Ipsy Glambag Plus April 2021

Happy Ipsy Glam Bag Plus Day! I have another exciting monthly bag to share with you, and it's a good one!  Akar Skin Pure Lip Restoration.  Retail Price $30.00 I use lip balms and lip masks way more than glosses and lipsticks these days since most of my time is spent in my home office.

Throw in a slice or two of grapefruit into your glass and fill with ice. Add 2 ounces of your favorite gin. Then 4 ounces of tonic water. Finally add an ounce or two of your fresh grapefruit juice, and viola!  I think this is my husband's new favorite drink. Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below.
