Ipsy September + Past Hightlights

So I finally took the dive, and bought an Ipsy subscription!  I have enjoyed watching these videos for years, but could never bring myself to go ahead and buy it, but I'm so excited I did!
First of all, can we talk about how incredibly cute this bag is?  It is a metallic brown pleather above the zipper and on the back, and below the zipper is textured.  I thought is was so cute, that I used it as a clutch on my Anniversary!

So the first thing I received on the far left is First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream.  This is a very thick unscented hand cream, which will be great for Winter!

The second thing I received was Elizabeth Mott Queen of the Fill tinted brow gel.  I was really excited about this, because I've never tried a brow product before, but I have been wanting to!  Sadly, because I don't pluck or wax my brows, they were very thick and dark to begin with and the thick brow look did not work for me...

The third thing I received on the far right, is Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Primer Style Prep.  This is basically a heat protectant, for sleek (I'm assuming meaning straight?) styles.  I have been using this, and haven't noticed a huge difference in my hair, but it smells amazing! It is almost a spicy, fruity, fall kind of scent! Really unexpected, yet very pleasant!  My only complaint with this product would be that it had leaked all over everything else during shipping...

I also received this eyeshadow from a NYX and Ipsy partnership, that can't be bought in stores!  I have really been enjoying it.  It has a champagne light brown that is very shimmery, a medium brown color with a bit of glitter, and finally a soft black.  These colors are very pigmented and buildable. 

The final thing I received J. Cat Beauty #MOTD Waterproof Slide on Pencil for Eyes in Bronze.  It is a very smooth and pigmented pencil that is made to last for the whole day!  Though I have quite a few pencils in this color already, it's nice, so no complaints.

Finally, since I have been slack and not shown you my July or August bags, I thought I would show you the highlights from both!
In July I received this cloth, almost tie-dye bag, that fit the "Summer Lovin" theme quite well!  My favorite product from the month was Octavio Molina Hair La Playa Salt Spray.  I have tried the Not Your Mother's Beach Spray before, and I like this one a lot more!  It has a good hold, and a very salty beachy smell.  I have found it works best on dry hair, and does well reviving tired curls and scrunched hair.

In August I received this black and white bag that has almost a vinyl texture, which I was too crazy about.  My favorite thing by far in this bag was the Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eye Liner Pen.  I have tried eyeliner pens before, and tried winged eyeliner before, and neither have ever really worked out... until this!  This glides on so smoothly, lasts forever, yet when you make a mistake, easily wipes off!  This is probably my favorite makeup item I've ever had!

If you want to see me use many of these in an unsponsored routine check out my Get Ready with Me: Anniversary post!

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

My Summer in a Nutshell...

So I know I have been in and out throughout July, and then completely off the face of the Earth for August... Forgive me guys? I knew you would :) In some ways I thought you might need an explanation for where I have been, so here is it! July... So for the first two weeks of July I was recovering from a June (beach and packing the first two weeks, You saw all of this remember? :)  work and Bible School the last two), This was part of our Bile School castle, it was so cool! :)   doing Summer work (sort of not really ;), and working with the children's Librarian which was amazing! :)  We made Dirt Babies!! Aren't they cute??? The next week was consumed by church camp, which I can honestly say was one of the best weeks of my life! We had services every morning and night, and were part of a huge youth choir. It was a wonderful experience to bond with new people, and get closer to the Lord :) Our group was the second bigge...
