July Ipsy Bag!


Hey everyone!
I hope you are having a wonderful week. I am super excited to be doing another Ipsy blog post today! But I do have some unfortunate news before I go into my first impressions and everything. This month, I have unsubscribed to Ipsy. Honestly, I did not want to but since I do not have a job at the moment and I am going away to college, I could not keep up the subscription service. But as you all know, I love Ipsy, I think it an amazing subscription service and I highly recommend it. Now onto what I got this month!

Pouch/bag:

Now apparently many people were complaining about this months bag. I honestly do not understand why. But I personally like this bag. I absolutely love the neon pink because it just screams summer. I love how simple it is. It honestly looks like an envelope to me. 

On to the products!

1) Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray


I was super excited to be getting a sample of this product. First off, this is a really decent size sample, it looks like a travel sized. But I have always wanted to try something from the Healthy Sexy Hair line because they focused on making your hair healthy. Now I have extremely curly hair but I have been straightening it a lot this month because it has been easier to handle and I definitely want to try this on straightened hair. I also wonder what it would do on my curly hair? I dunno, I will keep you all updated if I like it!

2) Pop Beauty Sunkissed Bronzer in Secret Sunshine




Boy oh boy am I excited for this bronzer! This whole summer has been about the J Lo glow for me and I feel like this bronzer will help me achieve that. I think this is a full size product because there is a lot of product in it. I think this is a perfect shade for most skin tones. It would also look nice if you have a darker skin tone and you where this as a highlight. As you can see in the picture, there is a little shimmer in the bronzer but honestly that comes off after you apply it. I swatched it and I could not see any shimmer. Super excited to try this out!

3) Pixie Tinted Brilliance Balm in Pretty Pink




So pretty! This is the perfect summer lip color in my opinion. Now I think this is a pretty decent sample size. I love that you do not have to sharpen it, all you have to do is twist the bottom. I have never tried anything from Pixie but I have heard amazing things about the brand. Also, I like how versatile this color is. No matter if you are light skinned or dark skinned, I feel like this color will suite you. When I was swatching it, I noticed that it felt smooth and also very moisturizing. In a way it reminded me of the NYX Butter Glosses. 

4) Bare Minerals 5 in 1 (BB advanced performance cream eyeshadow) 



So excited about this product. As you all know, lately I have been having an obsession with cream eye shadows. I do not know why but I think they are amazing! Now this is a brand new product that is coming out from Bare Minerals. I am not quite sure what the shade is but it is gorgeous. It reminds me of a wetter version of Clinique's Shadow Tint in Lot's O Latte. When I swatched it the consistency was very smooth and nice. It was a more watery formula than most cream eye shadows but once I put it on, it dried instantly. I thought that was pretty impressive. Also this has an SPF of 15, so if you do not want your eye lids to burn, definitely consider trying this out. 

5) Hang 10 Dark Tanning Oil 


Honestly, I have never really used a tanning oil before, I only use tanning lotion or sunscreen. I am interested to try this because on the bottle it also says water resistant. Now I have not been able to go to the beach or the pool all summer but hopefully soon I will be able to test this out. It does have a scent. It is kinda hard to pin point on what it is  but in a way it smells like a mixture of vanilla and coconut. I could be completely wrong but that is what comes to mind when I smell it. 

So those are all the products that I received from this months Ipsy bag. I am super excited about all of them. There was not one product that I was disappointed in or not happy about. I will definitely let you know if any of these products stand out to me. Hopefully, I will be able to subscribe to Ipsy again. I hope you all have a wonderful day/evening!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the  L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Bye Bye Stretch Marks!

Hi everyone! I am sorry I have not posted a blog post in a couple of days! I was not feeling well but I am back and ready to blog again! Now this blog post is a little personal but I feel like almost everyone suffers with it.....and it's stretch marks! Stretch marks are when light or dark lines appear on your stomach or thighs when you have gained weight or  when the elasticity in your skin has stretched. I used to have stretch marks on the sides of my stomach and it made me very self conscience of my stomach. The reason why I got stretch marks was because I had gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time. But with these two products the stretch marks are almost gone! Now I will tell you my secret tip to lightening your stretch marks and soon they will be gone! The first product to use is the  Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Cream Unisex by Palmer's . I have used this for years before I started to get stretch marks. This is a very thick cream that rejuvena...
