Dissapointing!

Welp. I got my ipsy glam bag in the mail this past weekend. And I have to say it pretty much sucked. The only good thing about this months bag was the actual bag. I love the leopard print. So I will def use it ,but everything else was just blah.

The lip liner was a weird almost purple color. It said nude but it was definitely not nude.

The NYX blush was cream blush. I don't do cream blush. My skin is super oily so it just doesn't work with my skin.

The liquid eyeliner was kinda cool, but I'm not a big eyeliner wearer. It just doesn't look very good on me. In my opinion. I have a round face so I don't need anything making my eyes look small & my face look any bigger.

The highlighter pencil is ok. I may actually use it.

The eyeshadow was awful. I didn't get the color in the picture, it was darker colors, like blue, black, silver. Colors I do not wear. The eyeshadow was like the consistency of Halloween make up. It was jelly, and pretty much nothing but glitter. Did not like it.

Anyone else get this bag? Agree? Disagree?

I don't think I'll be keeping my ipsy subscription.

Also I went to Ulta this weekend. First time I have ever been in one. I know shocking! I usually go to Sephora. But now they have built an Ulta closer to me. I went in there specifically looking for a new foundation. A non expensive one. I used to buy Bare Minerals. I love that it was so easy to put on ,but I didn't love that it came off so easily. My skin is so oily you could just wipe your finger across my face and it would just come off. (i know disgusting!) I've tried using different primers, but it doesn't seem to help. I have tried so many different foundations its ridiculous. My skin is just too oily. So I thought I would try some of NYX's products. I have never tried any before. So I purchased these products....

& again disappointing!

I used both and it was just not agreeing with my skin. It looked like the makeup was just sitting in my pores. It made my pores even more noticeable. And did not have good coverage either.
So today I tried the foundation without the Shine Killer, just to see how it would do. It seems to be a little better ,but still not great. The make up is still looking like its sitting in my pores in some places. And still not good coverage. I don't know what to do about my skin. I've been to the dermatologist. I have tried every face wash. Every foundation. Toner. Primer. Lotion. EVERYTHING Y'ALL!

The only plus to having oily skin is I will have less wrinkles when I'm old. But still! I'm over it!

So if you know of any magical foundation or anything for ridiculously oily skin, help a girl out! I'm so frustrated with my skin & make up at this point. Blah!

Who loves beauty products?! This girl right here does! I mean what girly girl doesn't?
Seriously, I REALLY like beauty products. Just ask my best friend Han, she was with me when I went on a major splurge in Sephora a couple years ago with some of my tax return money. I was in heaven!

ipsy is a website you can create a personal account on & sign up to receive the monthly "Glam Bag". I first found out about it from my friend Ashley (check out her shop Colies) via her Instagram. She posted a pic of her May Glam Bag & I was curious! So I started looking around the website. It has reviews of all kinds of beauty products. Its a fun site! & the monthly Glam Bag is only $10 a month! That is cheap y'all!

The products in my May Glam Bag are:

Anastasia brow gel

Zoya nail polish

Pacifica tahitian gardenia perfume roll on

Mirabella colour sheers lipstick

Yaby concealer refill

& of course the bag itself!

I was pretty excited about the concealer! I really needed some lighter concealer, I just hadn't made it to Ulta to get any.
I was iffy about the lipstick at first because it was such a bright pink color. I usually stick to more natural color lipsticks or glosses. But I tried it and put a little gloss over it & loved it! I asked Andrew if it was too bright, he said no, so I'm taking his word for it!
I did not like the smell of the perfume. It smelled like old lady perfume. I gave it to my mom ( no offense Ma!) ,but I really didn't think she would really like it either. Shes pretty hip on perfumes, we usually like the same things. I also gave her the brow gel because I don't really need it. She has eyebrow issues so I knew she would love it. (no offense again LOL)
& I wish you could opt out for certain products, like the nail polish. I DO NOT paint my own nails or toe nails. If I even attempt to do it they end up looking like a 5 year old did it! & I would rather go to the nail salon to get them done anyways! I love being pampered.

All in all the Glam Bag is just fun! I love getting stuff in the mail too. It feels like Christmas!
So check it out!
