Review: TodayTix App

HELLO!

Today I thought I'd bring something different, a review of an app. I will be sharing my personal experience and opinion about it. :)



About a month ago, I posted a video talking about what was on my iPhone, and one of the apps was TodayTix, at that point I hadn't tried it out yet. So last week I decided to try it out, and bought tickets to see 39 Steps, an off-broadway play. I looked up on the play's website, and the tickets on the app were much cheaper, so I decided to go ahead and buy mezzanine seats, which were only $20, to my surprise, when I got to the theatre, I ended up getting orchestra seats! The show went great and I carried on my solo adventure in NYC.

Let me explain the app better to you. What you first to is you purchase your tickets through the app, and it works in a way that it will find the best seats for you, but you are still having a discount over the price you are paying. Only a couple of shows are available for tickets there, and depending on the day, there are shows that have more or less discount, and the app also has lottery for Fun Home, On The Town, and other shows. Tickets for a show become available 6 days before the day of the performance. I recommend buying the tickets right when they come out, since the day I wanted to go see a performance was on wednesday, I bought my tickets on thursday, that way I would be able to get the best seats, otherwise you can easily get all the way back in the corner of the mezzanine and that is no fun. The app is very simple once you buy your tickets, you get an email confirming and it also sends you an email on the day of the performance to remind you. On the day of the performance, you pick up your tickets at the theatre's box office, usually about 30 minutes before showtime, and you are ready to enjoy the show!

Easy, right? So what are you waiting for? Go enjoy some broadway fun! XD

After you have seen the show, the app also sends you an email and a code that'll give $20 off a friend's order until the end of august, then in september the discount will be of $10 off. My code is IVWSR

The app is available the app store, google play and amazon. And there is the option of also buying tickets for west end performances in London.

Do you have any thoughts on the app?

Favorite Lipsticks for Summer

HELLO!

One of my favorite beauty products is lipstick! I have been obsessed with bright lipsticks for quite some time and they are my weakness at any beauty store. So, I decided to share some of my favorite lipstick for the spring/summer! :)


I picked six of my favorite lipsticks in my collection that Spring/Summer appropriate (I wrote appropriate because sometimes I like wearing some dark lipstick in the middle of a hot summer day). 
Here they are:


The first lipstick is by NYX, and I have fallen in love with these jumbo pencils. This one is in the color French Kiss, and it is a bright hot pink, pretty matte but not too dry and doesn't slip all around your face! And the fact that it is a jumbo pencil, makes application a lot easier.


The next one is another one by NYX, in the color XOXO. The camera did not do this color any justice, it is a lot more of a coral color than pink. It is the perfect color if you can't pull of orange lipsticks, like me! :)


The next one is by NYX, again! I love NYX, since it is pretty affordable and very good quality when comparing to other drugstore brands. This one is called Maraschino and is just a classic bright red, I decided to buy because the red that I have are darker.


I swear this is the last one by NYX! This is just a very neutral light pink color, and I usually wear it when I don't feel like putting too much makeup on. It is in the color Pink Lyric. The formula of the Lip Smacking Fun Colors is the one I love the most, it stays on for quite a bit and doesn't dry my lips, which is what I first look for in a lipstick! Besides, these lipsticks retail for around $4.00 at Ulta, which doesn't hurt. ;P


This lipstick is a bit on the more expensive side. It is by Givenchy in the color Fuchsia Irrésistible and it is a hot pink color. The formula is super moisturizing and stays on very well.


The last, but definitely not least, is one a funkier color (my favorite type of color :D). It is from the Too Faced Melted Lipsticks collection, in the color Melted Violet. It is very liquidy and the stay isn't too amazing, but the color is way to pretty not to mention. It is a pinkish lilac color. It is different from the pinks and reds, but it is the perfect color if you feel like getting into the funky lipsticks that have been trendy lately, since it is different but doesn't stand out too much.


Well, hope you liked this post! Make sure to tell me in the comments what are your favorite lipsticks for the Spring/Summer!
