Ipsy- Glamour Academy

Back to school couldn't be more exciting with Ipsy's August Glam bag. Packed with beauty basics in the sweetest plum makeup bag I have all the stationary a girl could need to get through the day!

What's your take on this months glam bag?

Ipsy - Beach Beauty July

Ok so I know what you are thinking...July Ipsy, but we're in August. I can't believe I forgot to post this but better late than never..right?

All the essentials for a summer holiday were packed in a bright pink makeup bag that takes me back to my teenage years of cheap PVC pencil cases. My favorite item in this bag would have to be the Nailtini nail polish in 'Mai Tai', it is so eye catching and the perfect accessory to some summer fun!

Ipsy- On the Wild Side

This month's glam bag by Ipsy tells me they want someone to have a wild summer. Wait! Don't go running off and planning anything crazy! Let's take baby steps together and start with the make-up in this fab neon and animal print bag.

JCat Beauty eyelashes and eyelash glue: I can't tell you if these are any good because I'm too scared to use them! The idea of potentially sticking my eyelids together is a big no no. In fact I may just have to put these in a giveaway, so stay tuned!

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter pencil: This glides on smoothly and really opens up my eyes.

NYX Rouge Cream Blush: Gives a dewy look and is long lasting.

Starlooks lip pencil in Tipsy: You can use this as a lip liner or blend into the entire lip. I love how creamy this feels!

JCat Sparkling Cream Palette: Body Glitter! I probably wouldn't know what to do with this but I have an upcoming photo shoot, and this will be perfect!

What did you think of the June Ipsy bag?

Jewels & Polishes

Step out of the expected and try delicious combinations of nail color that match with your jewelry. The edgy combination of multiple colors will be sure to set you apart from the crowd. Contrast is important so if you are going to use a vibrant color, emphasize its punch by pairing it with a subdued neutral or darker color.

I would love to know what pieces of jewelry you choose to match your Mani with!

Generation Beauty by Ipsy

Thanks to Glenda at Sexy hair I was able to attend Generation Beauty by Ipsy that took place this past weekend at the Nokia Live. Thanks G! I spent my Saturday afternoon strutting the pink carpet, checking out makeup booths and spotting a few familiar faces from You Tube and the blogging world.

I am super excited about PACIFICA as the majority of the products are made with coconut and other natural ingredients.

Red and black can only mean one thing-Big Sexy hair!

I was in nail heaven at the Nicole by OPI booth they had set up. OPI were providing Mani's but there were also tables with design tips so you could just try something new out for yourself, hence my "I see you & raise you" plus "Sweet Dreams" self manicure!

Fishtail braid by Toni&Guy that I did not want to ever take out!

Yes you are reading correctly, there was a Boba truck there!

Ipsy Spring Fling

Spring Fling was the theme of Ipsy's May glam bag. The bold travel size bag contained JUICE BEAUTY Reflecting Gloss in Fig, MIRABELLA Lip Lustre Liner, YABY concealer refill, but the two products that stood out were ZOYA nail polish and PACIFICA Bronzing Body Butter.

ZOYA: This is a vegan friendly nail polish and Big5Free. The color reminds me of the sun and gave me an instant pick me up!

PACIFICA Bronzing Body Butter: Anything with coconut pretty much has me sold but this offers a little bonus by giving you a sun-kissed instant tan. TIP: wash hands after applying to avoid staining clothes!

What did you get in this month's glam bag?

L'OCCITANE BLOGGER VIDEO

Creating a blogger video for L'Occitane was like stepping into a whole new territory for me. The most I have ever done in terms of video is using my iPhone to record the kids school concerts! This was a great learning experience and an honor to get a first look at L'Occitane's new beauty products.

I would love to hear what you think about the Sublime Essence and Sublime BB Cream. They should hit the stores next month, so you don't have to wait too long!
