New Products: NYC, Wet N Wild and Urban Decay

IHere's some of the most recent products  I've purchased:

NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm: These smell like apples!! They are super cute with little apples in the center I just couldn't resist!!


Two on the left

Applelicious Pink

It's a Rosie pink color that looks really pretty on 

Blushing Golden

It's more of a frosted light pink/beige color

Wet N Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color in Click On My Hyperpink


I really wanted a bright bubblegum pink color but this is like Nicki Minaj pink. There's a few things I don't like about this lip gloss the smell and its really sticky and a pain in the butt to take off. 

Urban Decay Liner in 1999 and Lucky


They look like this:
1999 is a pretty purple/gold color and Lucky is a coppery orange color both are just gorgeous!!

Geek Chic Cosmetics Swatches

This is my haul from Geek Chic Cosmetics and I didn't actually order these all at the same time but I thought about just posting them all together. A little about this line is that they are 100% vegan and cruelty free which is awesome!! But they have the greatest themes for their collection: True Blood, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rocky Horror, Dr Who and others. I order the sample sizes and usually they are $1.25 for a good size sample.  






Blues and Greens

From top clockwise:
•Judgement Bolt- it's described as a grey pearl with turquoise sheen, but see more as a silvery-blue. 
•I'm Going Home- inspired by Rocky Horror this is a pretty teal color with vibrant green duochrome. It is not lip safe and is know to stain mildly if not used with base. 
•Glass Cannon-light blue with silver sparkle
•Bigger On the Inside-one of my fave colors!!! Looks teal but really an olive green with gold duochrome. 
•Twilight Princess- really pretty grey green duochrome. Not lip safe.

•Touched By Darkness-White with opalescent and purple shimmer. Not lip safe.

Have You Tried a Glam Bag Yet?

2013 is almost upon us and I have yet to introduce Glam Bags to my followers. IPSY or formerly known as My Glam have created a service where for only $10 a month you can subscribe to getting a great bag and even greater products!! I saw them on Facebook the first time through a mutual friend and I thought what a great idea to try products that you may have never heard of or that were too expensive for your beauty budget, so I began my subscription last May and I have loved it ever since!!

This is going to be a long post of each bag from this year that I have recieved and my review of each product inside the bags and their original prices to show just how much money you can save by joining!

MAY

JUNE
Girls Night Out Bag: Glitzy Gold Clutch















 Including:

















Marbella Permanent Eye Liner Pen in Black  $20
This pen was so awesome!! I love the markers because you have great control with them and they last a long time with no fading or cracking when you wear them.. and I actually just discovered (and this is the best part) you can flip the felt tip part over and use the other side when the first tip runs out!!!! I am so psyched, because I was so sad when this felt tip pen ran out..

NYX  Round Lip Stick in Orange Soda $4
Before Myglam bags I was an avid NYX user and so I already had this color.. it's very creamy and very opaque when you apply it on and it makes your lips real nude.










Living Proof Frizz  Nourishing Styling Cream $26 for full size

I actually have not used this yet, I don't have a lot of frizz and my hair is usually poker straight.. but it smells really yummy and it's in a squeeze bottle.

Take a Deep Breath from Philosophy Energizing Cream Moisturizer $34 for full size

I have used this and it is very refreshing, it's oil free and makes skin smooth and nourishes. It has a very light smell that's clean.

JULY
 Beach Beauty: Mesh Rainbow Striped Bag

















Including:


















Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes $3

I tried these and they are refreshing on your skin but it started to break my face out a little.. I don't know exactly if it was this product but I am a sucker for anything cucumber so I will probably give them another go in the future.

Bare Essentials Buxom Big and Healthy Lip Gloss in Starr $19

This is a nice sheer raspberry color with flecks of gold and it really does plump your lips, it has a tingling feeling when you apply it on and it has a great smell











NU.ME Hydro Punch Conditioner $24 for full size

I Loved this stuff!! I used it up and I will eventually purchase the full size when I have enough in the beauty budget. It has a floral smell and it is for color treated and dry hair and I felt like it really made a difference in my hair.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil- Free Lotion $26 for full size
I have yet to really use this product, I feel like it would benefit more in the summertime when you are out on the beach, it has a sun tan lotion smell, but it goes on pretty light
