Makeup Using Naked 3

The Urban Decay Naked 3 palette is one of my favorites and also my go to eyeshadows.  

The other night, I went out with my family for my grandfathers 89th birthday party!  I wanted to look natural since I was with my family and just going for dinner and didn't want to go too crazy on my makeup.  The Naked 3 palette is a great palette if your looking for neutral colors and want to stick to looking natural.

March 2014 ipsy Bag

So I got my March ipsy glam bag in the mail yesterday! I always get excited when I see that pink package in my mailbox (: It's like i'm a little girl getting a new barbie doll, well at least I was excited when I always got one. 

An ipsy glam bag is a subscription you pay $10 for every month that you can cancel at anytime or $110 for a full subscription of the year.  You get 4 to 5 products inside a cute makeup bag.  Some of the items they give you are sample sizes or full sizes.  If you love makeup and want to try anything thats out there, get this subscription.  It's amazing and such a good deal! 

Okay, now lets get started!

This is the makeup bag this month that all of my items came in.  It is adorable! 

These were all the products above that I got in my March ipsy glam bag.

(Nicole by O.P.I - $6.99 at Ulta)

In my ipsy bag, I got the Nicole by O.P.I nail color in "On What Grounds".  It is fro their roughles collection that is new. "On What Grounds" is a gorgeous turquoise color.  There are 3 other colors in the roughles line.  You also have a pretty light purple color (I'm Stucco On You), a pink color (Rock The Look), and a yellowish orangish color (Sand In My Shoe).  Where do they come up with these awesome names!? I did have to put two coats on my nails, but I would definitely check this line out.

(BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick - $18)

I got a sample sized BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in the color "Get Ready".  I have never tried the BareMinerals lipsticks before.  I never was a fan of BareMinerals at all, but this lipstick, I have to say I am a fan of.  It's a really pretty not so dark pink color.  It looks really nice for the spring.  Definitely try a sample of it! You can go find this lipstick here.  

(Pixi Mini Flawless Beauty Primer - $9 original size - $22)

The Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer evens the skin tone and gives your a youthful healthy glow.  You would put this on before your foundation.  The pearl extract ingredient in this primer protects your skin and is anti-aging.  It also hydrated my skin when I tried it out, gave me nice glow, and my makeup did stay on for a while.  You can find this product at their site, just click here.

 (Be A Bombshell Cosmetics eyeshadow - $16)

The last item I received was the Be A Bombshell eyeshadow quad in "Bora Bora".  I really don't play around with colors like these but I just love that red color and the copperish color.  They are very pigmented.  If you want to check the rest of the colors out, check on their site by clicking here. 

The total of all the items that I received in my March bag was $42.99.  I only payed $10 for this months bag.  It's a great deal what ipsy does.  Great subscription to get.  If you would like to get a subscription or check out the ipsy site, just click here. 

Are you subscribed to ipsy already? What did you get in your March glam bag?

My MAC and Sigma Wish List!

So for the past two months, I have been really loving these items from MAC and Sigma.  Money is a little hard for me right now, so these have been on my wish list for a bit.  I will one day have these items! MAC is an all time favorite brand of mine and Sigma brushes are a just must need right now for me since my brushes that I have are old and not so good.  

1.  MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in "Soft and Gentle"

I have heard so many people rave about this.  It is great for a highlight. I have seen many videos on YouTube of people using this product and it looks absolutely amazing! 

2.  MAC Prep & Prime Highlighter in "Light Boost" or "Radient Rose"

The Prep & Prime highlighter.  I believe this is on everyones wish list!  This is a must need if you a looking for a great highlighter to put on top of your concealer.  I use the MAC pro long wear concealer and I have seen Jaclyn Hill on YouTube use that concealer and put this on top of it, and it's flawless.  It gives such a nice bright under eye look.  This will be one of the top items I will be buying first on this wish list. 

3 & 6.  MAC eyeshadows in "Amber Lights" and "Coppering"

These colors together are absolutely beautiful and would look great with any eye color.  They are high pigmented.  I have seen these also used on Jaclyn Hill and it looks great! These also will be one of the items I buy first from MAC.  

4.  MAC Powder Blush in "Peaches"

I just love this color especially when I am contouring my face.  I feel it would look amazing with the contour.  It's not to red and not to pink, it's just a perfect peachy color.  Exactly what I want!  

5.  MAC Shaping Powder in "Emphasize"

I have not found a great under eye setting powder yet and I have used the Ben Nye Banana Powder and I have to say I am not a fan.  After I have seen Jaclyn Hill (yes, I watch her a lot on YouTube.  She is basically my idol. Haha) use this on top of the highlighting pen, it just finishes off that under eye highlighted look and it's flawless, and absolutely gorgeous!  This will be another item that I will be purchasing first when I get a chance.  

7 & 8.  Sigma Kabuki Brush Set & The Sigma F35 Tapered Highlighter Brush

So like I said before, I NEED NEW BRUSHES!  The Kabuki Brush Set would be great for blending, putting on my foundation, and putting on my concealer.  The F35 Tapered Highlighting Brush would be great to put on my setting powder for under my eyes and also to help put the highlighter on.  I have seen many YouTubers use these brushes and it looks beautiful and easy to use.  People have raved about these brushes.  

This is only my MAC and Sigma wish list.  I have many more other items that I would love to purchase from Benefit, Too Faced, Anastasia, and many others.  If you have any other recommendations that is a must have that I should take a look at, comment below.   I would love to check anything out!

Has anyone tried any of these items? What do you guys think of them? Also I would love to hear what is on your wish list.
