My current face creams

Happy February everyone! ♡ I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.  January wasn't the greatest month for us. We ended up catching that awful flu going around (I think I mentioned that before). Being pregnant and sick is the worst. It took me two weeks to start to feel back to normal. I no longer started feeling better and I got the terrible news my grandfather passed away.  So I'm hoping February is a better month for us. 

Anyways, sorry for the life update! Getting back to it,  this post is about face creams. I'm always looking for a good face cream, and  good facial products in general. I believe face products are one thing you should splurge on. Here's a few creams I've been using lately and my opinion on them.

Note: My skin is normal/dry. Sometimes in the summer my t-zone will get oily though.

$39

For normal, oily, combination 

• I really like this moisturizer. I use it before putting on my makeup because it blurs imperfections. It's supposed to be matte for oiliness but it still feels hydrating which I really like since my skin can be a bit dryer, especially in the winter.

$48

For all skin types

• I also really like this moisturizer. I think this one might be my favourite out of the three I've been using. It's supposed to be good for dryness, uneven skin tone and uneven texture. I find it does help with all three. It's not heavy and makes my skin feel smooth and moisturized.

$82

For all skin types

• I'm not sure why exactly I bought this. I had heard really good reviews on this cream and the brand. It says it's good for all skin types but I think you really only benefit from it if you have oily skin. It's supposed to tighten pores and leave your skin smooth, but I feel like it doesn't even penetrate my skin since it's a water cream. It just kind of slips on your face. For the price I was expecting a lot more.

Here's some other creams I've tried and liked or want to try:

         

     

Have you ladies tried any of these creams? Or which ones are your favourites? Let me know!

Ipsy! It's finally here! 🎉

So my Ipsy package has finally arrived! Yay!!

 I've been waiting anxiously for this all week! Or two? 

Anyways, it comes in this pretty packaging:

And once opened you get a postcard and  this cute makeup bag filled with goodies:

Here's what I got this month in my glambag:

And here's what I thought about each product:

•I'm all for bronzers but this one was a bit too dark for my skin tone. Same for the blush. And I usually go for pink or peachy blushes.

• I didn't select fragrances on the survey but I still got some. I'll admit, this one smells really nice though. I love fresh, clean scents.

• Here's another item I didn't select on the survey. I'm not huge into lip liners or lipsticks unless I have a fancy event. I did try this one, and although it's not really a shade I would wear, it lasted all day and I felt was a good product. If you want a good lip liner that is.

• So here's a product I loved! You can never go wrong with a good lip balm. And bonus it's organic. 

• This mascara is actually really good if you're looking for lengthy lashes.

And that's it! I'm on the fence right now about Ipsy. I'll see what the June bag is like and then decide whether I want to cancel or not.
