Ipsy Glam Bag - July 2015 review

Check out what came and what I think about it all!

Back again for round 2! I'm way late for my July bag review, but I needed the opportunity to test out the products, which brought me in right under the wire:)

Stowaway Cosmetics Part 2 - Lip & Cheek

Missed all the excitement? Check out my post with more info on Stowaway Cosmetics!

If you just need a quick refresher, Stowaway Cosmetics is a relatively new company that combats the woes of larger-than-life-sized makeup products that are too big to be used entirely before they expire and too bulky to carry or travel with.

Their "right-sized" line of cosmetic essentials is not only adorable, but also more practical, portable, sanitary, economical, and cost effective than its hefty competitors.

New Stowaway Cheek & Lip Rouge set - 3 for the price of 2!

*This set is now $40*

The Cheek & Lip Rouges sell for $15 a piece, but you can get a set of three for $30!

The set includes Burnt Rose, Peony, and Canteloupe.

Makeup Inventory list! How I keep track of my makeup

Do you have enough makeup to stock Sephora for a year? Keep buying multiples of items and shades because you forgot what you have?

Well, here is a solution for you!

This video will show you how I keep track of what makeup I have and hopefully it will be helpful for you.

I'm not writing a separate blog post on this since the video is pretty self-explanatory and much easier to understand than if it was in blog form.

So......like how small are we talking, here?

Stowaway Cosmetics - "Life"-size makeup!

*Individual product reviews coming very soon*

No, I'm not talking 5'4" lipstick tubes. That would admittedly be pretty cool to see, but this company is making a big impact in a slightly more petite way! 

What is Stowaway Cosmetics?

Good to the very last drop - Get the most out of those makeup tubes!

Getting your money's worth should not be painful. Squeezing a tube of primer until your fingertips bleed is not a relaxing way to start off your beauty routine.

Something BIG coming soon!

Can't wait to share more info and product reviews on these babies!

Wellllll, it's certainly been awhile! I'm hoping to have more regular-ish posts from now on, but we'll see...

I recently decided to subscribe to ipsy for 3 months to try it out. I will have to unsubscribe after 3 months for financial reasons, but hopefully, if I like it, I will be able to resubscribe at a later date. *EDIT: I think I'm sticking with it for a while longer!!!*

If you don’t know, ipsy is one of those subscription box/bag services like Birchbox or Boxycharm. You pay $10/month US and you get 5 products in your bag.

Do you know......how to pronounce Bdellium?

I first discovered Bdellium Tools at IMATS NY this year. Their soft, eco friendly, high quality, and colorful brushes really caught my attention, as did the name. Well, it turns out that I've been saying it wrong all this time!

Puerto Rico haul - Sephora & e.l.f. with swatches & photos

View the haul video here:

Feel free to skip the first two paragraphs....It's really not that much, but feel free to just look at the pretty pictures:-)) The info on each item is not going to be as detailed as there are a lot of items, and I plan on doing individual reviews of items that I am particularly pleased with after I have used them for a longer time.

Well, I finally made it back from Puerto Rico a few days ago!

Clarisonic Mia review to come!!

I just got a new pink Clarisonic Mia and I just used it for the first time a few minutes ago. After using it for about a month, two times a day, I will do a review. I'm waiting so long because this type of product is best highlighted for its long-term results. Stay tuned:-))

Not up for reading right now? Hear me say words instead!

***I made the pictures ridiculously huge on purpose so you could get the full effect:-)



Hello everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing for you the must-have palette of the moment: Sugarpill's Heart Breaker Palette!

Hot Pink Z Palette review & photos - The REAL Freedom System!

Video Version:

Well, I FINALLY did it. I got my first Z Palette!

When I first heard about Z Palettes, I didn't really get the point. I also didn't have as many eyeshadows as I do now. As my knowledge of and experience with cosmetics has grown, I've come to understand the benefits of having a freer way of storing my products in a palette.

So why did I decide to go ahead and get one now after eyeing these for months? Well, there are two reasons, really: 

Welcome!

Hello all! Welcome to my blog! I will hopefully have a post soon. I made this blog as a complement to my YouTube channel maquillarmeXesXvivir. Talk to you soon!
