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!

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!
