October 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag: Beauty Candy

Guys, I am always super late when it comes to posting a post about these glam bags! I'm determined to be on time next month. DETERMINED! 

Moving on...the theme of October for Ipsy was Beauty Candy. How adorable! The bag for this month is by far my favorite like it looks like a high end type of bag. The bag is your standard pouch type bag but in the color teal. It has a quilted type of pattern on it but it is super sturdy type of plastic. I really like it because it won't rip easily and it won't get dirty. Love love love it.

As per usual I received five beauty like items and overall I am happy. So click on read more to check my thoughts on the bag!

March Drugstore Makeup Find Of The Month: Physicians Formula, E.L.F., & Garnier

(I apologize now for the quality of the pictures. I am using my iPhone because I don't own a camera)

Hello everyone and welcome to another Drugstore Makeup Find Of The Month! The month is March and I know I'm just a bit late on this post but I found some amazing things at the drugstore. I'm so happy about them that I'm so giddy writing this post right now! The two brands that I got my makeup items from is Physician's Formula, E.L.F. Cosmetics, and Garnier. 

I can't wait to talk about these so let's go!

Review: Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil

SPOILER ALERT: This is an awesome product. In fact, I can easily that this is a HOLY GRAIL product. I am writing this review in the winter time, and let's just say my skin suffered some trauma. I go to school in Boston, and the temperature is a bit lower than the normal back home. It was about a month or so ago, and all of a sudden my face sprouted small bumps all over. My entire face was pretty much blotchy and it felt like I had completely different skin. I am usually combo-oily, so these bumps and small acne have never occurred before. So I thought, "I NEED A MIRACLE." And this is that miracle.

I tried different cleansers and such to combat what was happening on my face, and after much consideration, I've come to the conclusion that my skin is acting the way it is due to dryness. Luckily, I received a 500-point Boscia set from Sephora, which included a mini Tsubaki Beauty Oil. At this point, I was ready to try anything, and once i put this all over my face, I knew this would change my skincare routine FOREVER.

Review: Josie Maran Argan Infinity Cream

Hey guys! It has been such a long time since I've made a blog post. I thought I would have time to post, however my first semester of college got the best of me. I mean I did decently well, but I've just neglected my blogging duties. So now here I am :)

Okay, enough small talk. I am here to talk about this amazing product, the Josie Maran Argan Infinity Cream. As you can see in the picture above, it is in a tube format, so you can squeeze as little or as much product you want. On the back of the tube, it says:

Infused with Josie's 100% Pure Argan Oil, this therapeutic, creamy blend of essential fatty acids and vitamin E can be used in an infinite number of ways. This targeted multitasker instantly soothes and smoothes rough, chapped, or dry skin, while illuminating the complexion leaving skin aglow. 

Let me just say that this has been a life changing product for me. I have had the product for the last 6-ish months and I have at least a third of the product left. In the beginning, I didn't use the product sparingly, so I bet that this product will last at least a year. This cream has many uses, but I mainly use it to moisturize dry skin, especially my chapped lips. I think it is great to put it on at night, so your lips feel smooth in the morning. I also have dry-ish skin around my elbows, so putting the cream on it makes it feel so much more moisturized than just any lotion. This type of product is generally used to remedy dry skin, however I have also tried mixing the product with pigments. This can serve as a creamy eyeshadow type product, or even a lip product. 

I don't even know what to say, because I think this can be such a great skincare product to use everyyday. Because of its versatility and "multitasker" purposes, I cannot really pinpoint how this will serve you best. It is just an overall great product. 

Pros:

• Multitasking purposes: Great for skin, and other makeup uses, such as a lipstick or cream eyeshadow

Cons:

• It is a high end product, and there are probably cheaper alternatives

Overall Thoughts:

If you are looking for an extremely moisturizing product that has many different purposes, then I suggest that you buy this product. Yes, it is somewhat expensive, however the product will last a decently long time, and I assure you that your skin will thank you for adding it into your routine. 

Grade: A+

This product retails for $28 at Sephora and the Josie Maran website:

Daisy's Current Skincare Routine

Hello everybody! Long time no post! ... (lame blogger joke). Anyways, I know it's been a while since we've made a post on the blog but it's the beginning of a brand new school year and I've been busier than ever. Let's move on from my excuses and get down to what I really wanted to talk about today, skincare! 

Skincare is an essential part to my everyday life (and it should be yours as well!), morning and night. Now I'm a college student which include late nights, clubbing, partying, early morning wake ups, and the occasional zits and pimples that come with eating bad food and getting our monthly gifts. I've been through enough of those to know exactly how my skin reacts to each situation. Now I haven't found the perfect skincare routine so I'm still on the hunt for my holygrails. In my ventures, whenever I finish up the usual cleanser, toner, and moisturizer I like to buy new ones. There has never been a time, well that I can recall, that I've bought a skincare item consecutively...well maybe makeup wipes.

The skincare items that I'm going to mention are fairly new in the drugstore and I've been using them long enough to know whether or not I like it. So let's get started!

Daisy's June Fanvorites 2013

Welcome to the end of June and I'm here to bring you all my favorites of the month. June has been a pretty laid back month for me ever since school has ended in May and I've finished my freshman year at college. I have been buying new products here and there but I haven't tried them enough to really know if it was a favorite or not. So, I've been rediscovering some oldie but goodies makeup items in my collection. In the picture above are some beauty and non-beauty favorites that I was able to take a picture of and I will be mentioning some favorites that I could not photograph.
