IPSY -- Street Style -- September Glam Bag

SO EXCITE. This is my first IPSY Glam bag, and I loved it! It's like they read my mind on what I wanted... Or looked at the personality survey I had to take. Haha.
If you're not familiar with IPSY. They are a $10 monthly beauty subscription company. I believe when you buy 6 months or 1 year subscription you get a discount. Its a fun little treat in the mail. You get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Check it out here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/1dhhh?sid=ipsypoints&cid=email
 


Nourish Organic Face Cleanser - Cucumber and Watercress - $2?
Just in time too! I ran out of ALL my face cleansers and masks. THE HORROR. Then this little gem showed up to save the day. I can't wait to try it out. Since I have dry skin, I'm glad to see it's moisturizing. It does smell like an... earthy kitchen. Herbal and fresh linen. If that makes an sense. Haha.

Be a Bombshell - Smooth Criminal Powder - $12
Oooooh. Silica finishing powder. I've hear mixed reviews about this brand, so I'm excited and reluctant to try it. Right now I'm still using my Tarte finishing powder and I don't want to use both powders at once. I'm glad I have this as a back up.  
 
Briogeo Deep Conditioning Mask - Don't Despair, Repair! - $5?
I love these! I am always dying my hair. Plus, the usual hot tools and unruly frizzy curly hair. This hair masks gives me an over-idealized unobtainable Photoshopped supermodel look and feeling.

Maybelline Master Glaze Blush - Make a Mauve - $9
Also, PERFECT TIMING. Few days earlier I was complaining about how I ran out of blush. And this baby found me. I've never used a stick before. But I learned real quick... A little goes a LOOOONG way. The color was great on my skintone and also made my eye color pop a bit more. 

Pacifica Nail Color - Red Red Wine - $9
This is my absolute favorite item from the whole bag. It's 100% Vegan and Cruelty-free. The color is GORGEOUS. You wouldn't believe the amount of compliments I got from it. It's classy, rebellious, edgy, sassy, and its perfect for fall. Though, I'm sure its perfect all year long.  

Total- $37 for $10 a month!  

Overall

Beauty Talk Time:
I LOVED THIS BAG. It was meant to be. There wasn't any filler lotions or perfumes, that I would never ever ever use. These are things I would use everyday. And THE BAG C: It screams Lily! Love the sassy silver and studs. Alright IPSY, you set the bar high, I cant wait for Octobers bag. 

Influenster -- DLVoxBox

This month had been one of those months. I was so happy to see this in my mailbox. A wonderful surprise! I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. #DLVoxBox
Chunky little box. Filled to the rim. How I love thee. 
Here are the items I received...
Playtex Sport Fresh Balance 16ct  
You can never have too many of these. And it saves me going to the store and getting more of these. Win-win. The only thing I don't like about these is that there is a scent to them. I already have a VERY sensitive body. Add in the scent and I feel even more nauseous when its that time

Luden's Watermelon Cough Drops
These are basically watermelon hard candies. There is no menthol or medicinal taste in it. Didn't numb my throat... I thought that was the one job cough drops were supposed to do? Just save your money and buy REAL cough drops, or candy. 

Kiss Lashes in Looks So Natural
I love these. Very light weight and beautiful. I have been in need of new eyelashes. These will be great for Halloween this year. Right in between sassy sex appeal, and the beautiful "I woke up this way" natural look.

Sinful Colors in No Text Red
The color is great. A nice classic brilliant red. Though it chips VERY easily. I'm on day 2 wearing it, and I have major touch ups to do. This is good for when you only want to wear a certain color for a small amount of time, to events and such. Like, since I'm going to be R2D2 for Halloween, I am considering buying the blue color polish JUST for Halloween. Lets be real, how often will I wear blue? Never. So for $2, its not so bad.

Air Head Bites
I LOVE fruit flavored candy. Especially when I study. I grew up with Air Head original, so I was excited to try these new Air Heads out. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. It was hard and grainy. I was expecting XL Skittles. But no. The flavor wasn't my cup of tea. Stick with Starbursts. 

Soft Lips Cube
I am a chapstick hoarder. I have a whole drawer full. I do have sever chapped lips, especially during season changes. Which is happening now. Perfect timing! I love the packaging. It's cute and unique. But just like the other types of Soft Lips, it didn't find the moisturizing quality last very long. I have to keep reapplying. The smell is subtle and nice. I think the most awkward part is applying it. Haha. 

2 FriXion Pens
Love these pens. and THEY DO ERASE. If you're a student and you have pain-in-the-ass-teachers who make you write in only pen, then I highly suggest these for you. Especially, if you hate scribbles all over your paper from errors. These are my new best friends.

Overall:  


Beauty Talk Time:
 This was a fun and unexpected box. I am so happy to get this. Trying new things is always exciting. These things are hard to review because everyone is SO DIFFERENT. I can't say something is terrible when I know my body isn't like everyone else. I wish we could get items that match our personality or beauty types.

Thank you Influenster #DLVoxBox
