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 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?

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!
