Ipsy.com January 2013 Glam Bag Review

Hello everyone! So I have signed up for the monthly subscription from ipsy.com called Glam Bag ($10 a month). This is my first month of receiving it and I have to say, I'm super excited about it. I have looked into the Birch Box and Beauty Tube and a few others and just didn't think any of them were worth trying. I was watching a YouTube video by Michelle Phan and that is how I learned about it, she is a beauty guru on YouTube and is apparently a founder of the ipsy.com website, at least I think I have that right.
Anyways!! I absolutely loved the bag this ,month! I got things I actually needed and will use regularly, and it didn't have foil packets of samples or tiny tubes of perfume. Everything was either full size or a deluxe sample. I'll insert pictures below for you to see.

First off I received this awesome nail polish. I have been searching for the right red nail polish for forever!! And here it is, Bloody Mary by Nailtini. It's gorgeous, although I have discovered I'm not very good at painting my fingernails with a dark color :}

Next in the bag, that I will repurchase because I love it so much is, Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter. It is 2.5 fl oz. which in my book it a lot for a sample! It is perfect for in your purse, and it makes my hands SO soft and it smell's incredible!

The next item I received is an eye crease makeup brush from the brand SOHO. I have never tried this brand before, I normally use sigma brushes but I really like this brush, I may look into SOHO and possibly purchase more since you can get them at Walgreens . It's too big for my crease but it is perfect blending out the colors on the lid. I have used it every day since I got it.

The fourth item is a 1.5 oz can of Big Sexy Hair volumizing hairspray which is my all time favorite hairspray. Now I have one to keep in my purse!

The fifth item small bottle of Josie Maran Argan Oil. I threw the box away so I don't know how much is in the bottle :( but I feel like it is a great deluxe sample size. I have so far used it as a face moisturizer and to help with split ends in my hair. I haven't noticed if its made a difference in my skin or hair but I will continue to use it.

Last but not least you receive the bag that it all comes in. I have turned it inside out for the pictures because the inside was cuter than the outside which is plain black or a very dark navy, I can't tell, it could go both ways. It's not very big or of high quality but it's nice to put odds and ends in it.

So over all I am super happy with this Glam Bag and cannot wait for next months bag to come in. Thanks ipsy.com!


As always Stay beautiful!

Long Time, No See (or write ;)

Well, so much for posting every day! Lol. I guess starting a blog before the holidays was not my best idea, but now it's a new year, and my plan is to stay on top of my blog and my YouTube channel, which is still not up yet because I'm in the market for a new computer :( I also have an Instagram account and Twitter account both with the user name Adiktd2makeup, so check me out and friend me I'd love to chat with you.

I have filmed several videos to post on my YouTube channel, but I'm not sure what to do for my first video!?! I need help. What do you guys think I should do for my first video? If you also have a YouTube channel what did you start with? My channel is going to be beauty related and probably mostly makeup (check out my picture, I was playing around with some of my Tarte eye shadows), depending on how that goes I may make a second channel for other things non-beauty related. PLEASE let me know what you think!!!

Stay Beautiful!!

Video Editing & Arm candy

Hello Lovely Ladies!! So today I'm supper exhausted from staying up most of the night trying to figure out my video editing software :( Needless to say I went to bed frustrated last night, but my wonderful Hubby said he is going to help me this weekend with a newer, better program. So hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have a few videos uploaded to my upcoming beauty channel on YouTube :)

Now, for more of an upbeat conversation, check out my lovely simple arm candy. I have found that this little combo, I reach for almost everyday. It's an easy way to dress up anything, especially since I pretty much live in jeans and casual tops. The watch I purchased from the Fossil store at my mall back at the beginning of summer, I know they still have this style and have added quite a few more colors. The bracelets I purchased from Buckle, they also came with 3 pink and gunmetal beads but in don't tend the wear the pink ones often, the gunmetal and chain goes with everything!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday!!! Yay for the weekend!!! My goal is to post on my blog everyday, so leave me some comments, I'd love to get to know y'all.

TGIF,

Welcome To My "All Things Beauty" Blog

Hello Lovely Ladies!!!! I am so excited to finally start my beauty blog. I am, as my name points out, ADDICTED to makeup. There is no other way around it. I feel like makeup is my way of sharing art with everyone. Makeup is an art, but and art that all women can create and personalize. It's an art that can build you up when your feeling down and brings you confidence. I hope that with my videos and blog post I can help you with your "Art" and help you in the ways that I have benefited from all the wonderful ladies that have inspired me on youtube. 

I will be filming my first makeup tutorial this evening, using the Urban Decay Naked palette. I will also be doing a review of both the Urban decay Naked  and Naked2 palette's. I know that there have been a lot of video's and review's on them but I feel like that there are a few things I have noticed with the two palette's that I have not seen in reviews before. (I have by no means watched all of them, so someone may have pointed these things out, lol) 

I am looking so forward to getting to know all of you and I hope that you will watch and enjoy my youtube  tutorials, reviews, and hauls, and don't forget to subscibe :) Please feel free to leave me any helpful comments, tips, or suggestions that you all may have. Always remember, inner beauty will always shine through!

Stay beautiful,
Lori      aka Adiktd2makeup
