Is This a Ipsy Bag Gem?

Hey guys! So my little sister gets the monthly Ipsy bag! An Ipsy Bag is a monthly subscription that cost ten dollars a month. You get awesome trial sizes that last a lot longer then just one time! I am still trying to decide if I want to get myself one or not so until then I just steal things from hers! Okay So i don't really "steal them" considering the fact that she only wants the skin cleaners from it anyways! So this month I wanted to try her benefit KA-BROW!  but instead of trying it on me I wanted to try it on her. Poor girl is going to hate me at the end of this!

So this is how it looks in the package still. It has a very adorable little package and a little detail paper attached to it. I love the whole magic theme it has with it and on the back of the page it shows all of the brow product there is. It says it comes in six different colors, but i'm not to sure what color we have.


So I placed it by a quarter for you to be able to see the size of the trial. Keep in mind the little brown pot at the bottom is how much of the KA BROW you get. Here is also a picture of it taken all apart for you to be able to see what it all looks like.


Time To Try!

Okay so her is my sisters brows before the lovely stuff placed onto them. I have never really tried to use stuff on brows so please excuse how jacked up this will probably look!! Okay so here we go!

Okay so this is with one brown done. I know it looks terrible! But it seems to go on pretty good. It's a little tricky getting it out of the tub but it glides on easy.


Here is both brows done and they so don't match but I feel I did so much better on the second one considering i knew what to do that time! They do seem to fill the brows in so good! She said you could barely feel it on there so it didn't feel like clown paint which is a plus! I had her go wash her face and she said she needed to scrub to get them off.

Final Opinion!
Her opinion on it was that personally she doesn't do make up so that isn't something she would use but if she did she would for sure have it in her make up daily bag! I found it easy to apply so that is a huge plus! I need more practice with it but it's something I want to learn more on how to use! I love the color and how it matches very well with the brows!

A Mans Shaving Balm as Primer?!?!?

Hey guys! I have been hearing about using a post shave balm as a primer for a few weeks now. I wasn't sure what to make out of it since thats not what it's made to do. After a few weeks of considering (and finally running out of my own primer) I decided to get the balm. I bought it while getting this weeks groceries with my husband. He didn't notice what it was at first but the looked at me like I was crazy when we started putting everything away. I laughed and told him what is was for and he replied with "It's your life" and walked away. I believe he thinks I have lost my mind!


 For starts it is cheaper then any primer I have ever used which is a plus! It looks to be alot more for your money as well which is another bonus considering I was spending a lot on a little bit! My usual spending for primer was roughly $12. This bottle of it only cost me $6! It is located in the shaving section of Walmart. It did feel weird buying it because I felt like people looked at me weird at first. So my main concern is the smell. I truly do not I want to go walking around smelling like a guy all day.  Plus if it really works or did I buy this to sadly use on my legs after I shave?

Time To Try!

Okay So Here is how It looks outside Of the box. Like I said it is alot more for your money because I feel like I would only use a tiny bit of this to mash my face. There is a "men smell" to it but it is not overly strong in the bottle which is a good sign for me.

Opps I thought the bottle was full of the product but come to find out it's a white bottle lol. It's still prety full of the product.


I am only going to use a tiny amount to see how it works. If I need to I will add more.
Okay so I put it on and it felt really sticky at first. The smell pretty muuch left right after I put it o so thats a huge plus! I'm going to let it dry and apply my face now. I don't know why the ligthing decided to make my face look like I have dirt all over it but I promise I dont!



Okay so Here it is with all the make up on! So it doesn't feel heavy or to thick like some primers do. It leaves my face looking smooth and not like I have coats of powder on which is a plus as well. It seems to work very well so far. I am going to have it on all day today so I will be able to tell you my over all opinion a little later.

6 hours later.....

Okay so apparently I have very oily skin. This stuff makes my face shine and double oily :/. But it does hold tall my make-up on VERY well! I just hate how it makes my oily face appear double oily! Not a cute thing if you ask me.

Final Opinion!
I love the fact that it helps my make up stay on so well. I wish my skin wasn't so oily though so I could love it even more. I'm going to use thid product a little longer because I am out of primer but after I am able to buy myself more primer I will not be using it unless I can figure a way to with my oily face!! I really wish I could love it more because it truly does hold up VERY well! Even after blotting my face at times to get rid of the oil it still held perfectly. I'm just very mixed about it right now!

Almay One Coat Thickening Mascara Review!

Okay so let me give you a little back ground on how I ended up with this new mascara. I wen to Walmart and used my buy one get a FREE Almay mascara coupon I had gotten from the Sunday paper. So I bought an eye shadow that had a sample of another mascara (which I plan to review really soon) and got this mascara for free! So I ended up paying 4.97 (plus tax) for both products! A win for me! I also got some shampoo and conditioner for only three dollars (plus tax) I was VERY proud of myself that day!


Okay so here is how it looks. I bought the black because I like my eye lashes black and not brown, plus I feel black stands out a lot better! The package and mascara is really basic looking but still adorable. 


Here it is out of the package. It is a very good sized and like I said before It is pretty basic looking. I usually use the L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara (373 Black) but I sadly ran out so lately I have been using an Avon mascara that I'm really not huge on. I got it for free from someone so I have been using it until I found the moment to buy a new one.  


Here is the wand. It still looks really basic and nothing super crazy so i'm not sure how well this is going to be. So far I don't think it's anything special. But I still plan to give it a true try so here we go!
(I do use a eye lash curler)

Time To Try!


Okay so as I was putting it on I saw a HUGE difference with my lashes. Not only did the color look amazing it did seem to make my lashes look bigger. I love how it doesn't clump them together and I truly only used one coat for these pictures. (I don't know why I look so dang tan, I'm as pale as powder sugar!  lol)
(I don't know why my eye looks like I have a crazy wing to it but I believe that is just a piece of my hair or a shadow lol)

Final Thoughts!
Okay so like my Wish product trial I am very pleased with this product! I wore it all day and out to my sister's birthday dinner (which they didn't sing happy birthday to her and i'm so not happy about) but it stayed on the WHOLE time! It looks basic but goes way beyond that! I will be buying this one again. This is going to be my go to mascara! It is very light and super pretty. So for a natural long look this is the brand for you!

Wish: New Professional 15 color Camouflage Concealer Make-Up Cream Palette Review!





















Hey guys!! So this is going to be my review on Wish: New Professional 15 color Camouflage Concealer Make-Up Cream Palette. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do! I only paid two dollars for this so i'm really not expecting it to be super amazing!

Okay so today my pallet finally came in the mail! I ordered it through wish about two weeks ago and I was starting to worry but it did come today and I am super excited to share it with you guys! So lets get started on this review!

Okay so it came packaged very good. As you can see I got lucky and my palette did NOT melt while traveling, which is super lucky for me since i live in Florida. It have some very pretty colors and it a okay size. It does not come with a brush though, which sort of upset me because I clicked one that said the brush was included, but it's okay cause I have some to use with it! As you can see it is in a very simple case, kinda cheap made but still locks for now which is a plus. I just love how the colors look and hopefully they work amazing. It doesn't look like it will have a ton of color with it though, hopefully a little goes a long way! It sort of looks like clown paint so I am a little worried about it.

I placed it beside my brush so you can sort of see the size of the palette.


The cheap looking lock for it. As you can see it looks like it could break easily. But hopefully I am wrong and it wont break.


Time To Try!
Okay so here comes the time we have been waiting for, time to try! Hopefully this product isn't a fail because I actually like it!



Okay so It doesn't feel as clown paint as I thought it would. It feels like normal make up and not to heavy. I was trying to figure out which color I wanted to use. So you can see It makes a pretty good coverage on my arm. I had to use one of my old brushes to use it so that's why there is no brush pictured.



Okay so here it is on my face (sorry for looking like a creeper) it didn't feel heavy at all. It does feel a little oily though so if you have oily skin this isn't for you! I love how much it covered how balanced it looks.



Final Product! Okay so here it is with my whole face done (good-bye creeper look!) I love how it looks and feels. It worked great and so far I would recommend it to someone. Now I'm going to see how hard it is to get it off my arm.

Okay sooo.... I was able to get it off my arm with just water. That worries me a lot considering that I live in Florida and it gets hot. I have to go shopping today and out to dinner with my husband so I will Give a complete final report on this after I get home tonight. Lets see how much of a day wear it is!


Final Thoughts!
So after wearing it all day to go birthday shopping, out to dinner and ended up going on a walk with my husband I have to say that this stuff actually help up pretty good! I love it and will be using it again very soon! It's very cheap and a pretty decent quality!
