Sabrina's September Ipsy Glam Bag | 2014

It's Ipsy time! When I saw this month's preview online, I was so excited to finally receive a brush a deep red nail polish! I have to say this time Ipsy really gave me what I've been waiting for I mean, the bag alone is so cool and such a good size.

Summer is in full swing and for me, the most exciting bit of this hot weather is altering my makeup routine. I'm not one to limit certain shades and finishes to specific seasons, but I do tend to reach for the brighter shades and a lot more pastels in the spring and summer. That being said, I've been reaching for the following lippies quite a bit so I think it only right to share my top five lippies for summer! *Fair warning - I attempted to be a little more creative at the end and not just post the standard pictures here and I'm not quite sure I love how they turned out, as in they're quite weird. A little weird. Maybe just different.*

Top 5 lip products for spring

Hello there!

Week three of #lippymonth is here and it's all about the lippy I've been sporting A LOT so far this spring. For some reason, I've been really into glosses and lip products that give that juicy look, which is strange for me as I am a total matte lipstick lover. Maybe it's the weather or maybe it's the fact that some totally amazing products have been coming out lately, I don't know! Anyway, here are my top 5 lip products for spring:

Brand Focus: Maybelline Color Elixir

Week two of Lippy Month is running a bit late, but at least I'm caught up on my school work!

From L to R: Breathtaking Apricot, Blush Essence, Rose Redefined, Mauve Mystique and Vision in Violet

It's no secret that I am a lipstick girl, but I don't think of it as cheating when I say I'm totes obsessed with Maybelline's Color Elixirs. Yes, they're technically lip glosses and yes, I really can't stand the look and feel of lip gloss (think sticky, shiny, ick), but these are different. Maybelline says they provide the color of a lipstick with the hydration of a lip balm and the appearance of a lip gloss. That being said, you really can't blame me for loving these glosses because they're practically lipsticks. Sort of.
