October iPsy Bag: Beauty Candy

October iPsy Bag: Beauty Candy

Hello, hello my Autumn ray of sunshines. LOL. Hope you're all doing well this Hump Day. I know, yet another Wednesday already. The weeks should fly by this quickly next month... Just sayin'.

It is that time of month again, when my monthly iPsy bag comes in the mail in the pretty, shiny pink package. This month, the theme is Beauty Candy. I received five products and the makeup bag couldn't get anymore cuter than this. If you can't tell, the bag is quilted, shiny and turquoise; I mean, what is there not to love? Haha.


This is just another Be Matte Lipstick to add to my collection of others Be Matte Lipsticks I previously ordered from City Color a while ago. Fortunately I did not already own this shade or this lipstick would have been a waste. I don't really wear nudes, especially dark nudes like this shade because it doesn't complement my skin tone. I might be able to work something out with this, we'll see. 

I really don't want to say much regarding the formulas and pigmentation because that will be saved for my update post, which should be up within a month or so.


I am not too crazy about hand creams, but might as well make the most of it. I keep receiving hand creams in my bag although I'd rather receive another product instead. I really shouldn't complain though because I do through these little tubes and bottles in my bag or my makeup bag for convenient travels.

Something about the packaging of this hand cream makes it a joy to look at. It's so colorful and interesting. Maybe it's a UK thing. Lol. Good thing this hand cream comes with a foil seal because I do not plan on opening this anytime soon. I have way too many hand creams opened at the moment and I really should use 'em up before I open another.

Rose Berry with Shea Butter though... I hope it smells as amazing as it sounds.


I fell in love with this eyeshadow as soon as I saw it. The marbleizing of the plum and silver was too beautiful to look at.  The plum shade will be perfect for Fall and Winter. I will have to mess around with this shadow a bit, possibly use it dry and wet and a combination of both to see what looks I can come up with.
With baked eyesahdow, some brands like Milani and Hard Candy mastered the technique, other brands, not so much. I really hope this Plum Frost will not be a disappointment because it is too dry or too flaky. I would hate to hate an eyeshadow, especially one this gorgeous. 


I don't wear falsies regularly, but thank goodness these came a few days before my friend's wedding on Saturday. What better occasion than a wedding where I am a bridesmaid to test these bad boys out! I mean, the falsies I received was called Diva! What better way to spice up a nude smoky than a pair of diva-licious lashes?!

It came with its own glue but I used my Revlon ones instead. It was super comfortable on my eyes. It lasted and looked awesome from the moment I applied it to the end of the night when I went to remove it. That's it for now, the rest later on the update post.


Although I have found the perfect combination to remove my makeup, as a beauty enthusiast, I am always welcoming of trying new products. Cleansing cloths are one of the few items I am very willingly to experiment on. I have not opened the package yet because I am still finishing up the wipes I am currently using, I have a few left. I don't want to dry out cloths by opening them right now when I can wait for another couple of days.

From just feeling the outside though, I can tell these cloths are very wet. Hopefully wet means hydrating. I look for anything with cucumber extract because it just makes the experience that much better with the cool, soothing sensation.

And that wraps up this month's bag. Not the best bag I've received but certainly not the most disappointing.

Please take care and stay warm and cozy as the weather turns cooler because being sick is not glamorous. :P As always, thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)

September iPsy Bag: Street Style

September iPsy Bag: Street Style

Hi guys! Another month, another iPsy bag. With the arrival of this bag, I am officially behind on two months' update. I apologize, it's been a crazy couple of months. I will try to get back into the game ASAP. Please bear with me and I really appreciate your patience. Thank you!!

This month's theme is called Street Style and comes with a stylish gray faux leather bag with metal studs along the top. Really, really cute. I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed with the products I received this month... In fact, I am very, very disappointed with what I got. I'd rather receive the lipstick or nail colors, but instead I got these...


This brush is possibly the one and only product I am not disappointed in receiving. I am a brush hoarder; I love brushes. Good brushes will and can make your makeup application experience way more enjoyable. I own many, many sets and singles but I am always on the lookout for other great brushes. I've been trying to get my hands on the Sonia Kashuk limited edition brush set for sooo long to no avail. I think they're all gone by now and I will not be able to own them. :(

Any who, I've never heard of Crown Brush before, but I am always up for trying out new brands. Apparently this specific brush is from their Infinity collection. This brush is double sided, one shadow and the other crease. It has fiber bristles, super soft and dense. I really cannot wait to put this brush to good use... soon. ;)


I really do not need any more pencil eyeliners, especially one that isn't a twisty. I've never tried a Pacifica eyeliner before so this might not be too bad. This Gun Metal shade is gorgeous too. It's too light to be an eyeliner, but I guess I can use it as a highlight for contrast.. or something. I'll put it to good use.

I did swatch it on the back of my hand, it did seem to glide on with ease with pulling on my skin. I waited about a minute later before I rubbed it off, some came off but the majority was still there.


I received my first Cailyn product some months ago, it was also a lip product. I had mixed feelings regarding that tinted lip balm, so I kinda, well, I'm not quite sure how to feel about this tinted lip gloss. Y'all know I dislike wearing gloss. This shade seems like a shade I don't normally pick up if I had a choice, but that might not be too bad. Since fall is coming up, darker lips will be in.

From what I can tell, the lip gloss seems to be a tad jelly like, I am hoping it isn't too sticky. I wonder why it's called a tinted lip gloss though. I guess the intense berry shade will not show up as intense on the lips. As for the smell, nothing too bothersome. More on the details after I've tried it enough times to give y'all an update.


Oooh, Luxury Hand Cream. Haha, how fancy. The fact that it's from England makes it all the fancier. I haven't tried the hand cream yet, but it's really hard not to get a whiff of that smell. I feel...confused about it? Like it smells nice, but in a weird herbal way. Definitely not something I will pick up voluntarily. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible either. You know what it is, it smells like something our dear sweet grandmother would smell like. Haha. I have no idea.. When I do wear it, I'll make sure to ask around for people's opinion.


Cucumber, an ingredient in a skincare product, I'm not surprised, but watercress? I love eating watercress, but I had no idea they could be used for skincare. Huh, the more you know.

There was a seal on the tube so I was unable to catch what it smelt like. And it was pretty liquidy from sitting out in my mailbox all day, baking in the Arizona heat so if I were to take that seal off then and there, there would've been a mess.

I'm always on the look out for new skincare products that not only I can use, but also my brother and Mom can benefit from. We have different skin type, where as I am oily, my Mom dry with oily patch and my brother combo, oily.

Hopefully this product lives up to its name. I do believe it is nourishing, organic and moisturizing. So ya know, we'll give it a go and see.

I will try my hardest to do an update on this month's products for y'all. So sit tight and expect the update be up within the next few weeks.

If you're also a iPster and received these same products, which ones were you most excited for? Least excited for? Share your experience. :)

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all. Please come back soon. :)
