FAIL: Translucent is No Bueno

Summer, Summer!  Fun, fun, fun!

Yesterday I went out for a pedi... and ended up stopping in at every dang store I wanted along the way.  One of them was Claire's and in their clearance section I spotted these:

Claire's jelly lip balm

Immediately I thought of those elusive Maybelline Shine Sensational Pop Sticks (which I never spotted in stores) and got two, the only colors they had. They were cheap enough and I figured 'how bad could a lip balm be...  Woah!  Are these ever bad!  

Ipsy Glam Bag : June

Happy Summer!!!

As much as I love make-up and beauty stuff (confession: I buy far more than I actually use) I have stayed well away from the monthly subscription services. I get the appeal of "waiting for a surprise" in the mail and all... yet I still wasn't into it.  Not even when I encountered a nails-dedicated subscription.  Now why am I suddenly an "Ipsy girl"?   

Let's all say a "howdy!" to rxstrmom! 

I find Patti utterly sweet and charming and I ♥ watching her You Tube videos.  One such video gave me (us?) the benefit of her (not-so-great) experience with a beauty service, and her subsequent happy ending with Ipsy.  Quite frankly, her video sold me on giving this service a try.  Period.  Now I have my first Ipsy bag and I'm very, very pleased.
