May's Ipsy Glambag

It's that time again May's Ipsy bag is here. I'm very excited about this bag because there are two products I have never used before. That is what makes Ipsy fun is to discover new things. Don't get me wrong I love a new color shadow or lip gloss but if I can find something that I can't live without I think it great.

As most of you know Ipsy is a monthly subscription bag with 4 - 5 deluxe sample or full size beauty products delivered straight to your door for only $10.00 per month. They all have a theme and come with a coordinating makeup bag. Most of the bags are super cute. I can honestly say even if I hate EVERYTHING in a bag one month (that's highly unlikely) I wouldn't cancel.  I just know if I did cancel the next bag would be the most amazing one I ever saw.  Lately there have been so many variations between bags I wouldn't mind getting two Ipsy bags but I would be afraid of duplicates so I haven't done it yet.

This month's theme is Fresh Picks - So what is in my May Glambag? Lets see:

The first thing is a deluxe size sample Hang Ten Classic Sport SPF 50 while admittedly there is nothing fun or exciting about SPF it is a necessity so I'm happy to try a new brand. It has a light scent and goes on smooth. I will be using it soon because we spends tons of time outdoors during the spring/summer months.  Full size sells for $12.99.

The next thing is a deluxe size sample Pacifica Mineral Shadow duo #2 which is a shiny white and a deep purple matte shadow. I received Pacifica perfume a while back but did not know they had eyeshadows. I always like to try new shadows and these colors look interesting, a little out of my comfort zone with the white. But I'm excited to try this. Full size quad sells for $14.00

The next thing I'm ridiculously excited about trying a 1.75 oz size bottle Avene Thermal Spring Water. I know I probably shouldn't be this excited because like a post on Instagram said "it's water" but I have never even heard of cosmetic water before so this is completely new. I imagine it will be a refreshing spritz for after a workout or like it says after a shave to prevent razor burn. So I can't wait to give this a try. Full size sells for $18.00 -- I can imagine more like hope it's more than water.

The next thing is a .5 oz size bottle of NO Frizz Organic Sesame and Lemon Grass Balancing oil. I"m a little on the fence about this one but I'll try anything once. I do have frizzy hair so it's not like I wouldn't benefit from it. Plus I have grown fond of using oils in my hair so you never know I may love this one. Full size 1 oz sells for $25.00

The last thing is probably the thing I am most excited to try a .34 oz tube of BooBoo Cover a concealer with healing benefits.  How cool is that? I hate my scars and fresh wounds or even acne showing so if this help heal and conceal, that's amazing. This is also a product I have never heard of so it's something new. Full size sells for $19.99

So I think this month's glambag is hit. What do you think? What did you get that you are excited to try? If you are not an Ipsy member and want to join, please use my link!

March's Glambag from Ipsy

So I got my Ipsy Glambag early this month and I wanted to share it with you. I can say I don't think I have been so excited about a glambag in quite a while. I know people are upset that there is only 4 items but I like/love and will use 3 out of the 4 so I think that's great.

Not to mention one of the items I like sells for $16.00 so if I would have purchased it I would have spent more than I did on my bag. So enough rambling, let me show you what I'm so excited about.

The first thing I SUPER excited about is the Vita Liberata Luxury Tan 2 - 3 week tan lotion in medium .I have never used a tan lotion but have been shopping for one. I was going to get one with my Sephora gift cards but didn't want to waste my money if I wouldn't like it.  Now I get to try one thanks to Ispy, It's a decent size sample that will probably be enough for 2 - 3 applications.  Full size sells for $37.50

The next thing I got is a deluxe size sample of Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie lipstick in get ready. And guess what!! It's a mauve/pink color that I love and will wear. I don't care if it is a sample, I can't remember the last time I used a full tube of lipstick before it expired. Full size sells for $18.00 and there are lots of other colors to choose from. Second winner in my glambag!

The third thing I got is a full size BeABombshell eye shadow quad in Bora Bora I LOVE three of the colors (I'm a little skeptical of the teal) and will wear them. The other are neutral colors with a slight shine. Don't get me wrong the teal is gorgeous and if I can make it look, right I will wear that color too. Love Be A Bombshell from previous Ipsy bags, love the colors. Another winner! Sells for $16.00 so by itself my Ipsy bag was worth it. I just happen to have 2 other things I'm super excited about.

The last thing I'm so crazy about the color but the product appears very nice.  Its' a Chella eyeliner pen BUT it is Bleu Indigo. The point is great I swatched it, provides perfect drawing precision and dries in seconds. I'm not sure what I'm missing but I have not got into the blue eyeliner craze. So I'm not so pleased with this. It will go in my swap/giveaway bag so maybe soon you'll have a chance to win it. If you have something you want to swap with me for it, let me know.  This sells for $24.00

This month I also think the bags is REALLY pretty so I will probably hold on to this one. Without figuring the total I want to say Well done Ipsy! This is one bag I'm very happy about and can't wait to dig in and start using the products. So what are they worth all together? So had I purchased all four products it would have cost me a whooping $95.50! Not bad for $10/m with no shipping right?!?

February Ipsy glambag

It's that time again my Ipsy glambag is here. I wanted to share it with ya'll. I will admit when I saw my glam room I was upset but I'm not upset anymore. I'm actually pretty happy with my bag. So let's see what's in it

A full size bottle of Zoya polish in Dot which is a very light pastel pink. Truthfully I don't think I will wear it. I'm more of  a dark or bright girl so this is not for me. I will possibly use it for decorating or I will pass it along. A full size bottle polish sells for $9.00.


A Skyn Iceland Fresh Start Clay mask Step 1 and Step 2 A weekly detoxing, anti-dulling, anti-aging ritual. I'm very excited to try this I loved the last Skyn Iceland product I got in one of my Ipsy bags.  A box of six masks sells for $39.00

A set of JCats false lashes and glue - not super excited about these. I don't do falsies often and I can't apply them very well but I will see because these are pretty lashes. They have a thin band and are full but no overly full looking. I will see if I can apply these without incident but no promises. They sell for $3.99

Full size Tini beauty Eyetini in Viollette which is a beautiful color. It's a cream shadow with a lipgloss like applicator and I'm sure you guessed it's a light purple. It goes on very easily and let me say this shadow is tough I swatched it last night and had to scrub it off my hand.  They sell for $18.00 a piece.

The last thing I got is a PopBeauty Plump pout mini in Fushia Freesia I'm not sure if this is the normal size or a mini just for Ipsy because it is a mini.  It is a very nice size lip gloss and the shape is very cute. I really like the color it's a dark pink shade. They sell for $16.00

So all the products in my glambag would cost $85.99 if I purchased them separately but I get to try them all for $10.00. That is a great deal and that is why I love getting my Ipsy bag every month. If you want to sign up for Ipsy please use my link it I get referral points.

Thanks for reading! What did you get in your Ipsy glambag? Leave me a comment and let me know. 

Be A Bombshell - The One Stick

When I first got the Be a Bombshell  The One Stick in my Ipsy Glambag I wasn't very excited. The color I got was Flustered which as you can see appears very bright and red. I couldn't figure out where to wear it, I don't wear red lipstick and red blush, really?  So I put it to the side. One day I decided to try it, and I'm so glad I did.

I used it as a lip gloss/lip stick first it was very light and not bright at all. It just gave a slight color to my lips which was perfect. Since it is matte finish I put lip gloss over it to add shine.  it wasn't gooey or sticky nor did it make me want to wipe it off like some lipsticks I've used.

The next thing I used it as was a blush, I know odd red blush but let me explain. It's not really red when applied. I put a little on my fingers and put a few dots on my cheek then blended. It blended beautifully with very little effort and it was a very pretty shade and stayed on all day. It's not sticky and it didn't flake or peel off.

I really like the one stick I give it two thumbs up and I'm so glad I tried it.They have six other colors and I would probably buy another color. I have tried other Be A Bombshell products and loved them. They are long lasting and wear very well.

For those of you not familiar with Ipsy it's an amazing way to discover new products. You pay $10.00 a month and 4 - 5 full or deluxe sample sized products are delivered to your door. Every month I feel like i'm opening a present. If you want to be an Ipster click here to sign up.

My first Ipsy Glambag of 2014

I've said it before but I'll say it again. Ipsy is a way for me to feel like it's Christmas or my birthday all year long because I get to open a present every month. This is my first bag of 2014 and I wanted to share it with you.

The theme is 19 reasons. This is what I got in mine

A full size Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow in Penny This shadow "pencil" sells for $14.99. I have used Elizabeth Mott products before and liked them so I'm excited to try this. I'm not a huge fan of shadow pencils but I'm willing to try anything.

A deluxe trail size Nourish Organics Light Weight Moisturizing Face Lotion full size sells for $21.99. I have never heard of this brand before so I'm curious to see what it's like. It smells  sort of orangey to me and the consistency is thin but runny.

A deluxe trial size Tahitian Monoi Faith Aromatherapy Anti-Aging sugar scrub full size sells for $17.99. I love a sugar scrub although I have never used on my face. I'm very excited to try this one. If it's like other sugar scrubs I will no doubt love it.

A deluxe trial size Mica Beauty Tinted Lip Balm in #5 Natural which I'm sure you have guess is a pretty neutral is a shade The lip balm sells for $30.00. I have used Mica shadow before and loved it so I'm excited to try this. But I can say I'm overflowing with lip balm! Oh well guess a girl can never have too much.

Last but not least a deluxe sample of Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat leave in conditioner. Full size sell for $17.95. I'm really very meh about this product. My excitement level is way down I don't need any more leave in conditioners I have TONS. Most of them cost a lot less and work very well. I will try this one just because you never know I may love it.  The only thing that may help is it is a spray in. I have used all my spray in conditioners and only have foam left. I have tried other products from Sexy Hair and there was no wow factor to me.

I love at least one thing in my Ipsy bag every month but a lot of times I love more so for $10.00 a month you can't go wrong. They are not all full size but where else can you try $103.00 worth of products for $10.00?

So that's my glambag, what's in yours? Stay tuned for specialized reviews of products I love or don't love so much.

November Ipsy Glambag

It's that time again my Ipsy Glambag is here and I want to share it with you. November is Ipsy's anniversary so from what I understand they go all out for that month.  I was very excited to see previews of the bags and I was sort of meh when I saw my glamroom but over all I'm very happy with my glambag.

The theme of this month is Glam it up and as you can see the bag is a glamorous gold and this month we got six products instead of the usual four/five.

This is what was in my glambag:

Full size Nailtini nail lacquer in Champagne and I literally gasped because it is so beautiful plus it has a metallic shine to it. I love metallic nails polish! It sells for $13.00 so that paid for the bag by itself.

Full size Be a Bombshell lip crayon in Shamless that sells for $14.00. It is a pink/mauve color which suits me much better than the reds I have been getting so I'm so excited.

Full size EM (Michelle Pham) Waterliner in Teal Tease which sells for $20.00. I cannot express how happy I was to see that it was a bold color and not black!!!  I can't wait to try this I have heard such amazing things about them.

Full size Pixi Beauty Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched which sells for $18.00. I have heard good things about Pixi Cosmetics I only tried their mascara but I didn't really like it. I am anxious to see if I like the bronzer, it is a very pretty color.

Full size Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil in Topaz which sells for $14.00. I would rather gel or liquid liner so I have a few other Starlooks pencils that I have not tried.  I'm pretty sure I will try this one because it is not blah, it is a color.

One BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked eyeshadow in Eclipse which is a sample because they only come in pallets. I didn't get a chance to swatch it yet so I'm not sure if it's a blue or a purple but it looks pretty.

That's my November Ipsy glambag. I really don't need to add up the amounts to tell you my bag is worth more than ten dollars but let's see how much it is worth. So without the eye shadow sample all of my products are worth $79.00 and I received all full size products.  I am very pleased with my stuff after opening my bag.

October's Ipsy Glambag - spoiler- It's amazing

It's that time again!! My October Ipsy Glambag is here. For those of you who haven't heard about Ispy before it is a monthly subscription service that delivers 4/5 full or deluxe sample sized products straight to your door for only $10.00 a month. I have not had a glambag disappointment me and this one did not disappoint either.

The theme this month is The Art of Beauty and this is what I got:

A full size Zoya polish in Mason which sells for $8.00 per bottle.I'm sure by now you can tell I love nail polish so this is perfect for me. Plus it's a purple shade......did they read my mind??

A .07 fl oz size of Buxom Full on Lip Polish in Dolly which is beautiful a shade of light pink.  Full size .15 fl oz sells for $19.00. I never heard of this product or this brand. I'm excited to try it. I can never have enough lip gloss either.

A deluxe size 1.7 fl oz sample of  Big Sexy Hair Blow Dry Gel full size sell for around $15.00. I liked the Big Sexy Hair Humidity spray that I got in one of my previous Ipsy bags so I have high expectations for this one!

A .34 fl oz size H2O Plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment, full size sell 1.7 fl oz for around  $36.00.

A deluxe size 2 fl oz Be Delectable Hand cream in Strawberry & Cream full 6 fl oz size sell for $10.00. They also have a full line of products to coordinate scents.

Lets see if I got my money's worth in this bag. If I would have purchased all of these full size products I would have spent a whopping $88.00. That's a huge savings even though they are not all full size. I still feel like I made out pretty good because I get to try all these goodies for only $10.00! I will do specialized reviews on any products I love or hate so stay tuned.

This bag is amazing every month I feel the bag is better than the previous month's glambag. If you want to sign up for Ipsy click here 

September's Ipsy Glambag

So it's that time again.. Ipsy Glambag time. I hope I'm not the only one that feels like a child during Christmas when my Ipsy bag comes in. I can look at every picture on FaceBook or Instragram and never know exactly what bag I'm getting.  I was never good with anticipation but I'm really starting to get into surprises. This month the bag was BEAUTIFUL, I'm totally smitten with it. I hope the pics do it justice. So when I opened it up, this is what I found.

Full size Cailyn Titnted LipBalm in Big Apple sells for $19.00 so I got my money's worth right there. I was a huge fan of the Cailyn eyeliner so I have high expectations for the lip liner.  

Deluxe Size sample of Elizabeth Mott's It's so Big Volumizing Mascara it's a nice size the full size sells for $19.99. I have never heard of this brand but I can never have enough mascaras. I have never figured out why that is because I doubt I really need as many as I have, but it's true. 

Full size NYX  Cosmetics Single Eye shadow in Lanikai sells for $4.50. I'm not sure about the color it is a light blue,we shall see. 

Full size Starlooks  Kohl Pencil in Obsidian which sells for $12.00. From the website the shade looks black. Can't go wrong with black eyeliner. I prefer gel but I'm excited to try this. The lip liner I got in another glam bag was very nice. 

2 sets of Skyn Iceland  Hyrdo Cool Firming Eye Gels they sell for $30.00 for 8 pairs. I have never heard of these or seen these before but I almost jumped for joy when I saw what they are. They are little cooling pads that you stick under your eyes to help get rid of bags and firm the skin under your eye.  I suffer terribly with allergies so I'm always carrying a set of luggage under my eyes. I can't wait to try these out. 

As a bonus I got a sheet sample of EM Cosmetics  The Life Pallete Out to Lunch. The Life Pallette is really awesome but it's $75.00. There are other pallettes to chose from as well. Maybe one day but that's a little much for me. You do get a lot in it so you might want to judge for yourself. 

So lets see how Ipsy adds up this month full size products add up to $35.50 so and that is not including the trial sizes. In my opinion Ipsy is the best subscription service out there. I have not TRIED others but I do see lots of pics and this one is amazing for ONLY $10.00. If you interested in joining please click here. I get referral points towards more make up. 

Stay tuned for reviews of my favs, and maybe my not so favs. Are you an Ipster? What did you get in your Glambag?  Leave me a comment and let me know. 

Ipsy's August 2013 Glambag

Hey have you heard about Ipsy? If you haven't this is the scoop it's $10.00 per month and you get cute make up bag with 4/5 full size or deluxe samples.I have been a member for a few months and have not been disappointed.  There are usually a few variations of the bag so every month I feel a little like a child on Christmas eve waiting for Santa. It's a great way to try premium products without the high dollar cost. 

You take a quiz and the products are tailored towards you from your answers. Each month they have a theme and the products and bag go with that theme. This is my August Bag "Glamour Academy".  I love the bag this month, it's so pretty and the products inside are awesome. 

The first thing is a deluxe size 1oz sample of Micheal Todd  Pumpkin facial mask.  The full size is 3.4 oz and cost $34.00.  Next is a Nailtini nail lacquer cost $13.00 a bottle. Sample of PixiBeauty Lash Booster Mascara it's a really nice size sample, full size sells for $19.00. Sample size of Urban Decay Revolution lipstick. It's the cutest sample in a silver tube. Full size sells for $22.00. Last but not least there's t a MicaBeauty shimmer powder full size sells for $9.99. Since they are not all full size I can't say look how much I saved. But I can say if you were to buy these things to try you would have spent a lot more than $10.00. 

I love getting my Ipsy glambag in every month if you want to get your own bag check it out here and Join me   

I'll post full reviews of the products I love soon so stay tuned.  Let me know if you decide to join.
