12/11/2019 0 Comments My Collection NYX Lip LingerieNYX is a brand that has been in heavy rotation on my face and makeup counter for years now. Everything from primers to setting sprays to lipsticks and highlight/contour palettes. My introduction to most of the products that are second nature to me now, came from NYX Cosmetics. I find their products are amazing and I don't know how they do it at that price point. It's insane. I loved their Soft Matte Lip Cream but, it didn't last all day. The Liquid Suede line- again, beautifully pigmented but, not super long-lasting. And then came the Lip Lingerie. I remember these dropping around the same time as the Kylie Cosmetics lip kits. I have always considered them an amazing dupe (I mean even the writing on the bottle is similar.) So- before ever spending 30 bucks on a lipkit, I opted for the under 10 dollar lip lingerie and I was sold! My collection has grown to 10 shades and I love it. These tubes dry down to a lovely matte shade and it stays put ALL day- honestly they are a little hard to remove (The NYX eye and lip makeup remover does a great job of taking it off.). I love the sexy little names too including "Honeymoon" and "French Maid". Since releasing this line, it's grown from just mattes to include glosses, metallics and even eye makeup "lid lingerie" so cute! My last "My Collection" video was in fact the Kylie Lipkits. This one I did because, while I know that the world really doesn't need another swatch video, it's hard to find every shade represented on-line. So- here we go. Glam Track: Take a DayTrip- "Louis (feat. Jesse)" Shades swatched (in order)

So guys, I know that this may come as a bit of a shock to you but, this post is a little bit late. Thankfully though, ipsy has been on a great streak where there bags aren't too theme-y. December was a festive array of beautiful products all kept in a gorgeous glimmery glamorous gold bag. And something else different about this bag is that ipsy decided to show some love to their subscribers, aka ipsters, by giving us an extra gift. It was a really good month. I've been an ipster for a few years and haven't once regretted it. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely good and bad months but, over all I've gotten beautiful things and gotten the opportunity to test out and discover new brands with them. This was the final bag of 2018 and it didn't disappoint. So- let's get into it but, again I want to review a few things about ipsy's subscription service- which I love.
First aid beauty - Facial radiance pads Normally, ipsy does send makeup as well as make up brushes but- they also send skin care items. As a matter of fact, some of the best facial cleansers and moisturizers I've ever used have come from ipsy. I haven't really had my mind blown by any of their masks but, in all fairness, I'm a pretty damn good shopper as far as that's concerned. In December, I received another amazing face product from them- I got a set of "Facial Radiance Pads" from the world renown line "First-Aid Beauty". Let's just get straight to it. I LOVE these little pads. They are textured on one side which make them a great exfoliator, they are cool to the touch and really open up your pores. A good way to look at it, would be to think of it as a "toner pad". It goes just a little bit deeper than your regular cleanser and according to the directions- it doesn't need to be rinsed off. For me, I really like to use them before bed. I find that it really gave my face a beautiful and healthy glow. After, using them in this video, I've put them on the side of my bathroom sink and they haven't moved since. I've gotten a few items of this brand from ipsy and this one obviously another hit. So, just digging around their website, I found that they offer this full sized product in two different sizes. You can get the smaller size 28 pads for 16 dollars or you can get the larger version, which features a whopping 60 pads for 32 dollars. Both are a pretty good price considering that it's probably best to use them daily. To help ease some of the financial pain their website offers free shipping on orders over 25 bucks and if you sign up for the email list you can also get an additional 15% off of your first order. Check it out for yourself right here Facial Radiance Pads Sugar cosmetics- arch arrival brow definer in taupe tom I had never heard of this brand before but, Sugar Cosmetics sent over an arch arrival brow definer in the shade Taupe Tom. Taupe Tom is a shade that their website identifies as "Grey Brown" and now it ALL makes sense. This is what my biggest issue has been with eye brow pencils for quite some time now. I have ALWAYS found, and you guys have heard me say this multiple times on here and in my videos, that I hate that my brows always seem to have a grey tint to it. I must say, I am very excited to discover that I am not crazy, they literally have grey IN the color. So as was my issue with so many brow products that I've gotten from ipsy, this is the main problem that I have with "Arch Arrival". A few more issues I have- and I very rarely complain about anything like this- it's such a stupid name! "Arch Arrival"? What does that even mean. My final issue with this product is the actual shape of the product. It's a twist up pencil, what I mean by that is you do not have to sharpen in. You twist it up and then can apply it. Once it's twisted up though, it's not very sharp even though it is shaped like a triangle and seems as though it should make a straight line and/or a sharp enough point but for some reason, it does not. I like a really really sharp point at the end of my brow and it didn't- I had to do so much cleaning up- it was tough. It does have some redeeming qualities too. The packaging is very sleek and chic. I like that it's simple and it reminds me of a Chanel style packaging. Another thing that I like is that for a sample size, it's pretty big! There was also another big plus with this- it's double sided, which I think is pretty cool. It has the product (color, pomade, brow pencil) on one side and on the other side, a spoolie. A spoolie that allows you to comb out your brows and can fade them in and out with the brows. I really think THAT is a good thing and I wish that more companies would do that as well. This product is a pretty inexpensive product clocking in at 12.99 and again, that's for the product and if you order it online you can get free shipping. Their free shipping threshold is only 10 bucks. That's one of the lowest that I've ever heard of. This wasn't one of my favorite products but, it's hard for me to be impressed by eye brow products. You can check these out on your own right here - Sugar Cosmetics Arch Arrival TheBalm Cosmetics- Take home the bronze in greg Bronzers are one of my favorite things. I love to warm up my complexion with a nice toasty bronzer. A lot of people like it for the Summer and the Spring, when everyone wants to be a pretty healthy golden shade. However, I like to have that glow ALL YEAR round. I seem to run into an issue though. My skin tone. So- first let me start by saying that, I LOVE my skin tone- most of my family and I have an almost golden/tan skin tone. I look like I'm always wearing a bronzer. I always get excited when I get a bronzer in my ipsy bag. This one is from TheBalm Cosmetics. I've gotten a few of products from this brand from ipsy and as far as I can remember, I haven't been this appointment. Last month they sent me a liquid highlighter and I love it. I mentioned last week about how I've been finding so many good bronzers especially in different ipsy bags. This one was no exception. This month, I received the "Take Home the Bronze" anti-orange Bronzer in the shade "Greg". I HATE having an orange bronzer and I honestly don't really care for a glittery one either. I like all of my shimmer to be in blinding highlight, I don't need to be running around town looking like a disco ball, right? As a matter of fact, I went to TJ Maxx and came so close (like inches) to buying a too faced "Peach Bronze" Bronzer and yes, it was a great deal but, I just have so many great ones, I just don't really have time to put it into my bronzer rotataion. So- my faves right now, Chocolate Solie by Too Faced, Dew the Hoolah by Benefit and this lovely "Take home the Bronze" from TheBalm. This is a BIG deal because of the fact that I NEVER EVER put bronzers in the company on those two. That my friend is a big deal. Here's why I did. First off, the "anti-orange" thing. I don't know how but, it's not a fake tan orange color- it's more of a pretty soft natural looking toasted brown. Also, it's a matte bronzer. No glitter, no shine. But a beautiful bronzer that can make your skin look like you've been on the beach ALL day and just got a healthy glow. It can be used as powder contour or just to warm up your complexion. Another thing that I like about it is the formula. I'm not sure how but, when using my contour brush, it picked up just enough, It wasn't too much where I had to brush it off and I also didn't have to keep packing it on. The full-sized version will cost you 17.50 but and comes with a mirror. They also have two other shades so that you can find one for any shade. It's called take home the bronze but honey, Greg gets a gold in my book. Check it out for yourself right here. - Take home the Bronze - #TheBalmers Finding Ferdinand- Blush in "Skinny Dip" I personally had never heard of the brand "Finding Ferdinand" until receiving this blush in my ipsy bag so, before I wrote this post I went in and did some research. In my video, you see me open this really cool little medical looking bag (I said that it reminded me of the KKW beauty line)- it was just a tiny little pan in a bag though. Not like TheBalm products come, or OFRA, or smashbox but, after looking into I see why. Finding Ferdinand is all about personalization and customization. Their big thing is customizable palettes. While I have some issues with that, for the most part it's a good thing. So, that being said, this little pan is meant to be put into your own palette. Now, to the actual blush itself. "Skinny Dip" is not my usual shade of blush. This blush is a much cooler tone. It's like a cool tone mauve color- I'm much more of a warm tone golden/honey blush type of girl and I must say, ipsy has been sending A LOT of blushes lately- I think the last three bags have had them. Although it's not really my idea shade, I will say it's so transparent that honestly, it doesn't even matter. I mean- it's SO transparent that I can't even tell you if it's matter or shimmer. It's just a nice clean healthy flush of color. If you are a person who is a little gun shy when it comes to blush, this might be a good one for you to try because it's so sheer. Something I like about it though, is the formula- it's a very plush almost creamy type of blush- I like it. I don't love it but- I like it. I really like the idea behind the brand "Finding Ferdinand" though- like imagine using a palette where you use EVERY color to the pan because you hand selected them. Anyways you can check the brand out as well as this particular product right here Skinny Dip blush. The pan of blush will run you 14 bucks and there are a few different options for palettes to put it in, if you don't already have one like I do, they range anywhere from 10 to 60 dollars. And their website offers free shipping on ALL U.S orders- no minimum purchase. F.A.r.A.H Brushes - Tapered Blending Brush 35 E Make-up looks are complicated. And a lot goes into it. The most important thing is skincare. If you have a terrible canvas to paint on, your work isn't going to come out right now matter how expensive the paint is (that's a BFA student reference for you. I never use that degree). Behind your skincare routine, the tools you use are almost just as important. I take brushes very seriously. Cleaning them, taking good care of them and learning the best way to use them. ipsy has introduced me to a whole new world of brushes. I mean SL Miss Glam- has become quite the staple on my glam station, as has Luxie Beauty. In my December ipsy bag came another one. This time from F.A.R.A.H Brushes, again a brand that I had never heard of until using ipsy. Let's discuss this tapered blending brush. First off- the esthetics of it (another BFA word). This brush is so beautiful to look at. It's like a little sculpture. It's faceted and catches the light beautifully on it's luxe foil gold color- I mean, it legit looks like a piece of jewelry. But, looks aren't everything, does it work? It is such an amazing blending brush. I tested it out on an eye look but, I'm pretty sure that it could be used for anything. I think that the next time I use it, I'm going to try applying a blinding highlight with it. Just for a pretty pop of color. It's fanned out at the end and the stem of it is so long that you can use it as with your hand at the bottom of it to cover larger areas at once or you can hold the top of it (closer to the bristles), which is what I call choking up on it, to get more direct and to blend out in one particular area and have more control over it. I'm digging around their website and I must say, I love their vibe of class and elegance. This brush comes in a a few different variations, all of which are beautiful. The one that I received is part of the "Gold Collection" and it retails for 10 dollars. This one is pretty inexpensive, especially for a brush that's so useful but, I warn you if you start shopping around on there, some of their stuff is a little bit pricey. You can check out this particular brush here- Gold Collection 35E. Free shipping on orders over 30 dollars on their website. Half-Caked Lip Fondant in power trip I hope you are sitting while reading this because I'm about to shock you...my favorite product in this ipsy back is a matte liquid lipstick. I know, I know. I'm going to give you a second to catch your breath before I continue. So, I the only thing that can make a matte liquid lipstick better is one that is based off of food or are themed around food. So, when I saw the sprinkle writing and a half-eaten doughnut? I was all about it. Tis brand "Half-Caked" is all about fun, whimsy, and being delicious but, even though it does have all of those aspects- they didn't come to play. When I went to their company website to try to get the best deals to tell you guys about, I spent another half hour on there just shopping around. Their lip products look so beautiful! I was sent the shade "power trip" in the lip fondant which retails for 16 dollars. They are currently running a Valentines day sale where you can get up to 70% off of certain shades so- you know me, I had to look. If I had some extra cash and didn't already own 100 matte liquid lipsticks, I would have probably bought about 10 products, 5 mattes (Lip Fondant) and 5 glosses (Frosted Sugar). The shades are so beautiful- the brows, the reds, the nudes?! I mean dude. But, back to the matter at hand. I LOVE this lipstick and again, I have so many different kinds, from my ex, Kylie to Smashbox, Dose of Colors, MAC and Anastasia Beverly Hills, I've seen so many gorgeous liquid matte lipsticks that it's hard to impress me. This one was pretty good. It smells like cake, it applies like a really light mousse, which is cool because it almost fills in all of those little cracks in your lip to make a very smooth surface. It dried down quickly and lasted for hours. "Power Trip" is a strong brick red that I would classify as a "Bad b*tch" shade. It's powerful and it makes you feel strong. If I have any issue with this product it's the applicator it's shaped a certain way to really grab and contour your lips but, my lips are a little bigger so it didn't exactly fit me that well. Other than that I love it. You can check it out right here Power Trip. Also, free shipping over 30 dollars.
