Hey Guys,

It's been quite a while since I did an outfit of the day post. I really love doing them but finding the time on the weekend is what is tough for me. We are always on the go so taking the time to snap some pics is something that I need to get better at. I don't do many indoor outfit pics but with winter right around the corner I may try to change that. I wanted to take the time to do an outfit post sharing my favorite fall fashion staples. I have been so obsessed with cropped peasant blouses, booties, and snakeskin this season. I really enjoyed taking pieces that I envisioned together and bringing the outfit to life. Keep scrolling to see the outfit! I will also link the individual pieces (or something similar) below!

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my Ipsy Glam Bag Plus for October! For those of you unfamiliar with Ipsy Glam Bag, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 5 deluxe/sample sized products each month. The subscription is $12.00 a month and usually has a theme. They also offer an upgraded box every month called Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. This box is $25.00 a month and includes 5 FULL SIZED products. You are able to choose 3 of the products in your box and Ipsy chooses 2 for you. Ipsy's picks are based of your beauty quiz/product reviews. They also offer another box called Ipsy Glam Bag Ultimate. This box is $50.00 a month and includes 8 FULL SIZED products and 4 deluxe/sample sized products. I am currently only subscribed to Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. All three subscriptions come with a themed makeup bag each month (different sizes per subscription type). For Glam Bag Plus, you get your products in a drawstring bag which is also themed. For Glam Bag you are able to pick two items in your bag. With Glam Bag Ultimate you are able to pick one. You are also able to skip a month whenever you feel like it which is a huge bonus offering. I was so impressed with my Glam Bag Plus last month.

I also found out some exciting news at the end of August. I am part of Ipsy's Beauty Influencer Community called Ipsy Open Studios (Ipsy OS). They started a new Ipsy OS program where they send their influencers complimentary Ipsy Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus each month to showcase the subscription to their followers. There are also other perks to this program and I'm so excited and grateful to be part of it. Keep an eye out on my Instagram (@TanyaL527) to see the products featured each month. I decided that I am still going to keep the Glam Bag Plus subscription that I pay for as well because I REALLY love the choice feature that is now offered. Being able to pick what is in your bag is a game changer! I will only review the bag that I pay for on my blog each month an I will share the complimentary bags on Insta stories and on my feed. The theme for this month's bag was Ipsy Magic! Keep reading to see what I got in my bag this month!

My friend Bree (Bree.At.Last) shared these and I thought that they were so cute! I'm obsessed with snakeprint and the price was so affordable. The size zip on the inside step is alot so convenient. After getting them and seeing them in person I was even more impressed. They have memory foam soles and were so comfy!

    On to my thoughts:
    These shadows aren't super pigmented at first swipe but more buildable. The shimmers are definitely more pigmented than the mattes and apply best with your finger. I actually used a Pixi Endless Shade Stick on my lids first with both that looks that I created with these Eye Effects palettes. Doing so helps the shimmer look even more pigmented on the lids. I was really happy with the look that I created using this palette. You can check it out on my IG reels HERE and HERE.

    On to my thoughts:
    I thought that this was a great palette for fall! The colors remind me of the changing leaves during this time of year. I love the warm tones and especially liked the green shade which I used to create a look. Again, I used a Pixi Endless Shade Stick as a base to make the green shimmer shade pop more on my lid. You can check that out HERE.

    On to my thoughts:
    I thought this palette was beautiful! The highlight shades are so pretty especially the pink shade that seems to shift in color. I love that these palettes can not only be used on the face but also on the eyes. I have been using both palettes non stop but this one is my favorite of the two.

    Review: New Pixi Beauty Eye Effects Palettes and Nuance Quartettes

    On to my thoughts:
    This palette is also pretty but the dark pink blush isn't my favorite. I prefer more subtle blushes like the second blush in this palette. Both highlighters are so pretty. The lighter highlighter works better for a highlight on me and the more pinkish purple highlighter would be better as a blush topper or eyeshadow.

    Overall, I really like all four palettes. While not every shade in every palette worked for me; there are definitely some gorgeous shades in each palette! However, if I had to pick which palette type that I would recommend more I would say the Nuance Quartettes. They are more versatile considering that you can use them on your face and your eyes. My favorite of the bunch is definitely Honey Nectar.

    Favorite Neutral Lip Products

    Favorite Neutral Lip Products

    Hey Guys,

    I've been trying to mix things up and share different content besides reviews and unboxings. Today I am going to share my all time favorite neutral lip products! If you have been following me for a while now you know that 90% of the time I am wearing nude/neutral shades on my lips. I think reds are beautiful but they are very high maintenance. I wear those a few times a year but other than that I don't get very colorful with my lips. I have never been a fan of bright shades like hot pinks or fuchsias. Neutral/nude shades are just so easy to wear and great for everyday. I have an insane amount of lipstick so narrowing it down was pretty hard. Keep reading to find out my favorites!
