June 2018 Ipsy Bag

My bag this month is a cute striped yellow perfect for summer but everyone got different shades of the striped bags and the theme is Flying Colors.

I received:

A charcoal clay bubble mask from the brand SOO AE. I tried it and it’s a cool concept but not sure it’s my thing. I did not really notice much difference in the way my skin felt after using it but I’ve only tried one of the packets. I will say I wish it came with one of the screw caps like some do now cause I definitely did not use all the product and probably could have gotten two uses out of one packet. Retails for $3.00 and looks like you can buy them at Walmart.

An illuminating highlighter in the shade Midnight Sun from Nomad Cosmetics.  This is a very pretty highlight and applies nicely. I love how they packaged the sample cause it’s a cute little compact and easy to travel with. Full size retails for $17.00

Sorry the swatch is a bit blurry. Didn’t realize til I was doing this post.

Pure anywhere balm in Rose by Feel Beauty. This was very nice on my lips and was not sticky at all. You can also use it on your cheeks and eyes. Full size retails for $15

Step 1 skin equalizer hydrating primer from Make Up For Ever. I did not think I was going to like this since my skin in Combo but I was pleasantly surprised. It goes on nicely and sinks right into the skin and doesn’t make me oily through out the day. Full size retails for $37.00

Lastly is the Mineral 5 eyeshadow palette in Tomboy Vibe by Pacifica. This palette is really pretty and very pigmented. I have used it twice and the shadows blend very nicely. This is a Ipsy exclusive so it’s not sold on Pacifica’s site which is a bummer for those that might have wanted to purchase this palette.

Happy Monday

February 2018 Ipsy Bag

The bag this month was a blush pink with lace at the top which was very elegant for Valentines and I really liked it.

This months theme was Unzipped: Embracing Everything You Are

When I first got a peak at my bag I was kinda like meh but now that I have used the products for a week or so I actually have enjoyed every product in the bag.

I received:

Pink Pewter lash but not least dual sided mascara in black. It has a curling side and a volume side. I will say the curling side is kind of odd and the volume sides brush is hella ginormous but it has not flaked at all and the formula is good so I can work with the wonky brushes. It retails for $20.00 which might be steep if you have to fiddle around with a weird brushes.

Sand & Sky brilliant skin pink clay mask. I have only used this once but I really liked it and it did not break me out. It doesn’t get super tight or itchy either which I can not stand in other masks I own. Full size retails for $49.00 but you can get a sample size like I got for $19.95 still pretty steep.

Luxie Beauty 249 blending & shading eye brush. If you have read any of my Ipsy posts you already know I love this brand of brushes and this one is no exception. It is so perfect for travel as well. Retails for…no clue it’s not on their site so the shading side is $12.00 and the blending side is $12.00. I hate it when they don’t have products they send us on their sites but I guess sometimes we get them first to test out maybe??

Hey Honey come undone face & eye daily makeup remover. It does what it says nothing really revolutionary but I like it. Full size retails for $32.00.

And lastly the Haleys Beauty re: fine prime foundation primer. Usually when I get these I am not impressed but I have used this 4 times and it has a beautiful finish and makes my skin look very smooth. It also doesn’t irritate my skin. Retails for $12.00.

Ipsy now has a shopper section where you can shop all the products in your bag without having to go to another site which is nice and you get discounts on some of the products as well. Here is the link to that IPSY SHOPPER

Happy Monday
