Awesome Product Alert!! Rimmel Provocalips!

SERIOUSLY. GO TO THE STORE NOW AND PICK SOME OUT. 

     These babies have made me become obsessive in just a couple of days. After seeing Judy, from ItsJudyTime, do her review, I had to go get me one of these! She said they claimed to be 16hr wear and they were FOOD PROOF. Uhhh, a big deal to the #fatgirls, myself included! And who doesn't want a lip stick to stay on all day?! These actually work and are so freaking cheap! After trying one, I scoured the Internet for more and more swatches and made a list of all the colors I wanted! I currently have 4 and I just have to tell you about them! I have Make Your Move, I'll Call You, Play With Fire, and Kiss Fatal. Each lipstick has two ends that function amazing together! One end is the color, its a runny formula but very opaque, at least in the colors I picked up. The other end is a clear gloss sealer, that smells so good! Its a little fruity and a little sweet! Not to mention I can't get over how stinking cute the packaging! That lipstick print has me excited every time I reach for these!! AND they're around $7 wherever you go! Uhm, yes please! I love it!

     
     Make Your Move is a perfect "my lips but better" color, and it even works for the Kylie Jenner nude, mauve-y lip that is perfect with every look. This is the first one I tried and I fell in love! I NEEDED more after this one! I wore this for about 11 hours before I decided to reapply. At the 11 hour mark the color was still very much on my lips, but the edges had started to recede inwards so, I reapplied the product once more and continued on for about 3 more hours! Seriously, this was amazing to me! I spent my day in the city, aka San Francisco, and had a hamburger for lunch and my lipstick still looked perfect when I got home after my day out! I am so impressed with these!

     I'll Call You is a stunning bright deep, more berry pink! I was on the hunt for this one for a while and my mom ever so sweetly went to 3 Walgreens near where she works and finally tracked it down for me! Love it! I see this working well as a transition color from Winter to Spring! I can't wait to wear it more!

     Play With Fire is a beautiful deep red color. Love it so much! A red is a perfect color to have in this formula because red lipstick can sometimes be a pain in the ass to touch up, keep neat and clean, etc. Having this red that won't budge is such a nice option!

     Kiss Fatal= is an awesome light purple-y plum color and I am a sucker for the berry lips, so I had to have this one too! One thing that bothers me though, the name. Kiss Fatal? what about Fatal Kiss? Or maybe Kiss Fatale, that'd make a little more sense, I don't know, I'm just weird, but its a weird name, alright! Anyways, this color is so pretty! And once again, having colors you don't have to fix is so nice! So, its safe to say, I am happy, and quite obsessed with these lip products!

What's in my Ipsy Glam Bag: January

   Sorry this is sooooo overdue! I haven't posted on my blog in a 2 whole months! The holidays got really busy for me and my sister was home for most December and January, gobbling up my writing time. Not that I didn't enjoy spending my days with her, but I just had significantly less time, like none, to sit down and write! So I apologize! Hope the Holidays were good for you all, and I hope 2015 has found you happy, laughing, and healthy!! So onto my January Ipsy Bag!! I just tried to sit down and write my December review, but my December bag has gone missing! And honestly, I can't be bothered to really, really, look for it, so on to the next!

   January's theme was "Fresh Start," with it being a new year and all, and I really liked this idea! Fresh new beginnings always make a girl feel good.

   So, the bag: January's bag was pretty cute! It was White on one side, blue on the other, and coral on the inside with a coral zipper and zipper pull. I love the coral and white combined, but the blue threw me off a little! The bag itself is printed or embossed sort of, it's textured, like canvas, but is made of a nice, smooth pleather!

Item 1: BellaPierre Shimmer Powder in Celebration, full size, retails for $14.99. This shadow is very beautiful. It is a rich, warm, coppery bronze. The color payoff is great and its a shimmer, so its not just glitter on your eye, which I'm not opposed to, but it is an awesome smooth shimmer that blends out on your eye well.

Item 2: Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush, retails for $9.99 This brush is so cute! It has a bright pink handle and silver details. The bristles are white with dip-dyed hot pink tips. it is extra soft and would work to pack shadow on, blend in the crease, and apply your under brow highlight! Love!

Item 3:La Fresh Eco-Beauty Good Day. Day Moisturizer. deluxe sample size, .5oz, retails online for $13.99. Okay, I'm liking moisturizers more and more, but this one has such an unpleasant smell. I tested this on my hand before applying to my face and I am so glad I did! To me, it smells like some bad sushi. I don't know, its another extra natural product and I just don't think I'm a fan of the natural smell. On anything. Humans or beauty products!

Item 4: Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow in Ethereal, .08oz, seems like a full sized pan, but their website appears to not sell single pan eye shadows, so I'm unsure of retail price. They have sets online that are around $10-15 bucks which is reasonable and Target sells this brand as well! The shade I got is quite gorgeous! It is a light pinky pearl nude and it would stunning as a highlight or as an all over color for a very, very natural eye. The texture of the shadow is incredibly smooth and buttery too! I really like it!

Item 5: Probelle Into the Blue Nail Lacquer, full size, retails for $6. A nail polish is a nail polish and I have thousands, and I really may not be exaggerating that, so. many. nail. polishes. This is just another, I don't really like blues, so this will be stashed for use in a design or given to a friend.


In Conclusion: This bag's retail came close to $50 when I factored in all the prices and an estimated value of $3 for the Pacifica eyeshadow! Wow! And I only paid $10 and change! Awesome deals!!! Overall, I think January's bag rocked! I loved the shimmer powder, the eyeshadow brush, and the Pacifica shadow. Those three FULL-SIZED items were amazing! They far out-weight the smelly sushi moisturizer, that I'll promptly being throwing in the trash, and the blue polish I'll rarely use! Once again, Ipsy does another fabulous bag!! Can't wait for February!
