Blue Lovisa Jewellery Earrings

I recently stumbled upon a jewelry store at the Glendale Galleria (in Glendale, CA) called "Lovisa Jewellery". Jewelry heaven! So many colors and styles of affordable jewelry to choose from. I only walked in the store to browse, but then I saw some earrings that would match with a blue dress I planned to wear to an event. I definitely made the right choice in earrings! No buyer's remorse here. Open shoulder dress is from www.Boohoo.com.

My January Ipsy Glam Bag

I've had an Ipsy glam bag subscription since November 2014. I have been getting some really great products through them. I barely have to shop for make up anymore! Take a look at the products I received in January's glam bag and how I used the products to create my look.

     

   My Glam Bag Products:

• Global Beauty Care charcoal wash-off mask:  This left my skin feeling extremely smooth.
• Kajal Vasanti Waterline: Really smooth and applies on your eyelid very easily. Didn't smudge all night!
• Briogeo Scalp Revival Shampoo: Smells really great. I have oily hair so I had to apply a little extra on my head to make sure I didn't miss a spot.
• The Balm Cosmetics: I love this brand! Ipsy sends out a product from this brand in almost all of my glam bags. I'm obsessed. This particular product was a light, shimmery highlighter. 
• EMMA V.S.N.P. Nail Polish: This really isn't my type of nail polish color. The good thing about Ipsy is that you can review your products so they can customize your bag for you. I put on the polish and it seems like good quality. I used the "Big Peel Off Base Coat" by sally Hansen for a smooth application.  

Prior to creating my make up look, I washed my hair with the Briogeo Sclap Revival Shampoo and also used the Charcoal Wash-Off Mask prior to applying moisturizer and starting my make up. To create my make up look, I used the black Kajal Vasanti Waterline eyeliner and also the Balm Cosmetics highlighter on my cheeks. I used a few other products from previous Ipsy glam bags. 

Some other brands I used to create this look:

• Mac "Electric Eel" eye shadow (to create the blue under eye look)
• Morphe "Lock It" blue eye liner (for under eye lid)
• Lipland liquid lipstick in color "Amrezy"
• Arbonne Bronzer
• Morphe Continuous Setting Mist to finish the look

Red Lips for 4th of July

I did a bold red lip look for the 4th of July. It's my favorite time of year! I love the warm weather, pool parties, barbecues, and of course...fireworks! My birthday also falls during this time so of course I love it! Check out a few of the products I used to create this look.

Product Details:

Lips: Sephora lip liner in "Pleasant Plum" and Mac "Ruby Woo" lipstick. I love this combination! It gave a very bright matte look to my lips.

Eyes: Urban Decay "Black Market" eyeliner on top, NYX "Silver Shimmer" eyeliner on the bottom and L'Oreal "Voluminous False Fiber Lashes" mascara

Bronzer: Arbonne

Nails: Sally Hansen Velvet Texture polish in "Lavish 670"
