I opted for the Featured Box for March.

This is the 'Ready For Anything' Box.

I can always use new face cream.

My Sample Value $4.05

PARLOR blowout spray

I don't usually blow dry my hair...but this might be worth trying.

This sample is soooo tiny...but cute!  I almost don't want to open the package because I adore it!

These are great colors.  And hello, it's smashbox.

My Sample Value $12.44

I thought the samples were kind of small...especially the lipstick.

But overall I'm pretty happy with what I received.

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.
