Ipsy July Glam Bag 2016 | First Impressions

What happens when you live a hectic life, starting University and moving? You end up posting first impressions really late! I solemnly swear that I will do my best to hurry up with these first impressions. 

+ipsy  is a beauty subscription service that for $10 or $20 for us Canadians a month you will receive 4-5 beauty products ranging from sample to full sizes. This is beneficial to those who want to try out different and new beauty products that you otherwise wouldn't necessarily have been able to find in drugstores. Plus the value of the the whole glam bag (all the products) you receive are higher than the $10 or $20 that you would pay. For more information on Ipsy you can click here.

For this month the theme is Hot Summer Nights. 

1-Elizabeth Mott:  Show Me Your Cheeks Blush in Peach Pink.
This universally flattering and foolproof shade leaves an iridescent finish with subtle sparkle. This long-lasting blush builds a glow that goes from subtle sheen to full-on flush. The sample that I have is worth $11.50. I really like the colour of the blush and it is definitely up my alley. I cannot wait to review it!

2-The Balm Cosmetics: Meet Matt(e) Trimony Eyeshadow in Matt Moskowitz
From the Meet Matt(e) trimony eyeshadow palette, Matte Moskowitz is a matte plum that has a velvety texture. And it is perfect to be used on your lids, in the crease or as a transition shade because its formula allows for it to be easy to blend. The sample I I have is worth $3. I've always been interested in this palette and now I can at least try out one of the shadows. This purple matte shade is a nice shade and I'm sure with my hazel eyes it will pair up nicely. Plus this shadow is pigmented which is always nice to have. 

3-Delectable By Cake Beauty: Delectable lemon and cream Ultra Nourishing hand cream.
This hand cream contains coconut oil and shea butter to soften and nourish the skin while the aloe vera rejuvenates hands and cuticles. This hand cream also has the scrumptious scent of lemon meringue pie. The sample size that I have is worth $6. I'm pretty excited to try this out, especially, because of how good and delicious it smells. 

4-Ofra Cosmetics: Lip liner in Silk. 
This lip liner is made with synthetic beeswax for a smooth application and is long lasting. This lip liner is also waterproof and drink-proof. Silk is described as a ballet slipper shade that draws a soft lie for perfectly pink lips. This retails for $13. I'm happy that I received this liner because I've yet to try anything from +OFRA Cosmetics USA Plus I love lip liners!
  
5- Luxie Beauty: Luxie Rose Gold small angle eye brush 215
This brush has dense and compact bristles that can be used to line, smudge or fill in brows. This brush retails for $10. I'm excited to try it out! I like liner brushes that make my makeup look magical. Hopefully, this brush will be able to do that.

6-July Glam Bag:
I really like the bag. It feels durable and is really cute. The bag itself is worth around $5.

Overall First Impression:
The whole bag including the items value at around $48.50. Overall I'm really happy with everything I received and I don't really have anything else to say. Surprised? Because I am, usually I have more to add but not today.

I hope you guys enjoyed this first impression 💖

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po
