The month of Thanksgiving!!! And yes, I have a lot to thank for. I'm blessed with family and friends who are very understanding and always there for me. And news that I got hired at the hospital I'm applying for~ Wooohoo~~~ Thank you for the prayers *insert heart here*
I had my last day at work already, thanked everyone at worked. I have a week free of stress (well not really) before I start on Monday.
Also I thank that I subscribed to Birchbox and Ipsy! Hahaha! Yes... I'll deviate there hahaha! Work is stressful, one of the few things that makes it less is getting these box/bag every month, it is as if (as the others are saying) "it's your birthday every month." Some may say that it's a waste of money, well it makes me happy :P and it's not as if I'm spending hundreds of dollars, yes it's a few bucks, but compared to my stress level its nothing.
Anyway, November month I started to subscribe to Ipsy~ I got lured into it from the positive (and negative) feed backs of other subscribers, and getting more skin care products from Birchbox. I like getting random stuff but not from the same category.
First off, since it's my first Ipsy Glam Bag, them for the month is Glitter
1. Be Delectable from Cake Beauty Hand Cream in Strawberry and Cream
It smells really sickening sweet like you want to eat it, but alas it's a hand cream. The scent to me is a bit tiring so I can only last for a day, after that I need to switch to something else because it's too much for me. What I like about this product is that it does moisturize and keeps your hands soft and it's not sticky. I have don't know where the glitter here is xD!
2. Glamglow Powdermud Dual Cleanse Treatment
I'm still debating whether to use it or not, smells good and it doesn't have an ingredient that I'm allergic to (well as of the moment since I did just recently found out that I'm allergic to macadamia oil). I like how it smells, I work with my nose xD! well not really but if I don't like the smell I don't like to use it, most of the time.
3. Be a Bombshell eye base in Submissive
Before trying a new product I read what are the stuff in it, yes I'll try it even though it has parabens on it (of course I'll like it more when it doesn't have it ^^;) but because I learn which and which not I am allergic to. This product has macadamia oil *cry* in it so I'll pass using it. Color wise, at first it's a shimmery bronze color but I had my sister (huehuehue~) test it, it comes out mostly as a shimmery base.
4. Jcat Wonder Lip Paint in Mad Splatter
It is highly pigmented, a little goes a long way... it's a deep purple or mauve. Something you can wear in the office, like a power lip color (is there such a thing?) but not when you're going shopping or exercising... or a lip color suited for going out at night, just add something glittery/shimmery/ glossy for clubbing at it's a bit matte to me :P
5. Starlooks eye pencil in Ultra Violet
The item I most enjoyed in the bag. As the color suggests it's in ultra violet, with specks of glitter in it. I have a not so good relationship with eye pencils, but this one's very soft, quite pigmented and glides easily in my lid. I don't have to fight with the pen or my lid xD!
Birchbox on the other hand is helping raise awareness and money for the fight against AIDS, and was donating $1 for every Instagram photo with hashtags within the month. Maybe not a lot but with the collective efforts of the subscribers, we could reach thousands~
1. Gilchrist & Soames body lotion in Relaxing Sea Fennel
It's more of a cool cucumber scent and yes a total opposite from the one I received from Ipsy. I would use this more compared to the hand lotion I received as the scent isn't sickly sweet. Doesn't feel greasy and to me leaves a cooling sensation.
2. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive
Another peel ._. haha~ I think I received three already. My face is dry already, I have to look it up somewhere if using peels would make it worse. I would pass using this one for now (or maybe use it on my sister huehuehue~)
3. Coola Mineral Sunscreen in Matte Tint
Sunscreen with SPF 30 and a BB cream. I guess good when you're out in the sun, something to take note of when summer comes xD! It's already almost Winter, if not already (heh I fail my seasons) I like how it glides to my skin, and can be used as a base for your make up.The matte finish takes away the shine on your face. But don't forget (like me) to use a moisturizer before.
4. Model Co Party Proof Matte Lipstick in Get Naked
Nude color. It's in matte, it looks like your not wearing any lipstick at all, thus the "Get Naked". I don't know what else to say *sweatdrop*
5. Chuao Firecracker Chocolate
"Mini Chocolate bar with a dash of chipotle and popping candy in dark chocolate" - The popping candy is a nice touch, but it taste's bad, even my sister (who loves chocolates) didn't like it. I don't recommend trying it, not unless you really want to, go ahead. I ain't paying for it lol!
6. Klorane Dry Shampoo with oat milk
I know I'm lazy, but not that lazy to wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner. I won't be trying this one anytime soon, not unless I'm really in a hurry. But with my profession, this won't work. I have wash my hair with water to make me feel like I've removed all the gunk out or something liek that. Hair's feel softer though xD!
I'm not really good with ending stuff so lol! Let's jump to the December hahaha!
