Ipsy November Reviews

So i have had some time to review the products i got in the November Glam Bag from Ipsy and there are some Hits and Misses I have discovered ….
So lets get into this.. These are my honest opinions and not everyone will feel the same way but this is how the products worked for me ..
I will be rating them with Stars
*****SmashBox Mascara – This was just a small trial size with a lot of product Which is awesome …. I Normally would first use my Go to Base which is Revlon Get up and Grow lash mascara but since I wanted to get a 1st impression I did not . I have Sparse Blonde Non -Existent lashes that point downward so of course I used my lash curler, now upon opening the tube my first impression is The mascara wand is big, Dark Black .. The mascara is a wet formula but it dries fast So You can build up to the perfect coverage . I had to coat my lashes twice . Not only did it darken my blonde lashes but it seemed to get the ones that were hiding . This is great for Volume as well as length No Clumping or Smudging or with so many mascara's i have tried. This one does not Flake I could even use this on my lower lash line and it stayed put .
I will be purchasing a Full size when empty . The price is $20 for a 0.38 oz and it does the job .. This is the look I got with this mascara . It makes my eyes look Huge and my lashes Dark.

***Beaute Basics – Sahara Gold Eye Crayon
Now this is a beautiful color and a very thick crayon my only problem is it smudges . I used this as a eyeshadow base and the inner corner of eyelid to give it a lil pop of color . I found that through the day it did slide right off the inner corner but as far as the eyeshadow i put on top it did last for a couple of hours so not a bad product.
I will use it throughout my makeup looks but i don’t think i would repurchase again .
*****China Glaze Nail Polish – Travel in Colour 20151125_205335-1[1]

(This is what my daughter came up with sorry it's a few days into the polish) - The color is Sally Hansen’s Wine Stock and Travel in Colour which made the nails look Purple .)
Now there isn’t anything bad i could say about this polish brand i am already a china Glaze fan so i love them all . This was a goldish glitter polish that would be great for a top coat on any color .

****Crown Brushes- Pointed crease brush –
This brush is soft and flexible and packs on the shadow right in the crease . It is easy to Blend and with my hooded eyes it is perfect .. The price point is good at $7.43 and works great .
The website for a peek is Crownbrushes.com

Next is a skin Care item
**** LeeAnni Eco- Go Away Gloomy Day – This is a facial serum and what it does is boost the skins healthy glow . It takes the dry dull look of the skin away . The product was nice and cooling and with my sensitive skin and Lupus Rash. The Ingredients are great all Natural it has Rosehip oil for anti-aging ,Photo-aging and scar treatments and Tea Tree oil helps with acne ,psoriasis and eczema. I had to try it out for a few days to see if I had any side effects and none so far But time will tell. Price point is $ 29.98 for a 1.0 fl oz .
A full list of Ingredients can be found on theWebsite Leeanni.com
Overall The products in the bag were good and I am excited to see what next month’s bag has to offer
Thanks for reading and until next time ,
Love ya ,

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there. I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world. It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy. I already am! Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful? It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing. Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see. it's not like anyone would care to be honest. I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch. When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around? I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

Let's talk showers No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down. So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest. I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe. I try to slow down my breathing, a...

ESSENCE MAKEUP REVIEW

Makeup can be high end and really expensive or drugstore and very budget friendly. Just because a drugstore brand is budget friendly doesn't mean it is bad quality. Right? Recently while perusing my local Ulta store with Jayedyn (on the hunt for a blue eye liner ) after looking at all the different brands from Urban Decay, Ulta , Nyx etc. and coming up empty and disappointed we were ready to walk away when i suggested one more look . Tucked away on an end cap of the isle was a small product line. I had never even looked at this brand before but sitting on the shelf was the perfect blue shade of eyeliner that Jayedyn was searching for & on a 15 yr old girls budget too. I started to take a closer look at some of the products . The nail polish is what drew me in, the colors were so pretty, it also looked like there were a few dupes for some high end products as well. I ended ...
