August Ipsy Glam Bag

The August Ipsy bag is here! If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a $10/month beauty subscription service that offers deluxe samples and full size beauty products to try - all beautifully packaged in a keepsake bag. It is my most favorite subscription service I've tried, and if you enjoy trying new beauty products, I'd recommend it to you! Click here to sign up! 

Here's what came in the August bag:

• Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco - This hair oil is made with both olive and argan oils, and is formulated to be lightweight for everyday use. This is a generous sample size (o.7 oz) that I'll get many uses out of.

• Skone Cosmetics Luxe Doubler Eye/Lip Pencil in Wine - This multi-use liner is a gorgeous wine shade (go figure), that I'd never use on my eyes but will definitely use as a lip liner. It is creamy and applies easily. 

• Marsk Pro Line Eyeshadow Brush - I love getting brushes from Ipsy. This is a nice flat shadow brush that feels like it is good quality.

• Noyah Natural Lipstick in Desert Rose - Noyah's lipsticks are packaged in earth-friendly bamboo, and the product itself is made in the USA and is free of parabens, sulfates and is cruelty-free. This color is a semi-matte pink, but unfortunately it's not quite flattering on me. I do like the formula, however.

• Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in Elegantly Wasted - Trust Fund Beauty polishes are 7-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. This is an excellent value for an Ipsy Bag as it's full-sized. I love the packaging and the lilac color is pretty, too!

November Ipsy

If this is the first time you've seen one of my Ipsy posts, here's the down and dirty details: Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that delivers bags of beauty samples to your door for just $10 per month! If you are at all interested, give it a shot by signing up here. 

Here's what came in my Ipsy bag this month!

Temptu S/B Highlighter: This is a sheer highlighter that is transfer-resistant and light reflecting. Use this on cheeks, nose & forehead or body.

ClariSEA Sea Salt Solutions Instant Glow Powder Exfoliant: This exfoliator is 100% natural and is formulated with almond flour, sea salt, rose powder and orange peel powder. Use this to buff away dead skin and impurities to reveal vibrant skin. 

Be a Bombshell Eye Base in Submissive: This eye base is very similar to the Maybelline Color Tattoos, especially the color "Bad to the Bronze". It's lighter and less pigmented though. It can be used alone, or underneath shadows for extra intensity.

Nicole by OPI Nail Polish in Guys & Galaxies: This color is an Ipsy exclusive! It's comprised of iridescent silver glitter pieces and ultra small silver glitter.

Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oill Volume Shine Hair Spray: This product has two purposes - to nourish and style. It's infused with keratin, grape seed oil, and argan oil to nourish, strengthen and condition the hair while holding your locks in place.

Ipsy | June 2014

This month's Ipsy bag is here, and let me tell you - it.is.AWESOME. 

If you aren't familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription service for beauty samples. Ipsy has amazing value; oftentimes the bags are filled with a mix of deluxe samples and full-size products. And always the value of the bag surpasses the $10 it costs each month. If I were to recommend a beauty subscription service to anyone, it would flat out be Ipsy. Click any of the hyperlinked "Ipsy's" in this post to start your subscription.

This month's theme is "Pretty in Paradise" and features a bag styled by Rebecca Minkoff. This is easily the cutest Ipsy bag I've received - I LOVE the design of it! Now let's dive in to what goodies it came with...

• Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray - I've never really gotten too excited about "beach" sprays. I like to keep my hair mostly free of product because I like to go 2-3 days without a wash, but I will definitely have to try this out and maybe my mind will change.

• Essence of Beauty Fine Fragrance Body Mist in Forever Paris - This smells surprisingly good, and I really like the size of it! Perfect for summer travels.

• Be a Bombshell Lash Out Mascara - I always like to sample a new mascara. This seems nice, although I have yet to test that theory.

• Nicka K New York Shimmer Eyeliner - This is a beautiful emerald green eyeliner that is so dramatic and fun! I will certainly be giving this a go this summer.

• NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel - You know how much I love these. These made my best of beauty 2013 list and it's a miracle I got a shade I don't already own! Score!

What do you think of June's bag? I'd give it a 10/10 - this was probably one of the best bags I've received yet! I love me some Ipsy!
