Review: Wantable Accessories Collection July 2015

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share with you my Wantable Accessories Collection for July 2015. I was really happy with my collection last month. I decided to keep the subscription going and got another box this month. 

For those of you unfamiliar with Wantable, it is a personal styling service that you can sign up for monthly (or whenever you would like). It is $40 for your first box and $36.00 every month after that. You get 4-5 products that are tailored to your beauty profile that you fill out when signing up. If you are not happy with your collection, you can send the whole box back and get a refund. They have 3 different type collections; an Accessories Collection, a Makeup Collection, and an Intimates Collection. They recently just added two more subscriptions that are a little different. The Style Edit and the Fitness Edit. These boxes are a little bit more pricey. You pay a $20 styling fee and they send you 5 hand picked items that you can choose to purchase or send back.

Keep reading to see what I got in the Accessories Collection for July!

ASPEN NECKLACE SILVER $42.00

I absolutely love this necklace! I don't have many statement necklaces that are silver so I was thrilled to see this. The jewels on this necklace reflect a bunch of different colors and match a pair of earrings that I have perfectly. I have worn this necklace alot lately.

ASHTON EARRINGS $16.00

These earrings are so pretty. I love the tear drop shape. I don't own any earrings like this. 

CHAR NECKLACE GOLD $19.00

This is such a simple yet beautiful piece. I love the addition of the rhinestones and pink beading.

ASHLEE EARRINGS G $14.00

These are my least favorite of the collection. They are a cute aztech/bohemian style and I like the teal on the earrings. The shape is just a little different. I will try to rock them though.

Total Collection Value $91.00

Overall, I was really happy with this box. My favorite item was the Aspen necklace. I think that Wantable has done a great job at understanding my style and what I am looking when it comes to accessories. I already got my August collection and just a little spoiler...I LOVE it!

Review: Ipsy Glam Bag August 2015

Hey Guys,

I can't believe the summer is almost over. The summer flew by and its pretty depressing. I hate the shorter days and cold weather. I need to enjoy this last bit of summer and hopefully we will have a warm fall. Anyways, let's move on to Ipsy. For those of you unfamiliar with  Ipsy, it is a monthly beauty subscription service. For $10.00 a month, you get 4-5 deluxe to full size beauty products. To learn more you can check out my previous Ipsy reviews on my Subscription Reviews tab at the top of my blog. The theme for this month was "Prep School". The bag was a cute houndstooth print but I wasn't fan of the plastic material. 

Here are the products that I recieved this month:

Review: ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip

Hey Guys,

I got a bunch of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip liquid lipsticks a while ago and am just getting around reviewing them. I went crazy trying to order these things the day that they were released. The site crashed and finally I was able to place my order around 1 a.m.! These liquid lipstick come in a bunch of colors from neutral, to bright pinks, to dark reds. There have been mixed reviews of these lipsticks. Some people love them while others hate them. Keep reading to hear my thoughts!

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip $6.00

Here are the colors that I chose:

Tulle

Tulle is a dusty mauve burgundy. This will be a great color for the fall.

Lychee

Lychee is a bright warm violet. I really love this color. Its such a fun and summery color. 

Trap

Trap is a dusty greyed out beige. I was hoping to like this more. Its just not my favorite on me.

Solow

Solow is a neutral nude pink. I have worn this color the most as its the most wearable of the bunch that I picked out.

Seesaw

Seesaw is a pastel lavender pink. It just doesn't look right on me. It was also the hardest to apply.

Drive-In

Drive-In is a mid toned bright magenta. Its my favorite of the bunch! I think this color is so gorgeous. 

Midi

Midi is a soft neutral beige. It is FAR too light on me. All I did was put it on my lips once to know that I won't be wearing this one again.

Here are swatches of each color:

L-R: Midi, Trap, Solow, Seesaw, Tulle, Drive-In, Lychee

I am wearing Drive-In in this picture.

Overall, I am really pleased with these lipsticks. YES you do need to apply a lip balm underneath them as they are drying. When I apply a lip balm they are much less drying. All of the liquid lipsticks are extremely pigmented. The formula is more on the watery side but the only color I had an issue with apply was Seesaw. For darker or brighter colors I suggest using a lip liner first. Wear time is 5-6 hours. I notice a little wearing towards the middle of my lips when I eat and drink. All I needed was a little touch up in the middle and I was good to go. I have talked to people that hated these liquid lipsticks however I like them. For $6.00, I think they are great. Just make sure you do the research on the colors. I found that the lighter colors are not my favorites. I like the brighter and darker colors better. I already have a few more that I want to pick up. The next colors on my list are Bumble and Clueless. Because these have recieved so many mixed reviews I suggest that you pick up a couple and try them out yourself to decide how you like them.

Review: NYX High Voltage Lipsticks

Hi Guys,

I'm finally getting around to reviewing the new Nyx High Voltage Lipsticks. I picked some up at IMATS while I picked up the rest at Ulta. These lipsticks are SUPER creamy and pigmented. They are super affordable and come in a large variety of colors. I love them more than the Nyx Butter Lipsticks and Glosses. There are few negatives to this lipstick that I must point out. The first is that they aren't super long wearing. I would say they wear off after a few hours and if you eat, you need to reapply for sure. Since they are super creamy, lip liner is a must for the darker colors. They don't look great on chapped/dry lips so make sure you exfoliate ahead of time. Especially for the lighter colors. Lastly, the caps don't stay on very well.

Nyx High Voltage Lipsticks $5.99

Ulta has BOGO 50% off on Nyx all the time so this is a fantastic deal!

Here are the colors that I currently own:

Here are swatches of the above lipsticks:

L-R: Stone, Flutter Kiss, Tiara, Rags to Riches, Twisted, Wine & Dine, Feline, and Dahlia

Here are some lip swatches of some of these colors:

Wine & Dine

Stone (with a neutral lip liner)

Flutter Kiss

Tiara

Overall, I absolutely LOVE these lipsticks! The colors that I have been wearing the most are Flutter Kiss, Tiara, and Stone. My favorite of the bunch is Flutter Kiss. It is a very wearable color and goes with a bunch of different makeup looks. Tiara is a great peachy/pink for the summer time. Nyx definitely did a great job with these lippies!

Review: Borghese Beauty*

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to talk to you about products from a beauty brand that is new to me. The brand is called Borghese and has a full range of makeup, skincare, and body & hair care. I was able to try out some Borghese products and wanted to give you my thoughts on them and introduce you to the brand.
