My Oct Ipsy Glam Bag arrived!

Hi!

I am an Ipsy Glam Bag subscriber. If you don't know what that means then head on over to Ipsy and see what it's all about!

I will give you the short and sweet (or quick and dirty) version of it though. It's a monthly subscription that will send you 5 items a month, all beauty related, based on your answers to their quiz. Some items are deluxe samples and others are full sized.

Here is what I got this month:

1. Buxom Lip Polish in the shade Dolly. I have never owned any Buxom products before. I cannot stand the Bare Minerals from Bare Escentuals so I am hoping that this lip gloss is good. It's a plumping type gloss. It is 2ml, I am not sure if that is the brands full size. I like the colour. I swatched it a little bit.

2. Zoya nail polish in the shade Mason. If you aren't familiar with the brand they have a "BIG5FREE" formula. This means they are free of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, dibutyl phthalate and camphor. So no super harmful chemicals in these polishes! I have one of these already and it's just a great polish to use. Nice and opaque. I am excited about this shade. It's a beautiful jewel toned purple. Great for fall! Oh and it's full sized. 

3. Be Delectable from cake beauty ultra hand nourishing hand cream. The scent is strawberry and cream. I have had lotions from cake beauty before. I think that this is their slightly cheaper brand. I have seen it at Target. At 60ml I think it's a full size. 

4. H2O+ face OASIS Hydrating Treatment. It also says its oil-free marine hydration. I have never heard of this brand before. I am actually not really all that into trying out facial skin are at the moment. I think I have a pretty good routine going on right now. But because I have this deluxe sized sample I guess I can give it a go. Honestly, if it doesn't really seem to do anything great it won't be staying for more than a day or two. It's a gel like consistency. It is 10ml. 

5. bigsexyhair Blow dry volumizing gel. I will admit that I wouldn't go out and purchase a volumizing gel on my own but the deluxe samples I have received in the past of bigsexyhair products (from Ipsy) have all been hits! So I am very curious about this one. It's 50ml, which is big when it comes to pro hair product.

Every month they send all your goodies in a small, cute, themed makeup bag.

So simple this month, yet adorable. 

I hope that this a good look at what you get in the glam bag. If anyone wants a review on any of these just say so :)

I apologize if some of the pictures aren't the best, I took them quickly so that I had something to show. 

Have a beauty-full day!

Let's try this blog thing

Hi.
I spend so much time reading other beauty blogs, researching products, and watching YouTube channels that I figured its about time I at least start my own blog. 
I am going to try and put up some reviews, answer questions, etc. 

So I guess that I should let you all know a little about me "beauty addict" wise. I did take a college course in professional makeup application and worked at a beauty boutique. So I have definitely applied makeup on people other than me :) I have more makeup in my collection than any sane person requires. But I will still buy more!

I've loved makeup ever since I was a little girl. I would watch my mom put it on when she would get ready to go out. My grandmother gave me my first tube of lipstick, one that was hers, when I was around three years old. I blame her for planting the seed LOL.

Although makeup is my first beauty related love I am also very into skin care. I take very good care of my skin and will always do my research when it comes to different brands and products. I loved recommending and talking skin care when I worked at the boutique. 

Even though I can't wear nail polish five days out of the week, I have quite a collection. It started when I was 12 or 13. I love wearing all kinds of colours and trying different kits (when I have the time).

So there you have it. Expect to see all types of beauty content in this blog. I can't wait to get started! 

xoxo,

Crissy

P.S.  Please bear with me as I try to figure everything out :)
