Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Today I will be continuing my post from Monday, Products I’ve Used Up?! January Empties! Part 1, and sharing if I would repurchase, and a mini review.

Empties Part 2:

Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray:

I love the Urban Decay makeup setting sprays, I have already repurchased one but I picked up All-Nighter this time instead of De-Slick.

Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder in 10 Porcelain Ivory:

I love this powder! It is fantastic for setting my foundation, and adds a little extra coverage. I have already repurchased this.

Orajel Training Toothpaste Fluoride-Free in Berry Fun:

This is for the kiddos, and we have already repurchased it! We are getting Hailey ready for “big girl” toothpaste but continue to use this for Connor.

O•P•I Drip Dry Drops:

I ran out of these so long ago and seriously need to repurchase them! These drops help dry your nails SUPER fast when you’re rushing! I don’t use them every time I paint my nails, I do find they dull the shine just ever ever ever so slightly, but they’re amazing for when you don’t have forever to sit around waiting for your nails to dry!!

Pureology Serious Colour Care Antifade Complex Shampoo:

I love these shampoos! I have not repurchased, but have a different Pureology shampoo in my shower.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks:

I used this during this pregnancy and I do like it for my belly, breasts, and buns! But I did not repurchase it because I opted to use an oil by Burt’s Bees.

Colgate 360 Toothbrush:

These are my favorite toothbrushes! For 2015 I would like to get us some nice electric toothbrushes, but these are my standbys for sure! Any suggestions for a great electric toothbrush would be apprecaited! Let me know in the comments if you have a favorite!

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream:

I really like this hand cream in the winter months. I didn’t like it at first because I was using too much, but if you use just a pea sized dab works beautifully! I will repurchase!

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Hair Mask:

I only had a small sample of this, so I only got a couple of uses out of it, but I did enjoy it! I don’t plan to repurchase it because there are lots of other hair marks I have on my “to try” list, but this did seem nice.

Estée Lauder Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Eye Cream:

I got a sample the last time I went to purchase my Estée Lauder staples and I did enjoy this eye cream, but I have not repurchased it.

H2o+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment:

This was a small sample from my Ipsy Glam Bag but I got quite a few uses out of it. It is a gel consistency, it felt hydrating, and did not break me out. I would consider purchasing this in the future, I think it would feel great in the summer!

Patagonia Ayres Body Butter with Essential Oils Jasmine and Rosemary:

This was another small sample, but I did enjoy the rich formula and the scent was very relaxing.

Anastasia of Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Ash:

I adore this and it has already been repurchased this! This will help you make sure that your brows are on fleek (on point!) : )

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!!

Well, I *finally* caved! I have been a reading and watching reviews and unboxings of the Ipsy Glam Bag for a looooong time and after some heavy debating between Birchbox vs Ipsy, I decided to ~~go with~~ start with Ipsy. Today I will be sharing what I got in my bag as well as my thoughts/mini reviews. When you sign up for Ipsy you create a profile so you get items that are supposed to be catered to your preferences, as well as skin type and hair type. Ipsy sends deluxe samples and full-sized products for $10/month. If you are interested in signing up for the Ipsy Glam Bag you can do so here.

September Ipsy Glam Bag:

Swatches of NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow in Burlesque, Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eyeliner in Fringe, and Cailyn Art Touch Tinted LipGloss in Basic Instinct:

The Bag:

The bag is a cute silver/chrome faux leather with stud details. This bag is cute and a nice size to slip into a purse so that your essentials are easy to grab!

Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss in Basic Instinct:

At first I was really excited for this product, and I really do like the lip gloss formula…the color is just not for me! This is a really pretty nude, but the color isn’t the most flattering with my skintone. I *do* like the lip gloss though, and would like to try it in another color.

NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow in Burlesque:

This is my first NYX single shadow, and I think it’s a beautiful color. The eye shadow has nice color payoff and will be beautiful for fall and winter. I would like to de-pot these into a Z-Palette, and I think they would work well stored with M.A.C single eye shadows.

Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eyeliner in Fringe:

This is a basic brown eye pencil, and I like brown eyeliner for a more natural look. I do NOT think that this eye pencil is waterproof, but I will continue to use it and enjoy the color.

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask:

I haven’t tried this yet, but I am VERY excited to try this! I love deep conditioning treatments, and I am always looking to give my ends some love!

Crown Brush C476 Crease/Shadow Brush:

I have never tried Crown Brushes before but I am excited to try this one out! Duo ended brushes aren’t my favorite, because they aren’t as easy to store, but I do travel at least one or two nights a month, and this will come in handy for that!

I am very happy with my first Ipsy Glam Bag, and although I’m not in love with all of the products, I can pass them onto family and friends who may like them better, and I’ll still get more than $10 worth. What subscription boxes are you loving? What boxes are you lusting over? Let me know in the comments!! : )
