Ipsy Review

Hey blonde here,

I'm sure y'all are fans of beauty... I sure am. I also find it hard to pay 50+ dollars for a tiny bottle of product. Imagine getting four or five products to sample for just ten dollars a month! I have found the solution. Michelle Phan (beauty blogger and youtuber) has crated an amazing organization, Ipsy. Michelle has been a youtuber since 2007 and has gained 2.2 million subscribers earning herself the title of "beauty guru". She has been in many magazines including Forbes and seventeen, she has also become a spokes person for Lancôme Paris.

Ipsy - beauty by you - is her program where you pay $10 monthly* to receive four or five sample sized and full sized designer products**, like hair, nail and face makeup and cleansers, in your "glam bag". Each month your glam bag is unique and different, and the contents is personalized to you by taking a quick quiz before you subscribe. You can save up to 70% on your favorite brands and brands you are to cheep to pay for. Some brands that are featured are The Balm, Urban Decay, Kiehl's, NYX, Josie Maran, Buxom, and Philosophy. So for someone's birthday, Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other holiday think of using the gift feature and pay for their subscription, or just pamper yourself monthly with the shift of beauty.


PRICES/SUBSCRIPTION LENGTHS

$10- one month
$30- three months
$60- six months
$110- one year
And some where around $220 for two years

JAZZ

What have I been obsessed with lately? Well quite a few things as usual, but mainly jazz. In music class we have been doing a jazz unit, but that's not what got me into that mood... The oscars are the real cause. What is more American than the good ole academy awards? Jazz is pretty American... So I've broken out the old iPod and have been getting my fill. What is playing right now, cheek to cheek sung by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. I'm in love literally. I wish music were still as good as this, and people still went out dancing, not clubbing, and actually danced cheek to cheek.
I miss big band and suave gents like Sinatra and Astaire. The infectious beat of the walking bass and the trumpet and clarinet joining in. I sometimes feel like I was born in the wrong era, but then again what would I do without the Internet? So in the next few weeks listen to so e jazz and get some of that all American feeling!

Yours truly,
Blonde <3

Alien baby- day whatever

So the alien has been hatching for a few days now, almost a week, and it has almost completely escaped its shell... I walked into my kitchen this morning and got thoroughly freaked out because it was just THERE. So here are some pictures of this creepy baby.

Alien baby- day one

So brunette and I have decided to hatch a baby alien, don't believe us?


Well believe us. And of course me being the clumsy blonde I am... I dropped the egg and it broke.

My eggs

So I got bored, the blonde, on our totally uncalled for snow day, so I decorated eggs. Oh and I have a new high score in temple run 2, it's still lame compared to my old temple run game...

Sotd- avant qu'elle parte

So this is rap week. And I'm the blonde. And this is a later post.

So the song may be very unfamiliar to people, it's in French, and it's a newer song. The band who raps this song is called Sexion D'assault. Sexion D'assault was formed in 2002 and has eight band members, maitre Gims, Lefa, Doumams ( l'insomnaique), black mesrimes (black m), Adams Diallo (Barack Adama), maska, JR O Crom, and L.I.O or pétrodollars. The song, in case you all don't speak fluent French, is about the love of their mothers. They are trying to say "you should always be good to your mother, because one day she will be gone, and you can never take back what you did to her". The song has probably one of the catchiest choruses and intro, I can't get it out of my head. Their other songs from their latest album are also très excellent! L'apogée was their album and was number 1 on the charts for a while in France and Belgium. So go click the link to watch the awesome video.

sotd: Sek-These Dayz

Hello, it's the brunette, so I know that today is technically 'rap' week. But I noticed that we hadn't posted anything on last week's genre, dance music. This is probably due to the fact that this genre isn't something I generally have and listen to. However, I did have a post planed and I was looking forward to sharing it with you guys, so here it is anyways.

Although I wouldn't technically call this dance music, that was what it was categorized under for iTunes, and so I think that's just what I'll put it under here. Technically, I would say that Greek DJ/producer Sek's new EP These Dayz is more soulful electronic music. The four-song collection includes came out almost a week ago on Jan 21 2013 by Lost My Dog records.
The EP includes four songs: These Dayz, West Coast Ride, Tears & Sweat, and The Light, all with moody rhythms and romantic vibes. Also, with a Twiggy-inspired album cover, who can resist?
Also, if you likes this it's rumored that Sek might be coming out with another EP soon.
