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! 

Take care! xxx

Clinique Redness Solution Review!

Hey everyone!

So if you don't already know, I am a pretty pale person who sometimes (most days) have problems with my skin. I get acne like most people but because I am so pale I have a lot of redness on my skin that is very prominent. I've never really tried to find something that would make it go away but because it's summer and very hot outside, my redness is showing a lot more. So I found a product that I am very happy with!

So Clinique is becoming one of my favourite brands right now, I have one of their moisturizers and one of there cleansing foams, all of which I have been extremely happy with! I know it's more of an expensive brand and not everyone can afford it, but there stuff is really worth it, so if you can spare the money it is definitely worth it. So I though I would check out what Clinique had for redness of skin and I found exactly what I was looking for!

I bought Clinique's redness solution daily protective base with SPF 15. This was such a perfect buy because not only does it minimize redness it also is has sun protection. Now this doesn't completely mask the redness on its own, if you want it completely gone I would suggest using a cover-up, but there are days when I don't want to have a face full of make-up and I like to just use it on it's own.It's great because it does exactly what I want it to and is great for summer because it does have SPF in it. You only have to use a little bit so the bottle should last you quite awhile! 

Anyways, that's it for now! Just to let you know my Twitter and Instagram unsernames are now in my blog description so feel free to follow, I may (will) follow back (if you leave a comment saying "blog more":) This is not to gain followers you can just leave that comment and I promise I will check your stuff out, I honestly just want to be able to chat with the people that are reading this :)

Take care! xxx
