#OCTOBERGLAMBAG  # IPSYBLACKMAGIC

-My first product I received was a sample size- lip crayon in the shade -Florence Fig from the brand *TREStique

This is a fun little product that sells for $28.00 online- https://trestique.com/products/lip-crayon   

The product you buy includes a  lip balm in the bottom to use as a moisturizing primer or to  add a  shiny finish. 

My thoughts on the product -
the shade is a gorgeous matte, the formula is buttery soft, it glides on without any tugging, it does smudge a bit but that is only if you wipe it away after application . This is a wonderful shade for fall.  I really like it and I am excited to use it. 

-The 2nd product I received was a full size -Eyeliner

 from the brand *Essence- in the shade -black 

which sells for $3.00

 Online https://essencemakeup.com/products/eyeliner-pen-waterproof or you can find this brand at Ulta , Target if your lucky.

My thoughts on this makeup brand- it's amazing quality at such budget friendly prices. This is a great liner perfect for beginners, it is black ,the felt tip makes it easy to push into the lash line or create a signature wing or cat eye look . Every time I have opened it to use, it's like a brand new one . You can't go wrong with a waterproof long lasting eyeliner with my sensitive eyes .

-Product #3 was a tiny sample size of- blush from *The Balm -in the shade - Hot Mama 

This is a pinky -peach hue with just a bit of 

shimmer /Illumination can  use as a blush or eye shadow 

This sells online for $21.00

-4th product is a sample size- of nourishing lip balm -from the brand *Pur-lisse - 

My thoughts -this is so hydrating and moisturizing with ingredients like  Mango  & Shea Butter how could you go wrong.   This sells online for $16.00

-5th product was a full size -brush from the brand *MeMeMe

Jayedyn got this brush in her ipsy bag before and TBH this is a great brush, but it's one that you don't reach for because of the size. It gets lost in the container i have my brushes in But it would be the perfect brush for traveling . I am going to try to make a more conscious effort to use it because it works great .

 This sells online for $14.00

POST SCRIPT/

I am so sorry that this post is all over the place. I haven't been feeling well .  But that just happens to be my normal .I went to the Drs. for a stronger medication for pain and he recommended that I finally see a pain specialist he gave me a prescription for something stronger . 

I have been struggling with this disease as you know  and it's not getting any easier . I have lost so much already and it's taking every single breath and bit of energy for me to want to live this life . 

It's a daily struggle that I keep getting up to fight . This disease is not something you can forget ,It lets you know that it's here and it's not going anywhere .

The hardest thing I am struggling with now is feeling like I am worth something.  I think I am just so depressed.

 I see other people carrying on and I am just stuck in my house, in pain and depressed at everything . I wish I could do half of what I use too. 

My body shuts me down fast and all i can do is sleep . 

 In over a yr I have gained 50 pds . What the hell ! 

I don't eat even close to 3 meals a day (2 if I am lucky) and the food doesn't come back up . Its all the meds I take , the immobility and not moving as much because I couldn't . 

I am tired of this all and hopefully I can find a medication that can help me .  Prayers and fingers crossed .

 Thanks for taking the time to read
