ISPY -- Beautifully Bohemian -- April Glam Bag

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

 Theorie - Argan Oil Ultimate Reform Hair Serum  - $6?

I am so excited to receive this product. It does smell very earthy, like Whole Foods. Some people find that to be very unpleasant, but it's some what nice especially during the summer. I love the glass bottle, it's very classy, but how the hell do you get the product out? I will have to take out the plastic insert somehow. I like it but I wish the product was easier to use.

Essence Cosmetics - Lash Princess Mascara - $4.99

I love trying new mascaras. When I saw this full-sized product in my bag I was completely stoked. I have never heard of this brand before. Can we take and moment and look at it's packaging? It is crazy adorable and sassy. I love the black and pink. I love the corset look it has. I love this. The wand and formula is spectacular. This could be a prestige brand mascara but for drugstore prices. This is a must have!

Jor'el Parker - Femina Roll-on Perfume - $21
This isn't what I usually wear, but it is fun to try something new. It is very light. Like a simple clean flower, with a tidbit of musk and vanilla. I really enjoy it. I will definitely wear this on lunch dates. Good for my purse or art locker. It doesn't last as long as I would like, but its nice none the less.  

Starlooks - Satin Finish Lip Gloss in Cuddle - $9

It's a basic lip gloss in a cute mauve-nude color. Perfect for purses and traveling. It was too sticky for my taste. The color is nice, added some mauve to my lips making my lips look more pronounced and sassy. I have not seen this much glitter/shimmer in a lip gloss since the 90's. I'll probably end up mixing this with another lip gloss to make it less sticky.

theBALM Cosmetics - NUDE Dude Eyeshadow in Fit - $3?

I already love this brands eye makeup remover. It is one of the few brands that my sensitive eyes and skin can handle. I was so excited when I saw this.The packaging is completely cute and sexy. Who doesn't love to see a nude guy in the morning when you do your makeup? Haha. The color is a high pigmented shimmer copper. I love this so much. It felt as if it was meant for me!

Beauty Talk Time:
THANK YOU IPSY for listening to me! I remember I hated last month, and this month you blew me out of the water! You gave me a kick ass bag. With products across the board. I love the Bohemian theme. Perfect for summer by the beach. (Which is where I live!) My expectations have been met and reached an all-time high. These are all products that I will use almost daily. SO EXCITE.

ISPY -- Jetsetter --May Glam Bag

It's time for the best part of the month! Also, Happy Pride month! I went to the Pride Parade near me and I had a blast! I cannot wait until next year. c:

 BelláPierre Cosmetics - Waterproof Mineral Gel Eyeliner Pencil in Ebony - $14.99

This is a very interesting product, because it is a pencil but also a gel eyeliner in one. I was very curious on how this would work. It glides on so smoothly, it was like butter. It has very high pigmentation, which is great for a black eyeliner.

Klorane - Smoothing and Relaxing [Eye] Patches - $6

Lordy, 90% of the writing on the packaging is in French. It was frustrating to try to find the title and directions of these eye patches. I was able to receive 2 sets of 2 patches. I am excited to try this. I always struggle with dark under eyes, especially with staying up late with school. I really enjoyed them.

Urban Decay - 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + Bonus NEW Revolution High Color Lip Gloss Samples in Failbait and Bittersweet- $6?
I have always loved Urban Decay. I use their products every day and they never fail. On point 24/7. I would have loved to see this new Lip Primer made thicker so I can cover my lips quicker instead of it being an eyeliner size; I see the full size one is thicker online. The packaging needs to say primer on it. I only knew it was a primer when I looked it up online. The sample lip glosses are sassy! I don't see when I would ever use Bittersweet purple, but it is fun to experiment and try it. I love the pink color Failbait. It is my color.

Bare Republic Naturals - SPF 30 Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion - $3?

I love how this is chemical-free and made with natural minerals. No chemical actives, no synthetic fragrances, and no parabens. Finally a sunscreen that sounds safe to put all over my skin. It was perfect timing to get this product too! I used it when I was outside watching the Pride Parade. My shoulders got sunburnt, luckily my face didn't. I would have liked a bit more product; The directions say you need to re-apply it every 40 minutes or so. If I am re-applying that much, then I need more to actually try the product out. (40 minutes max water resistance, yikes) Then you need a good amount to spread it. IPSY says we were supposed to get .5oz and I got .34oz! :( 

Pixi by Petra - Beauty Bronzer in Summertime - $10?

I wish this bronzer came with the Kabuki brush like it does on Pixi's website. I am a very very pale girl. My family jokes that I have whiter skin than a whiteboard. I don't understand why IPSY would send me the darkest color of bronzer Pixi has. I will use it very lightly for when I go out, but I wish I had received a lighter color. I am not a fan of the packaging. The twist lid does not swivel smoothy, it's obviously cheap and takes a few times to get close properly. I do like how it is a light shimmer, without using glitter.

Beauty Talk Time:

This month wasn't as good as last month. Probably my fault, because I forgot to review last months bag until today. Haha. I still loved the bag. I felt spoiled again. I loved getting Urban Decay and the mineral face sunscreen. I wish IPSY would know to not give me Pixi products. I really don't like them. Also, this bag is amazing!

IPSY -- Floral Fantasy -- March Glam Bag

My seventh IPSY beauty bag. Can you feel the excitement?

 pūr-lisse - pūr-delicate gentle soy milk cleanser and make up remover  - $6.50?

I have very very very sensitive skin. I am really excited to try this out. I also have an intense sensitivity to make up removers. I have tried many different make up removers made for sensitivity, but have burned my eyes. Like, Clinique, Sephora, Mary Kay, Ect. Being that this is made of really good ingredients and for sensitive skin, I have really high hopes for it.  Not only that, it smells amazing: a clean white flower, bit of citrus and a hint of lavender. I wonder how this product will work, with it be sensitive enough to clean the skin and strong enough to remove my make up. I wear Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner and it's hard to get off.

NYX Cosmetics - Butter Lipstick in POPS - $6

NYX is my bae. They are similar to a prestige make up, but for the drug store price. I love them. I own their BB Cream, many eye shadows, and several lippies. Their products last all day. Even after along day of work; even during 100+ degree concert season. When I fist saw this, I thought "Woah, that's brown and mauv-ie", but after applying it, it's perfect. It is a wonderful nude color. Made my skin look like it has a small glow and whiter teeth. I will bring this lipstick with me everywhere.

MARSK - Mineral Eye Shadow in Fifty Shades - $22.50
I am not a fan of loose powder eye shadows. I can't seem to control it and it ends up everywhere. The color is very nice. It is a charcoal-gray-black (like a soft black) and semi-pigmented. This will be nice for a smokey eye look. But it being a loose powder, It won't be my first choice of a black. That is totally subjective; personally, I feel "eh" about this product. Maybe if it came with a brush or a color more suited to my skin tone, I would have liked it much more.

Boo-Boo Cover-Up - Medium Shade Concealer - $10

A few IPSY bags ago I got the IT Cosmetics Concealer. It is magic in a bottle. I swear by it, and now my friends and family use and love it. Getting this concealer was not the same reaction. When applied it was very thin. I had to do several layers to try to get at a somewhat pleasing look. IT set the bar for concealers. Not saying that this concealer is terrible. It is a good one. But I have already found my ultimate favorite concealer, and the bar has been set very high. This is a good concealer for quick get ready's and a lighter natural look. It also has a healing agent to help rid of the acne you maybe hiding. Its a win-win.

St. Ives - Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub - $1?

Really IPSY? I'm very disappointed in you. This isn't new. This isn't experimenting. This is giving me a cheap Walmart face scrub. These scrubs are horribly bad for your skin. They strip my skin, leaving it dry and more acne prone. The "scrub" part of this product literally scratches your skin, and can cause wider pores with scarring. There are so many other scrubs to give a person. I can't even.

Beauty Talk Time:
Not every bag is perfect. My last three bags or so, have been ideal. But this one was barely ok. While I love NYX and I am excited to try pūr-lisse; the rest of the bag is not my cup of tea. Not saying I won't use it, but I will use other products before I consider them. I love IPSY, I feel so bad to give it a low rating. I keep re-evaluating the bag, but my reaction stays the same. 

Also, the bag this month... not cute. It reminds of old motel art, the upholstery of an old doctors office chairs, or design from a shirt a grandma would wear in Florida. I don't like it. With today's trends, I thought the women in IPSY would chose something... else. 

Oh well; there is always next month. 

ISPY -- #ipsyLOVE -- February Glam Bag

My sixth IPSY beauty bag. Oh no! 6 out of 12. This wonderful subscription is going too fast!

GLAMGLOW - 2 BRIGHTMUD Eye Treatments - $11.70

3 minute treatment. For Men and women, and all skin types. For dark circles, brightening, line, tired eyes, puffiness, hydrating, and plumping. Sounds really interesting, I can't wait to use it. and I LOVE the packaging. It's so spunky and fun. 
EDIT: I finally have tried it. Warning, it looks horrible, it doesn't smell nice, and there is this burning tingling feeling when you leave it on for the time allotted. I don't know how to rate the irritation of it on a scale; I have a higher pain threshold. I know people people don't like these aspects when looking for a treatment. But if I was a millionaire, I would buy this. My dark circles are instantly gone. My eyes seem brighter and better. I don't know how to explain it.

ModelCo - BLUSH Cheek Powder in Peach Bellini - $11?

I found a better picture of the color I received on their website. (shown above). Perfect timing! I've been needing a more spring time and peachy-pink blush. I love this color. Its soft and a light pink. Great for my skin tone.  ALSO: Very high pigmented. A little goes a very very very very long way.

City Color Cosmetics - Creamy Lip Stain in Flirtini - $4.99
When I opened my IPSY bag, It was really late at night, after a horrific online exam and long day at school. I was fried to the max. I was so excited to see a lip gloss, I couldn't wait and I had to apply it that very second. The color was on point. Minutes later I passed out in bed. Waking up the next day, I was wondering why my lips were to dry. Getting up brushing my hair, I look into the mirror. EEP, The horror! Why are my lips so red?! Then It hit me. It was the lip gloss, weird. Taking a closer second glace, it's a LIP STAIN. Oh man, I'm never trying something new so late at night. I completely forgot to put on any lip balm, so the stain dried my lips out to the max. I am still trying to get them back to full health. But this taught me something...(TL;DR) This lip stain works. If it can stay on my lips all night with my drooling, tossing and turning, and dog kisses, then this is the gloss I want where ever I go. Remember: condition your lips before and after. The chapped-ness not fun.

China Glaze - Nail Polish in Marry a Millionaire - $6.99

WOO. IPSY really stepped up their game. They usually send an off-brand nail polish, but this... EVEN BETTER. Ah, I am so excited! Pictures of this polish give it no justice. It is so vibrant and vivid. I love it. Perfect for spring time. Makes me feel like I have mermaid nails. I only used one coat of glitter. It is almost opaque with glitter, which is rare in a glitter nail polish. I am using Essie in Barefoot in Blue as my nail color (which I won in one of their facebook promotions a year ago c: ) then the China Glaze. 

Luxie Beauty - Large Angled Face Brush 504 - $16

This brush is awesome. Not only is it pink, but I have been needing an angled brush. Spring and summer are here, and it's time for the contouring to begin. the bristles feel like bunny butts on my face. Bad imagery, I know. The softness and blend-ability is great. Thank you IPSY for this brush.

Beauty Talk Time:
IPSY, how I love thee. This bag was perfect, for me anyway. You have no idea how happy I was to not get any lotion. So happy. Of course now my mom will be sad; I send her my lotions. c: Not to mention that bag is completely adorable and chic. I love the pattern on it. 
There are day, where I wish I was a millionaire. So I can send these bags/subscriptions to every lady in need. It's nice to get pampered and treated. Especially when you can't afford it, because you're paying for rent, bills, or everything their kids need. Ladies who put other needs in front of themselves deserve to look their best, because they the best.  Someday, maybe. c: /rant
I think I will start doing "looks" with items in the bag. So everyone can know what the colors actually look like. You can never trust a bottle. Never ever.

(MALIN+GOETZ) - Mojito Lip Balm - $8?

I have never heard of this brand... and I LOVE IT. I have dry and sensitive lips and this was absolutely amazing. No over powering smell, or crazy coloring. Basic and to the point. It does what it needs to do. I love the slight taste/smell of mojito. I can't rave about this enough. I need more!

Hikari Cosmetics - Mechanical Eyeliner in Storm - $13

I always love getting an eyeliner. I use them like crazy. Though, I prefer liquid eyeliners, they last much much much longer. This mechanical eyeliner isn't too bad. The twist function on mine is loose, and I am afraid it will break soon. Let's hope that doesn't happen. The color is nice. Looks like a sleek sliver, but applied it is a dark gray. The metallic color fades pretty quickly. I feel like If I wore this all day, I would look like a hot mess real quick. Ill use this for a smokey eye look, or for my waterline/under eye area.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics - Sheer Glo - $7?

This will be great for when I go out on the town or a date. Its a perfect amount of glow. It is really illuminating. Really bringing life in my cheeks and eyes. It is very subtle! You will not end up looking like a fairy. I haven't tried something like this before... making this new and exciting to me. I noticed on their website they they have this in inexpensive kits with some of their other products. Perfect time to try if for yourself! I do have a complaint about their website, it is so weird to use, a bit difficult to find this product and its image was completely pixelated. C'mon step your game up.

La Fresh Eco-Beauty - Be Good. Day Moisturizer - $12

I loved this! Its perfect. You know me and my crazy dry and sensitive skin. Well this makes my skin feel soooo soft. Its amazing. It has even cleared up my skin. It does have a earthy, cucumber, and aloe scent. The smell disappears after it dries. just hold your breath when applying. Totally worth it. Haha. I think if they made this with Eucalyptus, it would have a nice tingly and cooling feeling. Yes please!

Pacifica - Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow in Treasure - $5.50?

You cannot buy this shade individually. To get it you have to buy a kit or full pallet. It is a nice bronze color. Could be a nice base coat or to blend creases with. It's a basic color. I think I have this shade in all my Urban Decay pallets. It's  a fine color. Good for a natural look.

This bag was great. I felt that IPSY finally listened to what I wanted. I've been needing a good face moisturizer and lip balm, and BAM, IPSY gives me the best ones. The eyeliner is nice to soften a look up. The Pacifica eyeshadow and Manna glo is good for a quick natural look. Perfect with school coming up next week. The bag was alright. Not one of my favs, but everything in it was pretty good. Getting this bag ever month has been so much fun. Like Christmas every month.

Coolway - Boost Repair Treatment - $3.80?

I have never heard of this brand. Though, I haven't been to ULTA or Sephora in a long time. Basically, it provides a powerful boost of ionized amino acids and botanical extracts to eliminate damage caused by harsh chemicals and high heat tools. Infuses moisture. Unique blend of Silk Protein and Botanical extracts for smooth frizz-free hair. Which I ALWAYS need. My hair can get pretty cray. I will use this next time I was my hair.

Crown Brush - Infinity Shadow/ Crease Duet - $6.99

Honestly, I am not a fan of dual ended brushes. One end always gets damaged. Either one end gets smooshed when you put it in a make up bag when you travel. And you can't put this in your typical make up brush jar. So I don't know where to put this, while remembering that I have it. But it is very very nice. The bristles are smooth and glorious. So far no stray stands land on my face. I think you buy these as one ended, they would be very worth it.

Pixi by Petra - Fairy Dust in Brightening Bare - $10

I was really excited to finally get an eyeshadow in an IPSy bag. But, I was very disappointed. The color makes a fine base coat, but I had to layer/pat it on to make it visible. You could barely tell I had anything on my eyes. And then then applicator. I can't even. How does one use it? (The picture is above) The eyeshadow was clumpy on the applicator. I used the applicator straight on my eyes and eyeshadow landed all over my cheeks, clothes, and sink; and it didn't blend out on my whole eye. It was like a stripe on my eye lid. So I tried a brush to the applicator, and it was just as bad. Eyeshadow everywhere! Its the terrible packaging that makes it get everywhere. I think I will, somehow, transfer the eyeshadow to an empty small pot and see how everything goes then. But for now, I'm still too frustrated and don't want to see it ever again.

I loved this! Its perfect. I am always whine about having chapped lips, and how I always forget to put color on them. Now, no more whining. I love this. My lips are very sensitive, and this is perfect. Doesn't dry my lips and keeps them hydrated. The color is also pretty pigmented and fits my skin-tone perfectly.

Beauty Talk Time:
This bag had it's ups and downs. Sometimes I wish IPSY would let you choose the samples you want. I think there is a beauty box subscription out there that lets you do that... I'll have to look into that. Anyway, This bag was good. IPSY is getting better at giving me things that I will actually use and want. I think the only con about this bag was the frustrating Pixi eyeshadow. I loved everything else in the bag.

SeaRx - Birch Sap Moisturizing Lotion - $4?

Yet ANOTHER lotion. IPSY, I'm pretty sure I posted that I didn't want lotion. It is what it is. I'll give this to my mama too. She will love it. C:

IT Cosmetics - Bye Bye Under Eye in Neutral Medium - $10?

This is a perfectly thick and heavily pigmented concealer. It basically erases my dark under eye and blemishes. I love it to death. I will only buy this concealer in the future. So FAB.
  

J. Cat Beauty - Wonder Lip Paint in Mad Splatter - $4.99

IPSY finally got me the right color. It was perfect for my skin tone and intense pigmentation. C: The thing is, it takes a lot of upkeep though out the day to keep it sassy. After two to three hours to had to re-apply it. ALSO, why didn't this come with a lip brush?! This was made to be applied by a lip brush. It's like someone forgetting an eyeshadow brush in a eye pallet. C'mon. :l

Marc Anthony - Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray - $2.99
This was a good hairspray. Smells wonderful. The Argan oil gives my hair awesome shine and flexibility. I rarely use hairspray, so this will be a perfect amount for when I need to do fancy hair. Like for my birthday, which is next month. C: Perfect timing.

Starlooks - Gem Eye Pencil in Ultra Olive - $17

This is a FAB color. A gold olive highly pigmented shimmer glitter fest. Since I have a slight olive skin tone, so this looks amazing. I will wear this all day, every day. It's super soft and smooth. No wonder it's so expensive. C:

I love this bag. It is a Forever21 glitter cosmetic bag. It's amazing; Classy and fancy. And I LOVE everything inside of the bag.

Can't wait for Decembers Glam Bag.

My second IPSY beauty bag. C:  I was hoping more of a Halloween vibe, but this was still fun and exciting.

Cirque Colors Nail Laquer - XX - $6.50?

I think the was the most fun and artsy item in the beauty bag. It's a fun rainbow confetti with apparently 20 different type of holographic glitter! Though with all the different types, I felt it should have been a bit more dense? Like, More glitter per... brush stroke? It seemed to take several layers to finally get the look I wanted. THEN it was HORRIFIC to remove it. I never want to use it again, until there is a magical way to remove it. I heard you can use glue?

Épicé International - Purifying Exfoliant - $4.99

This exfoliant was great for my sensitive skin. Gentle and simple. My skin reacts to everything. This was great. My skin felt wonderful. I have never heard of this product before, so it was nice to try something new.
  

Noyah Lipstick - Deeply in Mauve - $6

I received lipstick was it was only alright. It is a semi-matte lipstick. I was hoping for a more mauve color, but it was like a odd-brown-purple-mix. Yet, It doesn't look like that in the photo. :l I love mauve, but I don't think I will wear this color ever again. It was brown. on the plus side they don't do animal testing while making these products.

Figs & Rouge Shea Butter Hand Cream - Rose Berry - $6.37

Apparently this was a limited edition hand cream. If you're into rose scents, then this is for you. It was a very strong rose fragrance. Not my cup of tea. I'll end up giving it to my mama. She loves to lotion, lotion, lotion.

Skone Cosmetics - Tattooed Waterproof Eyeliner - $15?

I will definitely use this! You can never have too much eyeliner. The more the merrier! C: It stays on for a long time and is very dark. Its very similar to the Kat Von D eyeliner, but not as great. But a CLOSE SECOND! Prefect for my usual sexy cat eye look.

Total- $38.86 for $10 a month!

Beauty Talk Time:
This bag was fine. Not as exciting as I was hoping for. They over-hyped the bag being a fun Candy Bag. I was thinking there would be bright pastels and super fun spunky items. I like the color of the blue bag, but I don't like the grid texture. And I'm not a fan of where the zipper is. It's hard to get items in and out of the bag. Eh, I don't use lotions that much, the lipstick was the wrong color, and the nail polish refuses to come off my nails... It wasn't the worst bag. Let's hope November is better. 

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!

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.
