December Ipsy Bag 2014!

Hello Everyone!

This is the last Ipsy bag of 2014! That is crazy!

So let's get into our last "unboxing" of 2014!

The bag/pouch:

I really like this bag. I think it is the perfect size to carry around make up products on your purse. I kind of wish that there was a more fun bag since it is the last one of the year. Maybe like a fun print on the pouch. I feel like this is just a little to boring. But none the less, I think the bag is really practical. 




Now onto the products!

Cool Way Boost Repair


When I first saw this, I honestly thought it was a sunscreen because there is a sunscreen company that has a similar name. But when I saw boost repair, I realized that it definitely was not sunscreen. Apparently, this product is a revolutionary hair repair serum that has Aminolock MAB molecule. I have no idea what that means. You are supposed to use it in the shower. But when I smelt it, it smells like nail polish remover. I kinda do not want to put that in my hair. But I will try it but since I have extremely curly hair, I am kind of worried about what it would do to my curls. But we will see. 

Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream Avocado and Argan 


Just letting you know, this is going to my mom. I will not be using it. The reason is that I do not have any problems with my under eyes yet and I do not really need an eye cream. But I wish it was a body lotion because avocado and argan sound amazing for your skin. I really like the packaging, I think it is really cute and simple. This does not smell like anything. 

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara


I have heard nothing but great things about this mascara. But I will also be giving this to my mom because it is her favorite mascara. I have never tried Tarte mascara's but one day I will be able to. 

Pixi Fairy Dust in Brightening Bare




I am so in love with this eye shadow. As some of you may know, I have an obsession with champagne, bronzy colors and this is just perfect. It is super creamy and it looks like it is going to perfect to wear by itself or over a cream shadow. Plus, this applicator is extremely interesting. It reminds me of the NYC shadows that were in a pot like back in the day. Those were my first eyeshadows and now this Pixi one is an upgrade. But I am super happy with this product and I cannot wait to try it out. 

NYX Butter Lip Balm in Parfait 



I was super excited about this lip balm because I have not heard anything about it. Normally, the beauty gurus are going crazy over NYX lip products so I was surprised that I have not heard of this one. But it is a really pretty color and I think it is really nice for the college look: high bun, mascara, and this pretty lip bun. So I am really happy with this. 

That is my last Ipsy "unboxing" of 2014! I cannot believe that this year has gone by so quickly. It definitely has been an interesting year and I am excited to see what the new year has to offer. 

Unfortunately though, I was kind of disappointed in this Ipsy bag. Since it is the last one of the year, I wish we received a bright red lipstick for the holidays or a highlighter. But that is just me. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day/night and I hope you all have a happy holidays!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health p...

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 ...
