ipsy glam bag contents for July 2015 ♥

ipsy bag for July!

The month's theme is 'Summer Lovin'.

Overall, a bit underwhelming....

NUDESTIX magnetic eye color with Sharpener - *gilt*

This eye crayon is actually really nice!  Glides on smooth AND it came with a sharpener.

That's really awesome since I didn't have a large crayon sized sharpener.

My Sample Value $24.00 (Full size!)

City Color cosmetics HD Powder

A finishing powder for after you apply foundation, etc.

I don't wear foundation, concealer, etc so I won't be needing this.

This will go to my gifting pile.

My Sample Value $3.42

Purlisse brightening serum

I like serums so I'll use this.  Still have a couple others I need to use up first though.

My Sample Value $25.33 (holy cow...)

jor'el parker classico roller perfume - *classico*

Eh...although it's a nice size perfume I don't really care for the scent.

Perfumes are a hit or miss for me and usually they are a miss.

My Sample Value $21.00

Crown Brush professional tweezers

I love beauty tools and could use a new professional tweezer.

Some subscribers got a pink one..I got the black. Boo!

My Sample Value $6.99 (Full size!)

Eye crayon swatch.

It's very pretty!

Overall, I didn't care much for the bag contents this month.

The total value of this month's bag (roughly) comes to $80.74

ipsy glam bag contents for April 2015 ♥

It's been an awesome week for deliveries♥

My April ipsy arrived today and I was super stoked...and even happier once I opened it!

As we know, the theme this month is "Beautifully Bohemian".

This is easily my most favorite ipsy bag to date.

The design is the same on both sides and it looks bigger than the past bags.

(I just checked--this bag is a lot bigger than the previous bags!)

This looks great!  

Also, I think for the first time, every single item is a full size.

I wasn't sure about the Gallany lipstick but I'm pretty sure that one is a full size too.

Here is the breakdown.

JulieG Nail Polish - *Damsel*

That's baby L trying to get his hands on my goodies.

I'm really into bright colors in general, so I love this shade.

The formula looks great too.

My Sample Value $3.99 (Full size!)

Crown Oval Concealer Brush C224

Crown brushes are great.  (I love my dual brush) But I will leave this brush int he packaging until I need to use it.  I already have a concealer brush so this will serve as a back up.

My Sample Value $7.45 (Full size!)

theBalm NUDE Dude Single Eyeshadow - *Fit*

theBalm is one of my favorite cosmetic brands.  

Not only for their quality but their packaging is so retro and quirky ♥

My Sample Value $3.00 (Full size!)

Olive Lip Balm - *Oats & Honey*

I'm all for organic, all natural beauty products.

I could also never have enough lip balm so yay!

Not much of a scent but very moisturizing.

My Sample Value $5.95 (Full size!)

Gallany lipstick - *Petal*

This is a new color to add to my lipstick collection.

It's actually pretty subtle when applied to the lips and can be built to a darker shade if needed.

My Sample Value $21.50 (Full size??)

I thought ipsy nailed it this month!

The bag was so awesome it made the whole month a good month ^_^

I'm most excited for the lipstick and NUDE Dude palette.

The total value of this month's bag (roughly) comes to $41.89

Super awesome value!

ipsy April 2015 Glam Room reveal ♥

Early access was today and of course I wanted to see the spoilers!

At first glance it feels kind of meh... but I realize it's a good variety!

I have two lip products however.

Let's break it down!

This month I am getting:

JulieG Nail Color in Damsel (a mid-tone pink creme)

theBalm NUDE Dude Single Eyeshadow in either Flirty or Fit

The Olive Lip Balm

Crown Brush Oval Concealer Brush

Gallany Lipstick in Petal

Not totally excited but you can never judge from photos.

I can't wait to get it in the mail and play around with them.

I may discover something new!

The lipstick looks like a gorgeous shade...Oooo~♥

ipsy glam bag contents for December 2014 ♥

I received my ipsy bag today...and I love it!

This month's theme is "Thinking of You".

Here are my contents. 

Looking very good♥

Coolway Boost Repair Treatment 

So excited to try this--anything that will repair and nourish my very damaged hair.

Looks like this works as a leave-in conditioner/hair mask.

It's a pretty good size too.  I have so much hair, I hope I get at least 2 tries out of this.

My Sample Value ~$3.75

(Full size value $29.95)

Pixi by Petra Fairy Dust - color*Brightening Bare*

Full size product!

Oooo I love products like this!  Shimmery, shiny, glittery eye make-up.

Reminds me of my younger days.

The color is subtle enough to use any day.  It's not crazy shimmery and glittery.

It's also very cute♥ 

An applicator is attached to the lid so you can apply it easily like a thick eye pencil.

My Sample Value $10.00

(Full size value $10.00)

Tarte deluxe lights, camera, lashes 4-in-1 mascara

ooo I was just needing a replacement for my current mascara.

This is perfect!

Works great and it's Tarte--a very popular, high-end brand.

Happy to have this♥

My Sample Value $5.99 (Travel size)
(Full size value $25.00)

NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm - color*Ladyfingers*

Full size

Yay, I got the color I wanted!

Always nice to have these, especially in the dry winter months.

It's also well pigmented and leaves a nice color.

mmmm I like♥

My Sample Value $5.94

(Full size value $5.94)

Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush

Full size!

So I didn't realize you can also receive beauty tools!

So far I love this brush--the bristles feel real nice and soft.

Can't wait to use it. 

My Sample Value $6.99

(Full size value $6.99)

I really love ipsy this month!

I think it may have beat out BirchBox...and I ADORE BirchBox.

It was just a good variety of products and all of them I will absolutely get use out of.

The bag this month is also cute--it's like a satin pouch that kind of reminds me of a pencil case.

It's got a cute tag on the zipper that says 'ipsy'.

This month the total value (roughly) comes to $32.67

Great bag to finish the year!
