Ipsy and Coastal Scents !


More and more companies are coming out with makeup  brushes, some are ridiculously priced and some are great budget friendly pieces to build up or add to your collection.
I recently found this amazing set and travel case from Coastal Scents.  
I am subscribed to Ipsy which is a $10 a month subscription service. 
This gives you 4-5 items in some cute little bags. 
You basically take a few minutes to do a survey about what you like and then they personalize products for you. 
Some of the times it includes Full size items mixed in with samples.
Now the other thing that is cool about Ipsy is that the brands and companies give amazing discounts on the products that are included in all the different Ipsy bags so you can try almost everything if you want. 
The other awesome thing is when you review and share you get points.
 (now this point system is reasonable not like other brands where you have to get a ridiculous amount before you can get anything.) 
For example you earn 100 points and you can turn that in for a reward that you choose from a list. Some products are amazing and some are ok so you have the choice to spend them or save  and they do not expire unless you cancel.
So the break down 
+10 – Sharing your March glam bag excitement before you receive it, product sharing etc. 
+5 and up -review on the product  
+250 points if someone signs up with your code 
Etc.
See not a bad way to get free stuff. 
Back to offers-
So on the web site now Ipsy has this offer an
 8 product palette .5 oz. 
 From the brand *Manna Kadar Cosmetics 
(I have no idea what this company is but it’s a nice way to branch out and try new things)

Now this palette has 6 eyeshadows, 1 highlighting powder
1 multipress powder. 
 For only $14.00 the value is of $39.00 so that is a 64% discount.
Now for a Brand offer – ColourPop Cosmetics – I love this brand and own a bit from them and they are budget friendly priced .

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 up picking up a few products to try .  The brand I am talking about  is @

Dec. Ipsy Bag review

Let me start by saying that I hope your Holidays were filled with Joy and Love.  Mine was a bit crazy but life is with 5 kids. **If you follow me on social media you will also know that My Husband's mother passed away It's been tough and Lonnie is Grieving in his own way My kids are okay because they know that she isn't in any more pain.  They have wonderful memories to hold on to so they will never forget her. Her ashes will be spread around a mountain area with horses That was her passion! This won't happen until May or June so it made christmas a bit rough . But we made it through. The bag for the month was super cute with a splash of mint & silver and some sparkle.          it definitely reminds me of winter. The theme for the month was Snow Globe- What does December beauty look like for you?
