Being all fancy and new...

It's Sunday Funday, once again...and I haven't posted in sooooo long.  I do apologize, my faithful readers. But, I have been a busy Fancy Ginger, lately.  

Here is what I have been up to lately:

1.  I started to take a dance class!  Eeek...makes me so happy, as dance was really the first thing I was passionate about when I was a little.  It has been awhile (at least 8 years) since I have taken a class, and oh boy, was I sore!?!?!  I didn't start walking normally again until Friday...and the dance class was Wednesday.  But, it was so much fun, and I cannot wait to go back.

2.  I sang on stage, for the first time in 12 years. Even though I was so nervous I thought I was going to hurl, it was probably the most fun I have had in a long time.  I am so glad I said "yes."  

3.  Preparing for my 30th Birthday trip.  My birthday, as you all know, is coming up in a couple of weeks...and I am so excited.  One would think I am turning 5, with how excited I am.  It's a wee-bit ridiculous.  I am also excited for the trip I am taking with my wonderful friends at the end of July. Ahh....seriously--I just screamed in my apartment...because I am just that excited. Gee...how many times can I say excited in one paragraph?  Apparently, 5 times. 

4.  Being fancy...but that's a given. 

And now for something completely different (points for anyone who gets that reference).....my Ipsy and Walgreens finds:

March Ipsy Bag

Just a little review for y'all:  Ipsy is a beauty subscription service similar to Birchbox.  It costs $10/month, and delivers you 5 beauty products each month in a beautiful makeup bag (such as the one pictured).  I love this service.  It is so much fun to get this in the mail.  If you are interested in signing up for this service, click here .  

I loved what I received this month, the LeeAnni Eco 3 in 1 is amazing.  It is so light and refreshing.  It makes my skin glow.  Before receiving this month's bag, I had never heard of this brand....but I am going to be checking them out. 

NYX is a popular drugstore brand....and I love them.  The Butter Lipstick shade I received this month is perfect for spring.  It's a pinky/rose color.  It layers beautifully with other lipsticks. 

PIXI by Petra is a brand I always associate with Target--since that was the only place I had ever seen it located.  This eyeshadow duo is so pretty, and provided me with just the right amount of shimmer that made my eyes "pop." 

Crown Brush=amazing.  I love that Ipsy sends makeup brushes.  Although I am obsessed with makeup...I always seem to forget to buy the brushes to apply it.  Go figure, huh?

Walgreens Haul

(Left to Right:  Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss #30, Simple Sensitive Skin Experts Cleansing Facial Wipes, Rimmel London BB Cream Radiance in Light)

Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss #30-  I spent $5 on this lipstick...and it is my favorite lipstick in the whole wide world....seriously.  The color is a plum/burgundy color....and the color payoff is ridiculous.  Also, this stuff doesn't dry your lips.  It's my new makeup bestie.  

Simple Sensitive Skin Experts Cleansing Facial Wipes- I feel like I need a lifetime supply of these babies.  I have found the holy grail of makeup removers.  

Rimmel London BB Cream Radiance in Light-  You guys I spent $3 on this product.....$3!!!!!!!! How cray is that? I love this BB cream.  It feels so light on my skin, yet it provides great coverage.  I don't even need to put foundation on when I wear this.   And yes, my skin looks radiant when I wear it....in case you were wondering.  

*********************************************************************************
There you have it...my new post.  I feel like I had a lot of random stuff to talk about in this post.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I will try to post again this week. :)  

Cheers and stay fancy!
