My first glam bag from Ipsy!

I decided to join buy myself an Ipsy bag last month for my birthday, I saw a friend post what she got in December and wanted it all! 

 This is what came in the January bag!

 

Nailtini Frappe Polish- I am not a fan of nudes but I love this color, it fits my skin tone perfectly. It is a little sheer though so I have to use 4 coats, it actually isn't that much polish with 4 coats on it though because it is pretty thin. Maybe its because there is vodka in it. I did get another bottle of this already.

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil- I've used it on my scale a few times before bed since I have dandruff and it is doing a nice job, I don't know if I'd buy more but I like it so far.
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Mini Body Butter- I love this and I will be buying more when it is gone, it is such a lovely smell and every time I wear my guy comments on how nice I smell :)

Sexy Hair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray- I don't use too much product in my hair, I had curly hair when I was a kid so when I curl it it keeps well even in moist weather. I am saving it for when I want big hair.
&
SOHO Concealer Brush (Crease brush & eyeliner brush where in the other bags.)- I have yet to use this also just because when I was on vacation last month I left my makeup at my my future mother in law's and had to get a few so I just bought one. I am saving this for a raining day though.

I originally signed up for it just for a birthday gift and was not planning on doing it after but I loved what I got and loved what I saw others getting before I joined so I am staying. The fact that is is only $10 really made the decision for though, I figured if there isn't anything I like in the bag I have little gifts to giveaway to family, friends and maybe even a random lady that need hair spray. 

The price for this month has gone up though or not so much price but California and a few other places are making them charge tax so February's bag was 80 cents more, still not bad for what you are getting.

 Another great thing about Ipsy is they what to see you use and love what you get! 

You get a profile on their site that you can add your "looks" to and if you are a youtuber you can add your tutorials and reviews right to your looks.

You can find my profile here :)

They also have monthly challenges, all of these goodies where up for grab if you had the right looks.
UPDATED- MY PRIZE IS HERE!- UPDATED

 I joined the Nailtini challenge with this picture and won,

first bag, first challenge and I an a winner!
I guess I will be getting the Nailtini 5 piece set from the picture. I am super excited about it and was so jazzed to see the "loves" my look was getting. I think my fiance was tired of hearing about it though but he was happy for when I won. 

My only beef with the site and challenges is people can post any look they want and find online, it does not have to be done by you or even with the brand the challenge is for. I just think it takes away some fun of seeing what other can and are doing.

Anyway, The February boxes are almost ready and will be shipping out soon if they have not started already!

I can't wait for this coming month's bag, everything looks so neat!

Winter Inspired Pink Glitter Matte Nails

I got my Matte Top Coat add on from Julep last week, it came shortly after my November box!

I wanted to do something kinda wintry and this is what I came up with. I like how it came out but while everything was drying it kind of looked like Elmer's glue mixed with glitter so now that's all I can think off!

Pink Glitter Matte Nails

Here's what you'll need: A matte top coat (I used the new Julep matte top coat), a white base color, glitter, and maybe a small brush.

First, prep for your manicure, to make it last longer. Remove your old polish, if any, and soak your hands in warm water for a few minutes. Trim your nails and push back your cuticles but don't cut them. Do not use lotions or oils on your hands before you start, it may make the dry time longer.

Paint your nails with one or two coats of your base color.

While the polish is still a little wet lightly dip your nail in the glitter.
Make sure to cover your whole nail in the glitter.

Tap the tip of your nail on the lid and whip off extra and loose glitter so you don't waste any.
If you missed any spots you can add some of the glitter on with your brush too.

Add a your matte top coat and you are done!
I applied 2 heavy coats to help cover the texture of the glitter.

For a more winter look try blue glitter. 

Check out my current giveaway, ends 11/20!

Cherry Blossom Nails

I have recently turned my guest bedroom into a home office and while setting up my new office I decided since this is my own space I can go crazy with pink, shared space with the fiance did not let me do that. While I was changing a few things pink I went ahead and did my nails pink too.

Cherry blossoms :)

 Here is how to get this look. 

Here's what you'll need: A top coat (I use Rimmel Top Coat), a base color, feature colors for branch color and flower color, a dotting tool/tooth pick/small brush, and crystals or mini stainless steel balls. You can use your base color and add white to it like I did.

First, prep for your manicure, to make it last longer. Remove your old polish, if any, and soak your hands in warm water for a few minutes. Trim your nails and push back your cuticles but don't cut them. Do not use lotions or oils on your hands before you start, it may make the dry time longer.

  First apply a coat or two of your base color.

 Wait until your nails are dry to add the branches. If you do not have a brown that you are happy with you can mix colors like I did.

 With your dotting tool, toothpick or small brush add a few branches.

 I mixed the base pink and white together for my flower petal color. 

I wanted something just a little lighter for the flowers.

 With your dotting tool or tooth pick again add 3-4 petals(dots) per flower. 

I added 2-4 flowers on each nail.

 I used these mini stainless steel balls for the center of the flowers. 

You can skip this or crystals also.

 I placed a silver one in the center of each flower.

 Add your top coat and you're done.

Thanks for stopping by, I'd love to see if you give it a try!
