----------------
So for those of you wondering... How do you giveaway 6,000 followers???
Well I'll tell you...
it's primarily something businesses use to increase their online presence, gain credibility, and look more established.  A social media company is hired to help them get their business out there to their audience via targeted ad campaigns, email blasts, and to their own network of followers via incentive based promotions etc... directly to their specific target market.


Say you're current twitter followers are at 25... it will be increased to 6,025! 
The hired social media company will find and peak relevant followers interested in following you - not robots.  
  Disclaimer: These are real live followers provided by a legit social media company not 1 cent robot fakes
*this is no different than advertisers buying ads in magazines trying to get their brand out there.*
**This is not a scam**



Now this is going to be an aggressive contest!  I mean how could I say no to all those beautiful ladies above?  I couldn't.  So now's your chance to rack up all the entries humanly possible!
Remember the more entries the have the more your odds of winning increase!
READY. SET. GO!

*The winner of this sweepstakes will not be published.  I will screenshot the rafflecopter random winner and contact you personally as to how you would like to move forward.

3 Weeks Until Google Reader Says Farewell

Have you switched to Bloglovin from Google Reader yet?
The countdown is on! Starting July 1st Google Reader will be no more!
Now everyone is basically being forced to use Bloglovin or make the switch to another reader.

I wouldn't freak out or start a riot! Bloglovin is very simple and easy to use!

Go ahead and sign into Bloglovin or create an account.

If you are new to Bloglovin here is a major tip you need to know:

To import all of your blogs from Google Reader to Bloglovin in about five seconds or to download the cell phone app to gain instant access to Bloglovin, Click here!

Who has the time to sit and search each one of your blog reads and enter them in manually? Not I said the bloggy girl with no time on her hands!

You can then begin separating each blogger into their own category (fashionistas, chefs, mothers to be etc.) You can then mark each one you have read as “read” and leave the ones you want to come back to as “unread”.

Almost like a readers inbox!

Now I want to make sure all of you sweet, sweet friends continue to read my posts so please go and add me to your readers list!

I as well as yourself do not want to be lost in the shuffle!

I am ever so grateful to have you following along in this little journey of mine!

I have noticed that I have a lot of readers but no comments being left. Are you one of those people? You like to read but don’t like to leave a comment or message? I get in the habit of doing this also.

Don't become a silent reader! Let’s work together on dropping a little note by each other’s blog so we know each other stopped by! I love getting messages from all my readers and I am sure you do as well!

On The Wild Side

I received my Ipsy bag two days ago and I haven’t been more excited to open it! I love checking my mailbox for my beauty subscriptions! I have been so busy to even notice the spoilers that were given in the days leading up to the delivery so I had no clue what was in store. Ipsy has delivered great products every month and while this bag wasn’t among my favorites it still had a little bang for the buck!


Like Birchbox, the beauty subscription costs $10! What a bargain for such awesome beauty samples!
The design of the beauty bag is super stylish with a neon yellow and cheetah print. The most exciting part of the entire Ipsy program is receiving the beauty bags! I am the bag lady!


The first item in the bag I pulled out was the Chella Ivory Lace Highlighting Pencil Value: $18


I’ve never used Chella products before and that is the beauty behind receiving these samples. You are able to try new brands and products at a low cost!
The highlighter pencil brightens eyes and brings them more to life. I have only used one highlighting pen and that was through Mary Kay. I have never really gotten into using the highlighting pencils but I could see a difference before and after. The pencil adds a little shine to the eyes and gives the eyes a more stand out look.
 The second product was the Starlooks Lip Pencil Value: $12


I used a lip pencil in middle and high school and I think that will be the last time that it will happen. I did put the pencil on to see how well it worked but my sample came in a brown color therefore I will NOT be using it. The pencil goes on smoothly and does its job but with the wrong shade I will not continue to use it.
  The third sample was the J Cat Sparkling Cream Palette Value: $4.49


When I saw this pallette for the first time I thought wow that is some glittery eyeshadow! But after checking the information on Ipsy’s website you are apparently supposed to use the glitter for your face? I am not a huge fan of glitter unless it is in an eyeshadow and adds some glimmer to the eye area. In this case I think I will pass on this product.

The fourth product was J Cat Eye Lashes Value: $3.99


Let me start by saying I have VERY sensitive eyes. I have friends who use fake lashes all of the time but I am a little skeptical about them. My eyes hurt enough as it is much less smothering them in glue and hoping all goes as planned. My eyelashes are of standard size, I don’t want to spend the night peeling glue out of them to get an extra inch. It just isn’t worth it to me.
  The last item pulled out was the NYX Cosmetics Powder Blush, Espresso Value: $5.69


When you hear the word blush you think pink, right? This little pallet is more of a bronzed , brownish color. I really thought it was a bronzer. I use a pink blush right now and with my skintone I don’t see me continuing the use of this product. I could see myself crushing up the pallet and using it on my eyes or mixing it in with my foundation.

Total Value: $44.17

Since I signed up with Ipsy I have been impressed by all of the products, the sample size and what they had to offer. I am not taking this one month of slight disappointment to heart. It is not a complete waste of money and with the couple of products I will be using it is worth every penny!

Did you receive the Ipsy bag this month? What did you think of it?
