  • Jesse's Girl Brown Sugar Pure Pigment Eye Dust $4.99
    • First of the sample size is AWESOME for not being "full size". The pigment and formula is great for its price! See swatch below.
    • https://www.jessesgirlcosmetics.com/product/pure-pigment-eye-dusts/brown-sugar-436 
  • Cailyn Pure Lust Extreme Matte Tint in Narcissist (full size) $19
    • Love this tint! It last a good while and looks great under lipstick helping it stay longer. I have used this alone though! See swatch below.
    • http://www.cailyncosmetics.com/LIP/LIP-TINT/ART-TOUCH-EXTREM-MATT-TINT 
  • It Cosmetics CC+ Cream $38
    • OMG!!!! I raved about this before and I'll rave again! My favorite CC Cream by far! So much so that I bought it full size. Plays the roll of a color correcter, concealer, foundation and more. See swatch below.
    •  http://www.itcosmetics.com/your-skin-but-bettertm-cc-cream-with-spf-50 
  •  Briogeo Rosarco Milk Leave-in Conditioner $20 
    • I was sad when this sample was all used up. I love the way it felt on my hair and how my hair felt after using it. I may need buy this if another good sample doesn't come around soon! 
    • https://www.briogeohair.com/product/rosarco-milk/
  •  Eylure Naturals Lashes (full size) $4.95
    • I don't know if you can go wrong with false lashes. These were good and I got a couple uses out of them. Perfect for a subtle natural look.

Great Glam Bag Ipsy!

Ipsy Glam Bag April: Beauty Products Review

It's time for my April Ipsy Glam Bag Review! After some time to review here are my opinions on the products I received in April.

If you haven't seen my my unbagging check it out below:


Want a Ipsy Glam Bag of your own? Use my referral link!



  • Starlooks Lipgloss | $13
    • I liked the soft color, but found it a bit sticky. Maybe I got a bad one cause everyone seemed to love this. It was just "eh" for me. :/ (Swatch below)
    • http://starlooks.com/collections/lips/products/lip-gloss 
  • Nude Dude Palette from The Balm | $36
    • Love this color and the pigment is great. Such a perfect shade for summer time! (Swatch below)
    • http://www.thebalm.com/nude-dude.html
  • Hey Honey Facial Serum | $41
    • I enjoy the feel and formula of this product. Smooth and soft on the skin. Works great as a primer as well. I do find it too pricey. You can get something just as good (or better) for a more affordable price. 
    • http://www.heyhoney.com/good-morning-honey-silk-facial-serum/
  • Harvey Prince Jor'el Parker Femina Perfume | $21
    • I'm not big on perfumes, this has a nice fragrance and is a good throw in your purse item. Would I run to the store and buy it? No. 
    • http://harveyprince.com/index.php/jorel-parker/femina-mini-roller-edp.html#.VS5f2ZM70qg
  • Hikari Blush in Tango | $15
    • Um.... LOVE THIS! I probably wouldn't spend this much on blush unless I was on a "splurge" high, but loved this shade and pigment! (Swatch below)

CVS Beauty Haul: More ExtraBucks MEGA Savings!

Guys, THIS IS AWESOME!!!! Have I ever told you how much I love CVS and their ExtraBucks (EB) Reward Program? Well I do! So yesterday I shared with you a mini Beauty Haul at CVS and mentioned the deals I was going back for... Well here they are! Again, this is all done with EB and a CVS gift card I had for $10 from a really old haul (I completely forgot I had this!) I did some time back from their Buy $30, Get $10 promo. I did 4 separate transactions with 2 different ExtraCare Cards (ECC). Here we go!

Here are the deals I took advantage of from this weeks CVS ad:





Purchased:


Transaction #1, ECC #1

  • Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice | $2.19
  • MUA Professional Mineral Brush | $15.50
    • Grand Sub Total: $17.69
    • Used: $17.00 EB (from yesterday's haul!)

    • OOP (w/ tax): $4.74 ($1.18 an item people!!!)
    • At Check Out: $3.00 EB (Normally I would have keep this for next time since its connected to your ECC number. Then guy didn't realize for my next transactions I would be using my other ECC and approved the $3 EB to be used towards my other card! Sweet! FYI It doesn't always work out that way.)

Transaction #3, ECC #2

  • Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Eye Shadow | $12.49
