Ipsy Glambag Plus January 2021

Image
I am so excited to share details about my first Ipsy Glambag Plus of the year! I think 2021 is going to be a year filled with lots of great makeup and skincare. Let's get started! Complex Culture Power Pose Lip Gloss.  Retail Price $18.00 In my November bag I received a Complex Culture Lip Cream and it has become one of my go-to products. If this lip gloss is as good, then I'll be wearing it all the time. I got the color Champagne Pearl which is a sheer with a sparkly pearl-like shimmer.  Complex Culture Time Pressed Lip Balm.  Retail Price $12.00 Since the pandemic started, I spend most of my time at home, so I use lip balms a lot. Since  Complex Culture has been so amazing with all of their other products, I feel certain I will love this. This balm is said to provide intense moisture which I could definitely use right now! Cela Creme Violette.  Retail Price $28.00 I am in desperate need of a good body lotion, so I'll be putting this one to the test immediately...

Charcuterie Board for Two

Hello everyone! I don't know about you, but I am really missing having parties and gatherings with friends. Even going out to eat isn't an option for most people. Just because we can't have a bunch of people over doesn't mean we can't have our own personal party! One of my favorite things about a party is a charcuterie board. I can't wait to share my tips with you, so let's jump right in and start our party for two! To start you'll need a board and a couple of small bowls or jars. Little bowls are perfect for nuts, jams, and spreads. You may also need a small spoon or cheese knife depending on what you decide to add to your board. Once you've got that, it's time to decide what to put on your board.  Since this is a board for two, I like to forget about the "rules" of what you should have. For your mini-party just put on things you love. I chose to use a soft, mild cheese (Port Salut) and a hard cheese with a bit more bite (Toscana soake...

Glambag time! I'm so excited for the goodies I got this month. I can't wait to share them with you! Ofra Cosmetics Truffle Lip Gloss  Retail Price $15.00 This is such a pretty, shimmery gloss. It adds just a touch of color, but it has tons of shine! And a bonus is that it smells so good! Smith & Cult Nail Lacquer.  Retail Price $18.00 I got the color Bitter Cashmere Daydream which is a gorgeous light green that has a sort of greyish tint to it. I have some other Smith & Cult nail polishes, and they are amazing. They are extremely chip resistant.  Laruce Beauty Face Set.  Retail Price $134.00 Yes, you read that retail price correctly. This brush set is $134! It comes with 4 brushes, so that comes out to  over $33 per brush. While they do feel very heavy and well-made compared to other brushes I've received, I'm not sure most people would be willing to pay such a high price. The bristles are super-soft, so I'm excited to try them.  Tula Skincare So Po...
