Grace-full Polish ~September 2015 HHC

Grace-full Polish made three custom polishes for the Hella Holo Group in September. I was only able to snag these two but am hoping to find the third one.

 

Poison Apple is a deep burgundy with a brown tint in some lights, its a bit of a morpher.  Wonderful application and wear time. This is 2 coats with top coat.

This is 2 coats stamped with Funky Fingers Bizerk Turq using Moyra Plate 13.

 

Zombie Tears is a teal holo polish. Wonderful application and wear time. This is 2 coats with top coat.

This is 2 coats with top coat stamped with Sinful Colors Casablanca using Moyra Plate 11.

Price: These polishes are no longer available unless you are a member of HHC and can find someone reselling it.

Where to buy: These polishes can only be bought by HHC members if you find someone selling but check out Grace-full Polish and grab some of her polishes.  Grace-full Nail Polish

Overall: I want to buy more Grace-full polishes but since she’s in Australia Ill have to find a stockist or buy from destashes. The polishes are really nice and wear time is great for me.  Really hoping I can snag the Candied Pecans from someone since it’s a gorgeous brown 😀

Smitten Polish ~ Bengal Tiger HHC Custom

In August of 2015 Smitten did three customs for the group Hella Holo Customs.  I wasn’t able to buy any of them but was able to snag this beauty a couple months ago from a fellow member.

 

Bengal Tiger is a beautiful orange holo polish. Application was great and went on smoothly.  I got great wear time out of this polish, I wore it for a week with just minor chipping towards the end.  This is 2 coats with top coat.

 

This is two coats stamped with Sinful Colors Wish using Bundle Monster BM-S160.

 

Price: This polish is no longer available unless you are a member of HHC and can find someone reselling it.

Where to buy: This polish can only be bought by HHC members if you find someone selling but check out Dreamland and grab some of her polishes.  Dreamland Lacquer Website

Overall: Smitten was rebranded as Dreamland Lacquer. I will definitely be buying from Noelie makes gorgeous polishes and the application and wear time are big for me with my job. I have a wish list now of Smitten/Dreamland polishes that I want :D. I’m glad she did HHC customs so I could try her polishes <3.

 

 

July 2016 Ipsy Glam Bag – Hot Summer Nights

This months bag is a holographic bag with little umbrellas on it. Really cute for summer and of course I love holo <3.

 

The first product I received was Nunzio Saviano Anti Frizz Sheets – I haven’t tried these yet as I’m still using up hair products from previous bags.

 

The second product I received was Mellow Cosmetics EyeBaked Shadow in Plum – Plum is described as a cranberry-colored shade that also gives a gold-ish glow. This is a really pretty shadow and wears really well.

 

The third product I received was Make Up For Ever Excessive Lash – I can’t wait to try this but I’m still using my Smash box mascara from last month so I haven’t opened it yet.

 

The fourth product I received was em cosmetics the great cover up concealer – I was really looking forward to this product as I have been trying to find a good concealer. I haven’t used it yet as I haven’t done my make up  but I am excited to use it.

June 2016 Ipsy Glam Bag – Rebel Rebel

This month’s bag is suppose to look like it has graffiti on it. It’s really cute and different from previous bags.

May 2016 Ipsy Glam Bag -Destination Chic

This month glam bag came in three colors Pink, Blue and Purple. I got pink but traded for the blue ;).  It has a travel theme so there are different symbols for countries and tourist attractions.

 

The first product I received was Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow Trio – I love this trio! All the colors go so well with each other and blend wonderfully. I’m already a fan of Pacifica and each time I get eye shadow I love it.

 

The second product I received was Eva NYC Hungry Hair Oil Treatment –  First of a little goes a LONG way! I recommend using less than what the directions say to use. This was definitely a nice treatment for my hair (once I figured out the correct amount to use lol).

 

The third product I received was BellaPierre Cosmetics Nude Gel Lip Liner Pencil – I love this lip liner especially that its a neutral color. It works great with all of my lip sticks ❤ . It goes on smoothly and wears really well.

 

The fourth product I received was Vera Mona Eye Smudger Brush – this is a really nice brush and application is smooth with it.

 

The last product I received was Smashbox Cosmetics X-Rated Mascara – Im already a huge fan of Smashbox so of course I love this mascara. I love getting mascara in my bags since I don’t wear make up every day its a great way for me to have it and it not go bad before I use it up 😀

 

Overall this bag was perfect this month :D. As I keep saying honest reviews really help shape your bags.  If you are thinking of signing up here is my link: Ipsy Referral Link

April 2016 Glam Bag – Dreamers

 

April’s glam bag was really unique each one looked different due to the pattern. It kinda reminds me of paint that was poured into water and dragged around with a tooth pick.

 

The first product I received was tarte cosmetics deluxe LipSurgence lip creme in Wonder – this went on smoothly and wore really nice. Another pink lip color for me so its not a go to for me but Id like to try more colors from tarte.

 

The second product I received was Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Irina – this is a really pretty grey with purple tint polish. I have been waiting for fall to try so I should be making a post about it soon 😀

 

The third product I received was Trust Fund Beauty That Glo Tho Face Highlighter – I haven’t got down how to use a highlighter but I am learning :D. This is a nice product and Im already a fan of Trust Fund Beauty.

 

The fourth product I received was Crown Brush C427 Duo Fiber Blush Brush – I don’t wear blush but I love this brush for my setting powder.  The bristles are nice and soft and holds product really well.

 

The fifth and last product I received was Pur~lisse Blue Lotus + White Tea Sheet Masks & Blue Lotus + Seaweed Sheet Mask –  These are the best face masks I have gotten from Ispy and I need to find them in store.  They left my face soft and fresh feeling, plus they smell really nice.

 

Overall this bag was really good 😀 I keep doing honest reviews and it really seems to help with the products I get.  So if you’re not happy make sure to do the reviews and leave honest feedback.

March 2016 Ipsy Glam Bag – hello Spring

 

I was super excited for this bag since March is my birth month.  There were 2 versions of the bag; the one in my picture which is red with blue roses and the other is blue with red roses.

 

The first product I received was Beau Gachis Eyeshadow Brush – this is a really nice brush. The bristles are nice and soft and hold shadow well. Application was really nice and flawless.

 

The second product I received was Marc Anthony True Professional Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco 3 Day Smooth Perfect Blow Dry Cream – A little goes a long way! Really nice application and definitely last (though I didn’t leave it for 3 days).  My hair was nice, smooth & shiny.

 

My third product I received was NYX Professional Makeup Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Pink Lust – All I can say is the color is WOW!  Love the application and wear time but the color is very bold for me. I don’t wear it often but I am trying to get bolder with my lip color.

 

The fourth product I received was Manna Kadar Eye Shadow in Fantasy – This is very lovely color of Bronze eye shadow but I haven’t opened it yet since Ipsy has sent me so many bronze/brown shadows.

 

The fifth and final product I received was Temptu Warm Glow Bronzer – I haven’t tried this yet as I still need to learn how to use bronzer lol.

 

The little pod pictured is setting powder that I turned points in for.  I used it up so I don’t remember the brand but I really liked it 😦

 

In all the bag was great this month and the products were all really nice. I traded my bag for the blue version since I wanted it and the person I traded with wanted the red version 😀

If your considering joining Ipsy I say go for it, its worth the $10 a month and doing the reviews help shape your bag.

 

 

Vapid Lacquer -Birthday Bitch, I Don’t Feel The Spark & Who Needs Luck?

I was introduced to Vapid through Hella Holo Customs group and Ive fallen down the rabbit hole lol.  Krys is very talented and her polishes are very gorgeous. She has great customer service and her fan group is ran really well. If you don’t own any Vapids you should definitely go buy some.

February Ipsy Glam Bag -Pretty In #Ipsy Pink

 

This months bag is so adorable!  I put it in my purse as soon as it arrived, I have my lip products that I carry all the time in it 😀

First product I got was paula dorf Baby Eyes Enhancer – I haven’t used this product yet as Ive never used this type of product before and have been doing some youtube watching lol. I am looking forward to using it though.

 

Second product I got was Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in I’m Kinda A Big Deal – Ive been waiting for spring to use this and will be doing a mani soon.  I do know that they are high priced so I wont be buying any on my own.

 

Third product I got was Margaret Dabbs London Miniature Crystal Nail File – This is a really nice nail file and I have it in my purse.  I use this when Im on the go, it fits great in my ipsy bag in my purse.

 

Fourth product I got was Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil -Im a little hesitant to use this as oil makes me break out. I have used their other primer and love it so I’ll try this but Im worried it’s going to break me out.

 

The last product I got was BellaPierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Desert Rose – I wont be using this as I don’t wear blush, especially pink blush 😦

 

Overall this bag was excellent, just one product I wont use.  Hopefully Ipsy keeps this trend going. I do honest reviews on each product and it does help.  One day maybe they will make it a little more customizable .

How was your bag this month? Let me know in the comments 😀

Where to buy: Bear Pawlish

Overall: I love Bear Pawlish! The formula is great for me and the colors are gorgeous and unique.  She opens the first Friday of the month and she tries to stay open for as long as she can (usually a week).  Turn around time is approximately 14 business days. I usually have my order in 2-3 weeks.
