All the Goodies

Pixi Mini Flawless Beauty Primer ($9):  I have used pixi primer in the past, it is really nice.  It is not like the silicone primers I have tried but more creamy and the finish has a little shimmer in it.  I love that I now have a travel sized tube to use.

Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad in Bora Bora ($16):  I love getting new eyeshadows in sub boxes.  These shades are also right up my alley.  

Bare Minerals Moxie Lipstick 1.5oz ($9)  I received the shade get ready a rosy neutral.  This photo looks rather pink but the shade is quiet nice!  I love lipstick so this is a welcome product, and I have heard good things about bare minerals lip products.  

I totaled this months Ipsy Bag at $42, not bad for the $10 I paid for it.  I love how this months products got back to basics, lipstick, primer, eyeshadow and nail polish all things I can use!

I had to try my new spring Zoya Awakening shades right away!  Spring seems so far away here but it is still time to break out the pastels.  I also received my bottle of Frozen from and indie polish brand Whimsical nail polish by Pam.  This is a gorgeous glitter topper, true to its namesake.  I love everything Disney so I had to pick this one up and it does not disappoint.  I can't wait to try Frozen over some other colors this spring.  For this mani I used Zoya Hudson a shimmy purple metallic, ring finger Zoya Rebel a shimmy baby blue metallic topped off with Frozen.  I love this mani!  Have you broken out your pastels yet?

Julep Cameron & Julep Rosa

I couldn't wait to use some of these February Julep colors.  Julep's February theme was the Dramatic Collection, I added Cameron on to my box, I love these kind of polishes.  Cameron is a lilac purple texture stardust polish.  The color is lilac and dries to a matte finish with purple glitter chunks.  I love this color!  It only took one coat for this look.  I topped it off with a very thin coat of Rosa, Julep's February birthstone polish.  Rosa has holographic purple glitters in a clear base.  Each polish is great alone, but I think the coat of Rosa over Cameron adds a little more flair!  If you want to become a Julep Maven CLICK HERE and use code FREEBOX for your first box free.  I love my Julep polishes, the March window is open, look forward to lots of bright spring shades!
