A while back, my mom and I had a really awesome shopping day together. Mothers day, to be exact. We had great success, but we didn’t quite get everywhere we were hoping to go. My mom is going on a trip soon, and she needed a few staple summer clothes, among other things, so we planned for one more shopping date before her trip.
It came!!! I was getting my makeup on while the sick kiddos napped when I checked my Canada Post tracking and found out that my Ipsy bag arrived today!! In case I haven’t explained it in the past, Ipsy is a makeup subscription that I get each month. It comes with a small zippered makeup bag, and four or five sample products, with the promise of one being a full sized product. Brady picked it up from the post office on his way home, and I promptly tucked its bright pinkness into my purse and brought it with me to my moms.
The contents were really good 🙂
From top to bottom, left to right, I got a vitamin C oil to rub on my face, a gel type nail polish in a bright red color called “alarm,” an eye shadow stick that claims to green but is really more of a gold/charcoal color, a Too Faced melted lipstick in “Melted Candy,” and some face masks. The bag is neoprene with a neon pink zipper. Boom. I’m pretty excited to play with most of this 🙂 My mom and I had such a nice time out and about. We only had a few places in mind where we wanted to go, and fun surprise, most of them were closed. *rolls eyes* Not our finest moment. However, it worked out so well! The few places we hit were incredibly successful! My mom got some wonderful pieces to fill out exactly what she needed, and I even got my hands on – you guess it! – makeup!
I wasn’t being unreasonable, I promise. I have been waiting for this particular mascara to come back in stock for a while, and it finally did! As I perused the rest of the display, I decided to snag a micro brow pencil since mine is a weird color. And yay for Nyx! Because I spent $20 today, for whatever reason, I got a free lipstick! I got this weird purple lilacy dusty color that looks a bit lame in the picture but pretty awesome on 🙂 Tame but not at the same time.
We grabbed some Starbucks, a few groceries, and headed back to my moms. She tried on a few things she hadn’t had a chance to try yet, and I showed her a few music videos on YouTube before we went our separate ways. What a fabulous evening! I’m feeling so refreshed and happy after an outing and some date time with my mom. All is well in this house.
