Ipsy Bag Review

Hi girls I'm back, and yes for all of you who asked I did get married. I will post some entries of some DIY I did for my wedding, and also pictures of the wedding. As for now lets start with the review of the Ipsy bag subscription.

For those of you who are living in Pluto, the ipsy bag is a monthly subscription, owned by Michelle Phan (a youtuber beauty guru). It cost $10 a month and you get a makeup bag and 5 deluxe samples, and sometimes full sized beauty products. Of the others monthly subscriptions what I like about ipsy is that you get mostly beauty products and of course a makeup bag.

I have been subscribed to ipsy since November 2012, so I have received 8 bags in total, so I think I can tell you and accurate review of the subscription, because not all months are going to have amazing products.

This month bag was my favorite so far. I love the actual bag which is rare because I have hated the other 7, I'm not expecting a high quality bag for $10, but at least a cute one. I love the color, the material, great for summer season, and the fact that has the ipsy stamp outside the bag, not inside as almost always.






































As for  the products inside I felt in love with the coola mineral sunscreen with tint, mine was in rose essence. I'm actually going to purchase the full sized product with the 30% ipsy discount code.

Big sexy hair weather proof (humidity resistant spray). I actually don't use hairspray, because I almost never use hot tool products, and when I do my hair holds curls all day. But I loved the sized its perfect for travel, and for that special occasions you actually need a hairspray. I was so curious that I curl my hair and used it, and I loved it. It holds curls without making your hair sticky.

Pop beauty crayon in fuchsia flirt. This was another product that I was totally looking to buy it, but is out of stock in the website. Is creamy, stays for a long time, and it is a crayon.

Demeter roll on perfume oil in salt air. I though I would hate this product but I actually like it, not that much to buy the full version, because I never leave the house without perfume on. But it is great to throw it in your purse for those long hot days.

California Collection bhcosmetics palette. This is the product that I didn't like. These eyeshadows are gorgeous colors but the pigmentation is horrible, I like coastal scents shadows better. I will still use them because they are a great combination of colors to travel. With my neutral palette and this 3 vibrant color you can do any look.

Overall this month bag was awesome, the products and the bag I will be using, and I'm so happy that I discover the coola sunscreen through ipsy bag, because it make my $10 bucks worth. Thanks to ipsy I also found my favorite product for my hair that I can't live without (josie maran argain oil).

Pros and Cons of the ipsy bag in general

Pros:

1. You can try 5 to 6 products, and discover new products you didn't knew about.
2. You will probably get that want thing you don't want to buy but are dying to try.
3. You get a makeup bag every month.
4. It is just $10 a month and you get more than that.
5. You take a quiz to get personalized items.
6. You can interact with other subscribers through the website, see previews of the bag, tutorials on the products etc.
7. Can cancel anytime
8. It's like christmas every month

Cons:

1. Not all month products are that good.
2. Your personalized quiz is not so personal, since everyone get almost the same things.
3. Some bags are ugly, but that is personal preference.
4. You spend $120 a year in subscription, so if you hate most of the products that year, you have lost a lot of money.
5. You never now what are you going to get until the charge you and sent your package.
6. If you don't  cancel before the 1st of every month you get charged.

Hope you like this review.

Kisses,

Pink and Stripes

Este es mi atuendo del día, utilizé mi falda negra a la cintura que estoy obsesionada con ella, no me la quito, y este blazer de rayas que me encanta. Decidí ponerme una camisa color rosado casi neon para darle un poco de color porque estamos en verano y ultimamente me estoy vistiendo mucho de negro, y la verdad no se porqué, el negro no me encanta lo suficiente, si lo encuentro esencial pero me gustan más los colores neutrales claros como cremas, marrones, rosa viejo, blanco, entre muchos otros. Espero que les guste y disfruten el domingo, que ya mañana es lunes y muchos volvemos  la rutina de la semana.

Besos,

Debs

This is my outfit of the day, I can't get enough of this high waisted skirt, I want to wear it everyday, is super comfy and match with everything. I chose a pink blouse to have a pop of color, because I have being wearing a lot of black lately and I don't know why, since I don't like black that much. I know is an essential neutral color, but I like more bright neutral colors like beige, whites, cream, brown and dusty rose. I hope you like it and have a wonderful Sunday.

Kisses,

Mil disculpas por no publicar muy a menudo, pero estoy estudiando para mis exámenes de licencia y a penas salgo y tengo tiempo para hacerles atuendos del día, lo estoy sufriendo porque me encanta y lo disfruto, pero tengo que tener mis prioridades en orden. Haré mi mayor esfuerzo por publicar más a menudo.

Review: Coastal Scents 88 original Palette

             

          Quería hacerles este review desde mi punto de vista, porque vi varios en youtube y aun así cuando iba a ordenar el estuche de sombras estaba bien indecisa y tenia mis dudas. Es bastante nuevo me llego hace unos días pero ya lo he utilizado varias veces. Los colores son hermosos y tiene una variedad inmensa, e incluso tiene colores que nunca imaginaria usar, por ejemplo un color de sombras rojo, y lo use, claro pero lo coloque en los labios.  Me encanta la paleta porque tiene muchos colores mates y varios con brillos, como la mayoría de mis sombras son con brillo y quería tener una variedad mas amplia de colores mate. Las sombras tienen bastante pigmentación, algunos colores claros sobre todo los mate no tienen tanta pigmentación como me gustaría, pero para la amplia variedad de colores en un solo estuche y el precio USD $ 18.95 creo que es bastante espectacular. No me gusta el empaque plástico, con las letras gigantes, parece de niñas y se ve como si fuera económico y de poca calidad hasta que lo abres y ves que bellos son los colores. En conclusión si lo recomiendo comprar sobre todo si estas comenzando tu colección de maquillajes, eres nueva en este mundo, o si quieres tener todos los colores en una sola paleta. Así que si te interesa ve al website ahora que tienen un 50% de descuesto hasta Diciembre 30 y te saldría en $10.42, que es increíble para 88 colores espectaculares. Yo también la compre con un descuento de 50% y me arrepiento de no haber pedido la de rubores y la paleta de sombras de colores neutrales. Les dejo saber si la pido.

Besos,

Debs

            I wanted to make this review from my point of view, because I saw on youtube a few reviews about this palette when I ordered I was so unsure which one to get and had my doubts. It's fairly new, it came a few days ago but I've used it several times. The colors are beautiful and has an immense variety, and even has colors that I have never used, for example a red color eyeshadows, and still used it, of course on my lips. I love  palette because it has many matte and glittler colors and most of my eyeshadows are bright and wanted to have a wider variety of matte colors. Theeyeshadows have enough pigmentation, some especially bright colors are not as dull as I'd like them to be, but for the wide variety of colors in one palette, and the price USD $ 18.95 I think it's pretty spectacular. I hate the plastic packaging, with the giant letters, seems to be for little girls and looks like low quality product, until you open it and see how beautiful the colors are. So I totally  recommended this palette, especially if you're starting your collection of makeup, if you're new to this world, or if you want all the colors in one palette. So if you're interested go to the website now because they have a 50% off on palettes until December 30 and you will only pay $ 10.42, which is incredible for 88 spectacular colors. I also bought with a 50% off and I regret not buying the blush palette and the warm palette. I'll let you know if I order them.

ELF Haul!!!

           El 5 de diciembre de 2011 compre por eyeslipsface.com una variedad de productos para probarlos ya que nunca había probado la linea y me hacían falta algunas cosas, y otras porque son los mas vendidos supuse que eran los mejores de la linea. Por si no lo saben Elf tiene 3 lineas la essential donde todo cuesta USD $1, la linea de Studio donde todo es USD $3, excepto la base y polvos sueltos que cuestan USD $6, y la linea mineral que la mayoría de los productos son USD $5 pero casi siempre varía de 3 a 5 dolares. Así que es bastante económico para ser maquillaje, incluso mas económico que los maquillajes de farmacia. Los Productos llegaron a Puerto Rico en 10 días contando fines de semana y días no laborables. Y desde el 15 de diciembre que los recibe hasta hoy los he estado usando y no me puedo quejar de hecho me encantan. Uno de mis productos favoritos es la base, no tienes aceite, pero tiene cobertura moderada y la piel se ve espectacular casi porcelana, lamentablemente desde que la estoy usando me han brotado 2 espinillas, pero espero que sea en lo que mi piel se acostumbra, si veo que me sigo brotando no la usare mas. Todos los productos que pedi me encantan no me puedo quejar, el unico que no he utilizado es el humectante con color, asi que una vez que lo use les dejare saber que tal. Habia grabado un video ensenandoles los productos pero todavia no he decifrado la mejor luz asi que tan pronto me acostumbre espero poder hacerles videos. Espero que les gusten los productos si tienen alguna duda de un producto en especifico no duden en preguntarme. Quiero aclarar que todos estos productos los compre con mis propio dinero, asi que no estoy promocionando la marca en ningun sentido, solo quiero compartir mi experiencia con ustedes.

Besos,

Debs

          On December 5, I ordered by a variety of products eyeslipsface.com  to test it because I had never tested the line and I needed some things, and others because they are bestsellers so I assumed they were the best of the line. In case you do not know, Elf has 3 lines, the essential where everything costs $ 1, the Studio line where everything is $ 3, except the foundation and the loose powder that cost U.S. $ 6, and the mineral line that most products are USD $ 5 but usually varies from 3 to 5 dollars. So it's pretty cheap for makeup, even cheaper than the drug store makeup. The products arrived to Puerto Rico in 10 days counting weekends and holidays. And since December 15 that I have received it, so far I've been using it every single day and I can't complain,  indeed I love them. One of my favorite products is the foundation that is oil free and  has moderate coverage and the skin looks like porcelain, unfortunately since I'm using it I got 2 pimples, but I hope my skin gets used to it. The only thing I have not used its the tinted moisturizer, so once I use it, I'll let you know. I hope you like the products if you have any questions regardin an specific product do not hesitate to ask. Disclaimer: all products were purchased with my own money, so I'm not promoting the brand in any sense, I just want to share my experience with you.
