August 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag

At about 10pm last night, Pete reminded me to check the mail. How could I forget at such an important time of the month? I mean, I knew my Ipsy bag had shipped; I had been tracking it until late on Friday! How could I forget?

But there it was, waiting for me in its pink shiny envelope.

I was so excited for this month because My Glam Room hasn't been put up yet and I didn't know what I was going to be getting! The only preview I'd seen on Facebook was for the Urban Decay lipstick so I was unbelievably excited. This was the first bag I'd gotten without going onto My Glam Room first and spoiling the surprise.

And the surprise was pleasant!

Here's what was included in my Glam Bag this month:

Contents: 

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick sample in Anarchy

Mica Beauty eye shadow in Bronze (full size!)

Pacifica BB Cream sample

Pixi Lash Booster Mascara in Blackest Black

Micheal Todd Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub sample

So far, I'm loving this bag. I used the scrub this morning, which left my face soft and smooth. It was gentler than last month's Dermae scrub but I really enjoyed it. I'm waiting to use the mascara sample until I start running low on my Clump Crusher and I plan on trying the BB Cream sometime this week (my only complaint so far on the BB Cream is that it does not have an SPF in it.)

Have you received your Ipsy bag yet? What did you get in yours?

July 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag

All right. Let's get this straight. I love Ipsy. My monthly Ipsy Glam Bag is something I really look forward to and cannot wait to open each month. I lust over the sneak peaks on Facebook and I obsessively track it once I get the always exciting "Your Ipsy Bag Has Shipped" email. 

It's cool. I'm a freak. No big deal. I already know. I have a problem.

I was particularly excited about this bag because 1. The cosmetic bag this month is freaking awesome and I'll actually use it. 2. LIP CRAYON. I love lip crayons and always have the intention of getting more. (Then I buy eye shadow instead.)

I actually received my bag on Friday so I had all weekend to play with my new products. (Of course I only got to play with a couple since I was kind of busy goofing off and visiting my family but still...)

Here's what I got: 

1. Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray (love this so far)

2. Derma e Microdermabrasion Scrub (have not tried yet but really looking forward to this one... working on my skincare routine)

3. BH Cosmetics California Collection eyeshadow sample palette (YESYESYES!!!)

4. Cool Mineral Sunscreen (going to be great for whenever I make it down to the beach)

5. Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in Coral Crush (such a fun color but a bit bright)

 

I'm pretty excited to try all of these products and to play more with my new lip crayon and eye shadows (my favorites!) I'm also really curious to try out the Microdermabrasion scrub.

Bonus photo of me wearing my new lip crayon. I applied an Instagram filter so it's a little off in color (look what it did to my hair color!) but I'm a horribly vain person that has to include selfies in my blogs posts.
