Hi!

I am so sorry for being gone for so long. I had a lot of personal things going on in my life from November through April. Then I just needed to relax a little bit from all the craziness that happened. I did not expect to be gone and definitely not for this long. Wow. It has been about 7 months.

I would like to send out my sincerest apologies for the Ipsy and Lip Monthly videos. I was planning to make actual videos of me talking about Ipsy and Lip Monthly, but I ran out of time and I didn't want to keep everyone waiting. I made quick videos showing the products I got with pictures. 

Please don't quote me on this, but I think I got a January 2015 Ipsy bag that I still need to blog about. I will have to go back over my blogs and see where I left off. I was really disappointed with the Ipsy January 2015 bag and the products that I received because even though I kept saying on the Ipsy Quiz that I did not want face or hair products, I kept receiving at least one lotion or face product or hair product, etc. I also noticed that I would never get high end products in my bag like for example Smashbox. I remember I really wanted to try a Smashbox product, but it didn't come in my bag =-( I also have specific type of products that sometimes are included, but often times not like long-lasting, waterproof, semi permanent, etc. That's not just an Ipsy problem, but a makeup subscription con. Plus we were not sure about our finances for 2015. I ended up cancelling my Ipsy subscription.

The last few months I have been trying to find Lip Factory Inc because that was by far my favorite beauty subscription "box" because I loved a lot of the products I received, they had a lot of products that were lip products and a few that were non lip, but were full size. It was really nice. I can't find them. I think I found their website, but every time I try to log in or look at their site it sends me to a page for godaddy.com saying that the domain name expired 07/20/2015. I am really sad about it. If anyone has any info on Lip Factory Inc, please let me know if they are still around or not. Thanks!

Then sometime in June my laptop computer broke. I was doing laundry and had it on the floor which is always a smart idea. Well, I stepped on it and broke the screen. I have the computer hooked up to a screen so I can still use it, but it is such a pain in the butt.

I know that I promised that I would review the makeup products I received from
a few months of Lip Monthly, Ipsy, and Lip Factory so I still plan to do that for you.

Hopefully I will be able to deliver on the promise of the January 2015 Ipsy bag and the products I received from the beauty subscription services. I am not going to promise when I will be able to do the blogs on hem, but I can promise that I will get those blogs up at some point in time.

Thank you everyone so much for all of your patience! I hope you all had a wonderful Summer =-D

Sincerely,
Marina
