Ipsy Unboxing July 2015

Ipsy Unboxing July 2015

Ipsy is a $10 make-up subscription box.... well err... bag. It has free shipping and advertises that every month you will receive 4-5 deluxe sized samples in a cute little make up bag. Grab one HERE. So lets get into what I got, what its worth, and if I like it!

Eyetini eyeliner in the color blue hawaiian. Retails for $18. Now I like it but I honestly don't think I will ever use it.

Tarte Bronzer in the shade of park ave princess. Retails for $30. I love this its so pretty, and is perfect for my skin tone. I will be using this all the time. Color swatch of this is below the blue eyeliner but you may not be able to see it as well but it does give a nice subtle golden glow.

Then we have Bellapierre minerallipstick in the color pink. It Retails for $19.99. Now it is a much nicer shade of pink on your lips then on my hand, but once again this will be something I never use. I was really hopping for something darker.

Now we have Mongongo lipconditioner. No color like a chap-stick. It retails for $10. I am so in love with this its sitting right next me right now and I have been using it religiously. It makes you lips feel like silk. Love love love it.

Last we have Jor'el Parker roll on perfume in the sent classico. This little 8.8ml bottle retails for $21. It smells sooo good. I will be wearing this.

I'm not sure if I was lucky in getting mostly full sized items as the only promise 1, or if its how they are doing things now. As of now I have canceled my subscription (it was easy to do so), but its not because I didn't like my bag. I did. I got 3 items I will use all the time and buying these items by yourself is way more then 10$ so this bag was worth it. I just don't have the money to be getting 2 make-up subscriptions every month, and ill never use that much make up, but I will probably get another again in the future. Well that is it ! I hope you enjoyed my unboxing/unbagging.  

Glamour Skull Slipper Pattern Review

Glamour Skull Slipper Pattern Review

This pattern is by Glamour 4 You and can be found on Ravelry HERE. The price is $4.99. I however was lucky enough to get this pattern at a sale price with a coupon code a while ago. This is the mens sized pattern but it also comes in women and child sizes too. Now before we go into the review I want to point out mine do not look as cool as the designers pair because my customer wanted them all in one color, and they also wanted it lose at the ankles so I skipped the last row as well.

So lets get into it! This pattern gives you lots of size choices from 5/6 to 13/14. It has a double sole, so its extra cozy and comfortable. This pattern has nice details in it and the skull looks really good. It's easy to read and understand. It has all the info you could need and more. It even has picture tutorials. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this pattern and am very please with it. I will be make this again some day. A great pattern that you really get your money's worth out of especially I you regularly make items to sell. Well that's it I hope you enjoyed my review !

TOMbox Unboxing July 2015

TOMbox Unboxing July 2015

This is a lady's time of the month subscription box. The cost is $10 no flow box (no tampons), $16 for the flow box, and then you can add double the make-up and jewelry for and extra $6. This month I chose the no flow box with double the make-up and jewelry for $16, and I would say its well worth it as you get at least double your moneys worth. You can order your own tomboxhere. Now lets get to the goodies!

All four items pictured above are full sized items! Okay so first we have Cult nail polish in the color laguna, a nice pretty pink color. It retails for $12 on the Cult Cosmetics site. Next to the polish we have a very nice make-up brush, its super soft. I would guess its retail value at $5-$10. I will use this all the time. Then we have Be a Bombshell lip gloss in the color taupeless. Now its not much to look at in the tube but its beautiful on, very happy with this. It retails for $16 on Be a Bombshells site. Next we have some beautiful Hikari blush in the shade of sun-kissed. I love this ! It retails for $15 on Hikari's site.

Now for the little stuff, the samples. First we have a travel pack of make-up remover wipes by La Fresh. You get 8 wipes, its ruffly worth $2. Next is Joanna Vargas daily serum sample. Its a 5 ml sample the full sized bottle is 29.5 ml or 1 oz and sells on amazon for $85. So you can only guess at how much this tiny sample is worth. Last sample is a perfume called Escada Marine Groove. Smells nice not sure if its for me though. Not sure how much is in this tiny bottle but you could probably get a weeks use out of it. You can find this this same sample on fragrancenet for $2.99.

Last the jewelry ! I'm not going to even try to guess what they are worth, and I don't expect much for the jewelry they send you for a $16 box especially when the make-up is so good. So we got a very cute pair of star fish earrings, and a braided leather head band. All in all I am very very happy with this months box and will continue my subscription.

That's it hope you enjoyed it!

And for fun her is a photo of me wearing just make-up from my last two tombox's !
