Happy Friday!!!

I am so happy it's the weekend. It has been a VERY loooonngggg week at work.

Today I have a 5 on Friday to share with y'all. I might not have had any new outfit posts this week, but at least I got in a Wedding Wednesday and 5 on Friday. (My plan is to do these way more often. I actually have a decent amount of content for 5 on Friday.)

Today I'm doing a bit of a different format for 5 on Friday. I'm just going to share my top 5 picks for the 21 Days of Beauty sale going on at Ulta right now. 

So here ya have it my top 5 picks for the Ulta sale:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz 

(Saturday 3.23)

I know I said I would go back to my Revolution version but when it's 50% off I can't say no. 

Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream

(Thursday 3.28)

Tarte Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Pallet

(Friday 3.29)

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

(Saturday 3.30)

I don't use this anymore because of my lash extensions but this is HANDS DOWN my favorite eyeliner EVER!!

Laura Geller Spackle Mattifying Under Makup Primer

(Monday 4.01)

I've never used this but I'm in need of a new primer and I'm just not feeling the other primers in the sale. Will keep y'all posted on if I like this. 

There are so many good deals over the next 3 weeks. (These are just the things I'm buying or LOVE so much I have to share with y'all.) They have also been adding surprise sales each day in the late afternoon so keep an eye on your email. 

What are you looking forward to buying? 

April Glam Bag

Hey y’all!

Happy Tuesday.

Today I’m reviewing my April Glam Bag from Ipsy.

This month was overall a good one for me.

First off, I got another brush. If you’ve read my reviews before you know I love getting brushes because my brush game is seriously lacking. This month I got the Just Blending In Blending Brush from L.A.B 2 Live and Breath Beauty. It’s really soft and does its job perfectly!

My second favorite item in this bag was the Tarte Lipsurgence lip creme in Wonder. Y’all know I love my lip stuff (i.e. lipstick, stains, sometimes glosses, etc.) and this one is great. It packs a good amount of color and is really moisturizing.  The color is really pretty too. It’s not super bright and compliments my natural lip color really nicely.

The third item in this month’s bag was a concealer, and I will admit I was pretty skeptical. My first thought was a concealer could be really tricky, and coming in a monthly subscription just really scared me, but it surprisingly, it matched pretty well. I would say I’m blessed and cursed in the fact that I don’t have breakouts really (blessing) so the only place I use concealer is under my eyes because I have pretty bad dark circles (curse). The great cover up ultimate concealer by em cosmetics (in shade medium warm) is a little on the thicker side but blends perfectly with a beauty blender. This along with my new color correcting is perfecting for hiding my dark circles!

The fourth item I just recently tried because I thought it was regular lotion but was actually face lotion and I really like it. The Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream  by Ren Skincare is pretty great. It smells amazing and makes me feel like I’m at the spa. It is definitely a day cream meaning it’s not super hydrating. If you have dry skin, I would recommend using something else at night.

The last item I have not used. The Don't Despair, Repair! Gel-to-Oil Overnight Repair Treatment by Briogeo requires you to put it on at night and wash your hair in the morning. I am not a morning person so I RARELY wash my hair in the morning. If you try, it let me know what you think.

If you are thinking about a monthly subscription, I really recommend Ipsy.
Subscription boxes are a great way to try new products and learn about new brands. I also love that a few of my girlfriends get it so when we get things we don’t like or want we just switch. Another good idea is taking all the stuff you don’t want and give it to your mom or sister. (I’m keeping all my stuff in one of my bags and plan on giving it to my mom when I see her in a couple months.)
