ipsy August 2014 Glam Bag Review!

Hey everyone!

I know what you're thinking, two ipsy reviews in one week!? What? I know it's crazy, right? Well not really since my July ipsy review was very late... my bad. Anyways, my ipsy bag was kind of a surprise for me this month since it arrived even before I got the tracking information. Usually the tracking info comes around the 7th of each month, but mine came on the 11 a day before I got the email that it had shipped, so it was a nice surprise that it came a bit early!

This months theme is Beauty Schooled and the products came in this cute white pencil case like bag, and it is decorated with orange poke-a-dots. I am super excited about this months bag because all of the products that I received are products I have wanted to try, but have not got too. 

I received Dr. Brandt's Pore No More Pore Refiner, and I am very excited to see how this works. I have heard great things about this online and have wanted to get for a long time, but never actually got around to it. I was very happy to see that it was in my bag and I am hoping that all of the hype around this product is true

.
I also got a product by Urban Decay, which will always be one of my favourite brands. I got their Perversion Mascara and I haven't even tried it yet, but I already love it! Why? Because the name is amazing, and as the packaging says it's "so intense, you might need a safe word." I mean, how can it not be amazing!? Plus, I love the size of it because it's so easy to fit in any bag or clutch that you are traveling with!

A product by J. Cat Beauty was also featured in this months Glam Bag. I received their Flying Solo Eye Shadow in the shade Half Naked. Not only is it a beautiful shade, it comes in fantastic packaging. Now when a product is featured in beautiful packaging I love it even more. It's encased in a nice and simple compact case and in this small case there is not only an applicator, but a mirror as well! This will definitely be a product that I travel with.

As you may or may not know, I am the type of girl that never leaves the house without a lip balm so when I pulled Jersey Shore Sun's Mongongo Lip Conditioner. It smells amazing, and has made my lips feel smooth and hydrated so it definitely does its job! The only thing about this product is that it's supposed to be a anti-aging Lip Conditioner, so I don't really know how it does that. If you do know the answer please let me know!

Finally the product that I am most excited about! I got Klorane's Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk and I literally almost screamed from excitement when I saw that it was in my bag! Now you may think I'm crazy when I say this, but I have never used a dry shampoo. I know right!? That's why I'm excited! I don't usually suffer from oily hair even if I go a day or two without showering so that's why I've never tried dry shampoo, but now that I have it I will definitely use it! 

This has been my favourite bag from ipsy so far! I received all great products from amazing brands that I love or have wanted to try. I already can't wait until Septembers bag to see what I'm getting next!

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
