Ipsy Tipsy

For the past 11 months I have been receiving my monthly glam bag from Ipsy.  I bought  a one year subscription because who doesn't want beauty goodies delivered to their house every month? I do. I had heard of the Ipsy and thought I would give it a try.

Every time I spied a shiny pink package in the mail I knew my ipsy bag had arrived. I was excited. I loved opening them to see the pretty bags and all the beauty products I had received.  At first I was curious about what I was going to get each month but as the year went on my excitement for the bag fell faster than over sprayed hair on a humid day.

The bags become predictable. Every month I knew  I was going receive the following: Nude lipstick or chapstick, Nude eye shadow, facial cleanser, or an eye pencil. Now don't get me wrong I like a little nude colored beauty products but my gosh not every single product needs to be Nude!! Lets have some variety here! My cynical soul needs color too!

Were they trying to subtly hint at something by sending a facial cleanser in every bag? Do they think I never wash my face?  Every month I have received some form of a facial cleanser or wipes. I end up giving most of them away. Don't get me wrong facial cleansing is important... but there are other beauty products besides facial cleansers. Lets widen our horizons Ipsy. I mean we have beautiful eye shadow, flawless foundation,  hauntingly dramatic eye liner, and so many other magical things in the beauty world but yet you choose to send face wash every single time...

Its not that I haven't gotten any good things. I have gotten some products I've loved, but I don't think the subscription is worth it anymore. So after I receive my last bag I will be canceling my subscription. I have decided to move on to BirchBox. I have heard good things about them and the boxes look so cute!

This month's Ipsy bag. I actually really like it. I mean its says what we are all thinking, Makeup is important. I am definitely going to use this bag just maybe not the products inside.

Well my divas that is all I have for today.

Queen Diva out.

Ipsy Bag

Hello Divas! How are you today? I am feeling pretty swazzy today. I thought for this blog post I would share what I got in this month's Ipsy bag. If you have never heard of Ipsy let me enlighten you in the world of glam bags. For only $10 month or $110 a year you can sign up to have Ipsy send you a glam bag containing 4-5 beauty products. The products in the bag are normally valued 40-60 dollars. Its a great way to try out new products and get variety in your collection. Its wonderful! I love it. 

This month's bag was themed Street Style.

This the the Crown C476 Crease/Shadow brush. The fibers of the brush are very soft. The price of this brush is $17.50

This is the Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss. The shade is Love Affair. In the picture it looks pinky, but I promise you its red. I couldn't get the lighting right. The price of the lipgloss $19. 

This is the Pacifica eyeliner in Gun Metal. I haven't used it yet but I've been looking for a silver/charcoal color eye liner. The price of the eyeliner is 10.99.

 

This is the Mitchell and Peach Luxury hand Cream.It has a strong herbal scent to it. I have only used it once so far, but it feels very moisturizing. The price of this cream (full size) is 17 pounds 

(which is 27 dollars I think..)

This is Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Facial Cleanser with Cucumber and Watercress. It says that it is fragrance free. So for those of you that can't handle or don't like fragrances this could work for you.  The price of this is $ 13.99.

    So my Ladies if you are considering signing up for Ipsy hopefully this blog helped you decide. I haven't had a chance to use everything yet since I just received it. I plan on getting back to you on the reviews on everything. But till next time my Lovelies.. Queen Diva out.
                                                  Stay Sassy,

Favorite Things

Hellloo Divas!! Today I thought I would make a little post about a few of the things I have been loving lately! Of course there is more things I am loving at the moment, but I just wanted to share only a few.

One of my favorite things without a doubt is my new laptop! Its a Macbook pro with retina display. It's wonderful. I wish everyone used Apple it would make the world so much better. I love the fact that the laptop  is very light weight and extremely portable. The screens graphics area also amazing! The only thing I don't like is the fact it doesn't have a cd drive.. So thats a bummer but overall I love it!
                                                                                     

 

My combat boots!! I love these shoes. I purchased them at Forever 21. (The only thing I have ever purchase from there.)  They make me feel down to business and ready to take on anything. It is wonderful! They have a zipper on the side which makes it easier to get your shoes on and off. The tongue has little tiny silver studs on it. These shoes are pretty comfortable too as long as you wear the right socks because then you might end up with a blister.. not that I'm speaking from experience or anything....ha..ha..ha.

Steve Madden!!!! Oh how I love Steve Madden shoes! These are my favorite. I love them. They're such beautiful shoes. They are suede with little silver diamondy like studs. The suede is a blush color. Its fabulous. I love them. A lot. I don't if I've mentioned that. 

This perfume oh how I love it. You, Elizabeth and James Nirvana in black, are a wonderful fragrance. These scent is a little bit of a musky sophisticated scent. If you like more of a sweeter scent there is a white version thats a bit lighter. The black version isn't too heavy though. (If you mix the two together you get one amazing scent.) The bottle I have is only the travel size in case you were not sure.

Klorane dry Shampoo is a life saver! I love it. I received it in my Ipsy bag and I was excited to try it since at the time I was in desperate need of dry shampoo. I spray it at the roots of my hair and hairline on my neck. It gives life to your hair when you haven't had a chance to wash it. It'll give ya that little oomf your hair needs to look fabulous.

 

 I've started this new thing where every night before I go to bed I make myself a cup of homemade hot coco, lights some candles in my room, and turn on netflix or youtube.. and Ahhhh the relaxing begins. I LOVE candles and having them in your room is just so cozy!  It makes you feel warm and stress free. So if you've had a stressful or busy day take some time and relax with some coco or tea with some candles and netflix, you'll be comfy and rested. 

So my dear Divas if you want to see more posts like this one or have anything you'd like me to talk about just leave a comment. Don't forget to follow and share! Love you. Queen Diva out. 

Stay Beautiful,

Cherry XOXO
