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?

Here is my bag of fun - 




The 1st product was a sample cream


 from the brand- TonyMoly
 Sells for $28.00 for a .50 ml You can also get 
Masks in a set of 2 for $4.00

The Chok Chok Green Tea called  ‘ Chung TaeJeon 
 -Watery  (Essence) Cream is made with 63%  Green Tea Extract which is fermented thru the sunlight for almost a yr. which is great for building a protective layer over the skin. 
This helps protect from pollution, those pesky Free Radicals, skin damaging elements and so much more.
Some key Ingredients and what they benefit-

 the lemon seed oil –antibacterial and antifungal properties
Rosewood oil- which is soothing and revitalizing to the skin.

*This was so hydrating and moisturizing it absorbed into my skin and felt like I wasn’t wearing anything. 
This did help a bit with the Dry patches and texture I have. 
This is definitely a great product to add to my skin regiment. They also have Facial masks that would also be great to add.

2nd product is an Eyeshadow crayon 

from the brand Dirty Little Secret
In the shade Fetch-  Sells for $14.00

This is a creamy opaque finish, it’s a light pinkish hue with some peachy undertones which is great alone or you can build it up for a more glowing shade. You could also use it as a highlighter.

The 3rd product was a sample Mascara

From the brand- Mac Cosmetics 
This is the *Extreme Dimension Lash Mascara in Black Extreme Sells for $23.00

Now this is a whipped formula so you can get those lashes volumized, lengthened and curls will stay w/o the clumps.
This mascara grabs every lash including those baby ones and for my sparse non-existent lashes this is amazing. The wand is tapered and pointed at the end so it just works. This is also a non-flaking, non-smudging, and long-lasting formula so I really Love this stuff.


The 4th product is a full size Brush

From the brand Luxie Beauty

This is the Precision Shader Onyx Brush # 239 Sells for $14.00 
(Not Sure about this one but the rose gold one does)
This is a great brand of Brushes I own quite a few and love them.
This is an angled brush that helps to blend your crease shadows easier, which it totally does and I love it. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
This is a super soft, synthetic bristle, brush so no animals were harmed in making this. Yeah for Cruelty-Free

The 5th product is a sample of Plumping Serum

From the brand NipFab 
In the Dragon’s Blood Fixing Serum
Sells for $19.95 For 1.7 fl. oz.
This is a moisturizer that’s lightweight, hydrating and works great under your face creams.

*Dragon’s Blood has a powerful blend of botanicals from the Croton Lechleri tree this forms a protective film on your skin which protects against environmental aggressors.

*Velvet flower –enhances moisturization & illuminates skin
*Gransil EP-9 absorbs excess oil & smoothes
*Hyaluronic acid – hydrates & refines skin texture.
Talk about some amazing ingredients.
You can feel this soaking into your skin.
I have been using a small pea size amount in my skin routine both day and night and I have noticed a bit of plumper skin.
I will continue to use until my sample is gone I would probably repurchase it. 

That my friends are all the products in my bag. I liked all of them and was happy with my bag.

Should we move on and see what Jayedyn got?
Okay, Here we go.



The 1st product was a set of sheet Masks 
from the brand -Purlisse 
Sells for $8.00 a mask, so right there it's a $16.00 value.
There's a bunch of nourishing Botanicals, antioxidants, and minerals They help to detoxify, rejuvenate your skin. 
The mask itself smells amazing. I have tried these before and this is one of those masks that doesn't slide all over. 
Breakdown of each mask- 
Coconut and rice -
*The coconut and Rice is great for restorative problems this will nourish your skin while fighting those Free Radicals (There are those stripper Cheerleaders stealing your man again. LOL)  
*Coconut is going to lock in moisture 
*Rice is going to brighten your skin and make you look younger & fresher. 
This mask is soothing, firming and tightening to the skin.

Green Tea & Ginger-
*Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory This helps with your skin elasticity. It also detoxifies impurities, reduces dark spots and rejuvenates your skin.
*Ginger is one of those that help with energy leaving skin healthy, beautiful and radiant.


2nd product is a Full-size eyeliner pencil 
from the brand -NYX
  Sells for $8.00
This is in the shade Midnight

It's a matte Navy Blue shade that is creamy and smooth, glides on easily and highly pigmented.


The 3rd product is an eyeshadow 

from the brand -City Color Cosmetics 
Sells for $3.99
In the shade -It's A Girl
This is a cream to powder formula with a high pigmented payout.  This is a plum shade but pulls a bit of pink into.

This can also be used wet for a more metallic look. It blends easily and is long wearing, in my opinion, There are 24 shades to choose from.

The 4th product is a sample size eyebrow gel 
from the brand -Chella 

Sells for $18.00
This is a clear brow gel that will hold hairs and keep them in place.  This is a very long lasting formula and a little bit goes a long way.

The 5th product is a sample size  lipstick 
from the brand -Smashbox 

Sells for $21.00
In the shade- Legendary
This is a highly pigmented, Bold, Daring red shade, this stuff glides onto your lips like butter it is so soft and smooth. The application gets even the stubbornest parts of the lips you would need a brush for. 
Such a beautiful color on Jayedyn.
Again this is right up her shade alley.

That is the review of our Ipsy Bags for the month of December. Sorry, this is late but I will have January's up in a few days.

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 ...
