November 2014 Ipsy Bag: Girl Meets Glitter

Hello everyone and welcome to another month of Ipsy! For this November month, the theme was Girl Meets Glitter which is very fitting for the upcoming holidays. The bag came in a silver glitter pouch with hot pink zipper lining. The bag was also in collaboration with Forever 21. 

The bag is okay in my mind but it's definitely not my favorite style out of all the bag I've received thus far. For some reason it kind of reminds me of Barbie and her accessories, lol I don't know why but it does...does anyone else think this way? Hehe, anyways as per usual the bag comes with five personalized beauty items and of course I took a sneak peek in the glam room and was super pleased to see the items that I got.

So if you want to see the beauty items that I got in my bag this month, please click on the read more!

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.

February Drugstore Makeup Find Of The Month: Real Techniques, NYC, & Wet N' Wild

Hello everyone and welcome back to another makeup find of the month! Hurray for the consistency. February is almost over and I found some interesting things at the drugstore that I would like to share. 

First up is this Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I've been wanting this for a while and when it first came out, I couldn't find it anywhere! After months and months since its been out I finally found it at Ulta, the only one left in the stand, and I grabbed it and bought it. 

I was super excited to finally own it because from what I've heard it's a pretty comparable dupe to the beauty blender. Now, I don't own the beauty blender but I hope to one day but this sponge is a much cheaper alternative. This only retails for $6! It was practically a steal.

As you can see this sponge has a much different shape from the beauty blender. It has a flat edge which it says helps with contouring around the eyes and nose. The sides of it blends large areas of the face and the tip covers imperfections (thank god for the diagram on the back of the packaging). 

So far, this is an absolutely amazing sponge. You have to damp it to get its full effect and I was so amazed at how much bigger the sponge got once it was wet. Its twice the size from the original! It feels super nice on my skin and my foundation looks ten times better applied with this. I've really only used it for my foundation and haven't tried contouring with it or anything but so far so good! If you want a good quality beauty sponge I suggest you pick up this one!

The next beauty item I got at the drugstore this month is the NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color.

Daisy's July Favorites 2013

It is the end of June and of course I have my July favorites! July was an amazing month because we (Jalisa and I plus family and friends) went on a cruise vacation to the Bahamas! Technically it was during the last week of June but the vacation went on to the first week of July because we went to Orlando and I finally got to visit Universal Studios and Islands Of Adventure! Anyways, all that fun stuff will be in the Consenescere section of our blog very soon. After our vacation week, I've just been getting over my crazy tan and rediscovering some old but good makeup products. I've also been watching new shows, listening to good music, and loving youtubers.  So let's get on to my favorites.
