Sabrina's January Ipsy Bag | 2015

It's Ipsy time again! I'm nearing a year of glam bags from Ipsy and to be honest, I have so many samples and new products from the bags that I think I'm going to cancel my subscription soon. The company is great and I've only had one bag that was disappointing, but I really don't need more beauty products at the moment. Anyway, this month the theme was fresh start, which I really don't agree with as I think you can (and should) go after a fresh start whenever you feel like you need one. That aside, the bag is so much better than it looked online! One side is blue and the other is white and it has this really lovely lined pattern with a bit of raised texture to it. This is one of my favorite makeup bags and as far as products go, I give it a 4/5. Read on if you're nosy like me or curious about Ipsy bags in general!

Top Winter Lippies | 2014

This post is a little on the red/berry end of the spectrum and that's OKAY because if you can't overindulge in these lippy shades this time of year, when can you?
I love the products I've gathered here as they're all recent purchases that I just can't get over. We have a few hyped up, loved up, raved up products, so if you're ready for your millionth review on a little Kate Moss number and want to know which lippy will see you through a nice warm cuppa (or three), continue reading!

2014 Beauty Faves

2014 is still fresh in our minds, right? Right! So it's totally okay for me to post this mid-January, right? Right! I'm really excited because the blog celebrated its first birthday on Jan. 11th and because I have been blogging and "doing research" (watching beauty vlogs and buying things I can't afford), I have really branched out with my beauty regimen, application methods, looks and most importantly - the products! I've broken this post down into different categories and yeah, okay I cheated a bit and broke the lip products into six sub-categories but it was hard to choose just one and we all need options! The only thing I wish I could have found this year was a standout foundation, but as my skin has been changing a lot, I don't feel it's fair to select any one foundation at this point. I am however crossing my fingers I find a fave in 2015! Also, happy new year!!!

December Faves | 2014

Where has January gone, amirite? Blaming the blur that is winter break, screwed up sleep schedules, TV show binges/movie marathons and family visits, I completely lost track of date/time and missed my appropriate window to post December faves! I was thinking about just not writing this post and sticking to 2014 faves, but I discovered so many things in December that wouldn't be fair to include in a year's worth of favorites, but I do think they deserve their own post so here we go!
