Curly Girl Journey

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 ...

Good Evening Everyone,     I kept hearing rave reviews on these two Maybelline products, The Nudes and Master Conceal, so I decided to try them out. The Nudes pallet I paid I believe around $11 for it and for the most part the shadows are pretty pigmented. The light colors seemed to not highlight as much as I would have liked them to, but I also feel that since I have very fair skin that I understand why they didn't work out well. On the other hand, the darker colors (75% of the pallet), were pigmented and build able. It worked perfect for an everyday go to pallet for some neutral shades just to make the lids pop a little and then if I wanted to create a smokey eye in the evening it worked well too! I feel that this product is worth the $11, especially for someone who wants to start applying eyeshadow, recreate smokey eye looks, and/or for key neutral shades.    The Master Conceal in the shade 20-Light worked really well. I felt that it covered my dark ci...

     The past few days left of my makeup mod we were able to practice avant-garde makeup. Avant-garde is new and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them. I must say I had so much fun with this makeup style! I did my friend's makeup (top picture) where my inspiration was the lips. She did myself (lower picture) and her inspiration was the cheshire cat. 

I can't believe that this is true. I am a sharp angled curved top! I never used to be a big lipstick wearer, but ever since I started school I have been using it a lot more. The lipstick that I received in my ipsy bag is currently my favorite one, it's by NYX Cosmetics in the shade "Pops". It goes on so smoothly and makes my lips feel soft. Since I am kind of a noob at lipsticks, if you have any recommendations I'd be open to it. Let me know what your lipstick personality is and what is currently your favorite lipstick!
