August Ipsy bag

Ok, I finally jumped on the Ipsy bandwagon. What’s not to love about getting a cute bag filled with beauty products every month, right?

I got my first bag this month, a couple of weeks ago and I think I’m in love with this service. Want to see what I got?

Well, duh. That was a stupid question.

The houndstooth bag isn’t really my style, but it’s cute and might come in handy one day. The stuff inside, however… I was really happy with everything!

Hikari lip gloss in Merlot
This formula is a little stickier than I like, but the color is awesome and it has some real staying power.

Briogeo Blossom & Bloom volumizing spray

I tried this for the first time yesterday, and I liked it. Did it make my hair poofier? Hard to say, but it smells nice and my hair was super soft.

Oh, and I got my hair cut! I’m wearing the lip gloss in this pic, too.

Trust Fund Beauty polish in Elegantly Wasted

I don’t know what sort of wizardy this is, but this stuff dries so fast! The color is really nice, and they don’t use a ton of nasty stuff in their polish. I like it.

Starlooks Pro Luxe Longwear eye liner pen

My preferred method of lining my eyes involves plain ol’ eyeshadow and an eyeliner brush. A lot of pens I’ve tried end up smearing everywhere the second I finish applying the liner…Not this one! It stayed put all day, no smudges. I’m pretty impressed, and I think I’ll see if they offer other colors.

Lather Ultra Mild Face Wash

This was really the only thing I was only eh…about. I used it with my face brush (best purchase ever, by the way) and it did make my face feel clean, but I don’t know that this would be helpful for acne or oily skin. Still, it’s the perfect size for travel, and it didn’t make my skin worse, so…I’ll keep it around.

So is it worth the ten bucks? Well this is only my first bag, but I’d definitely say yes! It was like my birthday or Christmas when the bright pink envelope arrived…And I had a ton of fun trying out the new goodies.
