So I sorta slept thru my alarm....sorry!

I know I'm a day late on this, but I never claimed to be perfect.  Here are my November subscriptions. 

My favorite polish to come out of the Julep box for November was Fazia.  (last 2 polishes on the right) It's a really rich red wine color.  Perfect for fall/winter manis.  I've gotten a ton of complements on it. I also opted for the Plie wand in my box.  I'm still learning to use it and all, but I'm digging it so far.  Heres a pix of Fazia and where I used my Plié wand.

My November Ipsy Bag.... first can I say how much I adored this bag?  the silver glitter look is awesome.  Its in the top of my favorite bags from them so far.  The one item I didn't dig was the lip stain.  I'm not sure if I maybe got a bad batch or not (the reviews on it were mixed), but the only part of it I was impressed with was the super rich pigment of it.  Other then that, it was a mess.  It never fully set on my lips.  It stained my teeth, face and fingers.  When I say stained my teeth, I mean I had to use a makeup wipe on my teeth.  I tried applying it 2 different ways.  One with just my pinky. The second time I used a lip primer, lip liner and used a lip brush to apply it.  I ended up with the same results both time. My cousin got the same product and color and she had a totally different experience with hers.  So I'm giving it a second go. I redeemed another tube of it in a different shade with some Ipsy points I had stocked away.  We'll see how it goes this time.

And because I slacked so hard in my blog for a month, here's photos of my winter mani I did last night while watching American Horror Story.



 

Ulta haul & my September Ipsy bag.....

Ulta had an event sale going on today in which I partook in.   If you spend $35 dollars in Benefit products you received a free Benefit train case. Well I really wanted a full sized Bene tint since I adored the sample I was given.  I also picked up a High Brow Glow pencil.  I think highlighting your brows is just a nice subtle touch for a brighter eye.  Also while I was at check out I was looking thru their impulse buy bins and I saw they had a sample size of Benefit's Posie tint.  I usually do my lips in reds, pinks or neutrals.  I like the color of the Posie tint but I find that its a thicker formula then the benefit tint. The nice score was that it came with a travel sized High Beam too.  I don't think companies understand how much I appreciate them making travel sizes of their products too.  Specially if I just want to give it a try.

I also picked up Butter London's Top of the Pops.  Its a $70 set that I got for $32.  The set included Wink eye pencil and cream eye shadow in Earl Grey, which is a nice metallic silver color.  The eyeliner is more of a charcoal color with sparkle to it.  It also included a nail polish in LA Ross and a Lippy liquid lipstick in the color Toff.  A real nice combo for date night or going out with the girls to the club.   They also threw in a sample of their scrubbies, their nail prep and polish remover pads.

And finally, yesterday my Ipsy bag came in the mail.  YAY!  Their theme for September was "Street Style".  The make up bag was a cute gun metal color with studs on the front.  My bag contained a Hikari lipstick, which tho' it was a nice lipstick, I'm not digging the color on me.  I also got the Be a Bombshell smooth criminal powder, a pacifica eye liner, Briogeo  deep conditioning hair mask and Nourish Organic moisturizing face cleanser. I also traded in ipsy points for the Bodyography foundation primer.
