Hi! So today I have my first unboxing of the new year. Ipsy is a monthly beauty box subscription that costs $10 per month. Each month you receive 4-5 full size or deluxe sized products and a makeup bag. This is my favorite beauty box subscription service because you get some brands you recognize and some you don't know.
The makeup bag is cute this month, with a pink zipper and is white on one side and royal blue on the other side.
Mojito Lip Balm- This is a clear lipgloss/ chapstick. It is a little sticky (not to bad though), but I still love this item. You can layer a chapstick, lipstick, and then add this for a little shine without messing up the color.
Price- $12
PacificaNatural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow- This is a pretty big single eyeshadow. You cannot buy single eyeshadows, but you can buy them in a palette. The shade is a pearly, sparkly, pigmented light brown/ skin color. This could be an everyday color or built up for a night out color.
Price- Could not find (eyeshadows not sold personally)
Hikari CosmeticsMechanical Eye Liner- So here is another eyeliner (I am not a huge eyeliner fan) and I feel like every other month I receive a eyeliner from Ipsy. It is a twist up eyeliner and is a [faint] sparkly silver shade. I personally do not know how often I will wear this eyeliner.
Price- $13
La Fresh Eco-BeautyBe Good. Good Day. Day Moisturizer- This is a daily face moisturizer. It is supposed to hydrate your skin and make it look fresher and happier. For the size of the packet, there is not a lot of product. I personally do not like receiving skincare items in Ipsy, because I already have a set routine.
Price- $40
Velvet 59 Velvet Rose Lipgloss- This is a lipgloss with a brush applicator. It is quite sticky, which is why I tend to not wear lipglosses. This is a mauvey shade with a slight pinky undertone and is pretty sheer, so it is good for everyday.
Price- $19
Here is a swatch of the lipgloss, eyeliner, and eyeshadow.
Overall price of bag- $84 (minus the eyeshadow) and I only paid $10!
Thanks for reading! Did you get an Ipsy bag?

Hi! So I don't really do New Years Resolutions. Instead I make some goals for the New Year that I try to follow.
1) Stop procrastinating with studying for school and actually study for tests. I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes to studying and most of the time don't even study. This semester I am going to start studying for tests.
2) Start going to church more, at least once a month. I went to a youth group once a week for 2 years and then stopped. I would like to restart going and make it part of my routine now.
3) Go to bed before 10pm on school nights and stop staying up super late. I'll be honest, I am a night owl. I have a bad habit of staying up late and then being really tired. I would like to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier (maybe even become a morning person).
4) Redo my room and totally clean it out, including my closet. I recently painted a wall in my room and would like to redo it. I need to take everything out and donate some stuff and reorganize my room (weirdly organizing helps calm me down).
5) Learn ASL (American Sign Language). I already know some, but I would like to be able to speak fluently with sign language. I got inspired to relearn it from Switched at Birth, where one of the girls is deaf.
6) Learn/ start doing more yoga and exercising at least 5 days a week. I have a yoga mat and am fit, but I would like to get some muscle and yoga just looks fun. When I exercise I fell soo good and refreshed after and I think I need that now.
WHAT ARE YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS/ GOALS?
