According to their website… “ipsy” comes from the Latin word ipse, meaning “sense of self.” Celebrating beauty of all forms in the world, ipsy provides a platform for anyone to express both their inner and outer radiance.
For only $10 a month (or $110 for a full year subscription), subscribers will receive a beautiful “Glam Bag” with deluxe and often full-sized beauty products.

I have been subscribed to ipsy for a few months now and have really enjoyed trying out new and exciting products from brands that I might never have heard of or tried otherwise. If you enjoy makeup, you will love ipsy. It is also a great way to be able to try out new and different brands without spending a ton of money.
You don’t choose what you get in your “Glam Bag” each month. You basically take a quiz/survey of the things that you like. Then based on your likes, they send you samples and some full size products to try. Most of the things are higher end type products. It is a fun way to get to try out new things before buying them.

While I did receive the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation complimentary for testing purposes, I will always give my complete and honest opinion. Here is my first update on my week one of the #betterskinchallenge.
According to the Maybelline website Superstay Better Skin™ Foundation is a “Longwear foundation that improves skin’s appearance every minute you’re in it. With the antioxidant power of Actyl C, a more durable form of vitamin C. For all skin types. Medium to full coverage. Superstay Better Skin Foundation gives an all-day flawless coverage and better-looking skin in 3 weeks. The foundation reduces the appearance of spots, dullness and uneveness and gives you a brighter, more even and stress-free skin.”
That is a lot of claims for a foundation! So I am very interested to see what results I get. Who wouldn’t want brighter, more even and stress-free skin!
My skin type is fair to medium, normal to combo skin. Since it is the summer I am a bit darker (if you want to call it that ;-)) than I naturally would be in the winter and spring. As I mentioned, I received this foundation for consideration so I didn’t choose the shade myself. I was sent the shade Porcelain 10, which would probably be my winter shade. I have to admit, because of the wrong shade, at first it was a bit of a struggle for me to figure out exactly how to make this foundation work. After a few days of using the wrong shade, I went to CVS and asked if I could exchange it for a different shade. (side note: CVS is so great about returning any beauty products that you are not 100% happy with even if it has been opened and used a bit.) I exchanged it for the shade classic ivory 20. Now that I have the correct shade, I have really been liking it.
I have been wearing it every day for about a week and a half. While I don’t actually have any major skin issues to begin with, I do have some spots and uneveness that I would love to see reduced. In the last 10 days that I have been wearing the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation, I can’t say that I have seen any major changes to my skin, but I will continue to test it out for the full three weeks and see if there are any overall improvements.
Hello! My name is Laura Joli. If you are like me, you are always busy and love it! It seems as if time keeps moving faster and faster and never slows down at all.
As a mother of two young children, I spend a lot of time doing things for other people. It often feels as if I don’t have a lot of time to myself. Despite the business and demands of the day, there is one thing that I try to always make a little time for and that is looking joli good.
Isn’t it amazing how sometimes something as simple as putting on lipstick or nail polish or especially a good hair day can make you feel like a brand new person?!
Looking and feeling good doesn’t have to be some thing that takes up a lot of time either. Often it is the simple little things that can help one to feel better. I always find that smiling is one the easiest things to do to look and feel joli good! To quote Thich Nhat Hanh “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
Hopefully you enjoy what you find here on lookingjoligood! Stick around for some simple ways to brighten your day and tips and tricks to help you to look and feel joli good! 😉
