Ipsy: April 2021

Bring on April! I got this bag very very late, which is why the review is so late..

So, I've been obsessively checking my email for other reasons and ever since the email popped up about the "Add Ons" I really went back and forth about one particular item that ever-so-slightly caught my eye. I have only ever used 1 other product by them, and I can't tell if its simply just the internet HYPE that makes me curious, or the fact that it's really good.... 

Either way, this was my first bag that I went ahead and granted myself an "Add On" in addition to my hand-picked item. It was only 3 bucks, which is honestly why I caved. After like, day 3 of it lingering in my brain, I said "screw it, its $3.00" and just added it. If it was was haunting me that bad - like, seriously.... I needed to just try it and get it over with.

As boujie as I generally am... I have NO PROBLEM snapping my purse closed when it comes to people trying to upsell me shit. 

Ipsy: March 2021

 My highly anticipated March Ipsy Bag!!!

My excitement over this bag was obnoxious. When I signed back up, I realized they were doing things a little different than before. This time around, there are different Levels, or tiers, of bags you can sign up for... as well as +Upgrades you can throw in - fairly cheap - some $5.00 some $10.00, etc.

I opted for the traditional, uncomplicated, standard GlamBag. Honestly, I am just super stoked to be back in the "Swag Bag" game.

Back in the game

In anticipation of all the scrutiny that goes into the Home Buying process, I shut everything down as far as extra-curricular subscriptions were concerned. Everything - with the exception of television related (Netflix, Hulu, HBO*go, etc) since we were still in the middle of the Pandemic and stuck …

1     TARTEFoundcealer with SPF20 I've heard a lot about the Shape Tape and this new Foundcealer, so I was excited to give it a try, plus the shade is close enough that I figured I wouldn't worry about it being an exact match. It may be user error, but I've always struggled with product…

1     BITEAmuse Bouche Lipstick I will rarely ever dock a lipstick review for color, I still struggle with getting colors right, even when I get to sample live & in-person. So, my lipstick reviews are generally on formula, consistency, etc. This lipstick was fine, I didn't get an overwhelmi…

All roads point back to IPSY and finding a product I fell in love with.

I believe I had finally decided to order one of my very first expensive products from Sephora and being a new Sample-Addict (also thanks to Ipsy) I was all over the "select-a-sample" options that accompany your Shopping Cart on Sephora's website. Somewhere along the line, I ended up with a Belif product.
