June 2016 Ipsy Glam Bag: Rebel Rebel

Hello lovelies! On todays blog I present the June 2016 Ipsy Glam Bag! The them for this month is Rebel Rebel. This bag has an interesting fabric to it. It doesn't feel smooth like plastic but it has more cushion to it yet it's not thick. The print is also a graffiti print with multiple words associated with Ipsy and beauty. It's a cute bag but aesthetically not my favorite. 

As always, Ipsy comes with five beauty products that correlates with the beauty quiz you took before receiving the bag.

April & May 2015 Ipsy Glam Bag: Beautifully Bohemian & Jetsetter

I know I know, I need to stop being behind on my ipsy glam bags but I can't help it! Things pile up and honestly I just forget to post. So this month is going to be another double whammy (hope you all don't mind). By the way, HOW ABSOLUTELY CUTE ARE THESE BAGS?! The May Ipsy bag is by far my favorite! I'm currently using it as an everyday makeup bag.

For the month of April, Ipsy's theme was called Beautifully Bohemian. As always, each Ipsy bag comes with five products suited to your beauty quiz. If you want to find out what I received for the months of April and May click on read more!

Consenescere: Spending Time In Central Park & Home

*Near Strawberry Fields*

Over the past weekend I took a trip with two of my friends back home. We planned this trip a couple of weeks ago and I've been super excited because I haven't been home since August.  The bus we traveled on dropped my friends and I in New York City so we decided to spend a day roaming around and go to Central Park and Times Square. My other two friends hadn't been around the city as much as I had and so this was sort of a tourist experience for them. 

Here are some pictures we took at Central Park.

*Bethesda Terrace*

Outfit:

Maxi Cardigan - Urban Outfitters

Boyfriend's Tee - Forever 21

Gray Leggings - Cupio

Brown Boots (similar to mine) - Target

Makeup Standouts:

Foundation - Urban Decay Naked Skin

Eyes - Lorac MegaPro Palette

Lips - Black Cherry by Milani

*An awesome tunnel that I forgot the name of!*

One of my friends told me that I always get the awesome "hair blowing in the wind" pics...very true.

*Right outside of the tunnel*

Laura and I's favorite candid pic! Thanks Lauren for the picture! This picture is literally my favorite. 

*Sitting on a bench at the walkway towards Bethesda*

This beautiful leaf just fell onto my shoulders. I needed a picture of this!

*Again near Bethesda, the three of us*

One of my favorite group picture of us out of a bunch. There's a fantastic one of us where we look absolutely goofy but Lauren would not appreciate me posting it here :P

Trust me we had a lot of pictures between the three of us but these were our favorite. It was a beautiful day in Central Park and I couldn't have been more happier then to spend it with these two. This was also Laura's first time in Central Park and she loved it. 

We roamed around Central Park a little bit more before heading to Times Square. We were all super exhausted at that point and just wanted to get to my home. We met up with my mother at the Port Authority (she works in the city) and we all finally went to my house. 

My mom and dad made an epic meal and I had never been more happy than that moment of eating a home cooked meal. I was so happy to see my family after months and it made me feel sane again. 

Being in school felt so repetitive and lonely. Drama has been happening around the apartment and stress has been piling up. I not only needed this weekend but my friends needed this as well. It makes me humble and love my family even more. I love to be independent but nothing beats home.

*Me (wearing the shirt I bought for my brother who hates it), my sister, and the cutest dog in the world Pebbles. She even has her own hashtag on instagram #iamzepebbles*

My short and sweet weekend lifted my spirits. I can't wait until Thanksgiving and Christmas and the beauty of winter. I can't wait to be home for the holidays. 

I hope you enjoyed this post. It's something different for Amaryllis Living and I like it. I'll probably do more of these in the future. Until then!

Love Always,

Daisy

Lover.ly: Inspirations For An Autumn Wedding

Hello beauties and Happy Halloween! I hope you are all having a spooktacular day! But, as the weather turns a bit chillier and the leaves begin to fall to the ground, and love is in the air, what better time of year then to have a beautiful Autumn wedding. 

I love the fall season and the nice weather that it brings. People are falling in love, getting Pumpkin Spice lattes at their local Starbucks, and cuddling with their loved ones. Many, choose to have an Autumn wedding (I am definitely going to be that person) and brides are looking for inspirations on what to wear and how to wear their makeup. 

Although I'm single and would love a man to snuggle with, I do love to think about my future wedding from time to time. I was recently contacted by a representative (Hello Carolyn!) at Lover.ly (which is a website that helps with wedding planning and it is amazing! Brides, you should definitely check this website out) and was asked to create makeup inspirations for their beautiful gowns. 

So, challenge accepted! Click on read more and check out my makeup ideas for each wedding gown.

August 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag: My First Ever Ipsy Bag!!!

Hello everyone! Today, I am super super excited to talk about my first ever Ipsy Glam Bag! If you don't know what Ipsy is it is a beauty subscription box that has up to 5 items of deluxe beauty samples based off your beauty quiz that you take once you sign up for the box. This box is $10 a month with free shipping and depending on your state/country, you may get taxed. 

I had been wanting to be subscribed to Ipsy Glam bag ever since I first heard about it which was a while ago. I love to watch Ipsy Glam Bag unboxings on Youtube and I was always jealous of the amazing samples they received. So this year I decided to bite the bullet and shell out the $10 a month for this beauty bag. 

When you sign up you will be put on the waiting list unless you do a series of tasks that will take you off it. Basically, I recommended someone to get an account on Ipsy and I got enough Ipsy points to get off the waiting list and get my August Glam Bag. Once you're off, Ipsy will charge $10 to your bank account every first of the month. So on the first of August I was billed and then by August 11th my bag shipped.

Every month the Ipsy Glam Bag is based off of a theme. The theme for this month is "Beauty Schooled". I love the theme for this month because not only is it accurate but it's also cutely corny as well. 

The Ipsy Glam Bag came in this cute white and orange polka dotted circular pencil case pouch. It reminds me so much of my middle school and high school days. I mean I still do have a pencil case in college but it isn't as cute as this...wait well I lied it is Totoro (which cost me $18 in Disney World!) but it's still just nostalgic. 

The bag came with five beauty items and first impressions wise, I'm super happy with what I got in the bag because these are all things that I would have tried out on my own. For these posts, I'll talk about each item I received and give my own mini review on them.

So let's delve into this Glam Bag!
