Ipsy Bag: July 2013

0 comments
I have been subscribing to Ipsy since it they launched back in January of last year. I haven't posted any of the bags up until now, but I finally decided to keep a record of the awesomeness that is Ipsy.

This month I received the "On the Wild Side" addition of the Ipsy, which included a wonderful neon yellow and leopard print bag. Inside of that very fabulous wild bag was NYX Blush in Pecan, J. Cats Lashes and Cream Glitter Palette, Starlooks Lip Liner in Bare, Chella Highlighter Pencil. I really can't wait to see use the lashes, blush, and lip liner. These are all products that I am constantly looking for and adore. I am curious how the Pecan color from NYX will look. I'll post a video or photos of a look featuring these products later this week.

Must Have Summer Look 2013

0 comments
MUSTHAVE   I have been on the search for the perfect summer look for a couple months now, and have finally chosen my favorite "must-have" products! I am pleased to present my list to you!
  1. Kiehl's BB Cream - I received a sample of the Kiehl's BB cream for a girl's beach trip I went on a few weeks ago. I totally loved it! I wore it all day when we were on the beach and exposed to heavy amounts of sun. It also gives some of the best coverage I have seen from a BB Cream! Oh, and best part? There's 50 SPF in it!
  2. Benefit's Tripe Performing Moisture - I work for Benefit Cosmetics so I find myself often playing with our products while at work (duh!). This is one of the best daily moisturizers that I have found. It's light weight and had the SPF we all search for during the summer!
  3. Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray - I found this lovely product at our local Sephora. It is great for the long days outside where you're going to be sweating and we can occasionally feel like our make up is "melting off". I tend to find setting it with an oil-control really helps prevent that unwanted shine we all hate.
  4. Benefit's PosieTint - This is the easiest "waterproof" cheek/lip color for summer! It also comes in red (Benetint) and Coral (Cha Cha Tint). It's actually a cheek/lip flush so the color totally stays even after swimming, eating, pretty much whatever! It's ahhh-mazing!
  5. Benefit's Sunbeam - A sunny bronze highlighter. This highlighter can be used in so many ways -- like mixing it with PosieTint for a glowing cheek/lip that lasts! You can also use it for a cheek highlighter on top of the cheek bone, or an eyeshadow...or a brow highlighter!! It's such an versatile product!
  6. Lorac Tantalizer Bronzer and Highlighter Duo -  You always need to have a glowing sun kissed face, and Lorac is definitely a brand who delivers that great summer look. I love how the bronzer/highlighter goes really well on my cheeks.
  7. Lorac Mint Edition Collection - This summer I am feeling very 60's/70's with my look, so I chose the Lorac Mint Edition to help bring a little vintage glam to the look, you can really spice it up or down. I just feel this palette and collection in general is very summer and fun.
Do you guys have any "must-have" summer products that I should know about? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what is your total vice!
