May 2013 Ipsy Bag

Woo hoo! It's Beauty subscription time! This month's theme was spring fling!

This is the bag that we got this month! Let me just say this is def my favorite bag I have gotten in the year I've been subscribed to Ipsy. Love the colors and love love love the design. 

But....

What did I get inside? That is the most important questions??

Inside my bag this month..

1.  Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia Perfume-Love that it is a pretty good size perfume not the little itsy bitzy one's you get from other beauty subscriptions. But I am not a big fan of the scent itself. Kinda smell like a candle or cleaner. 

2. Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment I am a huge fan of Macadamia Natural Oil products so I can't wait to try this out

3. Zoya Nail Polish in Gie Gie-Zoya is def one of my favorite nail polish brands and pink is my favorite color so yeah loving the color I got.

 4. Juice Beauty Lip Gloss in fig-The consistency is nice. The color is a nice and natural color but not a fan of shimmer in lip gloss. If it didn't have the shimmer I would prob use it. 

 4. Yaby Eyeshadow or concealer in Vanilla-It is def bigger than the bite size eyeshadows we got in an older bag. Not sure if it is a creme eyeshadow base or concealer. It doesn't say what it is on the item itself or on the flyer we get?

Overall, I hope we get more fun designed bags like this instead it was a beautiful color and design. I love Zoya and Macadamia products so I will def use them! Loved the size of the perfume but which it was something else. Wasn't a big fan of the scent. Also the lip gloss was too shimmery for me but the consistency was nice and light. And finally the Yaby product was okay. I wish they got newer brands bc we have had Juice beauty and Yaby products before. I think they need to start branching out for new makeup companies. But again that is my personal opinion.

2013 Zoya PixieDust Summer Collection

Summer time is almost here! Are you ready to bust out those sandals! I reviewed the very first PixieDust collection a few months ago and I was super excited to hear they came out with a summer collection! Consisting of 6 different colors this collection has all the summer essential colors! PixieDust is easy to apply you don't need a bast or top coat! 

So let's check out all the colors...

Summertime means hot so what better way to represent the sun than a bunch of yellow and oranges.

Solange is a beautiful shimmery gold color! Match your beautiful J-Lo bronzer with this really nice color. 

Beautrix is a light shimmery orange color with a hint of gold shimmer to it. 

Destiny is a light coral color with a gold shimmer in it. Def brings out the summer with a gold sparkle to it!

Here are the other colors in this collection

Miranda

Stevie is a light lilac color with silver shimmer in it.  It is a really pretty color.

Liberty in person looks like a 4th of July kind of color but for some reason it kept photographing like an ocean blue color. It definitely is more of a royal blue in person.

Overall, I love the gold, orange, coral and lilac color the best. Again the PixieDust polishes look so cool and give your nails a nice matte textured look! You wouldn't think they look good without a top coat but they look nice and there sparkle is great in the sun!

Price-$9 ea or complete set for $54

Mac Ruby Woo vs. Riri Woo

I think everyone was trying to get there hands on RiRi Woo a remake of Macs Ruby Woo lipstick with a twist. I know I joined the part super late and left it on my work computer (I know bad bad girl) while I did work and I probably waited about 30 minutes and it went just in time to get my hands on it before it sold out! I literally got one right before it closed. I couldn't believe it. 

Since I purchased Ruby Woo about a year ago I thought I would do a post to see how different or similar the two are.

All pictures will be with Ruby Woo on the left side and RiRi Woo on the right

Lipstick shot of both Ruby Woo and RiRi Woo (this lipstick has an imprint of RiRi signature)


The first thing I wanted to do was a swatch of both lipsticks. The Ruby Woo looks lighter more tomato red but if you look at RiRi Woo looks more deeper of a red.

So let's see what each looks like on??


Ruby Woo


RiRi Woo


Sorry the lighting is really crappy...but I decided to take a picture of them side by side

Ruby Woo is on the upper lip while RiRi Woo is on the lower lip? 

Can you tell the difference? I hate to admit it but I really can't tell a difference when it's actually on. I can tell a difference with my arm swatches. So personally if you are own a Ruby Woo I would probably save your $$ for purchasing something else in the RiRi collection. I just hope she has unique stuff because if everything is just a remake of other old Mac stuff I will be sad. Since my Ruby Woo is looking nasty I prob will toss it. 

Do you think Ruby Woo and RiRi Woo look different of similar? Comment below. 

Price $15

They are currently sold out but more will be up soon in June. Sign up for their email list here
