I am in love with my Ipsy Glam bag this month! I feel like there was a bit more variety in this one than some of the previous bags I’ve received. Ipsy has really expanded my horizons by allowing me to try out new products at a great price. Prior to receiving their monthly subscription I was using the same beauty products I had used for years and I just didn’t feel great about the way my makeup looked. I would go in to Sephora, wander around, and leave defeated and overwhelmed. SO many products to choose from.

With Ipsy I just fill out a little survey about what types of products I like, pay $10 a month, and it comes to my door step in a cute little bag. There have been a few things that I haven’t loved but there is usually at least one product in the bag worth well over $10. Not to mention, I almost always receive a product that I would need to buy monthly anyway like mascara or eyeliner. This works really well for me because I rarely have to shop for makeup now, aside from my foundation. …

I recently had a little gathering at my house to do something I never thought I’d do – try out Mary Kay products. I must admit, I had totally preconceived notions about Mary Kay. In my mind, they were a bit outdated. Um, well, I am here to admit how wrong I am. I had a little Mary Kay party at my house a few nights ago with a few close friends and I really liked everything I got to try! We got to hang out, play around with some makeup, and it ended up being a lot of fun! I absolutely fell in love with their mascara. I have been on the lookout for a new mascara for a while. None of the mascaras I have received in my Ipsy bags over the last few months have wowed me. Everytime I use up whatever I am currently using I buy something new in hopes that this will be “the one”. Well I finally found it! …

A few weekends ago I received a hair color kit from Madison Reed! I hadn’t dyed my own hair in quite while so I was a bit nervous – but this was SUPER easy. Madison Reed takes the guess work out of everything. I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten home only to realize I’ve forgotten gloves or hair caps on my trip out to the store to grab everything I need to dye my hair. Everything I needed showed up in a cute little box on my doorstep. This is the kind of thing I need in my life with a full-time job and permanent Mom brain. Their products are also free of ammonia, resorcinol, parabens, phthalates, gluten & PPD. I hate dealing with the harsh chemical smells that DIY hair color usually brings so this was quite literally, a breath of fresh air!

See everything that came in my box in the video below:
