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!

Zelo Brazilian Keratin Smoothing System

I don't know if I have ever mentioned it before but I have very frizzy hair. I have to work very hard to remove the frizz and even harder to keep the frizz away. I live in south Louisiana and almost every day is extremely humid so I'm sure that is a huge contributing factor. My hair is also naturally wavy so not only do I have to fight humidity but like most girls I love to use heat and color my hair (but don't tell anybody) so I guess that may share some of the blame.  I use numerous products most of the time they work but sometimes they just don't work .

When I was chosen to try the Zelo Professional Brazilian Keratin Smoothing system I was super excited. It is designed for frizz and curl control to give you salon results at home. it's said to eliminate frizz, add manageability, soften curls, reduce styling time, conditions hair, repair damage, add shine, is color safe with no harsh chemical. So in other words it's safe, simple, and affordable plus it works on ALL hair types.

I was not sure what to expect before I got my package but I assumed it was a shampoo, conditioner, and some other product. When I got my package and read the instructions, I was surprised it is only 2 products one is a Clarifying deep cleanser and the other is called Action Keratin smoothing solution.

Before with no products and air dried!

The system is so simple to use all you do is clean your hair with the clarifying deep cleanser which is a shampoo type product. It doesn't give extreme lather but enough to the job if you make sure your hair is saturated. After that you towel dry then spray and spread the Keratin solution throughout your hair. Wait 45 minutes and wash it out using the Clarifying solution. The last thing you do is blow dry and straighten as usual. They are both a medium consistency and neither have an extremely strong smell.

You can see a big difference in my hair so I'm impressed. This treatment is said to last 30 washes so I'm anxious to see if it will continue to reduce the amount of frizz for that long.  Do you have a problem with frizz? You can purchase your own at Drugstore.com and Walgreens.com (on-line only)

I received this product complimentary but the opinion expressed is all mine. I only recommend products I feel are good for my readers.
