… and I’m so glad I did. I’ll be honest, I initially didn’t like it and didn’t think it was as great as everyone claimed. I think that’s because I wasn’t using it right. You have have to tilt your face upwards so you can really be able to start from the base of the eyelashes – so basically, do the mascara face. Pros: Lengthens… alot, volumizing Cons: If you get the wand too close the inner rim of your eye it can hurt because there are so many bristles on the wand and they are kind of stiff. I am honestly WOW-ed by this product. If you’ve been reading my blogs for a while you know that Too Faced Better Than Sex has been my holy grail mascara forever. So how does Tarte’s mascara ($23) compare? I would say it’s so close to being just as amazing. However, I do believe that Too Faced BTS mascara is just a little bit more volumizing. If you want length, this is a great option. It lengthens so much! Hope you guys liked this post! Instagram | Facebook | Youtube What are some of your favorite tarte products? I don’t know about you guys, but I love watching their snapchat stories – it makes me want to buy everything! I’m more active on instagram so if you have one link it in the comments – I’d love to be able to connect more with you guys! <3 *Pic credit: http://ulta.com
Little Black Mesh Dress
Mesh and see through dresses have become such a huge trend lately! Mesh dresses are beautiful for special occasions or even just for a casual spring/summer look! I wore this particular one from Jessica Simpson for a ceremony: This dress has the mesh outer piece and comes with the black inner lining. I paired it with simple black closed toe heels. See my Instagram (<–click the link) for more pictures from the ceremony. It was extremely hard to find similar dresses to this one, but here are some dresses in the same style category: You can find this dress at lulus (click the link to shop) You can find this dress at Dillard’s. You can find this dress at Charlotte Russe. Instagram | Facebook | Youtube What are some of your favorite places to shop for special occasions?
Stila Magnificent Metals Review
Sparkle lovers everywhere were in amazement when Stila came out with their Magnificent Metals Liquid Eyeshadows – literally a dream come true, right? Or am I right? This product is ingenious because it allows the user to bypass using a glitter base before applying glitter. All you would have to do it apply this to your eye. So the real question is: is this better than using a glitter base and loose glitter? Better yet, is it worth $24? See below for a swatch of Kitten Karma When I swatched this in stores I died. It was so beautiful – I knew I had to have it. Once I bought it and tried it out on my eyelids I was actually a little disappointed. I was hoping that it would be super potent and pigmented, but it’s a little sheer for my liking. Even with a primer, it wasn’t as glittery as I’d hoped. I will say however, there isn’t a crazy amount of fall out with this product so that’s a good thing. It will probably work better when you layer it, but I’ll probably just stick to a good old glitter base and loose glitter for now.

Fabletics: Description of the Program and Review
I’m sure that many people have seen the commercials for Fabletics – the athletic wear company that promises high quality workout outfits at an affordable price. The outfits on the website are so cute and trendy. They offer a wide variety of styles: from colorful patterns to simple solid colors with a flirty and edgy touch. You can check out their website by clicking here. The way this works: Shop as a guest OR As a VIP member So what exactly does it mean to be a VIP member? VIP members receive 50% off of regular pricing and earn points towards loyalty items. New VIP members can also purchase 2 leggings for $24. Fabletics sends you an e-mail at the beginning of every month with hand-picked outfits just for you. Then you can choose to “skip the month” or shop. If you choose to “skip the month” you will not be charged the monthly membership fee of $50 (you have between the first and the fifth of the month to skip). You can also cancel at any time! I ordered a grey long sleeved shirt and dark blue leggings with black mesh panels on the legs: Here are my thoughts: Quality: super high quality. The material is stretchy and perfect for working out. It is tight enough that it won’t start sliding down as you are running or working out. Sizing: runs a little small Cuteness: super cute and fashionable, as the company claims! Recommend? Definitely Shipping: arrived in a timely manner. The company kept me updated on the shipping process which I appreciated. If you’re someone who works out a lot, you will definitely love the VIP Membership. The outfits are cute and affordable. It was totally worth it!

My First Influenster Voxbox – The Ivy Voxbox
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my first voxbox from Influenster with you and tell you a little bit about it. Influenster is a company that will send you free stuff for reviewing purposes. You just sign up at influenster.com. People say that the more reviews you do, the more voxboxes you get. However, I only did 1 review prior to this voxbox. I think it is also based on your impact score. The more social media accounts that you connect, the higher your impact score. It probably also helps that I have this blog where I write reviews constantly! Let’s dive into the box! My first box contained: Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers Minis So yummy, easy to chew, not too many calories Gilette Venus Razor Leaves such a smooth shave! No cuts! I love it! African Black Soap I used to use this so much when I was younger! Works wonders! It helped to clear up my acne and clear dark marks Chapstick Duos I think I’m allergic to this brand of Chapstick so I unfortunately could not try this product out 7th Heaven Foot Soak and Foot Lotion Makes my feet feel so soft and nourished! Do you guys use Influenster alot? What are your thoughts? Instagram | Facebook *Products received were complimentary but all opinions are my own
