Welcome Back!!! Can you believe how fast time is flying??? June is a little more than halfway over so you. I'm a little late with my post. I received my bag in the mail a week ago. So let's dig into it....
So as you've seen in my previous post, Ipsy is featuring different artist with the Ipsy bag design. This month's bag is designed by Rebecca Minkoff. I love the design of this bag...perfect for summer. I think this is one of my favorite bags so far.
The first item I spotted in my bag was the NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel. If you haven't already heard the hype about NYX butter glosses, listen up now. These glosses are smooth, non-sticky, have great color (not too pigmented; a medium wash of color), and smell so so good. Adding this to my collection, I think I have 4 of them.
NYX offers butter glosses in a range of 22 different shades. I'm really into the orange/coral trend lately so this will pair perfectly with some of my summer looks. NYX butter glosses retail for approximately $4.99 each.
My bag also included a full size Be a Bombshell Lash Out Mascara. Ipsy seems to include Be a Bombshell products in almost every one of their monthly subscriptions. I've liked some of their products. However, sometimes I just want to switch it up.
Perfect timing because I've been on a mascara kick lately. The product description says " A rich pigmented mascara with a lengthening formula that offers a multidimensional look." This product retails for $15.
The one product I was really interested in trying was the Clarisea Sea Salt Solutions Face Rapid Detox Charcoal Exfoliant. This is probably by far one of the most unique skincare products I've ever used.
The instructions say to mix with your favorite facial cleanser for extra blackhead clearing kick. Primary benefits of this product are:
- Blackhead control
- Natural Exfoliation
- Pore purging & minimizing
- Daily cleansing & light exfoliation
Next, we have the NickaK Shimmer Eyeliner in Blue (NF004). This liquid eyeliner is a beautiful, metallic teal color.
With just the swatch on my hand, I noticed the applicator (more firm than most; not sure if it's actually plastic or not). For most, that may work well allowing for a more precise application. I allowed the color to set. When I tried to remove the liner with a small drop of water, it did come off but still left some color (shown in the picture below). So we know it's not waterproof.
However, I'm still impressed by the pigmentation. I'll definitely be trying this out very soon. This eyeliner comes in 14 colors and retails for $4.99.
Last but not least is the Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray. I used this for the first time yesterday and really liked it.
The product description says "Create sexy, tousled beach waves all year long". The spray smells amazing (fresh coconut scent) and gives great results. I only used a little (on my hair dry) and used my fingers to scrunch up my hair. I could feel the hold it gave to my waves (which scared me at first). However, I was able to easily run a hairbrush through my hair with ease. The full size bottle (which is 4.25 fl oz), retails for $8.99. Ulta's website currently has this item on sale (Buy one get one free).
Overall, I was very pleased with this month's bag. Most of these items will go to good use. Keep your eyes peeled for the latest and greatest with all things beauty via Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest @AngBeauty411. Have a wonderful day and as always....happy shopping!!!
