Update 11/17/2014

Hello everyone!


I wanted to make a blog post before disappearing because I usually did an update blog after disappearing for months on end. I didn't mean to, it just sort of happened. But this time I am deciding to take some time off for the rest of November and December to enjoy the holiday seasons.

Happy [early] Thanksgiving, Merry [early] Christmas, and Happy [early] New Year! See you in 2015! Have wonderful Holidays and be well! I am saying all three because I am going to be gone until after the New Year and I didn't want to forget.

November has been a bit of a busy month with our 3 year wedding anniversary which was November 7, then my husband's birthday was this past weekend, and now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. I just need some time off to enjoy and relax. Thank you for your understanding. 

I would also like to update everyone on what is kind of going to happen in the next few months. I am finally nearing the end of all of the makeup I have. I think I have maybe about 10 products from my personal makeup collection so I am caught up pretty much on makeup that I have and used. I have about 10 Lip Monthly products currently waiting to be used and reviewed. I have Lip Monthly through December so I get my November bag some time this week and I think I am getting a December bag since I'm paid up for 4 months on that which should be through December 2014. I have a September Lip Factory box of 6 products to use and review. And I have 5 Ipsy products to use and review. I just got my Ipsy November bag late last week, but I am waiting to do a review on Ipsy November 2014 bag after I get my Lip Monthly November 2014 bag so that I can do the videos at the same time. Those should be coming up some time later this week or early next week.

Lip Factory I only ordered the September 2014 box. I really liked it. They had a good variety of products, in the colors I liked, and products I am super excited about. I can't wait to do the reviews on those. I only bought one month of Lip Factory in September 2014 because it was my birthday month and I was just getting into beauty subscription services. I wanted to try it out for my birthday. I am not currently subscribed, but I hope to be in the future.

Ipsy I am going to be receiving until January 2015 and then I am going to decide whether I want to cancel my subscription service or not. I know I'm just starting out so I'm not a priority for the high end makeup products, but also because they are sending me products that I did not mark I wanted in my beauty quiz. They are trying to say that based off my beauty quiz they thought I would like the products I got and a lot of them I am excited to try, but last month they sent me hand cream and this month they sent me hair spray. Although, I do get to try IT Cosmetics which I never have, but have wanted to for a while. Ipsy I will have at least through January 2015 and then decide whether to keep it or cancel it.

Lip Monthly had a special going where if you signed up for their 4 month subscription service you got your first box for $2.99 so my September 2014 birthday month box was only $2.99. I signed up in September 2014 so my 4 months should be up in December 2014. I am still currently waiting for my November 2014 bag to arrive which is scheduled to arrive sometime this week. I already cancelled my Lip Monthly subscription so after December 2014 it is not scheduled to renew.

I know this is a lot of information and I hope it makes sense!

Bullet Point List of What's Going On:

-I am postponing all of my makeup blog posts until January 2015
-I am still going to be doing blog and video reviews for Ipsy November 2014 and Lip Monthly November 2014 along with Ipsy December 2014 and Lip Monthly December 2014 (look for those)
-My Lip Monthly subscription runs out in December 2014
-Ipsy in January 2015 I am going to decide on whether I want to keep or cancel
-I will do reviews on the actual products I got from the beauty subscription services when I start writing in my blog again some time in or after January 2015.
