Ipsy Glam Bag | July 2016

It's that time of the month - my Ipsy Glam Bag has arrived and it's full of full-sized and deluxe sample-sized goodies. This bag costs just $10/month and it's customizable to your beauty preferences. If you're interested in signing up, click here. 

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

• Trust Fund Beauty nail polish in No Filter - This is a full sized nail polish in a gorgeous muted purple shade. This brand is 10-free (a.k.a. free of the nasty chemicals many polishes include) so you can paint away with no worries! I've had good luck with this brand in the past when it comes to lasting power and quality. 

• Elizabeth Mott Show Me Your Cheeks blush in Peach Pink - A buildable blush with a beautiful peachy golden sheen that reminds me of Benefit's Coralista. This brand is cruelty-free and never tested on animals. 

• ML Cosmetics felt tip eyeliner in Emerald Isle - This is an eyeliner pen in an emerald shade. The green isn't really my kind of style, but it could be fun for the right occasion. The tip is fine and easy to apply. 

• TheBalm Meet Matte eyeshadow in Matt Kumar - TheBalm eyeshadows are awesome. This shade is a matte cranberry shade that's bold and applies and blends smoothly.

• Befine Night Cream - This cream uses natural estrogen to reduce wrinkles and prevent premature aging. It claims to increase circulation in the skin for healthier color and tone.

February Ipsy Glam Bag

February's Ipsy Glam bag was a doozy - with tons of value and deluxe sized samples, I have to say I was impressed! Ipsy Glam Bags cost just $10/month and if you like to try beauty products out before you buy them, this subscription is for you. If you want to sign up, click here (affiliate link - I'll get points if you want to use my link). Here's a detailed look at what came in February's bag:

• Margaret Dabbs London Mini Crystal Nail File - I've always wanted a crystal nail file (weird, I know) so I was really excited about seeing this in my bag! Crystal nail files are supposed to give a smoother finish to your nails, hopefully preventing future splitting. 

• Trust Fund Beauty nail polish in I'm Kind of a Big Deal - Trust Fund Beauty's polish is vegan and cruelty free. This pink shade is really pretty and you get a whole full sized bottle! Great value! 

• Seraphine Botanicals Carrot + Rose Hydrating Cream - This moisturizer smells delicious, like a Starburst! It's formulated with glycerin for hydration, and is free of parabens, and is vegan and cruelty free. I think the packaging is adorable, too! 

• Naked Cosmetics Mica Pigment in Sierra Nevada - Naked Cosmetics are made from 100% oxidized Mica, and they don't contain any unnatural fillers like talc, oil or wax. They're also non-comedogenic, so they won't clog your pores.

• Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil - This is a brand new product, and marketed as the first ever primer oil. It's formulated with 15 essential and lipid-rich plant oils. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm definitely intrigued.

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!
