Ipsy - August 2014 Edition

 August Ipsy Review

  J.cat Beauty, Flying Solo eye shadow, in Half Naked:

Says Half naked, so you would think it would be a nude, or maybe a brown, but its orange. A light orange, with a shimmer. Blends fairly well. Haven't found the right time to wear it.

Dr. brandt, Pores no more:

Instant mattifying pore refiner.

I actually got this product in my February Birchbox, so I do have a previous review. but I'm going to say something about it anyways since iv been using it for 6 months now.

I use it on my nose, before I put on my concealer and foundation and it actually does work. Don't ask me how, I have no clue :p but my nose does look a little more photoshoped to look smooth.

Klorane, Dry Shampoo:

I've actually gotten this in a previous Birchbox as well, but sadly I neglected my duties for a few months and didn't write and reviews for the April, May and June Birchbox's, and so you all don't know that.

This was actually my first time trying dry shampoo, and so it was an interesting experience that has led me to want to have dry shampoo on hand all the time :p lol. So I can't give you a review on the brand because I have no clue how this brand is better then other dry shampoo's. All I know is once this little container runs out, I will be going to the store and buying more dry shampoo.

Jersey Shore Sun, Mangongo, Nutrient Dense anti againg lip conditioner:

I love this stuff!!! Super silky, stays on for a long time and actually hydrates your lips, vs other "lip balms" that seem to wear off and your lips are then still dry. It may seem a little greasy/buttery when you first put it on, but it mellows out, and in my opinion the mango aroma is quite pleasant.

When I work, other lip balms wear off, my lips get dry, and I have to worry that it will show. But when I've put on the Jersey Shore Mangongo, I might have to put it on twice, but hardly ever, because my lips stay hydrated through my whole shift of running around bussing tables.

so I think that says something.

Last and definitely not least - Urban Decay, Perversion, Bigger, blacker, badder, Mascara:

I've only just started to notice the difference in mascara's and what I like in each of them, but I still have a hard time defining what I like and don't like in some. So this is one of those where I actually like it, and I might buy the full version when this little one is done. but I'm not exactly sure I know why I like it vs. my other mascara's.

It seems to separate, define my lash's nicely while still adding thickness to them. So far there hasn't been a whole lot of clumping, as I've said. I'm pretty happy with the product.

I hope my review was helpful.

Until next time! :)
