I am so happy the weekend is here! I've got a busy weekend ahead, so today's post will be super short! Let's get into some things I've been loving lately that I was sent to try as well as my monthly IPSY bag:
Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen--I've been in an eyeliner rut, using the same ones over and over, so this holiday set from Pixi Beauty has been a welcome change. While I stick to usually brown or black, the other shades have been fun to play with (grey, eggplant). Get these at Target!
Eyelure False Lashes--More stuff for the eyes! I think it's because the holidays are around the corner, but I've been going through false lashes like CRAZY. These are some of my faves from Eyelure. I tend to stick to the Naturals, but all of these have been fun to try. Very easy to wear and you can get these at ULTA, Target, etc.
Stunning Braids--Enough with the face, let's get to the hair. Again, I think it's the holidays that are giving me the desire to make my hair all fancy pants. This had LOTS of fun ideas for braids. There are the basics at the beginning and then it goes on from there. I think I've got my holiday hair ideas set!
IPSY November--The theme this month was Beauty Blast--the bag was adorable. Let's see inside:
- Coolway Hairspray--I don't use hairspray, so I'm passing this one along.
- Beaute Basics Blue Liner--Fun to try and it came with a brush that I of course lost when trying to take the pic. I'll keep it for Halloween or in my freelance kit.
- Tre'StiQue Mini Matte Lip Crayon--At first I was irked because there is no cap, but then I realized that WAS the cap. Cute! I loved the crayon.
- Smashbox Full Exposure--Huge wand, but great volume. I've used this one many times before.
- SinfulColors in Kissy--Love this intergalactic green sparkly polish that I cannot believe I didn't already own.
BONUS:
Just in time for Thanksgiving, I've got a DIY idea for glowing skin. Great way to use those extra cranberries:
What have you been loving lately?
Extra Elle:
- My very first nephew has a birthday party this weekend, so I'm headed back home. Then work for 3 days and then I'm driving back for Thanksgiving.

That pixi liner is my absolute favorite! I use it to tightline and it's so smooth and stays put. Good choice! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Smashbox mascara! It used to be my favorite and then I tried something new but you just reminded me that I want to go back to it! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

ReplyDeleteI like their idea about the cap looking like the actual crayon. These look like great items you received. I must try those lashes soon. xx

I think Eyelure makes my favorite lashes. There are days it's a toss up, but for the most part, I always come back to them. I love how soft they are! (: Have a wonderful weekend Elle!
ReplyDeleteI really need to teach myself how to braid!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to receive my ipsy bag, every time I redeemed my points for items, my bag will arrive super late. The lashes looks lovely, Elle!

I have been needing some new eyeliners and making a Target run soon! ;) Happy travels.
ReplyDeleteAww, happy birthday to your little nephew. The Ipsy bag sounds fun, I'd love to try the mascara and that lip crayon. And I rarely wear eyeliner, but those Pixi ones sound fun!
ReplyDeleteI need to try these eyeliners. That scrub sounds amazing!

Your ipsy bag looks like a good one! And I love the bag. I knew as soon as I canceled mine they're would be good stuff lol!! I'll have to check out those pixi liners next time I'm at target. I need a new one!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of the Eyelure lashes, I must try them! The Volume and Texture look pretty! Happy weekend Elle!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the TresTique shadow stick I got in one of my ipsy bags so I'm sure the matte lip crayon will be nice! I think the Eggplant colored Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen would be a nice switch up from your normal black or brown liner.
ReplyDeleteI cancelled my Ipsy subscription, I wasn't receiving anything I liked so it had to go. I signed up for Lip Monthly and loved everything in my bag. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI got several of the same items from IPSY this month. Oh and I was irked about the lipgloss not coming with a lid as well until I figured it out hehe. Glad I'm not alone on that one. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a bunch of fun stuff! Hope you have a fun weekend celebrating your nephew!
ReplyDeleteI feel in an eye liner rut too, I will have to check the Pixi ones out!! And I love the Sinful color you got! So pretty! I hope you have family fun this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI have been loving that smashbox mascara.

I really want to try those eyeliners in the different shades! I love Pixi! I am not sure if I would have liked that blue liner or the green polish... the other items that you got, I got too and love.
