Drinks in the summertime

We like to dance like that
Look cool from the back
Swallow up straight Jack

Drinks in the summertime
Shade where it’s hollow
Find time to serenade the bees

Always seem to be in-between
The timing is always nice
It’s crisp, it’s softly precise

Don’t think twice
Your face is fine
Don’t think twice
Your skin peels slow
Like layers on a vine

Grapefruit

Left the car engine running
Had to take hourly pills
Left the backseat down
For little teenage thrills

Arcades and champagne
Arguing till dawn
Half past two o clock
Apathy makes me yawn

A skilled spirit
A whiskey double shot
A grapefruit smoothie
Some like it hot

It’s worth it
It’s not worth it
It’s worth it
It’s not worth it

Je croyais que tu aimais les mauvais garçons.

Money, fast cars
I’ll show you how to live
I’ll show you how to live like the bad boys did

Cheapskates and dice
Can you teach me how to play
Can you promise me that you’ll look my way

In your attraction I find
That obscure, digital one-of-a-kind
Brilliant, dedicated, dyed-in-the-wool & unrefined

You’d be a fool to not be attached
The water’s clear, sun’s down
Come around town

IPSY February 2020 Glam Bag Review!

Hello all! I am SO excited to be reviewing another glam bag from IPSY. I love this company, and I love their samples. When I first took the survey that asked me my skin color, eye color, and preferences I was unsure whether they’d deliver to suit those needs or if it was just a throwaway survey. I think they do pay attention and customers get orders that fulfill their requests and needs. The February 2020 Glam Bag in particular made me really excited to try all the products. On to the photoshoot!

The packaging! So secure and so cute!
The packaging along with the glam bag itself! Gorgeous!
Glam bag in all its glory. It’s furry and basically perfect. I just love touching it.
All of the items included in the glam bag, with the description insert.
Products, change places! Here pictured is the DOUCCE COSMETICS Boombastic Lash Volumizer Mascara, the TARTE Sex Kitten Liquid Liner in Black, and the KVOSSNYC FAIRY DUST Pressed Highlighter in Moonlight. Glam bag included of course!
DOUCCE COSMETICS Boombastic Lash Volumizer Mascara (sample value shown; full value 13.5mL is $24); KVOSSNYC FAIRY DUST Pressed Highlighter in Moonlight (Full size shown, $28); TARTE Sex Kitten Liquid Liner in Black (sample value shown; full value 1.4mL is $20)
Pictured here are the DR.FROG Water Fullcharge All in One (Sample value shown; full size 130mL is $18) which is a face moisturizer, and IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better Primer + Oil-Free (Sample value shown; full size 30mL is $39).
Pictured here is the KVOSSNYC FAIRY DUST Pressed Highlighter in Moonlight. It’s said to “blend into your skin like butter” and reflect light. Like any highlighter should, but I’m not sure about the blending! I’ll have to see and update. Look ahead for photographs of the inside.
Lil’ trial on my fingertips. So shiny 🙂
Some more fingertip shimmer. I couldn’t help it, what? This is composed of pearly pink pigments that are meant to be placed on the high points of the face and the cheekbones.
A little kiss for everyone that reads my blog; hopefully you enjoy it ! Please get feedback to me, you can message me on instagram at instagram.com/lilacdovee 🙂
This is the TARTE Sex Kitten Liquid Liner in Black. Look ahead to see how sharp and fineeeeee the head is!
TARTE Sex Kitten Liquid Liner in Black. Unbelievable fine point. Exactly what I needed, too.
If there’s one thing you could put in your glam bag, what would it be? I’m thinking Tarte’s eyeliner. It’s a toss-up between eyeliner and mascara, though. And this next one is incredible.
This is the wand on the DOUCCE COSMETICS Boombastic Lash Volumizer Mascara. This volumizes your lashes like crazzzzzzyyyy. I mean, look at the wand! When I first opened the tube I knew this mascara would be a keeper. I keep it in my makeup bag.
A nice picture of my cabinets. KVOSSNYC FAIRY DUST Pressed Highlighter in Moonlight.
This is the information insert that came inside the glam bag with the products. It lists the prices of the actual sizes, something I haven’t seen IPSY do before, so I’m glad about that.

The February 2020 IPSY Glam Bag was a wonderful one. I baaaadly needed a new liquid liner, and I was very pleased to receive the Tarte one. Did you see that fine point? I can’t wait to use it and review it.

I have used three products: the IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better Primer + Oil-Free (that is so grammatically incorrect that it bothers me), the DOUCCE COSMETICS Boombastic Lash Volumizer Mascara, and the DR.FROG Water Fullcharge All in One (moisturizer) and enjoyed all three products. The mascara is amazing, hands down. I would say 5/5 stars and I’m not even kidding, nor am I generous with my star ratings, haha. The primer I need more time with, as I’m switching up what moisturizers I’m using. Speaking of moisturizer, I’ve tried the DR.FROG and so far it’s super hydrating. It leaves a layer on my face but a makeup primer would probably cancel that out.

Thanks for tuning in!

xo,

Elle

Mauvaise posture

Lacking the lust of transit
Midtempo-inspired decor
The guests sip, sip champagne
They always ask for more

Hysteria has come about
All upon the floor
He think he’s so bad
Calls himself hardcore

But I know what
Is really beneath
Whatever you give
Returns through sharp teeth

And he liked me polished
And he loved his bad posture
But with prevarication like that
I wouldn’t even bother
