Ipsy Glam Bag | June 2016

June's Ipsy Glam bag is here, and it's jam packed with good stuff all conveniently packaged in a cute graffiti-ed keepsake bag. Ipsy costs just $10 a month and all sorts of cool deluxe-size samples and full-sized products show up at your door! Want to sign up? Click here. 

Here's the rundown of June's bag...

• clariSEA Deep Pore Detox Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Mask - Clears breakouts, gently exfoliates and refreshes the skin. It's a mask "disguised" as a cleanser; just mix it with water for deep cleaning. 

• Hey Honey 24Seven Day & Night Revitalizing Cream - Heals and hydrates, balances out the skin, and perfect for use either day or not. 

• Seraphine Botanicals Happy Hibiscus Blush - A rosy blush shade that you can layer to the intensity you desire. It's 98% natural (nice!) and claims to last up to 8 hours. 

• Sephora Formula X Nail Polish in Wingwoman - A reddish-pink summer red. Formulated without parabens, pthalates or sulfates. I love the Formula X polishes, they're long lasting and apply easily. 

• Urban Decay eyeshadow in Fireball - A peachy-gold shimmer shade that switches appearance in the light - a "shade-shifter". Velvety smooth and easy to apply. Urban Decay shadows are among my favorites.

January Ipsy Glam Bag | 2016

Sorry for the late post - my beauty room has been in disarray while we prep our nursery! But, as of this past weekend I finally have my space back and I was able to get some photos taken. 

Annnyway, this month's Ipsy Glam Bag arrived and it's a good one! Glam Bags cost just $10 a month, and you get  variety of full sized products and deluxe samples to test. Your beauty preferences are taken in to account so you usually end up with at least a couple things you like. To get your own glam bag, sign up here. 

Here's what came in January's bag: 

• Jelly Pong Pong Fair Lashes CURL mascara - This is a totally new brand and product to me. This water-resistant mascara claims to hold curl all day, and give extra volume and definition to the lashes. It contains no mineral oils or fragrance.

• Hikari Cosmetics Cream Metallic Pigment Shadow in Mink - This is a beautiful nude pink cream shadow. It's very soft and easy to apply. I can see myself using this very frequently. 

• Lasting Smiles lip balm in Peppermint Creme - This is an organic lip balm that's fair trade certified, with ingredients that are sourced from small farms cooperatives. For every 1,000 balms sold, a child's cleft lip surgery is funded.  It smells amazing and has a cooling feel on the lips. I really like this lippie.

• theBalm Mr. Write(Now) eyeliner pencil in Jack B. Bronze - This eyeliner glides on smoothly and is a beautiful shade of bronze. It has a built in sharpener so you don't have to worry about it dulling and it has some serious lasting power.

• Hey Honey Open Your Eyes Eye Contour Lifting Fluid - This serum is meant to reduce puffiness, hydrate and tighten the undereye area. It can be applied under makeup for a tightened, firm look.

Here's what came in May's bag....

• Hey Honey Take it Off Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask - I have never heard of this brand before, but you know I love my masks. This will be fun to try.

• Balanced Guru No Frizz Organic Sesame & Lemongrass Balancing Oil - This is a really nice sample size, totaling 0.5 oz. It smells really nice like lemongrass and how awesome that it's organic, too!

• Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow duo - I've never tried any makeup from Pacifica but I'm really looking forward to trying this! The purple in this duo is really beautiful.

• Hang Ten Classic Sport Sunscreen - Considering I got a tiny bit of sunburn from being outside this weekend, this is much needed. Perfect little travel size!

• Pur-Lisse pur-moist hydra-balance moisturizer - I love having backup moisturizers, so this will be nice to have in my backup stash as well as for traveling.
