Ipsy - July 2014 Edition - The First of Many

July Ipsy.

My First Ipsy Bag.

After a few months on Birchbox, I found Ipsy.com. A company, like Birchbox, that distributes 5 cosmetics samples every month in a little Ipsy specialized bag. My subscription has started in July and I'm very much looking forward to what is coming in the next few months.

For now I am going to review what what Ipsy has sent me for my first month.

Sexy Hair, Soy Renewal Beach Spray:  

I've tried this product twice. Once right before bed, and the other was when I put my hair up, so sadly I don't have great results yet; however, I can tell I got a little bit of windswept look :\

Pop Beauty, Sunkissed Bronzer in Secret Sunshine:

Now I'm sorry to report that I have nothing to compare this to, because this is my first Bronzer (I know, such a tragedy) but I would like to point out that this bronzer is perfect for my skin tone, Ipsy did a great job on which shade to send, and it goes on very light, so I can build it up nicely. 

It was a great addition to the bag that I've used very often.

bareMinerals, 5 in 1, BB advanced Performance Cream eyeshadow:

I was a bit leary of this product, and even though iv actually used it a few times, i still am. its a good product, goes on smoothly, easy to blend, and although the color looked super dark in the vial, it was a but lighter and looked more natural. But I'm still not exactly sure hot to apply it. The cap has a little applicator attached to it so you can apply it on your eyes, but since its soaked in the cream, its not something you would use to blend it in, and can get a bit messy, so you would then need a small blending brush. but i would suggest doing it quickly, as the cream dry's fairly quick. which is actually a good thing. also i would like to note, that the cream, once applied and dried, is very light.

Full coverage, easy to blend, potent but natural color, light and airy feeling, dry's quickly, what more could you ask for right? 

I'm sure the problems I have with it, will work itself out as I experiment more with the product and more experienced makeup users would not have the same problems.

Pixi, Tinted Brilliance Balm, in Pretty Pink:

Now lets get this stated. I don't look very good in pink lipstick, pink tones yes, but peachy pinks, subtle pinks, or super dark pinks that are closer to purples or reds. Not bright pinks, shimmery, glittery, glossy pinks or frosted pinks (although i don't look good in frosted anything).

This lip tint is buttery, and smooth. With a nice bright lip color, and a slight shimmer to the finish. Its  it is almost too buttery for my opinion, so it doesn't stick too well if you eat stuff, but the color does last a bit even if you feel like its worn off.

To be all truthful, it isn't my color, but it's nice having something that I wouldn't buy myself incase I'm feeling adventurous.

Last, and sadly least, is the Hang Ten 08 Dark tanning oil.

Natural sunscreen, SPF 08 protection. Water resistant.

Now I say least, because I don't tan, so I haven't tried it :\ It's as simple as that.

I hope my review was helpful.

Until next time!
