Indie Pickup November/December 2018: Badass Women & Enchanted Forest Part 1: A-K

Hey everyone! THE HOLIDAYS ARE ALMOST UPON US! Who else is in total disbelief?! I was just thinking next Friday is Black Friday, the holiday shopping season begins! What better way to begin early than picking up a few things for your loved ones on Indiepickup.com? If you are unfamiliar with IPU, it's a sister concept to Polish Pickup. Instead of nail polish, IPU offers other items from talented individuals in the indie community with things like makeup, wax, jewelry, and other fun misc things! I volunteered to be the last blogger of the year for IPU, as the ladies are taking a break in December to enjoy the holidays. Hence the double theme, and double the products. IPU also has some fun announcements for the new year, but you'll have to wait to see about those! Let's get started...it's gonna be a pic heavy post, so I will try to keep it as short and sweet as possible!

If you want to go directly to the listing to add to your wishlist/purchase, click on the name of the brand/product! I will also be cutting the image size down for the blog post to hopefully help with loading time. If you'd like to see all of the pics, feel free to check out MY DROPBOX.

I don't take pics of my lips, however I did try this out and I loved it! Goes on smooth, great color!
 Baroness X - Wunderbust Natural Anti-Aging Cream
This unique and custom to Baroness X formulation is as natural and beneficial as you can get with an indie anti-aging cream. It's been formulated with sensitive skin in mind, as the owner of Baroness X herself has sensitive skin. This cream will help keep your décolletage and face supple and youthful.

 I'm incredibly cautious with what I put on my face because I tend to break out very easily. This is the first indie product I've put on my face and I LOVE IT. The scent is nice, but subtle. My skin was left feeling soft and it didn't break me out! 


 Bee's Knees Lacquer - Mushy Snugglebites' Badonkadonk Scroap
A scroap (our version of a whipped sugar scrub) that smells of Dr. Pepper, sweet sugary candy, and blue cotton candy. You know, all of things an unsupervised 13 year old would eat!

Price: $10

I used this in the shower, and I enjoyed it. A little goes a long way! My skin was left feeling soft and smelling yummy! I also adore Tiny Tina, I miss playing Borderlands!


Bee's Knees Lacquer - Make It Rain! Bath Bomb
Bath bomb they pairs with our scroap- scents of sugary soda, lemon and cherry effervescence, and all the candy.
Inspiration: Tiny Tina from Borderlands  Cap: 100 Price: $9
I was unable to use this in the bath, because I have a bum knee and a bum wrist. So me + getting in and out of bathtubs = not a good idea right now lol. I did however chip some of the bomb off into a bowl. Weird color, but a nice scent!

Care by Llarowe - Nasty Woman Clarifying Shampoo
Clarifying shampoo in coconut mango scents
Inspiration: Hilary Clinton

I lol'ed so hard when I got this, love the inspiration! The shampoo itself didn't have much of a scent, and it didn't suds up the way I like my shampoo to.

The scent throw on this one wasn't good in my bedroom, however CDI asked ahead of time how things were, and she will be adding MORE scent! I'm kinda jealous, the scent of this one is magical!

I totally goofed while opening this. I didn't expect the formula to be so thin, and when I opened it I spilled half of it all over my shirt! I tried to scoop as much as I could so I could take a halfway decent pic, but it was still a mess. Good news though, Cuticula has REFORMULATED, and it is now thicker and better!

I must admit I'm a terrible blogger. I put off doing a mani with these, and then by the time I could sit down and do my nails, I had 2 nail breaks. So I've had to file them all down :( I was very pleased to see Lady Gaga, Courtney Love, Amy Winehouse, and Shirley Manson though..those are the ladies I was going to use for my mani!
