ipsy glam bag contents for August 2015 ♥

ipsy for August♥

The theme this month is 'prep school'.

Like I mentioned in my previous post...this bag totally reminds me of Clueless.

This bag is so much better than last month.

Last month was probably my least favorite.

Briogeo blossom & blossom volumizer

This is the only product I won't be using.

Volumizing my already big hair is the last thing I want to do.

Briogeo is a great hair care brand though so I'm sure this works great!

My Sample Value $3.53

JUARA facial mask

I just finished using my JUARA face exfoliating scrub and I loved it!

I'm sure I'll love this one too.  A new favorite brand of mine.

My Sample Value $4.00

TRUST FUND nail polish - *elegantly wasted*

If only I could ever be 'elegantly wasted'.

Anyway, this is a big bottle and I like the color.

I don't own anything like this.  A light, almost pastel lavender kind of shade.

My Sample Value $13.24

Skone Cosmetics luxe doubler eye/lip pencil - *wine*

I've never heard of this brand.  The color is nice though. A sexy dark red with purple.

My Sample Value $12.00 (Full size!)

Noyah natural lipstick - *desert rose*

This lipstick sample is super tiny! About the size of a perfume sampler.

It'll still last me a while though.

It was hard to get an estimate on the value.

My Sample Value ~$4.00

Swatches for the lipstick and eye/lip liner.

I love that 'wine' color!

So overall I'm happy because this month was super awesome compared to my horrible July bag.

The total value of this month's bag (roughly) comes to $36.77

ipsy August 2015 glam room reveal ♥

This month's theme for ipsy is 'prep school'.

The bag totally matches the theme too.

This month I'm getting:

JUARA skincare radiance facial mask

Skone cosmetics luxe doubler eye/lip pencil in Wine

Briogeo blossom & blossom volumizer

noyah Natural Lipstick

Trust Fund Beauty nail polish in Elegantly Wasted

Overall, this looks like it's going to be a MUCH better bag than last month.

My bag was pretty bad last month...

I really like the nail polish shade!

ipsy August 2015 'glam bag' reveal ♥

Ipsy's theme for August is 'prep school'.

This bag design totally reminds me of the movie "Clueless"!

Excited for the sneak peek items this month.

Stay tuned!

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 July 2015 glam room reveal ♥

This month is going by so fast!

Here's my glam room reveal and surprise surprise, my ipsy bag was delivered today.

I'm not too excited about this month and nothing is really standing out to me.

Hmmm...but that's ok because my last 2 ipsy bags were amazing!

ipsy July 2015 sneak peek ♥

Totally forgot to post these.

These are the sneak peeks ipsy has been posting for our July bag.

The theme is 'Summer Lovin'.

The bag is colorful and pretty cute.

Subscribers will received one from each photo in their bag.

I was really hoping for the essie nail polish but my glam room reveal shows that I'm not getting it.

O well...

What do you think of the sneak peeks this month?

ipsy glam bag contents for June 2015 ♥

Here is my June ipsy bag.

The theme this month is 'Swim into beauty'.

The bag.

The front is embossed with 'ipsy' and the back is just plain black.

A lot of people thought maybe the bag would be waterproof from the spoiler image.

I don't think it is.

I thought I got a really good bag this month.

The 3 face masks alone is awesome!

BioRepublic face mask trio - cucumber, aloe, green tea

This was my favorite item in the bag.

I love face masks and I received three!

Tried the cucumber breeze last night and it was awesome.

My Sample Value $14.50 (Full size!)

Lavanilla Laboratories body butter - *pure vanilla*

This is a an all natural brand.

I haven't opened it since I have so many opened lotions right now but I'm excited to try it out.

My Sample Value $2.41

smashbox Photo Finish Primer

I'm not a big primer person.

In fact, I rarely use any because I don't like to wear foundation and cover-up.

My Sample Value $9.00

J.cat liptitude 24/7 - *hikilicious*

A bit bright but this will be fun to wear.

My Sample Value $5.99 (Full size!)

tre'Stique mini shadow crayon - *kona coffee*

I use brown a lot and crayon shadows are great for on the go so I'll throw this into my travel make-up bag.

My Sample Value $10.67

Swatches.

The total value of this month's bag (roughly) comes to $42.57

ipsy has been giving out awesome bags lately.

The values are always high and I have fun experimenting with their products.

This month was a pretty good bag--maybe one of my favorites!

ipsy June 2015 Glam Room reveal ♥

Today we had the option to reveal our ipsy glam rooms.

Of course I want to see!

But first, this month's theme is 'Swim into beauty'.

I posted the bag design the other day and I'm still curious whether it's waterproof or not.

The teaser photo suggests that it is.

Interesting!

So at first glance I noticed that I'm not getting the Too Faced Melted lipstick.

I'm so sad....I really wanted it!

Instead, I got the smashbox primer which I probably won't really use. 

aaah well...

These are what I'm receiving this month:

J.Cat Beauty Liptitude Hydrating Stain (2 variations of color)

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

BioRepublic Skincare Sheet Mask Trio 

(3 sheet masks in Aloe Rescue, Cucumber Breeze and Green Tea Detox)

Lavanila Laboratories Body Butter in Pure Vanilla

tre'StiQue Mini Shadow Crayon (4 variations of color)

I will be sampling all 3 sheet masks!  How cool is that? It almost counts as 3 full items.

Also, the mini shadow crayon will have 4 different shades.  I hope I get the Marimoto Pink Pearl.  I'd prefer a color over another neutral/nude shadow.

ipsy June 2015 sneak peek of the 'glam bag' ♥

So lately ipsy started releasing their sneak peeks via snapchat rather than Instagram or Facebook.

It's a bummer because I don't use snapchat.  Hence, no sneak peeks were posted the last couple months.  But I was surprised to see a sneak peek of the 'glam bag' on Facebook this morning!

This is what the ipsy bag will look like for June♥

It's black with 'ipsy' embossed all over.  And what does the water mean?

Is this bag waterproof?  Is it made out of rubber?

Very curious.

What do you think of the bag?

ipsy June 2015 ::early sneak peek:: ♥

Our very first sneak peek for ipsy is here.

All subscribers will receive ONE of these products in their glam bag.

Too Faced Melted Lipstick

smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Hoping for the Too Faced Lipstick ♥

ipsy glam bag contents for May 2015 ♥

I received my tracking number yesterday and when I checked, it was already delivered!

This was my fastest ipsy delivery ever!

This month's theme is 'Jetsetter'.

And the bag is a canvas material bag that came in 3 different variations.

I'm pretty happy with mine!

The interior of the bag totally caught me off guard--a neon green lining.

Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream

CC cream for the hair?  It stands for 'Complete Correction'.

First off, this product smells amazing.  I really love it.

It can be used for many things.  On damp hair or dry, for styling, heat protection, adding shine, etc.

That's just to name a few.

Sounds very promising.

My Sample Value $8.50

(Full size value $25.00)

Peter Lamas Detoxifying Citrus C Facial Cleanser

I'm overflowing in facial scrubs right now so a normal cleanser is perfect.

I'm happy to learn that Pharmaca carries this brand and if you know me, I love everything from Pharmaca.  Yay!

My Sample Value $3.75

(Full size value $14.99)

pixi by petra Beauty Bronzer - *Summertime*

So this is my first ever bronzer!

I've never used it before...but after watching and learning from beauty vloggers, I'm totally trying this out.  I'll be learning to contour my face!

My Value Sample ~$10.00

(Full size value $18.00 for a bronzer + kabuki brush set)

bellapierre Gel Eyeliner - *Ebony*

Very creamy and soft.

Heavily pigmented too.  I hope it doesn't smudge.

This is great because I only have 'colored' liners right now.

Was in need of a black one!

My Sample Value $14.99 (Full size!)

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + Bonus Lipgloss - *Failbait & Bittersweet*

I was really looking forward to this one.

I've never tried a lip primer before.  This sample comes with a lip primer (in ozone) and 2 foil samples of their lipgloss.  Only thing is, how do I use these lip gloss samples?

Do I need to use a lip brush to apply it?

Hmmm....  I'm loving that purple one though.

My Sample Value $15.00 for Lip pencil, Gloss, unknown value.

(Full size value $20.00)

This is why I love beauty box subscriptions...

All of these products are new to me (except for the eyeliner) so it's a learning experience.

The total value of this month's glam bag (roughly) comes to $52.24

Wow, that's a great value! Plus I got a cute canvas pouch♥

How was your ipsy this month?
