IPSY/ February Unboxing+Review

What does sexy mean to YOU? With magazines and social media, we have been told what sexy is in an unrealistic way and with fake expectations. Don't always believe what you see because it is sometimes accomplished by photoshop, airbrush, an app, (yes there are apps out there that make you look voluptuous with an itty bitty waist.) and last but not least plastic surgery. So it's time to just embrace our natural beauty because we are perfectly imperfect.
This months IPSY glam bag's theme is Unzipped, because being sexy isn't limited to a certain size, shape, or age. Sexiness is authenticity, real, and confidence. Let's unzip the way we think about being sexy. Let's define it in our own terms. No rules! No photoshop! No restrictions! Just be 100% sexy your way!
The bag is a beautiful blush pink adorned with black lace trim. It is so romantic perfect for the month of love, don't you think? The five items in my IPSY glam bag; were a hand moisturizer, a lipstick, loose eyeshadow, eyeshadow brush, and a serum. Below I'll give you more information about each product, mini review, and swatches. (Disclosure: This review was not Sponsored by IPSY I paid for my glam bag and all opinions are mine) 
417
Hand Moisturizer
It’s made with a mix of ingredients your skin will love like vitamin E, shea butter, beeswax, and minerals from the Dead Sea. It hydrates, protects, and helps regenerate your skin cells. The formula works to improve your skin’s moisture levels from the inside out best of all it doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. Essentials oils included are sesame, evening primrose, and olive. They are healthy for your skin, smells so pretty like flowers it's subtle not overwhelming and refreshing.


CLINIQUE
Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Love Pop
This lippie has the best of both worlds because it’s a primer and lip color in one. The formula is so soft and very pigmented. Love Pop is a pretty rose shade with a touch of gold shimmer, who doesn't like a lil sparkle on their lips! I really love the cute and fun lip print packaging. The formula feels comfortable and creamy. It isn't transferred proof but will stay put for the most part.


MARSK
Loose Eyeshadow in Foiled Again
This metallic loose powder is really easy to apply and can be used dry (for a subtle shimmer) or wet (for major drama). If you wanna make it even extra, the silvery shade also looks really cool layered over a darker shadow for date night. It is definitely a different color that I don't have in my collection. I really love how sparkly it was once swatched, very pixi fairy vibes.


LUXIE BEAUTY
Blending and Shading Eye Brush 249
One brush to get any eye look. This is an ipster-exclusive,it is a double-sided brush, tapered on one end (for packing down your powder shadows) and fluffy on the flip side (for easy blending). The rose gold handle is so pretty. The soft bristles are synthetic, so definitely cruelty free. I actually have a quad set from past BOXYCHARM so I'm pretty familiar with these brushes. I like that it is a dual brush because it is convenient when packing it on the go. They are also great quality, they are great for creating flawless eyeshadow looks.
M.A.D. SKINCARE
Spot On Targeted Skin Brightening Serum
Step up your skincare game by starting with this serum. It’s packed with vitamin C and botanicals to help brighten up dark spots and uneven skin. It's also hydrating and paraben free.
I absolutely love this month's glam bag, the products I'm excited for is the lipstick, and the hand moisturizer because this feels great on my skin not greasy at all. What items did you get this month, I'd love to hear comment below. Hope this unbagging and mini review has been helpful if you've been considering IPSY. Hope you all have a wonderful day and remember to celebrate the magic of your unique bea-YOU-ty!!

Boxy Charm/February Unboxing+Review

It's BoxyMail Time, this month's theme is Galaxy Glow. It is definitely giving me all the Space Jams vibes. If you aren't familiar with BOXYCHARM it is a beauty subscription for $21 a month. Usually you get 5-6 full size products! Based on the theme I thought that the products were going to be vibrant, glowy, or have a neon effect. There were so many variations on their IG that I was not sure if I was going to like this month's box. The five items that were included in my box were a highlighter palette, shimmer veil, eye pencil, glitter, and trio brush set.  (Disclaimer: this review is NOT sponsored by BOXYCHARM, I bought this with my own money, all opinions are mine. I'm sharing because "Sharing is Caring.") NAKED COSMETICS Holographic Highlighter Palette retails $39.99 This palette comes with six stunning holographic shades.

Women's Watches: Where to Shop for Unique Timepieces

Tick tock, tick tock. Time is slowly creeping up and I'm making sure to make the most out of it. As a mommy of two, I stop and stare at my two beautiful daughters I began to reminisce on the day they were both born. Oh such tiny little babies they were and all I can think is poof they've grown in a blink of an eye. I am soaking up every moment and making memories with them because I want them to always remember all the good TIMES we've experienced. Thanks to JORD on my wrist, it is a daily reminder to cherish my precious time. JORD is based in St. Louis. They design sophisticated watches with mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components. JORD are best known for their unique hand crafted wooden watches. I consider myself minimalistic when it comes to watches. When I saw THE CASSIA it caught my attention because I knew it was perfect for me! It is thoughtfully styled with a Scandinavian design in mind. The band is
