Fall Style Favorites

Gorgeous Gold Open Face Ring HERE // Edgy Boho Crystal Earrings HERE // Photographer Honeyseed Photography HERE

I am obsessed with fall you guys! I love everything about it! Give me all the pumpkins, layers, hot chocolate, leaves, apple cider, smells, colors- EVERYTHING. Seriously. It is my favorite season and it just makes me freaking happy. So far I have made the cutest halloween wreath, decorated for halloween including my fave yoga skeleton (literally a skeleton doing yoga! it's amazing), gone to a pumpkin patch with my family, got all the pumpkin spice smellies for my car, made pumpkin chocolate chip treats, and started adding to my fall wardrobe! 

Getting out my fall/winter clothes box is one of my favorite days of the year hahah but really- I wish I was joking hahaha. Getting out all my ankle booties, solid color layering shirts, jackets, coats, and cardigans made me soooo happy! I only wish this denim jacket would have been apart of it...This denim jacket is my sisters and I am on the search for the most perfect denim jacket to add to my closet! So if you know where to find one- let me know! She found this one at TJ Maxx and I am soooo jealous. These are SO in right now and perfect for year round! I am also loving all the ruffle and embroidery tops! YES. This is one of my new  ruffle sleeve tops and I love how edgy adding the denim jacket made it! That's what I love about layering! It can change the style of one item SO much and there are so  many ways to wear things! With fall I feel like you get double the outfits because of how much layering changes things! 

I am all sorts of heart eyes over these gorgeous 2 part earrings and that ring! These earrings are seriously everything! I've been wearing them every chance I get! I love them because I can dress them up or dress them down! So versatile! And this rings is SO in style right now! I love the little details on it- it really completes the outfit! I got them both from 7 Charming Sisters-- remember my amazing necklace from this post and this post? Yep ALL of them are from the same place. Such amazing cute and affordable jewelry that your clothes will love you for! If you haven't checked it out yet you HAVE to! And I happen to have a discount code for you down below!

Current Fave Five Beauty Products

Tarteist Pro Glow Highlight & Contour Palette
If we are friends on Snapchat you may have seen me post about this palette like 5 times before and seen a little tutorial I did. Well, THIS IS IT YOU GUYS. THE PALETTE OF ALL PALETTES. Like, probably my favorite beauty purchase EVER. It comes with 4 highlighting shades (powder)  and 2 contour shades (1 powder, 1 cream). Once again, this is perfection. I have used it every single day since I purchased it and will continue to do so until I have to buy another one. It is worth the money! I have used all the colors, they stay on throughout the day, easy to blend, light weight, pigmented, and it smells so good!!
Side Note **Brushes are important! They can change how well the product does or does not blend SO much! I went and bought a contour brush from TJ Maxx and it changed my life, before I was using one from ELF and it just wasn't giving me a natural blended look. Also beauty blenders are everything!

Too Faced Natural Eyes Eye Shadow Collection
I got this gorgeous eye shadow palette from my cute sister for Christmas and I LOVE it. Urban Decays Naked Palette has been my #1 go to since Freshman year of college and a lot of my most favorite colors I used in that pallets are similar to ones in this palette! I was impressed with how well and easy they blend and how long they lasted! I really like the light weight yet pigmented formula of these shadows and love how many shimmer ones they have! Definitely comparable to UD Naked Palette!

Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil 
This is my first "higher end" brow pencil I have tried! I used to use NYX Brow Powder then tried one of Loreal's Brow Pencils and I  just wasn't a huge fan of either of them because they smudged easily and didn't last very long. So I went to Ulta and was deciding between this and the Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil which I've heard great things about. I chose this one because I liked the shape of the pencil and have always been a fan of Benefit Cosmetics formulas. I have really been pleased with this pencil because it is waterproof, lasts all day long, and doesn't smudge! My brows look so natural and it is so easy to use! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is knew at doing brows or nervous about spending this much money on a brow pencil! It really is "goof proof" and easy to shape my brows with! I'll probably try the Anastasia one after this one is gone to compare the 2!

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination 
I got this as a sample from Sephora and loved it! All of the It Cosmetics products I have tried have definitely been some of my favorites. I love that their products are good for your skinned have anti aging/color correcting benefits. This is my first higher end concealer that I've tried and it is great! Full coverage, waterproof, never creases, and anti-aging- everything I would want in a concealer. I see a HUGE difference using this under my eyes compared to my Maybelline Studio and Glamaflouge concealer.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Mascara
I used my points on Ipsy to get this full size mascara for Free- you guys- Ipsy is SO worth it, I can't say it enough! I don't know why everyone doesn't sign up for it. Anyways- this mascara is great! I love the brush so much! It is great at separating my lashes- which is a huge thing for me.  Yay for great mascara! But I think I still prefer  It Cosmetics Hello Lashes  because I just haven't found a mascara that gives my lashes more volume and length than that one does!!

October Beauty Review

I've been watching makeup reviews and tutorials like CRAZY around here! I really am loving learning about beauty products and different ways to apply makeup and things to try. I feel like I've seriously been doing it ALL wrong my whole life! Haha! I've always loved makeup, I was always just scared to buy them and not like them wether it was a drug store product or high end product I just didn't want to chance it! I found out some stores actually are great about letting you return the product if you still have the packaging and receipt with you which is bomb!  I just feel like I've been blind to all the awesome products that are out there and different techniques there are! I'm just beginning this whole makeup-loving-passionate-try-knew-things stuff and I'm really loving it!

Okay I'll start off with my FAVE product of the month! BECCA Blushed with Light Palette  is AMAZING YOU GUYS. This is my first ever blush palette I've ever purchased so I was super stoked and felt kind of sophisticated and like the real deal. Ha! This is a Limited Edition palette and I 10/10 recommend it! It came with  2 best selling colors Luminous Blush in Snapdragon (coral) and Mineral Blush in Songbird (peachy pink) and a new shade Wisteria (delicate rose w/neutral warm overtones). It was a $77 value for $34 so I couldn't pass it up! Not to mention the "details" section on Ulta.com will convince you to get it so fast. I have yet to try Snapdragon, but the other 2 colors are a dream! They blend super well, they are easy to apply, and they are buildable! Go get it while you can!!

The first time I tried a face primer (a NYX one)  I ended up HATING it! The one I tried felt like sunscreen and I stopped using it after like 4 times cause I couldn't handle it.  Instead I used moisturizer or a face serum before applying makeup to help my foundation go on more smooth. I have really dry skin on my nose and chin and so those 2 things helped, but my makeup wasn't super smooth and lasting as long as I wanted. I really wanted to find a primer that worked for me.  Lorac I'm So Sensitive Soothing Face Primer  was recommended to me from Ulta and it is a GAME changer! It is more like a super soft, thin, lotion than what the typical primer is! It is really moisturizing and my makeup has gone on so much better and smoother! Super happy with this purchase, definitely worth the money plus you get more of it for a cheaper price than most of the other high end primers out there! The only complaint I have is I don't love the smell of it.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner- I have heard nothing but positive things about this eye liner! I was planning on going to buy it because of all the great reviews I've read and heard from everyone but I ended up getting it in my Ipsy Bag! WIN! I've been practicing a lot with this one lately and really like it! Comparing it to my EYEKO one I posted about last month, I feel like they are pretty similar but this one is less pigmented and I sometimes have to go over it a few times to get the jet black, but it's not really a huge complaint and I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Even if you are a beginner, because I definitely was and you have to start somewhere! BUT a friend told me that Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in1 is a dupe! So i'll probably purchase that one next and compare them!

NUDESTIX Concealer Pencil - This was my first time trying cream concealer and I am a fan! It's a super soft formula and very pigmented! Very easy to blend and is infused with moisturizing ingredients which I am a mega fan of. But, truthfully I've been reaching for my Maybelline FaceStudio Master Concealer more frequently than I have this one!

Noyah Lipstick in Smoke-  I had never heard of this brand before but I'm definitely a fan! This company uses natural formulas to hydrate and moisturize your lips. This color is not one I would have ever picked out for myself but I ended up LOVING it! Such a fun grey-lavender color that looks good with everything! It has a semi-matte finish and lasts for a few hours which is always a plus! It doesn't moisturize like a gloss would but it wasn't as drying as other matte lipsticks I've tried.  It comes off on my water bottle when I'm drinking but not enough to where I'm worried I would have to reapply it, worry about tit getting on my teeth, or smear on my lips. Definitely have my eye on their color  "Currant".

September Beauty Review

Last month I set some goals for myself to become a better and happier me. One of those goals was to become more knowledgeable about beauty products- applying them, different brands yotta yotta yotta. I have really tried to expand my makeup and hair product vocabulary. And by vocabulary I mean brands, prices, makeup dupes, must have products, different ways to apply it etc.

Growing up I mostly used drug store products because #broke #nomoney #noknowledge #safezone. I would rather spend $10 on a foundation and hate it rather than $50 which I'm sure many of you can relate to. But, for the most part I believe in the "you get what you pay for" philosophy so I've slowly converted over to more high end products. But sometimes I'm still a chicken. That's one of the reasons I tried out Ipsy and joined Influenster. I wanted to try new products to get a feel of which brands I liked and which ones I didn't care for (again, not being paid to say all this stuff, I just really think they are great!) I really also just LOVE trying new products, finding ones that I love, and sharing them!

So instead of just doing monthly Ipsy Glam Bag posts I'm going to change it up a bit and do Beauty Reviews on ALL the products I try or love! I'm also going to start adding in recommendation sections, dupes, and all that jazz. I'm not a beauty guru, but I am starting to learn more about being fabulous so that counts for something, right?

EYEKO Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner in black- This is my first liquid eyeliner I have ever tried! It is "online only" at Ulta and a "crazy-popular" item, which now I totally get why! Waterproof, easy to use, very pigmented, and features widelash enhancer. LOVE LOVE LOVE, it lasts me all day long and has a perfect precision tip. Now I just need to get better at applying it. Tips welcomed! Ha!

Eva NYC Dry Conditioner- Dry shampoo= best thing on earth. Dry Conditioner= I was confused. It has great reviews on all the websites I've looked at but I'd never heard of it. It's said to seal and soften the cuticle, and enhance shine and moisture. It smells amazing but I honestly have not used it a ton because I love the way my hair feels after dry shampoo- more textured, rather than this conditioner which makes it soft.

BellaPierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow - I Loved this mineral blush! It feels so light and smooth! Super pretty color that has a shimmer and glow to it! I sometimes use is as a bronzer  because of the brown tones in it. I definitely will be purchasing this in other colors.

Perfekt Liquid Gold Illuminating Perfector  So first off I have to say that I got this full size $30 product for FREE from using my Ipsy Rewards (if you review products, you get points). So that was dope. And I was stoked to try this because lately I am obsessed with highlighters and anything with a shimmer. I've heard such great things about this brand so I was excited to try this.  I mix this in with my normal lotion after getting out of the shower and it leaves a really pretty glow all over! You don't have to mix it with something else, but I felt like I could make it last longer this way! You can use it on your face, skin, and even as a leave in conditioner for your hair. It seriously is just a gorgeous product, yes I said gorgeous and I mean it. It feels amazing as is a 10 in 1 lotion.

Japonesque Liquid Light - Like I said before- I am a sucker for illuminating products lately. I also got this for FREE from Ipsy rewards which always makes me so excited! This is AWESOME. I have used it as my blush and as my highlight on my cheeks/nose/forehead. It is great! A super pretty, light, shimmer that leaves a pretty natural glow!

Influenster: Formula X VoxBox and $160 worth of FREE

This last month I received Influenster's Formula X VoxBox! I received the Delete All 5 Finger Nail Polish Remover,  The system XCEL Customizable Gel-Like Nail Polish Set , and the Formula X Nail Polish in TGIF.  I love doing my nails and I love getting my nails done even more. These products claimed to be a 4-step  at home gel manicure that's supposed to last up to 10 days. I've tried a few other "gel manicures" without the UV lamp and have never been sold on any of them so I was excited to try this!


Delete All Polish Remover- An intensive nail polish remover that's supposed to remover even your toughest polishes.  It has 5 holes for each of your fingers and you're supposed to be able to put them in with nail polish on and take them out with nail polish gone. Fastest nail polish remover i've EVER tried. I love it! The first time I tried it I even had glitter on my nails! It took about 2 times putting it in for 100% of my nail polish to be gone and it literally took me like 30 seconds total. The only thing I did not love about the product was that it isn't specific to just your finger nails so my skin gets that "acetone" feel on it that no one likes.  I would definitely purchase this product again! I'm curious to how long it is going to last me and if the sponge is going to get disgusting from all the nail polish removing. So for now it gets a 9/10 from me.

Gel-Like Nail Polish Set- 4 step manicure set to extend Formula X nail polish up to 10 days. The set comes with a Cleanser, Primer, Polish, and Shiner. You can purchase the colors on their own and use them like normal polish, or buy the set to make it last longer. I did not like the brushes used for the Cleanser or the primer. They separate when I am applying them and make it hard to control where it goes and I have to do more coats than necessary. It was really frustrating.  The color and shine applicators are great and didn't give me any problems. They were easy to maneuver and I felt like I had control. The first time I tried this my nails literally had chips the NEXT day! I was super bummed because I had high hopes for this product. After only 4 days I removed them because they looked terrible. I decided to give it another try last night and used it again because I'm hoping it was just 1 bad experience and that it will be different this time. I'm on day 2 and it really is just like any other polish I own.  I love the color and really like that it has multiple steps to follow because I feel like I am doing a little "extra" but I really feel like  I'm doing extra steps just for normal 1 step polish. There hasn't been any big wow factor for me that would persuade me to just use this brand of polish unless round 2 lasts up to 10 days this time. As of right now I would give this product a 5/10.

So, how have I gotten $160 worth of products in the last 3 months for FREE from Influenster? I'll tell you. For some reason I really LOVE trying new products and I LOVE reviewing products. With influenster it was a win win. I'd read up on it a lot before I decided to sign up. Basically I learned that you connect your profile to ALL your social media accounts so they can see how much "influence" you will have. You review products online and when a VoxBox comes available and you seem like a good fit for it (from the previous products you have reviewed) they will send you an email to do a survey.  You fill out the survey they send you and they analyze your responses to decide if you would be a good candidate to receive the box. If you are, you fill out your mailing address and then you wait for the box to come! Once you get the box you have to "sign it in" saying you got the box and then you have to do different tasks like posting on Sephoras beauty board, writing reviews not he products you received and sharing them to your blog, instagram, twitter ect. It takes time, but I really enjoy doing it so it's not hard for me at all!
I heard that it was really hard to get boxes but I have gotten 1 box each month since I signed up! I have LOVED doing it! You get more chances of getting a box by being involved! Asking and answering questions, writing reviews on all different types of products ect. It's so much fun and you don't have to pay anything! Just dedicate some time to write product reviews and you get rewarded with awesome stuff! All 3 of the boxes I have gotten have been in the beauty category because those are mostly the products I review! They have all sorts of boxes available each month! After my first VoxBox Campaign I even got an extra free gift- the Covergirl Naked Pallet because they liked all of my posts and reviews. It's awesome!

August Makeup Review

Secret Garden Ampoule Masks by Sally's Box-  1 Olive oil mask and 1 Camellia Oil mask. I don't love facial masks because they make me feel disgusting while I have them on so I haven't used them yet. I get worried I'm going to break out or that it's going to make my skin dry. This one claims to be a moisturizing mask so I might need to give it a try. 

12-IN-ONE AMAZING LEAVE-IN TREATMENT by IT HAIR CARE- This product claims to Gets rid of 1. Frizz 2. Tangles 3. Brittle ends / Adds 4. Body 5. Shine 6. Health / Repairs 7. Dry hair 8. Damaged hair / Protects 9. Color-treated hair 10. Against heat 11. Against split ends 12. Against breakage.  I LOVED this product!  Probably one of my top 10 fave Ipsy products I have received. The biggest thing I have noticed since using this is that my hair feels healthier and is less frizzy! I will definitely purchase this product again! I put it on when my hair is wet after I shower and sometimes I put a little in my hair at night when it's dry.
My rating: 10/10. 

I-LINE 24-7 Eyeliner in Black Magic by Beauty For Real- This eyeliner really does stay on 24-7 and I love it for that reason! It is really pigmented and doesn't smudge easily. At the same time that sucks because when I'm applying it it dries SO quickly and if I make a mistake it is hard to fix. I have about 10 seconds where I can use one of my makeup brushes to smudge/shape my liner but after that I have to get creative. The point isn't as small as I prefer so it's usually a lot thicker than I prefer. I have liked this eyeliner better than my usual Covergirl Perfect Point, but I'm not sure if I'd buy it again because it's so hard to shape! 
My Rating: 7/10

You Glow Girl Highlighter by OFRA- I love getting highlighters from Ipsy.  I have loved all of the ones I have gotten and this one did not disappoint! I feel ike you can't go wrong with a highlighter though. It lasts most of the day and has a pretty pink shimmer to it! I have no complaints about it! I have gotten a few other OFRA products from them and have liked them all. I would definitely buy this highlighter again! 
My Rating: 9/10

Pain Pot in Spinning Teacups by Ciate London- I really liked the formula of this product as well as the brush! Super easy application and I only needed 2 coats which surprised me since it's such a light shade.  It has stayed on fairly well for the past week- comparable to other nail polishes I've used. I didn't personally love the color but I would be interested in trying this brand again!
My Rating: 7/10 (mostly because of the color)

I seriously LOVE getting an Ipsy Glambag every month! I get to try so many different brands and products for only $10 a month! I would recommend it to everyone and anyone! Some of these products are $10 just by themselves and you end up getting 5 of them!

July Makeup Review

* Sorry for the font/sizing inconsistency it literally will not save it any other way*

This definitely wasn't one of my best Glambags that I've gotten because I have only used 2/5 of the products.  Usually I end up using all of them but this time I will probably only use 3-4/5.  But the products that I have used I REALLY like and most of the products I received were full size.

Show Me Your Cheeks Blush in Peach Pink- This is my first Elizabeth Mott product I have tried! This has become my favorite blush! I love this perfect summer color and that it has an iridescent finish to it! It lasts longer than a lot of my other blushes have. I would definitely purchase again, worth the price!

My Rating: 10/10

Delectable Lemon & Cream Ultra Nourishing Hand Cream by Delectable by Cake Beauty- This was one of my full size products that I got in my Glambag! This is my second product from Delectable by Cake and I really like their products. You can pick this brand up at Target which I love. Lemon isn't normally a scent I would buy, but I ended up really liking it! It wasn't too strong and it was really sweet. They have other yummy flavors like Vanilla  or Coconut so I probably would have chosen one of those instead!  I keep this one in my purse with me at all times, it's a perfect size! This lotion is super nourishing and didn't leave my hands feeling greasy! Worth the price, but it is comparable to other lotions so the reason I would purchase it again would be if I loved the other smells!

My Rating: 8/10

Meet Matt(e) Trimony Eyeshadow in Matt Moskowitz- I have not yet tried this product and I don't think I will because 1) I am not a huge fan of theBalm cosmetics, I have gotten a few samples from Ipsy and have ended up giving them away. 2) I am not a fan of this share, and I like my eyeshadow to have shimmer in it. 

OFRA Cosmetics Lip Liner in Silk- I got this as a full size product. I have not used this product yet either. have never worn lip liner in my life. I have never found it necessary and never bought any to try. This shade is really pretty and would look nice with some of my lipsticks I have but I will definitely have to google youtube videos and instructions on how to use it haha. 

Luxie Beauty Small Angled Eye Brush I got this as a full size product. I have not yet used it. I have another brush exactly like it so it hasn't been necessary. I like receiving different makeup brushes from Ipsy because I've gotten to try tons of different tools I have never tried! This is the first one I haven't used immediately!

Ole Henriksen VoxBox Review

My face is complicated. In the past few months I have tried SOOO many different face washes, primers, moisturizers and I just can't find combinations that take all my problems away. My nose is SUPER dry and can get really red and blotchy. When I put foundation on it looks awful and just creates a while new problem. The rest of my skin is pretty normal though. Not too oily, not too dry, a few zits here and there but manageable. But it is so frustrating. I hate spending lots of money on face products because I don't want it to end up not working, you know? I usually purchase sample sizes if possible, but still! This last month I received my 2nd VoxBox from Influenster in the mail and it was an answer to my make-up loving prayers. I got the Ole Henriksen box that came with 3 different products,  FOR FREE*. I am in LOVE and you will be too.

The first product that I used was Power Bright  It is a 3-step brightening system for dullness, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. I personally have never have never noticed if my skin fell into any of those categories but figured I would give it a shot! I don't LOVE masks because I do not like things touching my face especially if it is sticky or thick, so I usually just stay away from them but I'm glad I tried these ones!The first thing I noticed was how SOFT and smooth my skin was after! It was DRASTIC! The first thing you put on is a sugar scrub- this one made me go crazy because it was SOOO sticky haha. The next one is a thick clay mask that kind of would burn if I had any zits but it wasn't unbearable. The next one is a gel that actually felt really great and cooling. My skin has been consistently softer  after using this product for the past 3 weeks and I have loved it. I don't think I would ever purchase it again though just because I am not much of a "mask" person and it takes about 30 minutes to complete the whole process and I am not patient.

Now lets talk the Sheer Transformation Moisturizer. My face was in heaven. This product is supposed to be used for dryness, darkspots, uneven texutre/skintone. Let me tell you, there was an instant difference after using it once. Hands down the best and most effective moisturizer I have ever used in my life. #notbeingdramatic It is amazing. My skin feels instantly drenched in moisture, dramatic word choice but the only one that I could come up with to explain how amazing it is. I have used it every single night and have finally found the solution to my dry problematic nose. I will definitely be purchasing this product after this one is gone. It is pricey..... but to me it is worth it to finally have my makeup going on smooth like I've always wanted and saying goodbye to my flakey nose. It is so moisturizing I only have to use a little to feel satisfied. This product is a 10/10.

Every morning before I apply my makeup I put on this Truth Serum. It is used as a solution for fine lines/wrinkles, uneven texutre/dullness, and elasticity. I think this product is another reason why my make-up has been going on so much better these days! I have been using it kind of like a primer and apply it right before my foundation. I have tried different serums and primers that made my face feel sticky and thick and I hate that. This one feels refreshing and smells incredible. This product gets a 10/10 as well and I am going to strongly consider buying it again.

I love that these products are good for oily, dry, and normal skin. I don't know if I necessarily recognized the "brightness" of my skin or my skin becoming firmer, but the dryness and blotchiness I have had for years now has finally gone away! I am so glad I got to try these products! They are ones I normally wouldn't have thought of splurging for, but now I know how amazing they are and that they are worth the price! I will probably just purchase the moisturizer and see if it is just as effective by itself!

Bailey

June Makeup Review

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Lounge: I love Urban Decay Eyeshadows. For the past 3 years I have ONLY used their Naked Pallet because it is my absolute favorite. UD shadows go on SO smoothly and blend so well, not to mention they last longer throughout the day compared to others I have tried.  I was excited when I found out I was getting this eye shadow in my Ipsy Bag. It is multifaceted which means it changes shades in the light which is way awesome. I would have never picked this shade out for myself, but I was excited to try it with a more smoky look on me! It is more on the pricier side but if they had these in a pallet I would be willing to splurge because of the quality of the products!
My rating: 7/10

Seraphine Botanicals Happy Hibiscus Blush: I love getting blushes from Ipsy. They have all consistently been full size products! This shade is a pretty sheer rose and they claim it lasts 8 hrs. I like the shade and have been using it a lot since I got it! It has a shimmer to it which makes blushes 10x better. But can I just mention I got this $18 product in my $10 Ipsy bag? WIN.
My rating: 9/10

Hey Honey 24Seven: Day & Night Revitalizing Cream:  So I have not used this product yet because I have some other facial products I am currently using. But I have received 2 other Hey Honey products from Ipsy before so I am excited to use them altogether to get a better effect. I don't love the smell of these products so that's why I haven't been super super eager to try them yet! I've read good things about them though.
My rating: TBA

Doucce Bombastic Lash Volumizer Mascara: I LOVE getting mascaras from Ipsy! I have gotten one almost every single month for the past 4 months. This one has a thickening formula and a nice thick wand. This one goes on very thick and really does add a ton of volume but it is hard to shape my lashes so I have had to use my other mascara wands to shape them. I usually use 2 different wands anyways so it is not a problem, I just wish it went on a little better! Worth the price!
My rating: 8/10

Delectable By Cake Everything Balm: Okay, how awesome is this!? Moisturizes skin, repairs cuticles, seals split ends, brightens dark circles, tames eye brows, softens lips... it literally does EVERYTHING. Click on the link and it will show you all the things it can be used for. This is one I will TOTALLY purchase again in the future! Worth the price, I have loved this product and use it all the time!
My rating: 10/10

Influenster: Covergirl VoxBox

 *I received this months Covergirl VoxBox from Influenster free for testing purposes*

Sorry if you follow me on IG and are getting annoyed by my Super Sizer Fiber mascara posts. But I'm actually not sorry because you ALL need to try this mascara! SERIOUSLY. I received this and this  in my Covergirl VoxBox and was SUPER impressed. Ready to talk mascara, fibers, and eyeliner? Go:

First, let's talk mascara. I love a good mascara, who doesn't? I like my lashes looking long, full, and fabulous. Through High School and college I tried a few different mascaras and the Covergirl Lashblast mascara was ALWAYS my go to. I felt like I got the shape and look that I wanted from it. I tried a few other ones but this one was my all time fave and I wore it all through college because I decided it was just the best. Then in October I became a member of Ipsy (best thing ever, post soon to come) and have gotten 4 different mascaras sent to me from Smashbox and It Cosmetics that I have loved! It Cosmetics Hello Lashes  mascara is my all time favorite. It is literally a gift sent from Heaven. Best mascara I have ever used hands down. I even made my mom and sister go get it at Ulta! But, I don't necessarily LOVE the price. It is worth it, but if I didn't have to spend that much for a mascara I wouldn't.

Now let's talk fibers. I honestly haven't had much experience with "fiber mascara" and "fiber" products before because I didn't want to spend the money and be disappointed. Plus I thought some of them made girls eyelashes look "spidery" and "clumpy". My aunt bought me Essence Volumize Lash Powder a few years ago and I was a big fan, and it's super cheap! I used this on and off but didn't always have the patients to go through all the steps of mascara, fibers, then mascara.  It made my eyelashes look great, but sometimes it was such a hassle to do all of that.

Eyeliner- I'll be honest, 98% of the time I have only used Covergirls Perfect Point Plus- the one I actually received in my VoxBox! Ha ha. So obviously I loved it since it is the one I have always used! I usually wear it in black but they sent me it in Espresso which I really have loved! I just have been nervous to try other eyeliners because I didn't want to spend money for something I didn't even use!  I got sent 2 eye liners in my Ipsy Glam Bag and I just didn't like them and felt like they didn't go on smooth or I couldn't get the right shape. I also think I tried a liquid one one time and didn't like the way it felt... If I tried other eyeliners I probably would find another one I like but why fix something that's not broken? So Perfect Point Plus gets a 10/10 for me. Willing to take other eyeliner suggestions though.

Now time to pull all of this together--I was super stoked when I got chosen for Covergirl's VoxBox and received the new Super Sizer Fiber mascara! I tried it and I love it! That whole process I used to go to to get lashes I love I can now do with 1 mascara and it's at an affordable price! I LOVE IT. Have I said that all ready? You don't regret buying it. The only negative thing I have to say about it is it's difficult to remove! I've found that coconut oil and other oil based makeup removers do the trick! But it takes little bit longer and I have to be a little more aggressive with just my face wash.

XOXO,
