Could The Weather Look Any Better...

Only 3 more days until my long weekend away visiting a good friend in London! And for a city which usually has a lot of rain I couldn't be happier about the weather while Im there! Thursday can't come fast enough! Vacation mode is officially ON!

February and March Ipsy Bags!

February Ipsy Bag:

'The Look of Love' bag is the perfect mix of products for the girl with exciting Valentine's Day plans, whether out with your man or with your girlfriends! Let's start with J Cats Beauty Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue: Easy to apply, natural feel and look, these are perfect to step up your "going out" makeup routine without over doing it. Next you'll need some eye shadow to choose from and the Jesse's Girl 'The Eyes Have It' Eye Colour Collection offers a wide range of extremely neutral colours; easily mixable or worn on their own. No look is complete without a lippie, this semi-sheer pigmented gloss by Pop Beauty in Peony Petal is the perfect finishing touch. You can't forget a fresh mani and who would with Zoya's Dot pastel pink polish. I personally love Zoya products, they are pigmented, long lasting, and come in sooo many colours. Regardless who you spend your night with you'll need a cleanser to remove your face at the end of it. First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser with Red Clay is the PERFECT end to your night! Having a smooth and thick consistency helps leave your skin with the silkiest touch!

March Ipsy Bag:

Spring is in the air and this means bold colours in ever part of your beauty routine. Ipsy's 'Destination Beauty' Bag definitely has you covered from nails to eyes. Nails: Nicole by OPI 'On What Grounds', which is a part of the Roughles Collection. This textured pastel lacquer has speckles leaving a pebbled finish which can also be worn without a top coat to create a matte effect. Lips: Bareminerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in 'Get Ready'. The perfect combination of lipstick and gloss come together to create this lipstick. Smooth application with a yummy scent. Eyes: Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Eyeshadow Quad in 'Bora Bora'. Create as neutral or as wild an eye as you wish with this palette. Such a smooth application, very pigmented, and the perfect amount of shimmer. Eye Care: Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Cornflower. These patches decrease the signs of stress, lack of sleep, continuous activity, illness and/or allergies and can be used before/after a night out, after a long day at the office, or on as a weekly treatment.
