June 2014 Ipsy Unbagging and Review!


June 2014 Ipsy Unbagging and Review!



***Don't forget to watch and LIKE the video above***

The theme for this month was Swim into Beauty. The bag was black and made out of scuba like material and the zipper was hot coral. It was one of the bigger bags we have gotten.


The first item I received was the IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil. I have never tried anything from this brand because it is a bit more expensive so I was really excited to try this out. This type of eyebrow pencil with the spooley on the back is my go to way to fill in my eyebrows. This is cool because it works for all hair colors. I am not sure if it is full sized but i is a great size! I really like using this and it gives me great natural color!!

The next item I received was a sample size of the Smashbox Photofinish primer. I use primer everyday so I really wanted to try this out. I have heard great things about this primer. Unfortunately I didn't really like it. I felt like it made my skin more oily and my makeup didn't last as long. I do normally use a mattifying primer so this might be good if you have normal to dry skin. 

Next I pulled out Sheet Mask Trios from Bio Republic Skincare. I love face masks and the fact that we got 3 different ones to try out is fantastic! Ipsy counted this as 1 item which was also great! I have tried out 2 of the three and they are amazing! They are easy to put on, stay on and leave my skin glowing and soft feeling!
You can get a $30 skin kit and free shipping HERE with code IPSYBIOREOUBLIC

Next was a mini Formula X nailpolish in the color Powersource. This is a neon coral color which is perfect for the summer time. I applied this on my fingers and toes and it went on with just 1 coat! It stayed on my fingers for about a week which is long for me. I definitely want to try out more colors from this line. 

The final item I got was a Trestique mini shadow crayon in the color Marimoto Petal Pink. This eye shadow crayon is perfect to wear everyday on its own or to use as a base under lighter shadow colors. I tried it without priming my eyes and it did crease so make sure you wear a primer with it. I love the form that it comes in and its great for travel or to throw in your bag!

Overall this bag was amazing! I loved the variety of items like always!!

The Golden Standard! Natural Self Tanner

The Golden Standard! Natural Self Tanner




If you are into self tanning like I am then you know the struggle to find a self tanner that lasts as long as it can while giving you flawless none streaky color.

Well look no further! This self tanner from The Gold Standard is what you have been searching for!

I apply this after I have exfoliated my body in the shower. When I get out I have a mitt that I use but you can also use your hands. I apply it to one body part at a time making sure that it is fully rubbed in before moving on. I then sleep in it and rinse in the morning. 

The first time I used this I let it develop during the day instead of overnight and it did have a strong developing smell. If you have used self tanners you know what I mean. Now I just use it at night and I don't ever smell it at all. 

I wake up and my skin has such a nice flush of color for at least 5 days! It claims 10 but I never reach that mark because I also exfoliate again before 10 days. Once you apply this the first time you only need to reapply every other day. This isn't a problem for me because I already put lotion on my body after showers so this isn't an extra step for me.

The product is also extremely moisturizing and makes my skin so soft and supple. I love this and HIGHLY recommend!

    3D Fiber Lash Mascara by Mia Adora

    3D Fiber Lash Mascara by Mia Adora





    Fiber mascaras are all the rage at the moment. They are higher priced then most mascaras and the only drugstore one that I am aware of is from Physicians Formula. I have tried that one and hated it. Fiber mascaras are different from regular mascaras because they are 2 stepped and create a dramatic false lash effect. 

    This one came in a sturdy black satin lined box that held the Magnifying Gel and the fibers. The fibers are the things that create the volume and length. This is a time consuming process so make sure you make time if you are going to do it.

    First you have to apply the magnifying gel which is basically like regular mascara. Then while it is still wet you need to quickly apply the fibers then to seal it all apply the gel again and you are done. It says you can do this 2 or 3 more times but I just do one.

    It is so amazing! The fibers don't fall out all my cheeks like the Physician's Formula one and it stays all day. It also looks like false lashes!!

    #1 Neck Firming Cream for Wrinkles 1.7 Fl Oz. Review

    #1 Neck Firming Cream for Wrinkles 1.7 Fl Oz. Review



    Although I am in my early twenties I have started to get into preventing future issues. I got this neck cream to test out and see what it could do for me. I can't tell if it truly tightened since my neck is pretty tight but it did have a tingling effect that would help saggy skin. 

    It came in a luxurious package that screamed high end. It also smells high end and like it was made of high quality ingredients and not like random cheap chemicals.

    The cream went on the skin so smoothly and sunk in super quick. It left the skin feeling plump and moisturized.

    Allura Anti-Aging Neck Cream is:
    * Made with glycolic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells trapped beneath your skin.
    * Formulated with malic acid to smooth your skin and tighten pores.
    * Infused with organic aloe, organic coconut oil, organic argan oil, Vitamin E and shea butter for super-hydration
    * Formulated with natural and organic ingredients, and contains no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

    Keshima Angled Contour / Blush Brush Review

    Keshima Angled Contour / Blush Brush Review



    ***Watch my review video above***

    I have been trying out different makeup looks lately. I have been really interested in wearing blush everyday. I see people that do and it just gives their skin this beautiful glow that I would love to get! I decided to try this Keshima blush/contour brush. I don't use it for contour as I don't contour. But I have been using it almost everyday for blush.

    I like it because it has a slight angle so it doesn't overly pack the color on. The bristles are nice and sturdy but not so sturdy that they are too harsh.

    Cleaning it is also a breeze and all the stains immediately comes out.

    I HIGHLY recommend this brush for anyone's makeup collection.

    It can be found on Amazon. 

    Discover the Secret to Smooth Feet! RECHARGEABLE Pedicure Callus Remover Review

    Discover the Secret to Smooth Feet! RECHARGEABLE Pedicure Callus Remover Review




    If you want to get your feet summer ready you need this in your life! It is a rechargeable electric callus remover. Basically a sander for your feet hahah. I like this one because it is a nice purple color, it has 2 heads for when one wears down, 2 protective covers and a charger I have had this for a month and I have only had to charge it once! It works surprisingly well at getting my feet smooth and sandal ready.

    It is painless and my only complaint is there is nothing to catch the skin so it kind of goes everywhere. I solve this problem by just doing it in the bathroom.

    Other then that it is really quick, and simple and I highly recommend it!
    Love the cute look of those strappy sandals but wouldn't dare let anyone see your calluses and the rough patches on your feet? You could visit the salon multiple times to get that skin scraped away, but who has the time and the money for that? At home, you can spend hours rubbing at your feet with pumice or manual files and shavers, but you're likely to just end up with raw, red skin and a sore, aching wrist.

    Fortunately, there is a way for you to get silky, soft feet that you'll be proud to flaunt all summer long and beyond. The Naturalico Callus Remover is the answer!Naturalico is a foot exfoliation tool that gently lifts away dead skin and minimizes calluses. Less abrasive and much faster than manual files and pumice stones, the tool costs less than what you'd pay for professional pedicures to remove that unsightly skin.

    With its powerful motor, our foot file spins a full 360° at speeds of 40 turns per second. That's faster than competitors' tools and means you'll remove more skin every second. There are two speeds from which to choose for customizing treatment. Plus, our file is rechargeable, sparing you the cost and the planet the waste of replacement batteries.

    Using the Callus Remover couldn't be easier. Start with dry skin. Turn on the unit. Gently move it along your foot, pausing over rough spots and calluses. The integrated LED light will help you see those trouble spots with ease for improved effectiveness. When you're done, rinse your feet with warm water and then apply a body lotion or moisturizing foot cream. Your feet will feel softer and smoother each and every time with calluses diminishing gradually session after session.

    Completely transform your feet from rough and unsightly to smooth and stunning. Get ready to flaunt pretty feet this sandal season. Order the Naturalico Rechargeable Electronic Pedicure Foot File and Callus Remover today!

    Regenepure Biotin Conditioner Review.

    Regenepure Biotin Conditioner Review.


    I have pretty thick hair to begin with but since it is so long and heavy it sometimes doesn't look as voluminous as I would like. I began using this conditioner in hopes that it would help my hair look fuller especially when it is curled. I don't use it everytime I shower but just for special occasions as it really boosts the hair! Unlike traditional conditioners that you only put on your ends, this one is supposed to be massaged into the scalp and then put on the ends so it is an all over treatment. It has a very uplifting tea tree oil smell and leaves a sort of gritty texture on the hair that makes your hair more voluminous. The volume for me usually lasts until my next shower and sometimes even the shower after that. I wouldn't use it everytime because sometimes I don't want that gritty feeling on my hair. I recommend this for special occasions or if you have super fine hair that needs a boost daily.

    Our Regenepure Intense Volumizing Biotin Conditioner unclogs the hair follicles while replenishing them with useful nutrients that are vital for hair growth. Similarly to our other Regenepure hair care products, our Regenepure Intense Volumizing Biotin Conditioner is free of parabens, sulfates and fragrances, making it perfect for everyday use, especially for those with color treated and Keratin treated hair. With a balanced infusion of vitamins and beneficial ingredients, Regenepure Intense Volumizing Biotin Conditioner is an excellent complement to the Regenepure DR and NT shampoos. Together, they all work to strengthen damaged hair against future breakage.

    Key Ingredients: Biotin - Tea Tree Oil - Jojoba Oil - Keratin - Silk protein - Copper Peptides - Saw Palmetto
