OCTOBER IPSY BAG!

Hello Lovelies!!

It is that time of the month, I got my Ipsy bag!!! I know a lot of people are tired of getting monthly beauty subscriptions and samples, but I am definitely not one of them! It feels like Christmas every month getting these in, a little treat for yourself is always nice! 

If you don't know what Ipsy is, it is a monthly beauty subscription that sends you 4-5 beauty samples, and sometimes full size items for only $10 per month, plus it always comes with a make up bag! Want to join Ipsy, CLICK HERE. 

October's Bag

 Epice International Purifying Exfoliant 1 oz

Full size is 3.30 fl oz rtv $ $32

At first when I squeezed a bit of this out I thought it was a lotion, but when I rubbed it around I can definitely feel the micro beads. It has a subtle clean smell, that won't be over powering, I cannot wait to give this a try!

 Doll 10 Beauty H2Glo Highlighter in Champagne 0.15 oz

Full size is 0.35 oz and retails for $30

This is a great sized deluxe sample! I was so happy to see this in my bag, I love trying new highlighters! The formula is really nice, this highlighter is subtle and perfect for an every day look!

 MICA Beauty Cosmetics Shimmer Powder Eyeshadow in 93 Reluctance 0.10 oz Full size! RTV $14

At first I was not excited to see this eyeshadow in here, but then I swatched it, and it is so beautiful! It swatched really smooth and buttery and has great pigmentation.

I would buy this eyeshadow, and I would definitely recommend it!

Fig & Rouge Nourishing and Smoothing Hand Cream in Mango Mandarin 0.67 oz / 20 ml, Full size! RTV $6.56!

This smells so incredibly good! I love Mango Mandarin scents! The packaging on this is cute as well, I love the cap, it reminds me of L'Occitane caps!

 Starlooks Mini Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasure

Full Size RTV $12

Usually I dislike the many lipglosses that Ipsy sends out but I can't complain about this one, it is a nice color that I can actually use!!! The gloss is quite sticky but the color is pretty and pigmented. 

Overall I'm going to give October's Ipsy Bag a 10/10!! That is right I gave this bag a 10!!!!!! I will use every single one of these products, the colors are great, the pigmentation is great, exfoliants are always nice as well as great smelling hand cream! I haven't tried most of the brands, and that is something that I look for in these bags, something new, or something I WANT to try before purchasing. I am so pleased with this bag, great job Ipsy!!! Hoping for a great month next month too!

IPSY MARCH 2014

Hello Lovelies!

It is that time of the month, my Ipsy bag is here! If you don't know what Ipsy is, it is a monthly beauty subscription that costs $10 per month and they send you 4-5 beauty items that will either be samples, deluxe samples or even full sized! Want to join Ipsy, CLICK HERE. 

Here are the items I got in my March Ipsy:

 

 This months bag was created by an artist in California, I think it is great the Ipsy is working with local artists! The bag isn't my cup of tea personally, don't get me wrong I love art, just not this kind..

Nicole by O.P.I. Roughless Sand Polish in On What Grounds? I haven't been very big on the sand polish craze, but I am willing to give this a try because it is a really pretty blue that is perfect for the Spring!

Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer 0.4 FL OZ This primer has a bit of a bronze tint to it so I'm a little hesitant to try it due to the fact that I could be Snow White's long lost sister in the pale department. I do like the Pixi brand from what I have tried though, so I will be trying this on a day when I don't have plans just to make sure it doesn't clash with my skin tone.

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready. I actually like this lipstick color! It is one of the only lip colors that Ipsy has sent that I can wear! Yay!!

 

 Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow quad in Bora Bora. The colors are pretty but unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of this brand or the ingredients in their products. I wish Ipsy wouldn't put their products in their bags every single month... 

 

MARCH IPSY (MYGLAM) SNEAK PEAK #1!

Hello Lovelies!

It is the first Monday of the month, so you know what that means... IPSY SNEAK PEAK!!!

Today's sneak peak is.....

MARCH GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #1: Travel tips and travel lips! Now is the time to start planning a trip to your dream destination with one of these amazing products.

As you can see from the picture, there is a lipgloss and a lipstick in a vibrant dark pink/red color. 

Here is what I think the items are:

Bare Minerals, Double Trouble lip set! Retail $14

Even though it is a set, it is possible that Ipsy will be breaking them up and it will be an either or item. So I'm assuming that you will either get the lipstick or the lipgloss. *I could be wrong and this might not be what is in the sneak peak*

Are you excited for this sneak peak? Let me know!

APRIL IPSY BAG!

APRIL IPSY BAG!

Hey everyone, I finally got my Ipsy bag in the mail today! If you don't know what Ipsy is, it is a monthly subscription that costs $10 per month and you get 4/5 beauty products! If you would like to join you can click Here. I love Ipsy because it is one of the cheapest monthly beauty subscriptions and it usually comes with a great selection of items as well as great sizes! 

 

Here is what I received in my bag this month!

 

The first item that I took notice to was this little bottle of Big Sexy Hair in Powder Play! What it is, is a volumizing and texturizing powder! Inside it is about half way full, I wish there was more in there, but a little goes a long way! I love the size (0.07 OZ) because it is easy to keep it in my purse for when I am out and need something quick to use for volume! I'm so excited for this product!! 

 

Sation Nail Lacquer in Love At First Byte

Yay for a full sized product! This nail polish is a nude pink color. 

 

Be a Bombshell blush in Sweet Cheeks! 

Another full sized product! Yes Ipsy!! I have been waiting for them to put a blush in a bag that wasn't on a paper for forever! I love this color, it is absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to rock it!

Last but not least, and can you say omg another full-sized product, Two Cosmetics duo eyeshadow in Heartache! 

Although, it is sad because as you can tell it is broken =/ but the Ipsy costumer service is amazing and they are sending me a new one out! 

 

Overall, Ipsy has once again really impressed me this month! Yes, there was only four products but three of them were full-sized!!! I cannot wait to see what is in store for next month!!

 

 

 

 

August Myglam Bag!

August Myglam Bag!

Myglam has been having great bags ever since I joined a couple of months ago in June. This is my third bag so far and I have to say that Myglam is my favorite beauty sub I have right now. I love that with every bag I get a new make-up bag that is perfect for my purse because I like to trade them up every now and then. This month was definitely not disappointing with a total 6 items not including the bag!

Like last month the make up bag is a mesh bag! I do like mesh bags because they are nice for taking in the shower or to the beach without having to worry about them getting ruined. Although I am not a big fan of orange but I will still definitely be using this bag.

Inside the bag were 6 amazing products! I am so excited that there were 6 this month, thank you Myglam!!

Andrea's Choice Circus Nail Color in Ringmaster. We actually got one of her polishes last month as well but I love getting polishes so I am happy with this product.

Myglam Glam Gloss in 01. This is actually a really great full size lipgloss, it smells so good, just like watermelon. I haven't been able to tell if it is sticky though because I always wear chapstick under lipgloss and that prevents the sticky feeling on your lips. The color is a really nice baby pink.

S.A.L.T.Y. Cosmetics Loose Luxury Mineral Eye Shadow in Glama-ZOID 1GM. Wow two products that are made just for Myglam, that is pretty awesome. I haven't tried this eyeshadow yet but the color is a pretty glitter white but it is iridescent and turns pink.

Demeter Roll On Perfume Oil in Clean Skin .29 FL Oz. I love getting perfumes! This does have a very nice clean scent, it actually reminds me of baby lotion lol 

Eclos Anti-Aging Regenerative Cream .25 FL OZ. This has a strong scent to it but it does fade after a little bit. I love getting moisturizers because I have such dry skin, with all these beauty subs it seems like I will never have to actually buy one lol!

Eclos Anti-Aging Face Serum .5 FL OZ. I haven't used this, I'm actually going to be giving it to my mom because she really wants to try it!

MYGLAM BAG JULY

YAY good news I got my July Myglam Bag!!! This is only my second bag but I think I signed up at the perfect timing because both the June and July bags have been amazing!! Lets get started with what was all in the bag!

As usual the bag came in the metallic pink packaging (not pictured) and inside was the post cards with all the information on the products that you received. There is a note card introducing the Andrea's Choice nail polish that actually has a sticker on it, cute if you have kids they love stickers! The last note card is a Nume note card that has coupon codes. I will not be using them so if you would like to use them here are the deals. $49 for a set of Hydro Punch or Pure Remedy Products MGLAM405387547 and a 50% off any products on http://www.numestyle.com/ MG194243561

Now to the good part!! The theme of the July bag is 'Beach Beauty' and was nothing less than amazing, I got exactly what I was wanting so I am a very happy camper. I also loved that I have not tried any of the products in the bag previously so I am excited to try out new items. The bag itself was cute and perfect for the summer; it is a mesh bag so you can take it to the beach or even in the shower. Also the bag did not stink at all like last months bag did! 

The first item I pulled out of the bag were the Yes To Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes.

I wasn't sure if I was going to try these right away because I got my hair colored a few days ago and I ended up being allergic to the hair dye so my face and neck are both covered in a rash, just my luck! I decided to try them out anyways and like it says on the package they are very soothing! They did not irritate my skin where I was rashed out, they actually comforted it, so I will be buying these in a full size!

The second item I pulled out of the bag was the Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color.

Omg the packaging of this is so adorable!! The nail polish comes in a plastic tube case which is something that I have never seen before so that was really new and cute to see. I am not sure if Andrea herself designed the packaging but whoever did design it did an amazing job! I got the yellow nail polish in Somersault. Thank you Myglam Gods, it was like they knew I wanted the yellow!! I have a few white polishes already and only had one yellow polishes but it is old and needs to go into that garbage, so thank you Myglam for sending the yellow one to me! I tried this product out as well; I had to use 3 coats for the color to be solid. It is a little bit streaky but since it is new they might still be changing the formula. Overall I do like this product, the packaging has won me over it is to die for.

The third product I got was the Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer.

I honestly would have been happy by getting either of the "OR" products in this selection. The other product was a Kiehl's facial lotion. I have not tried this product yet, I am waiting for my face to become rash free first and then I will try it out on the beach!

The fourth item I got was the Nume Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner.

I love conditioner, especially new conditioners because my hair is thick and a bit damaged from dying my hair for over the past 10 or so years. I am planning on trying this out tonight so hopefully it goes well and I like it!

The last product I got, *drum roll please*, was the Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Leslie. I was over the moon when I saw that this was in my bag, mostly everyone wanted the stain but I was set on wanting this lipgloss. Even if I would have got the stain I knew a few people that would have switched with me, so that was nice to know. I have already fallen in love with this gloss, it is a lip plumping gloss so your lips will get that numbing feeling. The color is a sheer sparkly pink, I love pink glosses so this color was perfect for me! The gloss is not super sticky so that is a positive in my book. Overall I would buy this product again.

Here is a swatch of the Buxom Lip Polish

I honestly have nothing bad to say about this months bag I give it an A+++! Everything was sealed, minus the lipgloss, and I really appreciate when items are sealed! I love getting deluxe travel sized items because I fly a lot from one end of the country to the next every couple months or so.

Myglam bag is only $10 a month for at least 4 items, I would definitely recommend this subscription to anyone. They have been doing so great the past two months, I cannot wait to get some sneak peaks of next months bag! If you would like to join the Myglam Bag Subscription you can sign up at http://www.myglam.com/ I think there currently is a wait list but I think getting into this subscription is worth the wait!
