Ipsy Membership, Do you have one? I do.

I love my ipsy glambags so far.  This year, my husband got me set up with my ipsy subscription as a Mother's Day present.  I love it.  You get something different every month, a new makeup bag, and you never know what it's going to be.  I've gotten three bags so far.  The first was a really cute orange travel inspired bag.

I got eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and I can't remember what else, but I loved it all.  You get five products and it's chosen by the choices you made on their beauty quiz.

The second one I got was a multishade blue bag. Here's a pic of me trying out one of the eyeshadows I got from my ipsy glambag.  It's by a brand named Pacifica, which is vegan and cruelty free.  I love that!  And these colors weren't something I would have picked out myself, which is nice, because then I get to explore and get a little creative.

That green turned out like a fun look, I think.  My last bag I got is a pretty holographic makeup bag, which I decided to give to my daughter.  If you guys are interested in watching me open my glambags, I can put a link here to my instagram and youtube channel where I post videos of my makeup tutorials and unboxings, as well as other stuff.

If you want to sign up yourself, use my link.  Ipsy is $10 a month.  Five makeup items, some are full sized too and a cute makeup clutch every month.  I love looking for that pink pouch in the mail every month.  If you want to try it out, here's my link.

Makeup with Talc

I am not the kind of woman that wears makeup everyday. I do like to wear it every once and a while and I definitely wanted to wear some makeup for my wedding. I had always wanted to try the mineral foundations that so many brands had started making. Buy these powdered foundations with care. Make sure you read the ingredients. You do not want any type of powdered make up with talc in it. It is considered to be highly unhealthy if you breathe it in. Supposedly, it has been linked to cancer. This is very scary especially since it is very popular in make up. I did however find a few make up brands that did not contain talc. The first time I went to buy makeup though, I bought one with talc and had to go back to the store to exchange it. The brand I went with was Maybelline. I can not say that this is the only brand to get, nor can I say that this brand will always be a sure thing. All I can say is you should try to be as aware as you can of the all the chemicals you put on your body.
