Beauty Rocks! (April 2014 ipsy Glam Bag)

The ipsy Glam Bag is a makeup subscription where you get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. My bag this month contained around $43 worth of product inside! Check it out here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/10kn

Benefit
lollitint (in candy-orchid)

This is probably one of the coolest samples I have ever gotten! I've seen a lot of advertisements for this product and I've been wanting to try it out! Because it is a sample and not the full-size product, it is not worth very much, but I'm still really excited to try it out! The sample I got is candy-orchid, which is the color of the year, so it's very appropriate, because I did not have any products in that color or shade before I received my bag.

Cailyn
Tinted Lip Balm (in Acid Pink)

This was not really a product I cared much for. I would have preferred a lighter color if this was a product that had to be in my bag. The product retails for $19, so it is a high end product, and it is also full-size, but it just wasn't a product for me. I was more excited for the lollitint sample than this.

Urban Decay
24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil Travel Size (in Black Velvet)

I love getting Urban Decay products! This is one of my favorite brands and I can always use more eyeliner! This is also a new product, so I'm super excited to have it!

City Color
White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse

This a drugstore product but it's actually really cool! I like the packaging and it will be a really good highlighter for around the eyes!

KISS
Looks So Natural Lashes

I do not wear fake lashes, so this was not something I was excited about getting.

March ipsy Gam Bag Opening (2014)

Destination Beauty

You can join me on ipsy and get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10.Only 4 products this month and yet this month's subscription was worth at least $50! I'd say I got my money's worth! Check it out here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/10kn

bareMinerals

Marvelous Moxie™ Lipstick in Get Ready

This is about half the size of the original lipstick, but the original retails for $18, so no complaints here! I love this color and the way it goes on! It feels amazing! I'll probably buy more of this!

NYX

Love in Rio Eye Shadow

This is a great little trio for traveling. I get so much use out of this! Only retails for $6, but I still really like getting NYX products in my glam bag, so I'm happy!

Chella
Indigo Blue Eyeliner

The product is amazing and has a excellent color payoff! AND it retails for $24! Soooooo, that means this product alone is already worth more than double what I to pay to get it! You can bet I was super excited to get this!

Pixi Beauty

Flawless Beauty Primer

Again, this is probably a half-size or sample-size product, BUT the original retails for $22, so I think this is still a great product to get. Pixi primers are really good quality! For a really long time my go-to primer was "Flawless & Poreless" from Pixi. I enjoy getting their products in my ipsy glam bag.

An awesome bag this month! I use my little NYX Love In Rio Trio almost everyday and I get a lot of use out of the eyeliner and lipstick too! I have to say the lipstick was probably my favorite product in March. I'm normally a lipgloss person, but the bareMinerals lipstick just has an amazing texture, it's irresistible!

Stars & Daylilies: Cabin Fever Makeup Tutorial

The Stars & Daylilies series is coming to a close with a final tutorial that may leave you with cabin fever! I honestly only gave it this title, because of the names of the eye shadows and lip color. It's quick enough that you can use it as an everyday look. I think this is a fun party look! I also think this look would be awesome with brown eyes!
Since this is the last tutorial for the series I have been working on for the past year, I'm going to need some inspiration from you guys for new tutorials and other videos! So send me your ideas via email, twitter, Facebook, or leave a comment on the video on YouTube of what you would like to see! All the contact information is at the bottom of this blog.

Products Used:

- Too Faced Shadow Insurance

- Mary Kay Cream Eye Shadow in Beach Blonde

- ULTA Eye Shadows in Deep Sea, Rags to Riches, & Key West

- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner

Stars & Daylilies: Pink Moon Makeup Tutorial

This is my interpretation of Ruby's look from Once Upon A Time. Ruby is Little Red Riding Hood and she is also a werewolf. So I wanted to capture a very feminine and fierce look with a canine touch to it. And it is all pink, because who doesn't like pink?!

Products Used:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Mary Kay Cream Eye Color in Beach Blonde
- ULTA pink eyeshadows in Complicated, Thrill Seeker, & Flutter
- NYX Eye Pencil in Milk
- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
- Best Lash Extreme from Jordana
- Pixi Bronzer
- Peony Blush from Clinique
- ULTA lip color in Cherry Picked

An alternative way to do the eyeliner and get a creamier look would be to use a crayon liner like Maybelline Define-A-Line or Stila's cream eyeliner pencil. For this version I also lined my waterline and I'm wearing a Mary Kay lip gloss with a similar color to Cherry Picked from ULTA.

February ipsy Glam Bag Opening: The Look of Love (2014)

The Look of Love

This was an awesome month for ipsy! I really liked the cream eye shadow best, but these are all great products! I love the bag for this month! It's all pink on the outside with a white zipper and the ipsy logo on the zipper tab. It's got pink leopard print on the inside which is just icing on the cake for me, because I am a leopard print addict!

- POP Beauty Plump Pout Mini in Peony Petal
The full-size version is $16, so I am really really really excited to try this! POP Beauty is definitely one of my favorite makeup brands. I was introduced to them by ipsy and I always like getting new products from them in my glam bag, especially since it's one of those brands I can get at ULTA, so when I like the product, I know I can get it from there and I don't have to go through the hassle of buying it from an online individual company.

- Zoya Nail Polish in Odette

One of the great things about ipsy is that they often send their subscribers products that have just come out on the market or products that are about to come out on the market, and a lot of times these products are full-size. The nail polish for this month was no exception! Odette is a new color from ZOYA's Naturel collection. It retails for $9, so it is moderately pricy.

- City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon
This product only retails for $2.99, which is pretty much what I guessed when I saw the packaging, but it is a really pretty color.

- Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base In One in Ambrosia

This was by far one of the coolest products I have ever gotten in my ipsy glam bag. I love the formula! It goes on smooth and sets up like a powder. The color is beautiful! I like Tini Beauty a lot! Especially the Nailtini nail lacquer. They give a lot of those nail lacquers in the ipsy glam bag. I think I have gotten three so far, but I have never gotten anything else from Tini Beauty, and the cream shadow is worth $18! SERIOUSLY! The coolest product!

- Dr. Lin Skincare Acne Spot Corrector
I don't need or want this product, but it retails for $8.99 and I'm sure I can find someone who wants it or needs it.

The whole bag is probably worth about $55 and it only cost me $10. Join me on ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag! You get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Check it out here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/10kn

Faith Fashion: Winter 2013

These are my four go to winter outfits right now! My hopes were that there would be at least one outfit in this video that every girl could see herself in, so I hope you guys like these looks and you are inspired to come up with your own fun and fierce looks for the winter season! I know it's easy to get stuck in the same jeans, fuzzy boots, and snuggly sweater all winter, but I also really enjoy mixing it up. This video gives you guys a glimpse of my style and how I like to dress when it is cold outside, but I still want to look like I have it all together.

The first outfit in this video is my Comfy and Feminine look. I love tights, especially if they are bold, bright, or just plain different. I pretty much pair everything with tights during the winter and this look I paired my bright purple tights with some thick and cozy shorts from Charlotte Russe. These shorts are made out of winter jacket-like material. They are super comfortable, but because of the material I can only wear them when it's cold outside (or at least neutral), which is kind of ironic, because they are shorts. But they look really good with purple or black tights. I'm wearing a grey T-shirt and a fuzzy white cardigan to keep it casual and kind of laid back. My favorite knee-high black boots are LifeStride brand. I got them for $10 at department store in Louisville and they have lasted me for years which is pretty impressive in my book. Also I feel like shorts, tights, and boots is just the perfect combination for fall and winter. To add a little bit of glam to the look, I wore my big sparkly bow ring, which I received as a hostess present from Premiere Designs. This look is perfect for everyday, because it's somewhat relaxed while still being very girly and fun.

The next look is great for holiday parties! It's Festive and Edgy...and simple. I'm just wearing a basic emerald-colored skater dress and some eclectic velveteen leggings from Forever21. These dresses are so great, because you can dress them up or down and they come in a variety of colors. The leggings are actually see through, so you do not want to wear them as pants, but they do look good with dresses and skirts and shorts. I chose to wear some very cute ankle boots from the Candie's collection at Kohl's. I think they look awesome with this outfit.

Personally, I do not like short necklaces with this dress, so I'm wearing my clock necklace from Icing by Claire's, because it hangs low and the copper color looks good with the green of the dress. To make it more Christmas themed, you can add a red blazer. To make it more fierce and casual I paired the outfit with a black semi-sheer pointed hem jacket from Forever21.

How can you look Casual and Sharp at the same time while staying warm at the same time? With look #3! Jeans, Candie's ankle boots, and blue blazer. I think this is Mudd blazer from Kohl's, but I'm not sure. The jeans and the grey shirt tone down the sharp blazer and the spunky heels. I was somewhat inspired by Emily Thorne from Revenge for this look.

Look four is my favorite! Classy & Cute! I got the Chiffon statement necklace from Premiere Designs. The blue blouse is from the Candie's collection at Kohl's. My comfy shoes are Hot Cakes brand. I wore nude tights with this outfit because I love tights and it is cold outside so this keeps the wind off my skin. The nice thing about this look is it can be a casual look or a more dressy look. The Hot Cakes are super casual, so if you wanted to wear this to a party, I would suggest different shoes.
