. I also like to make sure that I am getting what I am paying for. I think the other thing was that I also used to get Birchbox for $10 and Beauty Army for $12. So I had at one point been spending pretty much the same amount, but on 2 different subscriptions services. I contemplated Glossybox, but I saw it was hit or miss on the value. This one seemed worth it every month so far.

I have high standards now.

But I already cannot wait for next month.

"19 Reasons" Theme

I think I missed the reasoning behind this theme. I believe it has something to do with the typical "New Year, New You". This is what I received:

Ipsy - September 2013 - First Impressions & Review

I'm back!!

I decided to rejoin Ipsy after seeing what they had been doing since I was last getting their monthly subscription bag. When I last received one they were still going by MyGlam. They have since switched to the name "Ipsy". They're still $10 a month. But they've also started utilizing their "quiz" or survey to help customize each person's bag each month. I don't know how well that is going just yet...but I'll explain that when it comes to one of the products.






This is what the bag looked like this month. I find it super cute. The inside isn't lined but that's okay. I've been using it inside my purse as a little bag to keep my money and important things in. I've also kept the eyeliner and mascara in it just incase I need one of them during the day.
