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

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

Spring Trends 2014!

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally here! I am so excited for spring because I am tired of the cold. But where I live it is still freezing.....oh spring, where are you? Anyways, I wanted to show you all my favorite Spring Trends for 2014! Even though summer is my favorite season, spring trends this years are really fun. My first favorite trend is blood orange lips! Now when I first saw this trend I got really confused because the blood orange color seems more like a summer trend. But this has been all over makeup magazines and this trend was also popular on the runway during Fashion Week. What I really like about this trend is that your whole make up look can be soft and dewy and the POW! Blood orange lips! The lips seem to make any makeup look put together. Plus it makes you stand out and then you will be a trendsetter. The next trend that I have been loving is pastels!  Pastels is always a trend during the spring time but pastels are just amazing! But this year it seems...
