This is just a quick overview of my July 2013 ipsy bag!!
(Ipsy is a $10.00 monthly subscription, and each bag contains between 4-6 deluxe to full size samples, the quiz you takes insures that each bag is custom to fit all your beauty needs.)
July was filled with lots of beach ready items, and I was super excited to try everything!!
This month we received 1 full size product and 4 deluxe samples. All prepared to have your looking your best at the beach or just around town.
Lets just just straight to the review :)
**Full size Nailtini polish in the color Mia Tia....Full size product is $13.00**
While the color of this polish is stunning and the packaging is great. It is not a very well made product. I found that it chipped really easily and was very streaky and it took at-least 2 applications to achieve a full coverage, and it was also very staining to the nail. I would not purchase this product.
**Coola mineral face SPF 20 Unscented moisturizer....Full size product is $36.00**
This is one product you can say "a little goes a long way", so i dont mind that it was a super tiny sample. I like to use this as a facial moisturizer and I love that it has no scent. I did not notice any break out, but I prefer something with a little more SPF especially on my face. No I will not be purchasing this product, but it was nice to try.
**Big Sexy Hair Weather proof humidity spray, deluxe sample....Full size $17.95**
I have always been a HUGE fan of BSH products and this is another favorite to add to my list. I love that it provides volume while not allowing the humid temps to effect your hair style. It is nice and lightweight and does not leave your hair feeling stiff or crunchy. Yes i will be purchasing this amazing product.
**BH Cosmetics sample pallet in the colors: malibu, san franscisco, and hollywood....Each pallet retails for $8.95**
The color payoff of these eye shadows was not the best, and the color selection they choice imo was horrible. But they do apply really nicely and blend out well. I tried using these without a primer to test the true lasting power, and lets just say....It began to come off after just a few short hours...Not impressed and NO I will not be buying these pallets.
**Pouty Pop Crayon-color coral crush- Comes in a pack of 5 colors for 25.00**
This has to be my most favorite item out of the whole bag. (I even traded some things to get 2 more colors) They apply so smoothly and live a hint of shine on your lips. They last ALL day and do not require a reapplication. I did not find that the smudged or slid off the lips and they can be used alone,with a liner, or with a gloss over top. Yes I will purchase more of these.
** Nicole by OPI-plum-full size 8.00**
I love opi nail polish but this is one color I was not happy about. And I cannot leave an honest review because I have personally not even opened the bottle. Purple is just not my thing.
**The Ipsy Bag**
I absolutely despised this bag, but the Idea behind it was cute. But nothing screams child like, in my opinion, than a clear plastic bag. It is not durable, seeing as how mine was destroyed in the mail, and in no way would I trust the bag to be waterproof at the beach.
On a scale of 1-10 I rate this months Ipsy bag at a 6. I did not hate any of the products(bonus aside) and I enjoyed trying them all, especially for only $10.00 a month. If you are interested in Ipsy feel free to click the link below the picture and secure your spot on the waiting list.
