Ipsy Glam bag Review: March

yay its here!! I was getting a little worried because I had not received my tracking email yet ( which is wrong every time anyways), but it came after I checked my mail and already had my bag!!

This bag is awesome. I am always excited for them every month but this month I was extra excited. Although this is the first time I have received only 4 products, they were awesome ones so im ok with that.

So here is MY March Ipsy Glam bag!!

BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready

This was only a sample ( BOOOO). I was surprised. It was the first time I have gotten a lipstick SAMPLE in my ipsy bag. I was ok with this before receiving it because I have a ton of lipsticks and I prefer gloss BUT this is actually an awesome color and it looks more like a gloss on ( at first) then a lipstick! I really like it! Great for the spring!

Price for a full size: $18.00




Roughles by Nicole By OPI in On What Grounds

OBSESSED already!!! I was so excited for this if nothing else in my bag. We all know my obsession with Nail polish. A few days ago my polish started to chip. Now I change my color at least twice a week. With my obsession and having a toddler boy it has to happen often. I went without color on my nails ALL DAY today because I was waiting for this! So glad it came today. Its so pretty! You have to do a few coats to make sure it covers the nail but Im loving it. I know its gonna be a pain to get off because all textured polishes are, but sooo worth it! The color is fantastic! And it dries quick which is a plus! The only annoying thing is how thick the brush is. I cant remember if this is all OPI polishes or not.

Price: $7.00

Bora Bora Eyeshadow Quad By Be a bombshell Cosmetics

This is wonderful!! Such a good brand and product. Not colors I would choose for myself ( the teal and copper color) but they really do look great! This and the polish more then make up for only having 4 products!

Price: $16.00

Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches

Im actually really excited to try these. I have to do more research on ingredients and probably wont try them until after I have the pregnancy though. Hopefully its a product I end up loving!

Price: $16.00


Love this bag like I said before!!! I also love what they are doing with the theme and bags.

UPDATE on a product from last month:
I recently found out that the POP Beauty lip gloss we received in our February bag is a dud. Women are having bad reactions to it such as swollen lip or hives. Not cool. Luckily I haven't been using it because Im not a  fan of the color. Im not sure what Ipsy is doing about it, if they plan to do anything at all.

An update email I got from ipsy after they read my post:
"As a result of a manufacturing mistake, the flavor/fragrance normally included in the gloss was accidentally left out of some batches. While the smell was off, we have assurance from POP that the product is safe. We're sincerely sorry that your first experience with this product was poor".

"We rely on our community to keep us informed. I'd also encourage you to reach out to POP Beauty customer service regarding your experience with this gloss".

"Both ipsy and POP are committed to providing only the best for our customers, and we’ll be working hard to avoid such mistakes in the future. "

"Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns -- I'd be happy to help. "


I have to say that that was awesome customer service by Ipsy!!! Makes me love them even more~~

 

Thankful Monday

Thankful Monday

 

 

 

That My father in law came and helped put in the new flooring in MJs bathroom this weekend!

 

 

 

That I am slowly starting to feel better from the horrible first tri symptoms of pregnancy

 

 

 

 

For the rain because it means its not cold enough to snow and we are one day closer to spring!

 

 

 

That we live in such an awesome little town who supports each other. Seeing all the simile faces in peoples windows and yard to support the elementary school principle that has cancer is sad but seeing how many people care is touching.

 

 

 

For MJs school. He has learned so much and he loves it there. I love the head master and both of his teachers!

 



Bump Date

Yay this again!!! hopefully I can stick with it since I haven't been great about blogging lately!



13 weeks with #2

Total weight gain/loss:I have no idea at this point. Im gonna say up 5 pounds which is crazy. I was on a medication that made me lose a lot of weight and I got off it right before getting pregnant so IDK where I really started lol

Maternity clothes: No maternity but I just wear leggings when I go out. My jeans quickly wouldn't go up over my butt this time around lol

Stretch marks? No and lets pray it stays that way

Sleep: Oh how I love my sleep. I go to sleep early and have to wake up twice to pee at least and if I cant fall back asleep I start to feel sick and it sucks.

Best moment this week: That the carpet in Mjs bathroom got removed and new flooring put in. 1 of 2 things that need to be done to this house before the baby comes!

Movement: Nope, nothing yet. I'm not expecting it for a while longer.

 

Food cravings: mhmmm food. Right now Im thinking about Mexican food. We tried this place not too far from the house and it was amazing! But my cravings change weekly

Gender: We do not know yet!

Symptoms: Everything is coming on early this time around. Bloating seems to be going down and actual baby bump coming. My sickness is gone for the most part but I do feel it sometimes at night so Im not gonna say its gone. Im uncomfortable... strange

Labor Signs: None.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

What I miss: Wine

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what we are having.

Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy the time you have while being a mommy of just one. This is gonna be my advice for a  while because its really hitting me hard MJ wont be my only.


Instead of a bump picture ( I will post one sometimes) Im going to do Maternity fashion yay!!!

Thankful Monday

 

 

Im just gonna dedicate this entire Thankful Monday to M. I was put on bed rest Saturday morning when I started bleeding. Thankfully the baby looks good and they cant find a reason for the bleed but they wanted to be safe until I could talk with my OB.

 

Since Saturday Morning M has been a Saint! He did 3 loads of laundry, made all 3 meals each day for all 3 of us, kept the house picked up, put dishes away twice, all while taking care of me and dealing with MJ the entire time. He is amazing!!! That is all!

Endometriosis 31 Day Challange

You may or may not know that March is Endometriosis awareness month. So many people don't know about it or what endometriosis even is. If you read my blog you should because I have posted about it before.


I am going to participate in the endometriosis 31 day challange. During this challange I will answer questions provided to me by one of the endo awareness sights.

This post will contain 3 days worth since I'm a little late!

Day 1

For me, living with Endometriosis is:

Painful and a total learning process still. I never know when the pain is going to come, for how long, and how bad. It's different every single day.

Day 2

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in the year of:

2011 after M left for deployment to Iraq. I had pain and it gt worse and worse and eventually stopped going away. After countless test and ultrasounds I was pre diagnosed and sent to have a laproscopic surgery done where they stuck a camera in me. After my 4 hour surgery the doctor told me that I did in fact have endometriosis and scar tissue and it was everywhere. 

Day 3

But I’ve had symptoms since:

2005 from what I can remember
