Hey Guys! 

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my GBP for September! 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. They also just released yet ANOTHER box called Ipsy Ultimate which I believe was created to compete with BoxyLuxe. This box is $50.00 a MONTH and included 8 FULL SIZED products and 4 deluxe/sample sized products. I am currently only subscribed to Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. Starting in October ALL boxes will come with a makeup bag and we will be able to pick one product in our box (GBP & GBU). Glam Bag you will be able to pick two. 

The theme for September is "Discover Yourself". There was one item that I saw in the spoilers that I was hoping to get!  Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts. Also, make sure to check out the discount codes below for the month!

Hey Guys,

I am sooo behind on my subscription box reviews. I have had a lot of other content that I've wanted to post so I haven't gotten around to posting them. That being said, I am going to try my best to get two posts up a week so that I can catch up but I'm not making any promises. Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyLuxe for September! For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme. They also offer an upgraded box every quarter called BoxyLuxe. This is an additional $28.99 a quarter and you get 8-9 full sized products.  The theme for September was "All Access". I was pretty excited that we got to pick one of them items in this box and some of the products looked promising! Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts. Also, make sure to check out the discount codes below for the month!

Hey guys,

Today I want to share my review of the new Juvia's Place Shade Sticks. I was lucky enough to get the whole shade range sent to me in PR. Their new Shade Sticks come in 30 shades but I gave away the tan/deeper shades to other beauty influencers not on the PR list so that they can try them out and review them as well. I will be reviewing the Fair through medium shades but will leave a link for the full range below. Keep reading to hear more about these new Shade Sticks and my thoughts on them!

 Here is what is said about this product on the Juvia's Place site:

"A full coverage natural and radiant finish multipurpose foundation sticks. comes in 30 creamy and long-lasting sticks. Formulated to feel like skin. A weightless multipurpose formula that glides on seamlessly to cover imperfections, while giving full definition to face.This full coverage formula is infused with shea butter and oil controlling ingredients to aid in a long wear time while providing radiance to skin.

OOTD: Mustard Floral Kimono

Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share a great transitional staple for the for the Spring/Summer and Summer/Fall seasons...the kimono! I have so many and think that they are just so fun and versatile. You can easily dress them up or down and they also work in most seasons. You could really wear these in the winter too but I stick to heavier cardigans and such just because its so cold in New England during the winter months. Kimonos are great layering pieces to be worn over dresses, dress pants, jeans, shorts, and skirts! That is why I think they are a great staple piece. Below I am wearing them with jean shorts, a tank, and wedges for a more casual end of the summer look. I have also worn this same cardigan with a longer tank top, leggings, and flats to work. I plan to wear it with a cropped top and high waisted jeans too! Keep reading to get all the outfit deets! I will also share some of my favorite places to buy Kimonos at the bottom of this post!
