Review: NYX High Voltage Lipsticks

Hi Guys,

I'm finally getting around to reviewing the new Nyx High Voltage Lipsticks. I picked some up at IMATS while I picked up the rest at Ulta. These lipsticks are SUPER creamy and pigmented. They are super affordable and come in a large variety of colors. I love them more than the Nyx Butter Lipsticks and Glosses. There are few negatives to this lipstick that I must point out. The first is that they aren't super long wearing. I would say they wear off after a few hours and if you eat, you need to reapply for sure. Since they are super creamy, lip liner is a must for the darker colors. They don't look great on chapped/dry lips so make sure you exfoliate ahead of time. Especially for the lighter colors. Lastly, the caps don't stay on very well.

Nyx High Voltage Lipsticks $5.99

Ulta has BOGO 50% off on Nyx all the time so this is a fantastic deal!

Here are the colors that I currently own:

Here are swatches of the above lipsticks:

L-R: Stone, Flutter Kiss, Tiara, Rags to Riches, Twisted, Wine & Dine, Feline, and Dahlia

Here are some lip swatches of some of these colors:

Wine & Dine

Stone (with a neutral lip liner)

Flutter Kiss

Tiara

Overall, I absolutely LOVE these lipsticks! The colors that I have been wearing the most are Flutter Kiss, Tiara, and Stone. My favorite of the bunch is Flutter Kiss. It is a very wearable color and goes with a bunch of different makeup looks. Tiara is a great peachy/pink for the summer time. Nyx definitely did a great job with these lippies!

Review: Borghese Beauty*

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to talk to you about products from a beauty brand that is new to me. The brand is called Borghese and has a full range of makeup, skincare, and body & hair care. I was able to try out some Borghese products and wanted to give you my thoughts on them and introduce you to the brand.

Review: Ipsy Glam Bag July 2015

Hey Guys, 

I can't believe we are almost into August! The summer is flying by which makes me sad but I'm super excited to go to Martha's Vineyard this week! I will be taking a break from blogging while on vacation but will do my best to get to everyone's blogs as soon as I get back.  Ok, let's move on to Ipsy. For those of you unfamiliar with  Ipsy, it is a monthly beauty subscription service. For $10.00 a month, you get 4-5 deluxe to full size beauty products. To learn more you can check out my previous Ipsy reviews on my Subscription Reviews tab at the top of my blog. The theme for this month was "Summer Lovin". The bag was really colorful this month which made me think of the summer. Also, I was happy to see a bunch of new brands that I haven't seen in past Glam Bags.

Here are the products that I recieved this month:

Check out my video and pictures below to hear my thoughts on this bag!



  Octavio Molina Hair  La Playa Salt Spray $7.75 (travel size)

Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Eyeliner & Shadow $16.00 (full size?) 

Teeez Read My Lips Lipstick in Killing Me Softly $22.00 (full size)

Crown Brush Professional Tweezers $6.99 (full size)

Pur-Lisse Pur-Bright Ultra Skin Brightening Serum $25.84 (deluxe sample)

Here are swatches of the liner/shadow and lipstick:

Total Value: $78.58

Overall, I thought this bag was decent. My favorite items were the Teeez Lipstick and the Jelly Pong Pong shadow/liner stick. However, I really wish Ipsy would stop sending me hair products and skincare because I have no interest in these products and wish they would read my reviews.

Review: Colour Pop Lippie Stix and Pencils in Topanga, Tootsi, and I Heart This

Hey Guys,

I recently bought some more ColourPop products and wanted to share some swatches of the Lippie Stix and Lippie Pencils that I picked up!

I Heart This $5.00 

I Heart This is a red based fuchsia with a matte finish. It makes your teeth look super white and is just an overall awesome color.

Here is a swatch of I Heart This:

Tootsi $5.00

Tootsi is a cool toned grey beige or "greige" and is another matte finish. At first I wasn't sure if I liked this color or not but it is definitely growing on me.

Here is a swatch of Tootsi:

Topanga $5.00

Topanga is a mid toned dusty coral with a satin finish. I really like this color for the summer and think it will look great once I have a tan. I love that this color was named after Topanga from Boy Meets World. I LOVED that show growing up.

Here is a swatch of Topanga:

Overall, I was pretty happy with all three colors that I chose. They are all very different and aren't really like anything that I already own. 

Which of the three colors from above interest you the most? Post your comments below!

How to Get Your Best Fix with Stitch Fix:

Hey Guys,
As most of you know, I have been subscribed to Stitch Fix​ for quite some time now. You can check out all of my Stitch Fix reviews on my Subscriptions Page HERE. I wanted to quickly share some tips on how to get your best possible fix with Stitch Fix. To hear what they are keep reading!

1. Keep Your Style Profile Up to Date: Stitch Fix is always adding new questions to your style profile. Check every few months to see if things have changed. Also, if you have any changes in style or size preference, make sure to update those too!
2. Write a Note to Your Stylist Every Time You Schedule a New Fix: Got a special event coming up? Only want a specific type or article of clothing? Note this when you schedule your next fix! I tend to note what I loved or disliked about my previous fix if something really stood out to me. Also, I tend to note when seasons have changed for me in Boston. For example, I might ask for "items that will transition me into the Fall" for August. I also like to note if I am looking for specific items like "send me sweaters and long sleeves".
3. Always Leave Feedback When You Checkout: Its always best to leave the most feedback possible. What did you like about your fix? What did you dislike about your fix? What did you like or dislike about each specific item? Did you like the color, the style, the cut? Etc. The more info the better. This way your stylist can get to know your likes and dislikes and get your style down to a T.
4. Link to a Pinterest Style Board: Make sure that you link your pinterest style board to your Stitch Fix account. Also, make sure to keep it up to date! Your stylist will make sure to check out your pins to get an idea of your style and likes. Stitch Fix also has their own pinterest boards. They often post clothing and accessories that they carry on their boards. Make sure to pin any Stitch Fix looks that you are digging. This way your stylist knows that you want it in your fix!

I hope these tips have helped you get a better idea of how to get your best fix with Stitch Fix.
