❤ September ipsy Bag ❤ Review

-
Hi Everyone,
 I wanted to share my September ipsy bag with all of you. As you probably know, ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription that is $10 a month where you get five beauty products and you also get a makeup bag that it comes in (steal!). So this month I got Elizabeth Mott Queen of the Fill Tinted Brow Gel, City Color City Chic Lipstick, Octavio Argan Oil, NYX three shadow pallet, and First Aid Beauty (FAB) Ultra Repair Cream.
 The tinted brow gel has a really nice consistency and went on easily. It came in medium-dark which I felt was a little dark for me, but as the day went on I got used to it (I usually use a brow pencil Anastasia Beverly Hills or Chella in Taupe). It keeps a nice hold, but the reason I use a brow pencil is so that I fill in so I can't see my skin under my eyebrows. I personally wouldn't use the brow gel solo since it doesn't color my skin under my eyebrows, but over a pencil I would. If you have really nice full eyebrows where you just want to add a little definition and want hold I would buy this product. *This product is animal cruelty free*
 City Color City Chic Lipstick in shade Je t'aime is a really smooth pigmented lipstick. The shade that ipsy gave me I really liked and is within my "comfort" shade. It has a purple-y undertone, but is a nice mauvey rose color.
 The Octavio Argan oil has a thinner consistency than I am used to and I felt it was watery. It also was not one of my favorite oils to use. I am used to Moroccanoil and I even use OGX, which can be purchased at a drugstore and I find that one to be of better quality. This one also has a scent that I'm not too fond of and it reminds me of baby powder.
The NYX Ipsy Three Shadow palette I absolutely love! The beige and brown shadow have a shimmer to them, but the black one is matte. I use this for a smokey eye look and I get compliments when I wear these shadows. The pigmentation is great and is buildable. This palette is great to carry around or even bring with you on a weekend getaway. The only thing that I felt was needed was a brighter highlighting shade for under the brows, so I just used a shadow that I had.
 Last, but not least the Ultra Repair Cream! I liked to carry this around in my pocketbook for when I need it especially in this time of season (the air is getting drier). I liked the scent of this cream since has a really nice clean scent and it was fast absorbing. I didn't feel that it left my skin feeling oily or slippery.
If you are not a subscriber to ipsy and you love to try new beauty products I would look into becoming a subscriber. I have already got my friends subscribed and it's fun because we compare products and see what different types of things we each received. I think it is definitely is worth the $10 a month just for the products alone, but you also get a cute bag! That's my favorite part. haha ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
What did you get in your ipsy bag? What was your favorite product?
Have you purchased any of these products?

Flamboyage

I had a girl come into my school who had a 2 inch regrowth of level 3 and then the hair shaft was what you see on the left, which since I use Goldwell in my school I matched it to 5NBP (5 Neutral Beige Pearl) or light brown reflecting opal. She wanted a flamboyage which is an ombré with a balayage. So the first step I did was for the regrowth I mixed 60mls of 20 volume and 60 mls of 5NBP (Goldwell uses a 1:1 ratio). I applied it to the regrowth area and let it process for 20 minutes. I then brought the color halfway down the shaft to refresh the color and let that process for about 10 minutes. After rinsing and washing the color away, I had to roughly dry the hair 80-90%. I took horizontal partings in the back and did subsections vertically where I lightly teased and applied BW2 lightener. Slowly as I got to the top most horizontal sections and I started to balayage higher and higher. I did the same thing as I got to the front, but I did diagonal partings toward the face since she wan

Pureology Curl Complete | Product Review

Image
Good Morning! So I just finished my first bottles of Pureology Curl Complete Shampoo and Conditioner. I MUST say that I doubted these products in the beginning. I just didn't think that they'd be comparable or... better than curlyhair specific product lines. Clearly you can't judge a book on it's cover and I was proved wrong immediately. I loved this set! First, I just want to say that this duo lasted me a good two+ months. The price point is higher than average, but it is totally worth it. For a curly girl like me I usually HATE shampoo, but I really liked this one. It didn't make my hair feel dry/brittle after using it and it helped remove product buildup and oils off my scalp. I still have a good amount of shampoo left since I barely need any and it's concentrated so a little goes a long way.  I also loved the conditioner! It hydrates really well and again a little goes a long way. It provides great slip to be able to detangle and makes my hair really so

A Guide for Tinder

Good Morning,  My boyfriend and I were hanging out with our friends a few nights ago and they were all discussing their new Tinder accounts that they recently set up. They were saying how it's a different way of meeting people because you set it up based on age and radius. It's like speed dating, but you don't really get to speak to them. As I was going through their Tinder with them and hitting "like" and "dislike" and the rare "super like" which you only get once a day if you don't pay for it, it felt like a game. As a girl who doesn't have a Tinder who is looking at other girl's Tinder with my guy friends and knowing what they are looking for I felt there was a need for a general guide, especially since there are fake accounts on there! Picture Guidelines : 1. A good selfie. 2. An entire picture of you dressed well. (casual or formal, it doesn't matter) 3. You with your friends or family. 4. You being active o
