March ipsy Bag Review


This month’s bag was interesting, to say the least, it was a cute Black and white cartoon bag with a hot pink zipper.

 the thing that was different from others is  they gave you some markers (You can color it) what the heck 🤔
I didn’t think anything of this and it wasn’t something that I would do myself... or was it???
I was bored and it was sitting right there, so I picked up some markers and 
This is what it ended up looking like ..


The products this month were all samples it seemed,  not too thrilled about what I got at first, but quickly changed my mind upon use.

Let’s get into this .

1st product is a sample of- Benefits new Mascara* Bad Gal Bang

Sells for $24.00 full size and $12.00 travel size
https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/us/en/shop-makeup

This is 36-hour Full blast volume mascara that isn’t going to go anywhere. It’s a  wet black formula. 
I am not gonna test out the 36 hr. wear but as far as the claim of volume and long lasting.  I would agree. 

*This made my lashes full and looked almost like I was wearing Falsies and it did not smudge, crease or flake off during wear.
This is one that I will be repurchasing.
2nd product is a sample size of -Glossier Mint Balm dot com -universal skin salve
(Holy Crow that's a mouthful) 

Sells for $12.00 for a 0.5 fl oz./15 ml

https://www.glossier.com/products/balm-dotcom

They have 6 different flavors to choose from

*This is a universal product it’s hydrating to the skin, a long-lasting, multipurpose lip balm and skin salve. 
 You can use for dry skin, chapped lips and other places on your body. 
 It works great because it is packed with antioxidants and natural emollients that are used to nourish and repair dry, chaffed skin.
  It has a true mint scent to it,  but isn’t overpowering
I have put it on my lips, cuticles and dry parts of my face and it does work at making the skin softer.  
This is a great product, I would repurchase this. 
As of now, I  can only see this  Online

3rd product is a sample of -Skyn Iceland Pure cloud cream

 Sells for $55.00 for 50g/1.7 us oz
This is a light as air daily moisturizer . 
This feels like what a cloud would probably feel like! Like I know what a cloud feels like... 😕🤔😂
The formula is creamy, a puff like texture.  Its hard to describe... 
It soothes dry sensitive skin and protects from harsh elements. 

This makes my skin feel so incredibly soft and glowy. 
The ingredients include Arctic Berries and Peptides which are so good for your skin
This is also something I would purchase but I have other products I can easily purchase without shipping. 

4th product is a sample size of - Tarte Sex Kitten gel eyeliner

Sells for $20.00 you can also get a liquid liner formula 

https://tartecosmetics.com



This is a waterproof, all vegan, dark black pigmented gel,  it has a no tug formula so it glides on the waterline or tight line easily.
This is also one of those eyeliners you can depend on.  It will last up to 12 hrs.
( I have worn it longer) 
Went to bed with it on accidently. 
 It still  looked like I just put it on.)
With this being said it is smudge-proof, waterproof and sweatproof . All the things you need a eyeliner to be.
This is a product I am going to purchase.

5th product is a Full-size -Kokie Prof.  Lip Veneer Cream gloss in the shade- Unspoken



This is a super creamy formula that is highly pigmented,  it glides on your lips like butter. 
Makes my lips a bit plumper looking. 
You can find your perfect color  because they have a shade range of 14 colors. 
This is a liquid lip cream that I can wear without it drying my pout.
  It also does a good job of working over chapped lips or brutally harsh lips like mine. 



 The story of my Life-
Those were all the products in my bag. It seemed like I had mostly Sample sizes for the month, but overall I did like everything that I got and have been using it all, so that is a plus.

On to Jayedyn’s bag of goodies

She got the same bag but wasn’t interested in coloring hers
 she liked that the bag was bigger than usual.
1st product is a sample size -Tarte Sex Kitten gel liner
The same as mine

2nd product is a sample- Glossier coconut balm dotcom
She got the exact same but different shade It smells so good …

3rd product is sample size -BRTC Foaming Cleanser


Sells for $25.99 on Amazon
I couldn’t find an actual website
This is a Korean Beauty brand it’s a foamy cleanser that removes makeup, lipstick and exfoliates while it leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean,  its also not going to dry up your face, clogging pores or strip your skin of natural oils. It’s great for even the most sensitive skin.

4th product is a full-size -Contour Cosmetics lip liner in the shade Stud


Sells for $30.99 I could only find it in a lip kit bundle
This is a creamy formula highly pigmented matte lip liner it’s a medium brown shade and last all day.
It’s easy to wear alone or with your favorite shade of liquid or glossy lipstick. It will not smudge or feather.
5th product is a full-size -Dirty Little Secret Cosmetics Baked Highlighter in the shade Prosecco


Sells for $14.00 for 3G/0.1 oz.

This is a baked formula that is highly pigmented it doesn’t leave a glossy look to the skin.
 It's easy to blend out and build up so if you want a glowing, long-lasting shine you can.
It’s a gorgeous pinkish shade but doesn’t look like you put a ton of pink glitter on your face.
Use it all over for a more intense glow that the gods would envy.

Well that is Jayedyn's bag 
She liked all of her products she seemed to get more full size than samples like I did.

She really liked them all and has been using 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 ...
