Great post from Ageless Elegance. She has some great make up tips and tricks.
I recently decided to clean out my makeup organizers on my dresser. As one who loves makeup, I have collected tons of it over the years- from eye shadows to lipsticks to several mascaras and multiple foundations. I couldn’t even recall when I purchased some of the products or the last time I actually used […]
Great post about which color correcting, and which colors are the best for your skin tone.
I started wearing makeup decades ago. I only recall concealer coming in various skin tone shades to cover dark circles and other flaws. Today, there are concealers in multiple colors, each with a specific job. Let’s take the time to gain some understanding about color correcting concealers and how they work. Very few of us have […]

Makeup Expiration Dates There are very few things I feel I truly need. For example there’s air, water, shelter, food, clothing (although I suppose this could be optional if I lived in a warmer climate, but then again I’d probably scare the natives). These things I couldn’t live without for sure however I’m gonna tack on […]

Happy Thursday! I recently updated my Ipsy profile, and I’m so glad I did. They have more options now than they have had in the past. I’ve had my Ipsy subscription since they started I think about five years ago. It’s only $10 a month, and you always get at least two full size items.
This month’s bag is carpe p.m. I have to say I’m digging everything I got.
Let’s dig in. First item Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Curl Envy Perfect Curl Cream is a deluxe sample size at 1.5 ounces. I have naturally curly fine hair, so I’ll be anxious to try this out. Value $1.85 USD. Next up Hikari Iris Liquid Eyeliner full size- a pretty deep purple liquid eyeliner with a super sharp point. Value $15 USD.
NYX Prismatic eye shadow in Bedroom Eyes full size- a beautiful bronze shadow that will look great on my blue eyes. Value $6 USD. Smashbox Insta Matte Lipstick Transformer deluxe sample valued at $12 USD. Now this is one cool product as it turns any cream lipstick into a matte lipcolor. It can also be used around the lips to decrease lines and prevent lipstick from bleeding. Being a mature gal, I will really appreciate this. Can’t wait to try it.
Last, but not least I got REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask deluxe sample valued at $18 USD. It’s rated well and I can’t wait to try it. The overall value was $53 USD, not bad for $10!
Here is the eyeliner and eye shadow swatched.
The bag is super cute too, and could be used as a wristlet. It’s fuchsia with a metallic handle and pony faux fur. Sorry it’s sideways.
What did you get in your Ipsy December bag? Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Sunday! Being a snowy day today, I went shopping. I had to make my second Ulta trip this week because I needed to pick up something for my co-worker. Months ago I got a Laura Gellar Baked Blush N Brighten in Tropic Hues from Ipsy. I really like the color and was contemplating buying a full size which is $28. I have a 20% off coupon for my entire purchase that I’m holding out buying anything until I have a ton of stuff to buy. Since I’m a platinum rewards member at Ulta, my 20% off coupon works for prestige brands. Anywho, I was looking at some clearance items and found the almost exact color by Palladio. I’m guessing Ulta won’t be carrying this line any longer since everything was on clearance. I do see they carry this at Sally Beauty Palladio Herbal Baked Blush in Blushin’ for $6.99. I paid $1.79 at Ulta. I was able to compare the two colors at the store.
Holy cow! They are almost identical. The swatch looks a wee bit different, but they look the same on.
Such a pretty peachy color
This is such a nice color on my pasty white skin.
Still have Bell’s palsy so no smile and a half assed make up job.
Thanks for stopping by.
If you have ever done research about improving the photography on your blog, YouTube Channel, or Social Media one of the first things you will learn is that lighting is one of the most important things, it’s surprising how much light is needed to make a quality image. Natural lighting is great (and free) but […]
Here’s the ad for Ulta’s Black Friday sale. While I wish they weren’t open on Thanksgiving, I may have to pop over and pick up a few things.
Happy Sunday! I got my second Sephora play bag, and I’m so digging it. This month’s bag is Best in Glow. I got five deluxe samples and a fragrance sample. The cost is only $10 a month. All of the items are available from Sephora. This is a huge advantage over my Ipsy subscription, as some of their items are not readily available. Now if Ulta would only do a beauty box, I would be in heaven.
One of the best things I like about the Sephora Play is the detailed description and use of products guide included each month. You know exactly what to do with each item.
First up, Cover FX Illuminating Primer a glow inducing , silicone-free primer preps skin with a light-reflecting mineral complex and helps eliminate dullness. I can’t wait to try this, as my skin has gotten dull as I’ve gotten older.
Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet- okay, you had me at Vinosource! A rejuvenating and lightweight luscious gel cream that hydrates and softens skin while visibly calming redness and congestion. This moisturizer has ingredients that are unique to Caudalie’s skincare collection. Organic grape water, a mineral rich elixir and grape seed polyphenols. I hear the box of wine in the fridge calling my name.
Laura Mercer Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold-Multipurpose, high-pigment eyeshadow stick glides on and blends easily for transfer proof, all-day wear. Not only can this be used as a eye shadow, but also an eyeliner and highlighter. I love multi purpose sticks.
Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel in Pin Up Pink-Hydrating, glossy lip gel visibly plumps lips with a lustrous sheen and always flattering hot pink hue-no sticky light pink color, easy to wear alone or over lipstick.
Glamglow GravityMud Firming treatment-Peel off mask turns a brilliant silver when applied and uses targeted ingredients to make skin appear firm and toned. I need a 55 gallon container of this bad boy, I want to use it on my entire body.
Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace- Channel the scent and feeling of a chilly evening spent by the fireplace with this warm, woody scent for both men and women.
