Life with Jessi 101

Full Hearts was the theme this month for the regular Ipsy subscription bag. This month's mantra is to swoon over the real and totally unfiltered you. Whether it’s snapping a glam selfie or cozying up with your favorite movie. Here is what was included in the bag and my thoughts on the products!  First off, the bag itself is absolutely adorable! The cut out heart pattern is perfect for the month all about love. Whether that be yourself, a partner, loved ones, or furry friends.   Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling Mascara  Some of the product highlights are water resistant, instant curve setting formula, long wear for 12 hours, separates, curls, and lifts each and every lash. There are rave reviews out on this mascara. 97% of users said it visibly lifts lashes. 87% said it gives long lasting curl all day. And 94% say their eyes look more wide open. Remember to gently wiggle the wand from the base of your lashes to the tip. Apply other coats till your lashes are as l...

The Your Eyes Only Limited Edition Mystery Bag is here! This bag was too cute not to get. The pink color and embroidery detailed heart pattern is perfect for Valentine’s Day. I’m going to be honest the only reason I purchased this mystery bag was for the bag itself. The products inside though have my attention.  First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Oil Control Moisturizer  This is my all time favorite skin care moisturizer. I believe I got it in one of my first ever Ipsy bags and fell in love. The reason you will love this product is the hyaluronic acid helps skin appear smoother while the niacinamide helps control sebum production, minimize pores, and reduce shine over time. I love that it doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily after application. My face feels refreshed after each use too. Ten out of ten for this amazing skin care product.  SUGAR Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick   The product description states that this lipstick is maximum coverage, highly pigmented, smooth a...

Who doesn’t love a bit of shop hunting? Shop hunting is where you go shopping but have a specific list of fun items you are trying to find. On this shop hunting experience I went to Target to see how many winter trends I could find in their clothing department. Let’s see how well I did.  Bold Colors  I love a bold red. This top has a cinched waist detail, slightly puffed sleeves, square neckline, and a gold lined pattern. It would be a great look to transfer from day to night.    Shackets I fell in love with this shacket. It’s so soft, the rose pink color, and it has pockets! Run, don't walk to Target to grab your own.  Retro Ski Wear To be honest I’m not a fan of puffer coats but this groovy pattern on this one might just change my mind. This coat is the definition of retro ski wear.  Sweater Dresses This is one of those outfits that look good on the rack but awful on a person. At least for me, this was definitely a no go for me. My perfect sweater dr...

Looking at the winter trends for this year I thought about what I had in my closet and thought there is no way I have these in my closet. Let’s see together how many I actually have in my closet today.  Bold Colors   Bright coral shirt, can’t get any brighter than this. I am not one for bright colors so I toned it down with a simple jean jacket.  Knit Sweater Dresses and Knee High Boots Pulling all these together in one look. Knit is a common staple everyone should have in their closet for winter. I have multiple knit sweaters but I have one sweater dress. I have paired it with some black tights and black knee-high boots that have taken control back from the thigh-high boots of last season.  Lilac, Shackets, and Shearling Also pulling all these together in one look. This lilac tank top pairs well with this light pink shearing shacket. It’s a cozy, cute look perfect for winter.  Not too many winter trends are sitting in my closet. Missing the leather pants, retro...

Happy Vibes was the theme this month for the regular Ipsy subscription bag. This month's mantra is to make time for the things that make you smile and the vibes include soft pastel shadows, your fave podcast, and DIY manis. Here is what was included in the bag and my thoughts on the products!  First, off the bag itself is absolutely beautiful! The pastel design is one of the prettiest bags I have received. I also love how the information card inside included a skincare cheat sheet. It listed what products, why it’s used, and when it works. Definitely keeping this in my skincare supplies.  Benefit Cosmetics - The POREfessional Lite Primer  This face primer’s reasons to love it is an oil-free formula that feels light on the skin and won't clog pores. The site's description states this primer is water-based creates a perfect canvas for long-wearing makeup and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. I can agree the product left my skin feeling soft, smooth, and light....

A new year means new trends in all aspects of our lives. My favorites are fashion and beauty! I have made a list of all the trends you guys need to be on the watch for the rest of winter 2022. Let’s take a look! Fashion: Bold Colors  No neutral or boring colors this winter! Bring out the bold colors hot pink, violet, lime green, or red. Whether it’s a monochromatic look or just of pop of accent color, your winter won’t be boring with bold colors.  Shackets A shacket is a shirt/jacket combo. The classic wool plaid you can’t go wrong with but leather and shearling shackets are becoming a hit in 2022.  Leather Pants Faux leather leggings have been a staple in past winter fashion but this year faux leather pants are taking over! They are a hit in a straight cut, original black or bold colors like red or olive green. Styling these pants with posh classics, like a slim-fit crewneck sweater or a button-up shirt for a look you can’t go wrong with!  Knee High Boots This basic...
