I sit here with my tea and my blankie wrapped around me. Damn this frozen winter will just not quit!! Since it is too cold to go anywhere I am playing with my Ipsy Glam bag.

Wow this week has been full of mail goodies for me. My Topbox came on Tuesday and I finally got around to playing with some of the products in it. I opted for the regular box this month and I think it is pretty good.



May 2013 Topbox



cuccio colour

Full Size: 14ml/ $10
I have never heard of Cuccio before so I am curious to see how this polish applies. The colour I received was So So Sophia which is a very light beige-y cream. I needed a really light off white so I like it. J Cuccio is a natural nail, hand and foot treatment line. No animal testing.
 


lise watier - stylista

Lise Watier Haute Coloreur High Coverage Lip Lacquer in Stylista     deluxe sample
Full Size: 6ml/$23.00
Lovely berry colour. I haven’t really had the chance to wear for very long. Maybe tonight on my trip to the grocery store. Yeah I am having a wild Friday night HAHA. But back to the lip lacquer – it is on the thicker side, a teeny bit sticky so I am thinking this will last a long time on the lips. I love the colour. It is so me.

yaby - dragonling

Yaby Eyeshadow Refill in Dragonling   full size
Full Size refill: $3.15 to $3.85
Have I ever mentioned I love purple? So when I saw this I was like Right On! Dragonling is a vibrant matte purple. The pan is pretty tiny (about the size of a dime) but it is designed to fit in yaby’s magnetic well systems. You can get the freestyle well for $21.75 or the 40 eyeshadow well for $23.75. A complete 40 shadow palette will run you $136   O_o I received a yaby concealer in my Ipsy Glam bag this month as well. So it will be a nice intro into yaby products. Luckily I have some freedom palettes I can put these in.
 

roberto cavalli perfumed shower gel

Roberto Cavalli Perfumed Shower Gel    deluxe sample
Full Size: 50ml/$80 75ml/$105
Holy crap! That is some expensive shower gel! I really don’t think I would be spending my money on an expensive shower gel. The scent is alright, a tad on the masculine side. I like it better than the actual perfume I received a few months back. It isn’t as overpowering.

I really liked this month’s Topbox. The purple shadow sold me though it is tiny. I was surprised I liked the colour of nail polish I received. It is not something I would have bought myself. I will use everything in the box! How did you like your Topbox?
Now I am off to walk the dog in the rain (yay?) and then go do my grocery shopping. Good times :P
 

Ipsy Glam Bag May 2013

This is my second Ipsy bag. While I still really like it is not as fabulous as last month but it is still pretty good!

 

The Zoya polishes in this month’s bag are all from the 2013 Spring Lovely line. I was not really impressed with the colour choice I received. Piaf is a yellow slightly golden toned shimmer. I don’t wear yellow polishes. They don’t look good on me at all. While I can appreciate the fact that Zoya was included this month, I would have preferred another shade. But I choose to look at glass half full and will try using this polish for stamping.  I have images of this stamped over black maybe?

This smells so good. I love the smell of coconuts. Mmm It isn’t really a body bronzer. It just adds some shimmer as you moisturize. I put this on my legs today. My shins looked glowy but not overly so and I smelled amazing!

Generous amount of product, great roll on applicator but I am not totally digging the scent yet. It is alright but it didn’t make me too excited. It a just little too sweet for me.
 


yaby cream concealer - honey

A Canadian brand! I haven’t really played around with this concealer yet but at first glance it seems it could work for me. The colour I received is Honey. I swatched it on the back of my hand and it blended seamlessly. But the back of my hand is WAY darker than my face. This is my first time trying yaby and so far so good. The product felt pretty smooth and creamy without being greasy-ish. Yaby can also be found at yabycosmetics.com here in Canada.
 


mirabella daydream

I sported this today too and I really liked it. It is now a purse staple J. The colour I received is Daydream. On me it comes off as a beautiful sheer nude rose. Love it. The only thing bad I can say about it is that it wasn’t as moisturizing as some of the lipsticks I have been wearing lately but that ain’t no biggy.
