ipsy July 2014 Glam Bag Review

Hey everyone! 

So I know this is very late but, I wanted to post it anyways. I've been all over the place with my entries lately and as of today posts will be back on schedule! As you know I had problems with my internet, computer, and the last two weeks the buses in my city have not been running. You might think that was super random to bring up, but no it was why I didn't post much in the last couple weeks. My work is about a 30 minute bus ride away from my house, which makes it about an hours walk away. Yes, a few days I had to walk to work and home from work so I've been completely wiped by the time I've finished work. So for the past two weeks all I've really done is sleep, work, eat, and repeat. BUT I'M BACK!!! :D

So July's ipsy bag was themed Sensationally Sunkissed! The hot pink make-up bag is absolutely fabulous, it's a great size and super cute! As always there were five items in the bag, and this month it all had to do with summer!

From bareMINERALS I got there READY Eyeshadow in the shade The Inspiration. I absolutely love the shade they chose to send me, although I haven't really messed around with it from what I can tell from a quick application, it will become one of my favourites. When applied it goes on real smoothly and doesn't have the chalky look that some eyeshadows have. I really like this product and I'm excited to experiment with it more.

This was probably my favourite product to get and it is by Clear Clinic Laboratories. It is their Vanished Clear Spot Treatment which you apply onto any blemish and it'll diminish the look of any spot in just a couple of hours! I usually like to use it before I go to bed, after I've done my night time skin routine. It is amazing and once I run out I will be repurchasing it!

I also got to try out a brand that I've been wanting to try out for a very long time, and that is Pixi Beauty! I got their Mini Tinted Brilliance Balm in the shade Unique Pink. It isn't very prominent shade, it is just enough colour to slightly change my lip colour. I really like just because my usual lip balm isn't tinted so this is just a nice product to have on hand. 

I also got a product by Pur~lisse and it is their pur~product essential daily moisturizer in spf 30. Now this is a product that I wasn't really excited for just because I do have a lot of products like this but it's always good to try and weed out the ones you like best. I like this product quite a lot  just because it is a light moisturizer and it has spf in it, which is always good for us pale individuals!

The product that I least liked was by Models own and it was their nail polish in the shade Red Sea. I am not a bug fan of nail polish with glitter in it, especially if it's bigger pieces of glitter. However I did try it out to see whether or not I would like it. It didn't dry properly and was kind of a tacky texture which was not good! I am a big fan of nail polishes but this is definitely one I will not be wearing again.

Anyways that is it for today! let me know what kind of pots you want to see from me, or products you want me to review!

Take care! xxx

ipsy May 2014 Glam Bag Review

Hey everyone!

So I finally got my May ipsy Glam Bag which I have been excited to get all month long. My fist ipsy bag was amazing and the bag I got for May was no exception. It again was a fantastic bag and I can’t wait to see what I will get in June.

This month’s theme was Fresh Picks and it definitely lived up to the theme. I received Therapy Session Hair Mask by Eva NYC which I have used a couple times already and it is fantastic. I have very crazy hair and this definitely seemed to help repair the damage my hair has. Also, a bonus of this product is that is smells heavenly, so even if it doesn’t completely do what you want, it will make your hair smell great!

In this month’s Glam Bag I also received the Mineral Eyeshadow Duo #1 which are the shades Celestial and Opal and this product is by Pacifica. They are nice natural shades and have a bit of shimmer to them which can be a nice effect if you are going for a natural look or even going out. The shades aren’t too pigmented which I am fine with because with my skin tone more than a bit of colour can be too much, but it might not be something you all would enjoy.

Another Fresh Pick product that I got is Thermal Spring Water by Avene. I absolutely love this product because not only does it feel good because it’s summer and it’s a nice and refreshing spray, but it does its job.  I have sensitive skin which tends to make by skin itchy and usually a redness to my skin as well and this helps to sooth both of these problems. I would recommend this product to anyone because this is absolutely a must have for me now.

Now I don’t know about most people but I love scented things. I have a lot of scented candles, incense, body sprays, and perfumes. That being said, I was super excited when I saw that I got endless euphoria by Calvin Klein. This smells amazing and is the perfect travel size to fit in any purse or bag that you carry. It is a simple roll on perfume which is great so you can be watchful of how much you want to be putting on. Love this product! If you can get a hold of this or try your friends I highly recommend it!

The final product that I received this month is the perfect product for me and it is Sans Tan Anti-aging Sunscreen by Jersey Shore Sun. I was happy to receive this product because I am a very fair skinned individual and any skin protection I can get is welcome into my day to day routine. I will be using this in just a small area on my face where I get burned most often which is my cheek area and the bridge of my nose. It will be nice to be able to use a UV protection without smelling like sunscreen for my entire day.

Anyways that is it for now! If you received a ipsy Glam Bag this month let me know what you got and what you liked and disliked. I am very happy to say that all the products I received this month are amazing and I hope that the June ipsy bag is just as good, if not better.

Take care! xxx
