Ipsy January 2018 Glam bag

About 3 months ago I signed up for Ipsy and I've been loving every product received. This month however I'm especially in love with the glam bag. I love bright colors and the texture of the bag is quite uniqe. Take a look at the products included:

NYX Lingerie professional lipstick - Lipli 05
Ciate London Fierce Flicks eyeliner
Andalou Naturals Styling Cream - Argan Oil & Shea
Purlisse Blue Lotus Seed mud mask and exfoliant
ABSOLUTE NEWYORK Eye Artiste eye shadow - AEAS04 Posse

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna

I absolutely love Fenty Beauty. So far I have only purchased the KillaWatt Freestyle Highlighter in the shade of Trophy wife and its powdered gold. Literally. I don't even want to ruin the impression of her logo as seen in the photo. This highlight pops like non other. I have used it on my brow bone, my cheek bone, my nose, my chest, and cleavage. I friggin' love that stuff. It is a bit pricey at $34 but if you have a Sephora club then it will come back to you in the form of free stuff.  

My next purchase will be the Limited Edition Galaxy Eyeshadow Pallette. I'm going to have so much fun with those colors.

Balmain is Dope AF!

Ok, I really didn't know much about Balmain only that Kanye West was really backing it. He and many other celebrities have given the House of Balmain new life. At first I was under the impression that Balmain was some new designer, a black man. I know, please don't judge me for my ignorance. Balmain has been around long before any of us were born. Since 1914 to be exact; and the black guy, Olivier Rousteing (really mixed race... like me yay), is a designer but not only a designer affiliated with Balmain, but the Creative Director since 2012. His work has been the heart beat of why Balmain is known among younger spirits. Thanks to Olivier Rousteing, Balmain has been mentioned in many rap songs... that says a lot. Here is a photo of his sexy self.



Now that we know what Balmain is and who Olivier Rousteing is can we regular people wear the clothes? The answer is no. The average person would not be able to comfortably afford the super cute designs. A "Logo print tank top" is $280.


We can all dream right? Save up those "Coints" ladies and gents if you really want the real Balmain because pieces range from $280 - $25,000. Check out one of the most expensive pieces for women...

So kudos to Olivier Rousteing. I can only imagine what the fabric feels like on my skin. LOL. Check out more pieces here: http://www.balmain.com/en_us/

Miracle Gel by Sally Hansen... does it really work?

I was excited about this nail polish from Sally Hansen. No light needed. I chose 2 colors. The first color I tried was #170 Pink Cadillaquer and #220 Pink Tank along with the top coat (in the black bottle) which pretty much seals the deal.

Pros: With a second coat there are no streaks. Does not take long to dry (about 1.5 minutes). I'm super busy so I needed a nail polish that would last. In my personal experience this polish lasted about 4 days without chipping. If you are not a busy person or not as hands on as I am it should last a couple more days.

Cons: Its still not as good as using a light. Not as shiny as a gel manicure but much better than using regular nail polish. Not much of a color variety at any one store. You have to go to a couple different stores to score the colors you want. The colors are a little dull but I guess dull is good if you have an office job. I'm waiting on glitter colors. I love glitter.

If you want to invest your money on good polish you should definitely purchase a couple bottles of this product. Each bottle runs between $9 to $12 depending on the store.
