New leggings on the 1st!

Im starting to learn more about Fabletics as each month goes on....  I have just put 2 and 2 together and discovered that a few BRAND NEW styles come out on the 1st of each month!  With new styles comes a fully stocked size selection.  I was able to grab these darling leggings in MY SIZE this morning!  Im so excited for their arrival!  

And now I really think I need some new sneakers to go with them.....  hmmmmmm......

Allow me to INVITE YOU to Fabletics.  Their referral system is also awesome.  But even without it I will solely buy their workout gear from now on.  Basically priced the same as TJMaxx stuff but touting quality like Lulu(which I cannot afford by the way).  They are awesome.  High quality workout wear comfy enough even for sleep.  Oh, and they look fantastic on!  I have reviews of them here, if you wanna learn and see more :D

No go put your workout gear on and get some exercise!  .....or just clean the house.

(and may i add a note here...  i just had an issue trying to enter a gift card i received so i called in to customer service...  yes, at 7:30am on Sunday!  i was only on hold for a few minutes and was quickly helped by a very sweet girl who was both competent and friendly.  she actually logged onto my account and did everything for me.  A+ Fabletics, A+!)

Fabletics again! and why I keep coming back....

I was tempted by the bargain-basement deals promised by Fabletics a while back...  so I gave them a shot.  Lots of washes and wears later I have now found my new favorite comfort/workout wear company...

Fabletics Review- my totally honest opinion, from a tall mama

I had to do it.  That bribe of a beautiful, flattering and high quality 2 or 3 piece yoga/running outfit at a bargain-basement cheap price.

You know they had me 'discount'.

ipsy November 2014 Review. $51 worth of product! Girl Meets Glitter! ipsy review

in photo i am wearing be a bombshell submissive eye base, TEMPTU highlighter in pink pearl, Jcat wonder lip paint in Red Potion, StarLooks eyeliner in Ultra Orchid as well as hairspray in MOROCCO by Marc Anthony. 

OH, the ipsy mail delivery.  possibly the best day of the month!  a present for me?  but its not even my birthday!!  what oh what could be in this beautiful sparkly new make-up bag?  did i get my $10 worth?  quite certainly i already know the answer before i unzip the magenta ipsy zipper to reveal my prize.

and here it is!  in all its glory.  There is no value placed on the make-up bag so I have to use my best guesstimate here, do you think that is fair?  i sure do...  its nicely lined, fairly sturdy and something I would be proud to hold in public, or to stuff in my purse ;)  Make-up bag value IMO $6

STARLOOKS eyeliner in Ultra Orchid.  This is a gem pencil- very soft and easy to apply, a beautiful plum-orchid color with a hint of sparkle.  I am in love with this color, seriously IN LOVE.  I never would have chosen purple eyeliner for myself and life would have been boring without this.  Thank you ipsy!  Full size liner valued at $17



TEMPTU highlighter, a sample sized at 3ml, but this will last a while!  I already know I love TEMPTU brand and find this product easy and effortless to apply.  It quickly brightens up my face and makes me look fresh, awake and dare I say younger!  Generous sample valued at $5.



be a bombshell Eye Base in submissive.  This cream eyeshadow is spot-on perfect for me.  So easy to apply with a swipe of my finger, adds dimension and depth, I love it!  Full sized item valued at $14.



J.cat Wonder Lip Paint.  This is truly a serious lip stain (see top image photo on myself).  Awesome color for me, especially for the holidays, i've heard great things about J.cat and Im thrilled to have tried it myself!  I will be sporting this all season long!  Full sized item valued at just $5.



Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Hairspray with Argan Oil.  This is a winner!  With 3 girls in the house we love hairspray.  Very light fragrance, the benefits of healthy oils, what more could we ask for?  Generous sample size valued at about $4.

Grand total value of this great set is $51.  I will use every single item here!  I only paid $10 and the shipping was free, it is filled with things I would not have chosen, nor can I find in my small town.  I am beyond happy!

Think you want to try ipsy?  They have a loyalty plan, points for reviewing products on their site (so easy) and points for referring friends!  With these bargains you can earn free products!  Double wow!  Check it out through my link HERE and you will be happy you did <3
