Glam Bag Ipsy Fun for Feb.


So it’s that time again ! 
It’s a new month and a new Glam Bag from Ipsy
This post is way late, Sorry I haven't been doing so well and I have not had the energy to post or do anything but sleep, but with that said  i have had plenty of time to try some of these  products out .
I am so excited to say that I love this bag it’s one of the cutest thing so far . It looks like a pixel print black and white envelope with a pink heart in the middle the other side is a hot pink color .. so cute and so fun ...

 The products that were in my bag were not that bad, again brands i have heard of and some the first  time .
Let’s get into this …. 
1st product is a Full size -  Small Tapered Blending brush 231- from the brand LUXIE.  This sells for $12.00 on  there website which can be found here http://www.luxiebeauty.com/ 
It is a really amazing brush and it works great with my hooded eyes it really gets into the crease on the outer V and packs in the color ...I would definitely look into purchasing more from this brand 

2nd product is from The brand SmashBox - it’s a trial size of photo finish primer oil a full size of 1fl oz. sells for $42.00  
 I have heard some amazing stuff from this brand But have never personally tried it.
The way I have been using it is mixing 2 drops into my foundation  and apply together.
It does make the makeup last longer and application goes on smooth and easy to blend . 
But as far as the price tag I can't see paying that much for a primer oil when there are drugstore brands that work just as well. 

3rd product is a  full size carrot +rose  hydrating cream  from the brand Seraphine botanicals- website  found here http://seraphinebotanicals.com/ this sells for $19.00 for a 30 ml/ 1.1 fl oz This is a Vegan.GMO and gluten free and 100 cruelty free . 
It smells good in the tube but after i put it on it has a stinky after smell . I am not sure if this is mixing with my oils in my body due to all my medicine i take ? It is very hydrating , no greasy feeling but i cant get past the smell .. Probably not something i would purchase . But i will continue to try it . This can be used anywhere on the body including the face 

4th product was a mica shadow pigment  this is a full size product 
I think. 
It's .05 oz 1.5 gm and sells for $14.99 from the brand Naked Cosmetics website is here http://www.nakedcos.com/Sierra-Nevada-02_p_123.html 
 Its number 02 in the Sierra-Nevada collection which starts with a base Opal Iridescence then  mixed with browns, golds and can be added to any color for a gorgeous shimmery effect.  
  This would be a pretty eye lid color . I have not tried this yet but can't wait ..

5th product is a Lip Pencil from the Brand CHELLA - This lip pencil in passionate pink sells for $18.00 .The website can be found here  https://www.chella.com/lipstick/passionate-pink-moisturizing-lipstick-pencil 
I do like that this pencil goes on like butter .It's lasting power is okay . I do have to reapply again through out the day and this is me just laying in bed so probably  not a great review . It does transfer with eating and drinking . Still I would purchase from this brand again.

Here are the swatches

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 ...
