September Ipsy Bag Review

This month's Ipsy bags were a bit on the GLAMAZON side.
            as a matter of fact Lets just say they were 
                          "Too Glam To Give a damn. "
The bag itself  is very GlamaFied. Is that a word ? LOL 
The bag is all  Black  with some Gold details. It  gives it just the right amount of fun . I don't know if you knew but the ladies spell out IPSY ! 

This has been emptied and filled up again and is in rotation in my purse now . So yes you could say I LOVE it.! 

The idea behind this Glam Bag is to Get glammed up just for you . Go all out, High maintenance style, Primpin to the max .
The stylist are +Lynette Cenée +Saythelees and +IAMKARENO 

Talking about Jayedyn's bag first this time- 



*1st product she got was a Sample size  * Trestique Highlighter stick in the shade- Maldives luminescent 

Does this sound familiar? It should because I got this in my bag for the month of July . The sad thing is it arrived broken which is so frustrating. 

*2nd product she received was a sample size of *EVA-NYC -Forget Me knot Dry conditioner -

This is used for detangling, softness and shine . You can use this for all hair types. It doesn't have a strong smell which is good . 
This sells for $14.00 for a 5.1 oz  you can find  this product at Ulta , JCPenney, Kohl's, Target, from what i can i see . Also if you wanted to order it online you could here.

*3rd product was a full size product of -Nail polish from the brand *Ulta3 in the shade -Sizzling Red . 

This sells for $8.24 
The polish itself is pretty but when Jayedybug put it on it chipped.  We will have to try it some more but 1st impression for her she wasn't to happy .  There isn't a whole lot of information about the company that i could see . I know from contact information it is a company from Kuwait.  
You can find this online here.

*4th product is a sample size of *Too Faced - Lip injection extreme. 

This is a clear lip plumper it  sells for $28.00 for a 0.14 Fl Oz 
This has a tingling sensation that last for about 10 mins it is nourishing, hydrating and collagen boosting . It is supposed to plump your lips up to 40% fuller. It also has Marine sponge which adds the appearance of up to 20% more volume .  
I see a subtle change in my lips they look more filled in and fuller . 


 Jayedyn already has beautiful plump lips so it just tingles on her and nothing happens.
I really like the way it makes my lips look .  
You can find this at Ulta, Sephora and online here.

*5th product is a Full size from the brand  *ELF Cosmetics  eye shadow palette in the shade -Smoked to perfection

 this sells for $6.00  it is perfect for a smokey eye .
It has a highlight for the brow bone , a lid, crease and line shadow all labeled so it is perfect for a beginner . The shadows are a bit chalky but you can work with them they wear better than they swatch (especially on my pale skin ) 

 Make sure you use a primer to make the colors last.

That lip stick Tho. Those eyes !  Such a beautiful young lady 



That is everything that she received she really liked everything the nail polish was a bust but she is gonna try it out a bit more before giving up on it .

In my bag I received a lot of awesome products 

The *1st one was a sample size of *IT Cosmetics -SuperHero mascara. 

It sells for $24.00 for a 0.304 fl oz. 
 This is one amazing little sample what it did to my eyelashes was crazy . I was in between getting my eyelash extensions so I had  bare lashes .  I saw Volume, length and thickness on my non existent lashes, they  looked like i had extensions . 


My Lashes 











Nope, it all was the mascara .  If the sample size does this I can justify a full size purchase for future uses. 
The mascara itself is formulated with peptides and proteins, Biotin to strengthen , collagen to plump and it is anti- aging.
You can find this at Ulta , and now in Sephora , online here .
https://www.itcosmetics.com/superhero-elastic-stretch-volumizing-mascara I already love IT Cosmetics so this is a awesome product.


*2nd product was a sample size from the brand *DrG- Daily safe BB Cream in the shade fair SPF30 .

This sells for $32.00 for 45 ml. 
Of course I jumped on my computer to find out the information on the brand itself and this product .
This is what I found out .
* The cosmeceutical brand "Dr.G" was born on the vision of taking care of skin daily .  
* Dr.G (Gowoonsesang) is the founder of the Gowoonsesang Dermatology Networks with 14 branch offices in South Korea his first clinic launched in 1998.
*Skin Mentor Dr.G suggest an effective skin solution and promises to be always with you for healthy & beautiful skin.
* The products are for people who have very sensitive skin issues  like redness, rosacea, prone to irritation and just need something that is gentle enough but still does the job.  
Some of the key Ingredients are 
*Repair Water & Flower Extracts- Boosts Moisture content
*Defense power complex- helps  protect skin from damaging UV rays
*Essential Oils -support cell repair & recovery
After a patch test (of Course ) I tried it out and here are 
my thoughts on the product. It did feel very soft on my skin , it covers blemishes & dark spots. Perfect for the everyday wear when you want just a bit of coverage . I really like the way my skin looked .
I only got to try it out for 4 days before it disappeared so I can't give a full review . It looks like you can purchase it at Target, Nordstroms and online here.
http://dr-g.com/solution/moisturizer-for-sensitive/dr-g-daily-safe-bb-spf-30-pa-exclusive-45-ml.html 
I am going to see if I can find it and repurchase I would like to really try it a bit more.

*3rd product I received was a sample size of *Eva-Nyc- Forget me Knot Dry shampoo 

Just like Jayedyn's 

*4th product was a sample size from the brand *Rodial -  Dragon's blood hyaluronic tonic . 

This is a rehydrating & soothing toner .  This sells online  for $42.00 for a 3.38 fl oz .
http://www.rodial.co.uk/us/skincare/our-ranges/dragons-blood/dragon-s-blood-hyaluronic-tonic-3
About the brand *it was founded by Maria Hatzistefanis in 1999 it is a UK based company.
* It is a High performance skin care line with a celebrity following .
* They pair all anti-aging ingredients with their namesake (Pomegranate Ellagic Tannin) -  natural firming & boosts  collagen production .
*Along with skin care they have Makeup products as well.
* Skin Ranges from Bee Venom, Dragon's Blood, Snake , Super Acids, Pink Diamond, Stem Cell, Super Fit.

The key ingredients in the product are-
* Rose Water- this helps improve tonicity ( muscle tone )  & skin texture 
*Dragon's Blood (from the Croton Lechleri Tree) this ensures protection against environmental aggressors
*Hyaluronic Acid -provides long lasting hydration, plumping & reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
*Vitamin B3- evens skin tone, brightens & illuminates for a radiant look.
 My thoughts- The rose water smell is heavenly it smells like a spa product, it is a nice mist, it is hydrating , moisturizing my skin feels firmer, doesn't feel greasy to the touch . 
I have been using mine as a makeup setting spray. It does a great job of keeping my skin looking amazing.
I also use mine before I put my moisturizer on for the night it helps to absorb into the skin nicely.
 This is a product I would definitely repurchase a great skin care product .

*5th product is full size  from the brand * be a ...Bombshell cosmetics - nail polish in the shade- VaVoom.


 This is a beautiful deep purple  blue color . This sells for $6.00 online .http://beabombshellcosmetics.com/product/polish/va-voom/  
The wand is perfect for an easy , precise application , one coat does the trick but you can add more to build up the color , it dries very quickly and wears a long time . 
* For an added lasting ability add a gel top coat .


I turned in some of my points and got a lipstick from the brand *Gerard Cosmetics- in the shade -Nude 






































This is a beautiful shade of pink it is a bit more of a sticky lip gloss it is very moisturizing , hydrating to the lips . Because it is a lipgloss it isn't long lasting . The packaging is sleek with a mirror on the side and a Gold lid .  I would like to try more of their products out .



That is all the products for September's Glam Bag. What did you get ? Which products were your favorite ? Would you repurchase any of them?
Thanks for taking the time to read Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them .

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 ...
