IPSY June bag



 NYX Blush in "Sand" $5
This is a very shimmery golden color. I have been using it as a highlight. There is not much color that comes off, but has a great glow to it.
 J. Cat Sparkling Cream Palette $4.49
When you first look at it you may think it is for your eyes, but this is a body and face glitter palette. It is not recommended for the eyes.  I personally did not use this and I think it can go to someone else who would be happier and put this palette to good use. 

 Starlooks lip pencil in "bare" $12
This pencil glides on very easily. The color is a very natural lip color, but does need to be re-applied thru ought the day.

 Chella Highlighting Pencil in Ivory Lace $18
This pencil os beautiful and glides on so smoothly. I have been using this daily and wish I would have known about this before. 
Jcat Eyelashes in "EL47" $3.99
I am not an eyelash wearer, but I definitely want to be. These lashes just look perfect. Since I am not a pro at application I want to save this for a special occasion which is when I usually wear falsies :)
These just look just dramatic enough, but not so fake to where someone looks and says "eww too much"

Overall the June Ipsy bag is just as wonderful as many others. I would definitely recommend if you are looking in to joining a Beauty Subscription then I would suggest Ipsy. To join click HERE. The bag is only $10 per month. 
This month the total value amount of the bag was OVER $43.00
I say a FANTASTIC VALUE!
Good luck and I hope you enjoy you day/night

Ipsy May edition plus the Special UD Moondust (bag worth over $70)



This is the best bag so far this year from IPSY! 5 AMAZING products including a special extra from Urban Decay.
This bag is worth over $70

The first thing pulled out of my package was the Urban Decay Moondust in ZODIAC. You can see it is a glittery emerald green. 
1.5gm $20


Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss in Pink
This has the perfect consistency very soft, smooth and not sticky. The color seems dark, but is just enough color to make me happy without thinking I am in the winter season again.   I am loving this gloss.
One size $15

Zoya polish in BLU
This is a very light spring-like color that is almost a mix between a light blue and lavender. Zoya is a brand that I enjoy using. It lasts longer than drugstore polishes.
$8

Yaby concealer Flawless refill
This is a light covering concealer. This will be used up quickly since it is so small. This will be a nice addition to my Rx Palette that we got a little while ago from Ipsy 
$5.06

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment
I have been a long time user of this Healing oil treatment. It is perfect to use right after the shower. It leaves my hair healthy and shiny. It is easier to comb thru and keep my hair from sticking out like I got struck by lightning.
1oz $13.50

Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume /roll-on
This scent is so delicious smelling. Vanilla so true and you just want to apply it and leave your wrist at your nose. Sweet and yummy.
0.33oz $12


Bag worth $73.50
Excellent for a $10 monthly subscription.

April Ipsy






The obvious Theme is Pink
This is telling us to say goodbye to Winter, and Hello to Spring.

The 1st item is a Full Sized nail polish from Sation. It is a beautiful light baby pink. This color just screams out Spring, a couple of coats and let Spring begin. I really love the name as well "Of Corset I'll Call You"
Full size .50fl oz = $5

Another full sized item is this bold pink called "Sweet Cheeks" from be a bombshell. It is very pigmented and has a noticeable shimmer when swatched. When you apply it with your brush it has a perfectly pinched glow to your cheeks. I think this will be a frequently grabbed item for me. 
Full size = $16

From MICA Beauty is a incredible shimmery loose pigment in "#72 earth". I personally love to wear shimmery shadows and I think it is that perfect shade to make anyone's eyes pop. It is  a neutral pink tone. A little of this shadow goes a long way. This is a deluxe sized sample 2G. There are 16 shimmery shades of "Earth" to choose from. 
Full sized is 2.5G = $16.

Lastly is a .07 oz deluxe sample of "POWDER PLAY" from big sexy hair. This is a volumizing and texturizing powder you apply to the roots of your dry hair. You can use dust it into your hands first or apply it straight to the root area and rub into your scalp to give lift and volume. The texture is very soft and they look like miniature fibers. The strangest thing about it is, it has a cooling sensation when you feel it. It does work for me. 
Full size is .53 oz = $15.95

Overall I really enjoyed this months bag and will use all the items. The approximate value of the entire bag is $38. Considering the bag is $10 per month this is a beautiful bargain.

March Ipsy Bag

















The Glam Rx Mini Freestyle Palette is pretty great. I think the size is fantastic and the magnetic closure is pretty strong and I don't think it will fail me anytime soon. I like that I can add whatever I want to it and I do not have to have a palette that is pre-made. The GlamRx from the site comes with a top layer that has a concealer, lip product and black eye liner for $16.50. 


The next two items are eyeshadows from Yaby. The darker one is in Azealea petal and the lighter on is in seashell. The color payoff is pretty beautiful. The azealea petal is a lot darker than in the photo and I have been using it as the deeper shade in my crease. The only gripe I have is that they are really tiny. The good thing is that you can purchase yaby eyeshadow refills for about $3.29 each which is amazing. choose the colors you want for your GlamRx Palette. 


juice Beauty Hydrating mist is something I am really loving. Normally Juice Beauty products have a very medicinal smell to them in my opinion. This for a change does not. It is refreshing but reminds me of Summer or the beach since it has a similar smell to skin so soft. Be very careful with the spray since it is pretty strong. It should be a misting spray, but it is a spray for sure! Hold it a good distance from you face. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Full size 6.75ml $22 


La Fresh Travel Lite makeup Removing wipes. I did not open this yet since I have a large bag of another brand open at the moment, but as soon as they are done I plan on using these next. I have tried LaFresh in the past and have very much enjoyed their products. The nail polish removing pads are so so so good! One pad takes of almost all the polish for about all my nails. Two will do all my fingers and toes. That's impressive. I have high hopes for the wipes. These are a great deal at $1.49 for 8 wipes. Perfect for vacation one for every night with extras left.

December Ipsy





I loved this bag and every bag over the past couple months! Ipsy has been nothing, but amazing beauty items which is why I subscribed to them 1 year ago when it was MyGlam. This has to be my very close to favorite subscription service I have. If you are interested in signing up for Ipsy click HERE

MAI COUTURE highlighting papier
This is a almost tissue like paper with pigment right on it. You can tear it out and rub it onto your upper cheekbones, cupids bow or anywhere you would like to have highlighted or glowing. The color was great and pale and shimmery. I have tries MAI COUTURE blotting papiers and the foundation papiers in the past as well

Urban Decay 24/7 glide on pencil in ZERO
The perfect deep dark black eyeliner. Makes my eyes stand out and very bold.

NYX ultra pearl mania pigment in
The pigment is right on and bold as expected, It looks like a dark green color, but comes off brown when applied. My only gripe about it is it not being easy to use because of the packaging. It is not user friendly. The opening is very tiny and seems like a lot of waste if you need to pour it out to use it. it would be much better if the opening was bigger where you could tap the end of your brush in the pigment without having to be super creative on not spilling it. 

Mirabella Face and Eye Primer
The consistency is a bit runny and oily from what I am use to. Works like it should. Always use a primer before foundation and eye makeup. It's a must for an all day makeup application.

Be a Bombshell lip gloss in HOT MESS
A super bright and very glossy. Not too sticky which it always a plus.

Lastly my bag extra which is the NEW Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm.
It has a medicinal/ minty smell to it. I had high hopes for this, but it does not have good coverage, but I should have expected that from the Beauty Balm. I can say it did even out my skin tone and had a really beautiful satiny finish, but did not hide any of my flaws. I began using this under my foundation. If the Naked Skin foundation is anything like this with full coverage I think it would be a great product for me. I have lots of hyper pigmentation all over my face and need quite a bit of coverage just to make my face appear even. 

This was a great beauty bag!
