Ipsy Bag: June '14

Hello there fellow bloggers, I'm back, from a very long hiatus. I just found myself not knowing what to write about, and sorting through some personal things in life. I'm going to slowly work my way back into blogging and getting posts up. Bear with me here! So, here is my June Ipsy Bag review. Can you believe it's already June!?

First of all I'd like to start off with saying how cute this bag is. One of my favorites so far, and overall my favorite bag so far. I can see myself using every product, and am very excited to. I have the original price of these products in parenthesis after the name. For $10 a month it's a bargain.

Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray ($3.25); I've never tried anything like this and I have annoying natural hair. It's the ugliest wavy thing you've ever seen, take my word for it. I am excited to try it though and see how it works. I'll do it on a day I don't plan on doing anything special in case it turns out horrendous.

Ole Henriksen Truth to Go Wipes 10 count ($9); I love makeup removing wipes! These make They are quite on the pricey side, so I'm not sure if I would ever purchase them. But, they smell so good. It's a familiar scent that I can't seem to remember. Anyway, I tried them and they made my face so soft and did a good job taking my makeup off. I give this two thumbs up!

Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner in Black ($5.99); Beware! When I opened up this eyeliner it exploded all over the place. I was lucky I didn't get it on any clothes or anything. After cleaning up the pen and reading some reviews, I just got a faulty one. I am so happy this is in black because that's the only color I wear. It applies nicely, is long lasting, and very pigmented. Besides the disastrous first impression, I like this product, and the price is right!

Be a Bombshell Mascara in Lash Out ($15); I needed some new mascara so I was happy about getting this. And then I opened it. Wand was nice, and it looked like a great product. Then the smell hit me. It smells horrible. Super chemically and just not good. I have sensitive skin and eyes, so I won't be trying this product in fear it might irritate my eyes.

Nyx Butter Gloss ($5); Unlike the mascara this smells amazing, and it feels super good on the lips. The color is fairly invisible once applied to the lips. The color is called Eclair. It's not sticky at all which is a must for me.


Overall, I was pleased with the items in the bad and only disappointed in one product!

1. What is your best summer memory as a kid?

Family reunions in McCall. Every single year my mom's whole side of the family goes to McCall in August. It's always been a tradition, and I love it so much. We have gone canoeing, horse back riding, watching meteor showers on our special rock, catching frogs, getting marshmallows and glow in the dark footballs stolen by foxes, jet skiing, boating, tubing, fishing, and so much more. Definitely always has been and always will be the highlight of my summers.

2. What is your favorite summer drink?

Lemonade!

3. What is your favorite summer TV show?

Uhh, I don't know actually! 

4. What is the best outdoor summer activity?

Fishing, camping, and going to the lake! 

5. What are your summer vacation essentials?

Camera! Aloe vera, sunglasses, sunscreen, and tank tops! 

I'm Alive, I Swear

If you haven't noticed, I've been horrible at this whole blogging thing lately. It's been almost 10 days... 10 DAYS PEOPLE. That is a sin of all sins here in the blogging community. But, what the heck, I have a life outside of the interweb. In all honesty though, I've been super swamped with finals and work and such, and I didn't feel any motivation to write. I'm back though! Semester is done, summer is near, and I'm excited! So what's new with me? I'll tell you because I have nothing else to write about (or do with my life, but shh let's not let everyone know I'm a loser)! I guess this also counts as a Five On Friday!

(one) The most exciting news of all... As of right now, my mom is tumor free! I cannot contain my happiness right now. Of course, she still has to go through her chemo, and she's only half way done, but still! It is so exciting. Take that cancer. YOU SUCK.

(two) We got a snake! We went to repticon, it wasn't all it was hyped up to be, and I probably won't be itching to ever go back, but we got a cute little ball python. His name is Kaa. Like, from the Jungle Book. Precious right? If you don't like snakes, scrolling quickly passed this next picture would be in your best interest. You're welcome.

(three) This morning when I walked into work, I got a not-so-pleasant surprise. I ordered 300 goldfish (we go through so many a week because people like to put them in their ponds) and I kid you not, THEY WERE ALL DEAD. So, I'll be out for a whole week. And not to mention, this is the second time this has happened with that certain vendor. I'm not happy with them right now. I'm also not happy because I ask for four boxes of large crickets and they gave me one. Waddaheck. So I'll be low this week. Bahhhh humbug.

(four) I got two beauty subscriptions this week. I was kind of hoping they would be spaced out so I would have something to open like every other week, but it didn't happen. This was my first month doing Glossy Box and then I also have Ipsy. Well, I'll be doing a review on both of these boxes here in the near future. But, I just have to say it and some of you will be shocked. I'm just not that into Glossy!

(five) I made my mom, sister, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law dream catchers, and I've really gotten the hang of it. So if you guys really want a tutorial, I might possibly be willing to make a video. EEK! Here is my mom's (left) and sister's (right). I forgot to get some of my other mom and sister's. Sad panda.

Happy Friday ya'll!
