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.
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.
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 Monday!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My husband dressed up like Captain America for a Comic Con event and I was so proud watching him interact with people and take lots of fun pictures! He is super supportive of this blog, and all of my other ideas and endeavors, not to mention my photographer for outfit posts, and I try to be as supportive of him as he is of me <3
Today I want to go over my November Ipsy bag, which I am very happy with this month! If you don’t know, Ipsy Glam Bag is a $10/month subscription where you get 4-5 deluxe size samples or sometimes full size products in makeup, hair, nails, and skincare. Do you subscribe to Ipsy? I would love to hear about what you thought of your bag this month!!
November Ipsy Glam Bag:
Bag and Theme:
I really like this bag! It’s so fun and girly, and it reminds me of a bag that you would find at Victoria’s Secret even though this months bag says Forever 21 for Ipsy. I think the theme, Girl Meets Glitter, is really fun for the holidays coming up!
Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Eye Base in Submissive:
I was really excited to see this in the bag! I love using M.A.C Paint Pots and Maybelline Color Tattoos for an eye shadow base, and this looks very similar to those. I think the color is beautiful, and although it feels a little more slippery and thin that what I expected, I think it will be stunning with lots of eye looks.
J Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint in Red Potion:
This immediately reminded me of a lip tar, which I have never tried but have always been interested in, and I am intrigued to try this. I did find the applicator to be only okay, and I did end up using a lip brush, but the color I did like! It was a bit darker, very vampy, but I could apply it with a light hand and get a more everyday wearable fall/winter color. This wore nicely on my lips and lasted well. It was a bit of a pain to apply, and I would be interested to try another color that I might prefer, but I did like this.
Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray:
I love little travel size hairsprays because we do tend to travel for nightaway trips pretty often. I am loving that this has argan oil, and am going to try this out first but will very likely pack this in my hospital bag for baby #3.
Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil in Ultra Orchid:
Usually eyeliners with glitter bother me because they can tug when you use them, but this is very soft which I really like. I think this could be very pretty for holiday looks. I like that I don’t have any liners in this color.
I have always been interested in the Temptu airbrush systems, but I didn’t know that they had products that could be used without the system. This is a very pearly white/pink highlighter, and I think that it would apply nicely with a small stipple brush. I love a good highlight, and I have high hopes for this!
Overall I am very happy with this months glam bag! I think that these prodcuts will definitely get some use and I think they’ll be fun things to play around with! I LOVE that a lot of these products are things I haven’t played around with much, like the J Cat Wonder Lip Paint, and that is awesome as a beauty blogger who wants to learn about new things! If you would like more information about Ipsy or would like to subscribe, you can find the information you need here.

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!
When I posted my Family Clothing Haul a few weeks back it was requested by a sweet subscriber that I share my makeup from those pictures. I re-created the look to share with you today with some close up pictures and will also share the products that I used. Thank you so much to Jaime for her comment and participation! It means a lot to me : )
The Look:
I love this look for fall because it is really easy!! A statement 90’s lip with a winged eyeliner is really all there is to it! I love doing a slight wing and a bold lip because it looks very put together, but in fact takes wayy less time than a more complicated eye look.
Products Used:
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner
I really like this as a primer around the sides of my nose and you can use it for any areas where you have larger pores. I used this a couple of years ago and then decided to try it out again.
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation in 1C1 Cool Bone
This is my ultimate favorite foundation! This doesn’t budge, even on my longest days and on my combo/oily skin.
Estée Lauder Double Wear Brush On Glow BB Highlighter in 1N Extra Light
I love this to conceal and brighten my under eye circles.
Benefit Boxed Blush in Rockateur
This is such a gorgeous blush! I have been reaching for this a lot this fall.
I like swirling this & lightly sweeping it on the high points of my cheeks for a little extra glow.
Hard Candy Brows Now! Brow Fiber Gel + Highlighter in Light Medium
I like this brow gel for a quick brow fix, but what I really love about this product is the highlighter! This looks stunning right under the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eye!!
Usually I use this as an eye shadow base, but in these pictures this is the only product on my lids!! It is great for a day when you’re rushing or want a very natural look. I just sweep this over my lids with my ring finger and blend.
L’Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black
I love this! This is super black, a nice felt tip, and great for beginners! I used this for my lid & wing.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Black
I wore this in my waterline! I also love this in nude.
Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara Water Resistant in Black
I love using a water proof mascara for my first coat after curling my lashes and this is my go-to!
Estée Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara
This is a deluxe size mini that I have been reaching for a lot lately, and I really like focusing it on the outer parts of my lashes.
Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler
All eyelash curlers are NOT created equal! This is my first eyelash curler that isn’t just whatever random one I grabbed at the drugstore, and it is worth EVERY PENNY of that $17 price tag! I love this baby!!
EOS Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet
I love using this before applying lipsticks!
Jordana Easyliner for Lips in Rock N’ Rose
This is GORGEOUS! And if you’re looking for that Kylie Jenner lip everyone has been rocking, this is an AMAZING find because it costs $1-2 and works perfectly!
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 08
I love love love love looooove this! The PERFECT affordable 90’s lip color! I also love the Kate Lipstick in 14 for a slightly lighter version! Stunning! Go buy this!
