Get Ready With Me Series Part 3 & Hikari Blus Review

Welcome back!  Happy Friday!  We’ve successfully survived another week!! 

This blog is part three of the Get Ready With Me and Review series.  In a series of blogs, I've gone over what I've used to create the look you see below.  The last two weeks we have covered the NYX HD Concealers (link) and the CoverGirl 3-in-1 Foundation (link).  This week we will cover the HIKARI blush.

Now, before we get into the blush, I need to catch you up on the steps between the foundation and the blush.  As covered in the previous blogs, you know that I first use a concealer that matches my skin tone to conceal any problem areas, then I apply the foundation, and lastly I use a concealer that is a little lighter than my skin tone to lighten up areas of my face.  After all of that I apply something to set both the concealer and the liquid foundation.

To set my concealer I use Tarte Smooth Operator.  I got a small sample around the holidays with something I bought. It's perfect to set my concealer!

To set my foundation I use Revlon Nearly Naked Press Powder in 010 Fair.

Next I use NYX Matte Bronzer in Medium. This is a staple in my makeup routine.  I discovered it years ago and have probably used it with every single makeup application I’ve done since then.  I use this to do both bronzing and contouring.  I am not someone who does a very harsh contour.  This is mainly because I am so fair, that too harsh of a contour doesn’t look right. 

Finally, I apply the HIKARI blush in Tango.  I got this in my Ipsy bag back in April (link) and I’m not going to lie, when I saw it, I was very intimidated!  I think the best description for the color is an electric watermelon! I’m so glad that I didn’t let that get in the way of me trying the blush because I LOVE IT! 

This blush has such an amazing color pay out, but it would be really really easy to get that horrid 80’s blush look.  I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.  That super bright color applied very heavily to the cheeks.  That wasn’t even a good look then!

To avoid rolling around looking like someone who is trying to relive the 80’s; I have found the best way to apply this foundation is with a stippling blush.  This allows me to apply a sheer amount and build it up until I get the look I am going for. 

The color adds a nice pink to the cheeks and gives a healthy glow.  I think this shade is absolutely perfect for spring and summer!  I honestly think it would be good for most skin tones too.  It gives that pinched pink to your cheeks, almost as if they are naturally that color and you don’t have blush on at all.

After I apply my blush, I pair this with a bit of a highlight because the blush is completely matte.  This is great for people who have oily skin and want to stay away from the shimmery or sparkly shades.  Today I used the Mary Kay highlight, but I’m any highlight would do. 

Next week, for the final blog in this series, will cover what I did for my eye look and a review on the Ulta Lip Crayon that I got as a sample when I did my Ulta order.  If you’re interested in seeing the lip crayon, it’s included in the blog I did about my Walmart and Ulta haul (link).

Until next week!

Xoxo,

Monday Morning Coffee: May Ipsy

Good morning lovelies! I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  Of course, they always seem to go too fast!! I got to spend the weekend digging in the dirt! I wish I would have known how much I liked gardening a long time ago!  I find it so relaxing and wish I would have started way sooner.  I got to put my cucumbers, carrots, and peas in the ground!  I will have to do an updated blog to show you their progress.  It's amazing how fast the little seeds change!

I also spent a busy Saturday visiting our local Farmer's Market and heading to a graduation party for the daughter of family friends of my boyfriend's family.  The make up look I did will be featured in a face of the day that will be my next blog post.  I use some products I've gotten in Ipsy bags... keep an eye out for that!!

Now, lets get caught up on the Ipsy bags!  I am a bit behind on these and we're already into June and I am just discussing my May Ipsy bag! I know... I know... it am behind!  But, there's something about the months this time of year, they just seem to go faster!  If I'm being honest, it's probably just me trying to jam more into these months than other months!  I can't be the only who does this!

I don't usually discuss the actual make up bag that is included in these Ipsy boxes, but I have to talk about this one.  I love that it is a little bit bigger than the bags that are usually included.  I love to re-purpose these bags.  Don't let me fool you, the reason that I don't often use these for carrying make up is because they are just a bit too small. But! They work great for other things.  I do use one in my purse to carry the make up I carry around.  Which is mostly lip products :-| ... My boyfriend calls me a goo hoarder! Ha! ...

But I also have used a bag to carry all of my electronic cords.  I am one of those people who unfortunately have a different cord for each electronic..  I have a kindle, Iphone, and Ipod.  My Ipod is the older version, so it obnoxiously has a different cord than my Iphone.  Anyways, I love having all of my cards contained.  Ipsy bags are perfect for this.

Also, I find Ipsy bags are perfect for traveling.  I have one that I use to carry any medication when traveling.  I use those little travel pots that you can get like 3 for $.99 at Walmart or Target to put medication in that comes in a bigger bottle, like my over the counter allergy medicine or my motion sickness medicine.  Then I put everything in a bag.  Or, when traveling I will some times separate out my lip products.  That way I can just throw the whole bag into my purse.

I also have one at work in my desk.  it's a great way to disguise those feminine products.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who has some stashed at my desk for those 'just in case' moments.  I am also sure I'm not the only one that doesn't want a tampon just rolling around! So, I use one to hide those.

Another idea that I've done.. I had a friend who had a baby boy a little while ago.  For her shower I got her a diaper bag and stuffed it full of products.  I used one Ipsy bag that didn't scream 'Hey I'm a Makeup Bag!' and used it to organize some of the smaller stuff, like nail clippers.  It was perfect and she still uses it to organize her diaper bag.

I have been getting Ipsy for a long time, and that means a lot of little make up bags.  Since I have them, instead of them taking up space and gathering dust in my drawer, I try to find uses for them. Do you have an clever uses for them?  Let me know! I'd love to hear your ideas

Now on to the other products... Now I have to admit, there are more products in this bag that I haven't gotten to try than there are ones I have... I will have to do an update blog later when I finally get the chance to use them.

Now, this is a product I have tried.  Shocker I know… that isn’t the trend with this blog.  I have tried this and I love it.  I was really surprised when I tested this out and it was a good match for  me.  My eyebrows are my weakness.  They aren’t out of control and don’t require that much grooming. I do have some sparce areas that I try to fill in, but I do so very infrequently.  I am afraid of being that person with the crazy drawn on eye brows.  Since it isn’t a technique I am very good at, but I am trying.  I will say I am impressed with this product.  I will do a review soon!  Also, keep a look out for a look of the day where I use this product!

Full size: 2.5 grams for $4.99

Now, I haven’t tried this product other than to swatch it… but, I have to say when I first opened it and was playing with it, I was surprised when I saw it was an eyeshadow.  I honestly thought it was a small sample size of a loose bronzing powder.  The color looks to me like a beautiful warm bronzing color.

Total value of the bag:

Balanced Guru - Style Me Hair Oil (Link)- $11.50

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil (Link) - $4.57

Chella - Eyebrow Color Pencil (Link) - $18.00

NUXE - Rêve de Miel® Facial Cleansing and Make-Up Removing Gel (Link) - $1.50

Jesse's Girl - Pure Pigment Eye Dust (Link) - $3.60

Total: $39.17

This is probably the lowest total value bag I have and also the one that I am less excited about.  I am very excited about finding an eyebrow pencil that works and the hair treatment, but usually I am more excited about more products... However, the great thing, there is always another sample bag on the way!!

Until next time, I hope you all have a wonderful week!

xoxo,

Mikal-Anne

Monday Morning Coffee: April Ipsy

Hi lovelies!  Ok, so I know, this post is SUPER late! Time has just been flying by with everything going on.  So... better late than never, right!? 

Hikari Cosmetics Blush in Tango

What Ipsy says: 

"What it is: Vibrant, easy to blend color that highlights the cheekbones.

What it does: Designed to highlight your complexion, this weightless blush can be used lightly for a fresh look or layered for a dramatic look. An effortless application to the cheekbones that lasts all day!"

I LOVE THIS!!  Seriously!  This is a gorgeous shade! I have pretty much been using this since the day I got it.  The blush is super pigmented and you have to use a light hand when you are applying it.  Otherwise you will end up looking like someone out of the 80’s! I have found that a stippling brush is the best to apply this blush!

LATHER Ultra Face Lotion

What Ipsy says: 

"LATHER’s most popular facial moisturizer, this gentle nutrient-rich botanical lotion is perfect for normal-to-oily, combination or sensitive skin. This lotion has a lightweight texture, absorbs rapidly and does not leave an oily film on the skin. Special ingredients, such as borage and grape seed oils, make this lotion especially effective for damaged or problem skin. Those with sensitive skin will find it gentle and non-irritating. Paraben-free."

Ok, being honest, I haven't tried this one yet... I get nervous trying new moisturizers because my face can be so sensitive and super reactive when I try new skin care...

theBalm Cosmetic NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single in Flirty

What Ipsy says:

"Introducing theBalm's latest addition to the Nude series... Nude Dude! Get a quick look using any combination of these triple-milled shadows or dress up your look by adding water to transform your favorite shades into loyal liners. The shadows can be worn wet or dry and alone or layered for added intensity, so go ahead and cover (or uncover) your eyes."

Ipsy describes this color as a shimmering golden violet and that is the perfect way to describe this shade.  It is really cool! I'm not sure my picture even really does it justice.  The shade can really change depending on how the light hits it.  

I do think this is one that you have to apply carefully because of one reason.  when I first got my Ipsy bag, I always instantly swatch everything I can.  I swatched this one on the back of my hand, much like I did in the picture above.  Later that day, I still had this on the back of my hand and when the light hit it just right, I thought, when did I get that bruise. Then, after further inspection, I remembered it was just the eyeshadow!!... So, be careful! You don't want to have people thinking you have a black eye!!!

MicaBeauty Eye Primer

What Ipsy says:

"MicaBeauty Eye Primer is perfect for everything from sealing in eye shadows and foundation, to enhancing your all-day look. Go from shimmer to matte in just seconds. This waterproof formula provides the perfect foundation for a long-lasting, smudge proof look that is designed for your active lifestyle. This eye primer helps even out skin tone as well as extending and intensifying your mineral eye shadows, without creasing, smearing, or fading."

I have tried this product once and that was enough for me! This is by far the worst eye primer! It is super dry and cakey!  I had a hard time getting it to smooth out on my eyelid.  The whole time I was applying it, I felt like I was tugging at my eyelid. Then, my shadow didn't evenly apply and it creased like crazy!!... This one is definitely going into the drawer of misfits to never be used again!

Mullein & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek Tint

What Ipsy says:

"The Mullein & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek Tint is an all-natural, sheer, tinted balm that gives your lips and cheeks a slight flush and dewy finish. Apply desired amount to lips for nourishment, protection, and color. Dab a small amount on cheeks as a light cream blush. It’s perfect for beauty on-the-go; it brightens the whole face with a sheer rosey flush for the cheeks, gloss for the lips, and a sweet orange scent!"

When I opened this and saw the color, I was super excited... for a second and then I could smell it! I can't put my finger on what it smells like, but it is awful!!  I am so disappointed that the smell is so bad because this is such a beautiful shade!

Cost break down!

Hikari Cosmetics Blush in Tango (link) - $15.00

LATHER Ultra Face Lotion (link) - A 2oz bottle is $21.00. The bottle it got was 1oz = $10.50

theBalm Cosmetic NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single (link) – this is a single of a big pallet that costs $36.  The single breaks down to $3.

MicaBeauty Eye Primer (link) – The full product sells for $44.95 and the one I got in my bag is half the size - $22.00

Mullein & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek Tint (link) – This is a full size product - $10

And the grand total is .......... $60.50!!!!! 

Monday Morning Coffee: March Ipsy Bag

Good morning lovelies!!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know I sure did.  However, why do the weekends always go so fast!?

Today I want to share with you I got in my March Ipsy bag.  I'm sure by now everyone is probably aware of what Ipsy is.  But, just in case you don't, it is a subscription service.  For $10 a month you get a bag with delux size samples of products.  Depending on what the product is, sometimes you can get full size products.  As you can see above, I received a few fulls size products this month.  

I actually googled "What I Ipsy" hoping that Ipsy would have on their website a better description of the service.  What I found I listed below:

"After captivating countless viewers around the world through her beauty video tutorials on YouTube, Michelle Phan envisioned a vibrant community where women could be inspired to express their unique beauty. ipsy is that community!

“ipsy” comes from the Latin word ipse, meaning “sense of self.” Celebrating beauty of all forms in the world, ipsy provides a platform for anyone to express both their inner and outer radiance. When you become a member, you can learn new beauty tricks, participate along with your favorite beauty stylists in monthly looks, and connect with other ipsters who inspire you!"

Once you get your Glam Bag, you can follow along at home with our stylist-created looks, as well as share your own Looks and videos with the community.

The Glam Bag is only $10 a month, or $110 for an annual subscription. Shipping is free in the U.S. and USD $4.95 for Canada. "

This was kind of fun to find!  I think the fact that Ipsy comes from a word that means sense of self is such a cool thing! Make up is suppose to be able helping someone add to their natural beauty and nothing is more beautiful than someone who has full awareness of who they are!  I loved this!  

I was able to find what Ipsy lists as a description of the service:

"Each month, you’ll receive 4-5 deluxe sample or full-sized beauty goodies (including makeup, skincare, hair care, and nail care), along with a stylish makeup bag. 

What I like about this service is that I am able to try out lots of different types of products that I may not normally try and it's only 410!!  I have found some of my favorite products through this service and this month is no exception!

The first thing in my bag this month was a Pixi by Petra Mesmerizing Mineral eye shadow duo in Apricot Glow.  This is so so so beautiful!  The one shade is a beautiful cooper color.  Right now this has become my go to shadow to put into the crease of my eye with a big fluffy brush as a base or even a blending color.  The other shadow is a light golden color that is great all over the eye as a base or even in the crease as a shadow! So pretty! I am loving this combo!  

This is what Ipsy says about this product:

"Give your eyes a shimmery summer glow with this Pixi by Petra Mesmerizing Mineral Eye Duo in Apricot Glow made exclusively for ipsy. These ultra-smooth shadows blend effortlessly and can be used wet or dry, depending on your desired makeup look."

If you've seen my what I packed for a weekend away blog (link), you have already seen this duo.  I see this being a much reached for product for a while!

Now, looking at the Pixi by Petra website, it looks like this is a small sample size of bigger pallets that they have called the Mesmerizing Mineral Pallet.  There are six different palletes that have have six shades.  I think the two in my Ipsy bag are in the Emerald Gold pallet.  These full pallets are $12.

Pixi by Petra, Mesmerizing Mineral Duo (link) - $12 for 6 shades.  So, $4 for this duo

Equitance brightening serum and spot corrector is the next thing.  This is what Ipsy says about the product:

"This pioneering spot-targeting serum formula zeroes in on the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark discoloration. It uses patented technology to continuously deliver the key brightening ingredient, linoleic acid. With daily use, this essential step in the brightening regimen brings clarity, brightness and radiance to skin’s appearance.

How to Use: Apply 2 or 3 drops of serum to fingertips. Dab on face and neck and/or targeted area of concern; gently massage. Apply mornings and evenings."

I am a little nervous about trying this product and so I haven't yet.  What makes me nervous is that this is a dark spot corrector and I have freckles.  Lots of freckles.  So, that leaves me a little nervous about how this serum will effect that.  If any of you know, please let me know.  

Equitance brightening serum and spot corrector (link).  Ok, hold your breath for this one!.. For 1oz, this is $125!!!! ... The sample I have is .24 and after doing a little math, it looks like this is about a $30 value! Good golly.  I guess I better do some investigating to see how this would effect my freckles because they are sure proud of this product!! lol

Ah! I was very excited when I saw this next product.  I have seen lot of people using some sort of eye gels and I wanted to try them!  They are the skyn Iceland Hydro Cooling Firming Eye Gels.  There were 2 packages included and each package has two gels.

This is what Ipsy says about this product:

"When you're run down and stressed out, the delicate skin under your eyes really takes a beating, resulting in puffiness, dark circles and premature wrinkling. In just ten minutes, this cooling transdermal gel patch infuses the eye area with highly potent actives and Icelandic glacial water to firm, tone, brighten and reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles. Eyes are revived, soothed and rejuvenated.

ipsters who sample skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels will receive two pairs of eye gels."

skyn Iceland Hydro Cooling Firming Eye Gels (link) are listed on their website as $30 for 8 pairs.  So for the 2 pairs I have it is a $7.50 value!

Concealers are a difficult product for me.  I have horrible under eye circles, so I need a product that can pack a punch. In addition to that, I am so fair skinned and can have a hard time finding a product that matches my skin.  So, when I pulled out this Evelyn Ion Cosmetics Concealer I was a bit skeptical.  I am still testing and will do a full review later.

This is what Ipsy says about this product:

"Vitamin E, Cocoa Seed Butter, and Organic Coconut, Jojoba, & Castor Seed Oil...your skin is going to LOVE this Concealer! All-natural with certified organic ingredients formulated for sensitive skin makes for one line softening, moisturizing, and imperfection-hiding extravaganza!

Concealer is Made in USA, Gluten Free, Natural & Organic and Cruelty Free.

ipsters who sample the Evelyn Iona Cosmetics Concealer will receive the shade Flawless (medium ivory)." 

The Evelyn Ion Cosmetics website (link) lists this product as $18.75. 

Ah! I love this next product! I was so unbelieveably excited when I pulled this one out! Not only do I love NYX products but this product is great! Ah!  The name couldn't be any more perfect.  It is the NYX Butter Lipstick in Rose.  This is the softest lipstick! It is so creamy and my lips feel so mosturized.  Plus the color packs a punch!! It's great!!

This is what Ipsy says about this product:

"Pamper your lips with a hydrating kiss of smooth Butter Lipstick in 22 luxurious shades. The delicate texture of satin fused with the high color saturation creates an even finish on lips that’s long-wearing and beautiful.

ipsters who sample NYX Butter Lipstick will either receive: Hunk, Little Susie, or Pops."

The NYX website lists (link) list the price of this product as $6.  And let me tell you this, I will DEFINITELY be investing in more colors of this lips stick.  This is quickly becoming my go to lipstick.  It practically lives in my purse!!

So, what kind of value are we looking at in this bag?

Pixi by Petra, Mesmerizing Mineral Duo - $4.00

Equitance brightening serum and spot corrector - $30

skyn Iceland Hydro Cooling Firming Eye Gels - $7.50

Evelyn Ion Cosmetics Concealer - $18.75

NYX Butter Lipstick - $6.00

Total: $66.25!!!

For essentially a $10 investment, I got $66.25 in product plus a make up bag! Amazing!
