Ipsy: September

This is my September Ipsy Bag!  Apparently the theme was "Like a Boss," and I can really see that coming out in the black studded style of the bag.  I like that they are theming things a bit more these days!

First, I received the individual eyeshadow pan from Elizabeth Mott Pop! cosmetics in the color Gunmetal.  I've been trying to flesh out my Z-palette recently so I pick it up to use more often, and this was a really nice addition (though sadly, it was not magnetized).  I used to be upset with individual pan eyeshadows, but now they are right up my ally!  This is a nice shimmery basic grey.

This is the Lights Camera Lashes Mascara by Tarte.  This is actually one of the first products I've ever received from Ipsy that I already owned.  I keep one in my makeup collection at college and the other at home I love it so much.  Therefore, this obviously would have been a hit, if I didn't already own it!  But they had no way of knowing that.

This is the Rep Bio Fresh Face Mask.  As I've said before, I'm not into the whole sheet mask trend, so I'm always happy to get a cream mask instead.  This is made with calming herbs and as a very neutral smell.  It is nice and creamy and moisturizing, which my kin has really needed recently.  I have used it a few times now and it has been super enjoyable!

This is the Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance primer.  I was kinda turned off by this at first because I tend to have oily skin and I definitely don't want shimmer all over it!  But then on a whim I tried it along my cheekbones as a highlighter and it is BOMB!  With this you can get such a dramatic highlight for the nights you really want something extra.  Since I figured that little trick out I have fallen in love. 

This is the Teeez Lipstick in Romantic Red.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand, which is always kind of disappointing to me because I subscribe to Ipsy for the high end products.  That said, I love this packaging, and this is a really nice matte red color.  I always tell them on the surveys that I am really into lipstick, so I can't blame them for sending me shades I may already own!

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

Disney 2016: Day 8

1:15 p.m. Good evening girls! We have had a late morning, and are currently on our way to Disney Springs! We woke up around 9:30 and have just hung around our hotel and done some laundry since then, it's been nice not to do much! Today I am wearing a Jessica Simpson romper from Dillard's, my Sanuks, my FitBit, my new Alex and Ani Disney bracelet (!!!), my gold earrings from Maurice's, and my hair is scrunched! My dad bought me an Alex and Ani in Magic Kingdom, it says "A Dream is a Wish your Heart makes."  It is so cute, I love it! 2:30 p.m. Just finished lunch at Earl of Sandwich! I had a chipotle chicken avocado sandwich, and even though the restaurant was crazy crowded, the food was actually pretty good! 7:00 p.m. I just had a spiritual experience... Because I just tried my first ever Sprinkles Cupcake! It had toasted marshmallow frosting, and I could have eaten four more.  They were so good!! They even had a cupcake ATM outsi...

A Month Full of Concerts + OOTD

So in the past two weeks I've been to more concerts than I generally go to in a year... It has been glorious.   The first concert I was lucky enough to attend was the Avett Brothers!  In case you've never heard them, this is probably their most popular song right now.  They have a very folk feel.   My boyfriend bought us tickets since they were coming to Appalachian State University, and it was so good!  They are a very Appalachian kind of band, it fit well. As far as the OOTD, I had to wear flannel, It was just necessary for an Appalachian Folk band. I had to go "hipster." My Tank Top is from American Eagle My Shorts are from Hollister My Flannel (which was worn around my waist most of the night) is from Rue 21 My Shoes are Sanuk Yoga Mat Slings As for Jewelry I have my FitBit, My Disney Alex & Ani Bracelet, and a simple triangle necklace from Target We had an awesome time, and as you can see, the flannels were a must! ...
