I've said it before, but I love makeup.
Do you know why I spend the extra few minutes putting it on everyday?
Because the 'before' picture is SCARY.
My December Ipsy Bag came yesterday so like any true product junkie I had to try them all out this morning.
1. The Mirabella Primer- felt oily going on, but gives a nice smooth finish. LIKE!
2. 24/7 Glide On Pencil, Urban Decay- Smooth, but not a long lasting finish in my experience.
3. NYX Shimmer Shadow- Pretty, but the application sucks. You have to pour some out somewhere and then use it. I used the lid, but it was still messy.

I added a little Meet Matte from my last bag.
I think I may need to buy more of the mattes, they blend well and I have too much shimmer in my stash.
4. Bombshell- ummmm HELLO this shit is the BOMB.
Not sticky and so pretty on!
5. Mai Couture Highlighter Paper- Honestly I couldn't tell a difference in the before and after. Good idea, but maybe my tan was too dark to see it on?
There ya go! I'm still very happy I switched from Birchbox to Ipsy.
I got all of the above for 10 bucks and that lip gloss was full sized y'all.
Happy Thursday!
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am so switching to Ipsy. BB keeps letting me down every month. You look fabulous in that lipstick.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! I'm going to have to check Ipsy out. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so pretty! Pretty sure I'm going to have to sign up for the Ipsy Bag! Why have I never heard of this before!! Looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI think you look lovely in BOTH photographs... especially if you had the same smile/hair in the first one that you do in the second :) :)
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with UD 24/7 in zero...would fade grey after a few hours. Try UD 24/7 in perversion...super black and stays black ALL DAY. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was my first month to receive my Ipsy and holy cow was I excited!! My lipgloss looks more red on my lips than yours... I kinda looked like a hookstar, bet my hubs liked it! :) Thanks for the recommendation, I joined because of your last blog :))
ReplyDeleteI just signed up for the glam bags! Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteoooo I'm anxious to get mine now! I'm doing a 2 month experiment with Birchbox and Ipsy to see what I should stick with but I think I lean more towards the fun makeup items and not so much towards the patchouli room spray. Looking Good Meg!
ReplyDeleteI got my bag earlier this week! I LOVE the lip gloss! The color is fantastic! It looks great on you btw :)
ReplyDeleteI totally think your before picture is still so pretty even without the makeup!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IPSY..... makes me try makeup I normally wouldn't try.... Ok so explain to me what the primer is for? (im makeup challenged) and the gloss NOT my color! I am more a brown, earthy tone!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have got to get me some of that eye make up base! STAT! Love your post gf! Hope you're having a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great deal. How/where did you sign up to get that.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog! You are darling and such an Inspiration! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for ipsy after your post last month. I got my first box yesterday! I just love the idea of getting surprises in the mail!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can pull off colorful lipstick! Sometimes I want to and then feel like it looks silly.You pull it off great girl!
ReplyDeleteWell, I've been following your blog for a few weeks and thanks to your plug of ipsy, I joined last month and my first delivery is scheduled for tomorrow! So excited!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere I was set on the decision to get my SIL a subscription to Birchbox for Christmas, but now I'm torn since Ipsy is the same price! Have you ever gotten Birchbox before?
ReplyDeleteI got my bag this month-I signed up after your last review. I loved everything, but the gloss was not my color. Lucky for my sister she loved it. I feel super indulgent though because I haven't cancelled my Birchbox yet either. I think I have a problem. LOL
ReplyDeleteI need to sign up for something like this. LOVE that lip gloss!!
ReplyDeleteYep this month rocked! I'm ready for a cute bag though. I missed the red and white one a few back.
ReplyDeleteTake it from a patsy girl....I could tell when I used the shimer paper! I've been usuing it eveyday. Love it! Yeah I knocked my eye shadow over and well that was a huge mess. Dumb design but like you said I love the color!
Signed up and can't wait to get January's!!!! Thanks for the review :)
