Ipsy: September Bag Review

I subscribed to ipsy over the summer and so far I have to say I am happy with the service. The most exciting part is getting to try new products that I wouldn't purchase on the regular basis. Getting to try new brands and products is what I love the most about being a subscriber. I have made a quick review of my ipsy bag for September. 

My favorite products this month was the Crown Brush and the Pacifica eye pencil. I'm not big on eye shadows, but I did love that I got an eyeshadow brush. The bristles are soft and surely makes eyeshadow application easier. The eye pencil is really creamy and soft on the lids. I really loved the product and color. I also liked the eyeshadow, although I hardly wear it this eyeshadow has a nice slightly shimmery neutral brown tone. My least favorite product has to be the lipgloss. I've never heard of the brand CAILYN, but in my opinion the lipgloss looked cheap and I didn't like the shade of color I received. As far as the hair conditioning mask, I don't plan on using it much, but it did smell wonderful and. when I applied it to the ends of my hair it did make my hair feel smoother. It is not my favorite because I'm not into hair products and my hair is not damaged so I don't see myself using this product often. 

I hope this small review helps in giving a little glimpse on what an ipsy subscription looks like. I still haven't decided if $10 a month is well worth my money, but I love receiving packages in the mail... So I guess we can say that it makes for a fun and unexpected experience.

A Recap on Life

These past few months have been an emotional struggle for me. Here's a quick recap of what has happened in my life these past few months.

I GRADUATED... yaaaayyy.... 

Now I am just been working and going through life.

I've had a few memorable experiences, both good and bad, but I can't complain. The good always overpowers the bad... I keep telling myself that.

To begin, I got to work at the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards and Kids' Choice Sports Awards, assisting their stylist. Which this eventually led me to having the honor of touching slime with my very own fingers! I grew up watching people on Nickelodeon get slime. I never in my life thought that one day I would get to actually touch it or be on the orange carpet. So yes, it was a big deal to me! (Ha!) It was a pivotal moment in my life. I wore my converse on the carpet, I just didn't get the memo that I would actually be outside (I usually work behind the scenes, you know doing the steaming... and more steaming).

In the midst of all the celebrities walking the carpet and being backstage, I saw David Beckham. He was right in front of me, and I had no idea who he was until the next day. Oh well. 

I went to Vegas and attended the Juan Gabriel Concert, the next say he was hospitalized for phenomena.

I saw The Game at Disneyland. Yes, the rapper. I don't know any of his songs, but that doesn't matter. I saw a celebrity at Disneyland and that's what matters.

I got into a car accident and my car got ruined, but that's OK because this led me to purchasing my very first car! =D

Then that led me to rethink my job at Disneyland and I am now looking for a new job. Somewhere closer to home or LA in the fashion industry, because after all I graduated this June and I am a struggling recent grad!

Oh, and have I mentioned that I went to Walt Disney World! It was an unforgettable experience!

Finally, I attended the On the Run Concert. Yes, I love Beyonce and I might have a slight obsession with her so I thought the concert was amazing!

Well this is my life at the moment. It's been unpredictable and at times I get very doubtful of where I'm suppose to go next. I'm just a twenty-something year old girl trying to figure out what I need to do in life... aren't we all?

Anyways, my favorite time of the year is almost here, I love the Holiday season!
