Ipsy: July

Guys, this is probably the nicest Ipsy bag I have ever gotten!  All of the products that were in here were so fun and impressive!  I've used them all since receiving this bag and it has been wonderful!

But first... Let's talk about this bag.  I don't get it!  But apparently this character is very popular with those who know who he is.

I've gotta give it to them though, the back was really funny.

This is the Pacifica Island Life palette and it is soooo pretty!  The eyeshadows are crazy pigmented and very creamy feeling.  You are able to get a full look out of these five eyeshadows, which I think is the epitome of a perfect patette.  This is honestly probably one of my favorite items I've gotten in an Ipsy bag! Such a nice brand!

This is the Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer.

I love the brand Tarte, and this was such a fun addition since I don't usually buy or play around with more than my everyday bronzer.  It is a bit sparkly for my usual taste, but it will be fun to play with during the summer! 

This is the Hanalei lip trreatment in the color Rose.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand and got super excited thinking it was going to taste/smell tropical.  It reminds me so much of the smell of Carmex! And I hate Carmex...  The color is really pretty though!  It's a nice sheer pink.

This is the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.  Even though I have waaaay too many mascaras, I was excited to add this one to my collection!  This does gorgeous things for my lashes.  I was so glad to finally try this cult favorite mascara!

Finally, this is the Cougar 24 Hour Liquid Lipstick in Mulberry.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand, but I love lipstick and I loved the color, so I was excited to try!  It has a gorgeous color and a really nice staying power!

Like I said before, this is by far one of the nicest bags I've gotten, and I was super excited for just about everything!  God job Ipsy!

Sunburn Relief

Even when you wear sunscreen, sometimes the inevitable happens and you get the dreaded sunburn... So what should you do? I have a few suggestions of the best way to be as comfortable as possible while you recover! 1.) Pain Reliever First things first, as soon as you discover your sunburn head to the medicine cabinet and take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Ibuprofen or Advil. These are anti-inflammatory medications which will help to reduce swelling and pressure from the sunburn, which will relive  some of the pain. 2.) Hydrate The second most helpful thing you can possibly do is drink water! The sun has sucked all of the moisture from your skin, and it is literally  begging for you to replenish it. Try to drink just water, since it is better for you and more hydrating than juice or sodas. 3.) Take a Bath Try to limit yourself to no more that 30 minutes, but that thirty minutes can do wonders for your...
