Walmart Beauty Box : Spring 2016
Here’s another Walmart Beauty Box! They’re “free” ($5 shipping per quarter) and they now let you choose from one of two beauty profiles. They automatically chose “trendsetter” for me, since I was at the time under 30. The millennials, they love trends! I’ve gone on and on about why I love this box, but it really…

Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet : January 2016 : Sicker, Sad World
Notoriously Morbid is an indie beauty brand that gears their goods towards people who are a little on the morbid side. Products are typically titled after horror, fantasy and weird books, movies and TV. The Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet is a (rather hard to get) surprise sample bag that plays on a theme each month. The…

Mini-Haul from Ulta – Drugstore Makeup Brands
I splurged a little on some makeup, so naturally I had to tell the only people in my life who might care. 😉 NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm ($5.99) – So I tried this product in the past from ipsy, and I was really disappointed. The shade was all wrong from their website and…

ColourPop Cosmetics First Purchase
I finally broke down and made a very small order from ColourPop Cosmetics. For the unfamiliar, they’re a makeup brand based in L.A. that doesn’t test products on animals (I’m unclear whether they’re totally “cruelty-free” or not, but they do say that some of their products are vegan.) How cute is it that they handwrite…

Ipsy Review: August 2013
The Overall: Solid! I thought I’d be most excited about the Urban Decay lipstick, but the face mask won me over. This shipped fast (go DHL and your updated tracking page!) It came with a mascara, which I didn’t really need, but I was pleased, in general. As far as I can tell, the nail polish…

Ipsy Bag Review: May 2013
The Bag/Theme: VERY cute, loved that it was blues and orange. I’m not a fan of pink. The theme was “Spring Fling”, which I feel is a little late for the season and a very UGH phrase, anyway. This is the FIRST bag where they’ve confirmed that they chose products based on our website profiles. Under…

Ipsy Bag Review: April 2013
The Bag: This bag is a white textured material with a pink zipper, and a pink striped silk lining. I don’t think white bags and makeup mix well, so I probably won’t use this. Cute, though! Two Cosmetics Duo Eyeshadow in Heartache: I think pink eyeshadow is underused. These were two colours that didn’t seem…

Ipsy March 2013: Anchors Aweigh!
The Bag – Very cute nautical print, but it felt a little flimsy. Not sure how much I’d use this in my purse. I prefer slightly more durable bags because I’m pretty rough on my stuff! The Shipping – The tracking reports that they shipped the piece on the 6th, but I didn’t get the…
