Ipsy's June Sneak Peek!!!

Ipsy's Sneak Peek 1:


Ipsy Posted this picture on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ipsy?fref=ts
It's the first sneak peek!! From the looks of it, It's going to be Nyx products which I don't have much of. So looks like they want to bronze it up. It looks like to me Nyx's powder blush in Sand and a Mosaic powder blush in Silk maybe also a Rouge cream blush in Red Cheeks!!! Who doesn't love blushes? I am excited for next Month's bag already and of course I will keep this updated as the sneak peeks keep coming!!!

Also Ipsy announced on their page that they temporarily removed the glam bag wait list!! 
That's awesome news for all new Ipsters!! So that means if you sign up now you won't have to wait you will get next months bag without having to wait a certain amount of time. When I first signed up it took 3 months till they accepted me. Here is a referral link to click on if you want to sign up, http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-h9qjxugjyps1uq0  What are you waiting for? Just $10.00 a month and if your dissatisfied you can always unsubscribe!

This is Ipsy's Sneak Peek 2, On face book they said "Wild with vivid pencils perfect for your pout await this month." -Ipsy facebook-
At first glance i thought a MAC lipliner because of the coloring of it but the writing on it is smaller and longer so that is out I have seen other people saying something like Starlooks? But I have never heard of that brand before.  Here is a link to their lip liners http://starlooks.com/collections/lips/products/lip-pencil

Aveeno Shampoo and Conditioner Nourish + Moisturize 









I was sent samples of the shampoo and conditioner I had them in my closet for the longest time I finally decided to pull them out, I loved the smell of it wasn't too strong lathered just the right amount felt nice while I was in the shower actually felt like my hair was getting clean. The conditioner was very creamy felt really nice in the hair.

I was able to brush through my hair without using a detangler which is a two thumb ups for me at least. 

Now the real test is the next three days ( how long I go before washing it on the 4th day) It stayed silky soft all the way up to the 4th day that's when it was starting to get oily again. I really liked this shampoo and Conditioner I do recommend it to others give it a try really good price 4.99 can be found at http://www.target.com/ in store also. It's a 10.5 oz good size for great price. 

On the website it says it's used for damaged hair which wasn't what I was using it for. I just look for shampoo's that are moisturizing and gives me more volume which this shampoo and Cond. does not give volume just letting you know but I always switch between shampoo's that do that so that way my hair doesn't get used to them. 

Would I go out and buy this yes I would, after I go through my other samples (oh so many).

now onto my bag :)

May bag


Now the Chevron bag is this months bag the pink and white bag is last month's bag as shown here - 
Now the reason why I included it is because they sent it to me with this package, last month I got a different bag with flowers on it (it smelled really bad) because it did not pass their inspection?!?! So in their e-mail they said they were going to send it in the next month's bag (current) so since I got it I put it in. 
(Thanks Ipsy for remembering!) Now onto my products


This roller ball perfume is by Pacifica in Tahitian Gardenia, It was a really strong for my taste I like lightly scented perfumes so I did not keep this I gave it to my mother-in-law which loved the smell of it. The roller ball retails at $12.00 at http://www.pacificaperfume.com/ and it's .33 oz. 100% Vegan for those who want to know. 






Next is a yaby concealer in Buff looks like it's a match I am excited to try this the concealers I have now are not that great so I will update this at a later time about with I think of it. ( I am not going to put makeup on at 10pm just to review it lol I will wait till tomorrow.) On the website http://www.yabycosmetics.com/ it's in the concealer refill in the face products.
 It costs $4.85 and is at 3.50 Grams I don't know if mine is a mini or if it's full size normally it says in the my glam room on ipsy but it doesn't this time. *Update* I used this concealer today and it was very creamy blended into the skin very nicely enjoyed it very much.




Clear Brow Gel by Anastasia I don't use brow gel because I don't do anything to my brows nothing Nada people think I get them done but I don't naturally shaped I don't fill them in they don't go crazy on me I don't need this. So I think I might trade it with someone that wants it on Ipsy. Never opened I just took it out of the box for the picture. Retails at $22.00  0.28 oz You can find it at http://www.sephora.com/ 
























Mirabella lipstick in Posy which I admit I was a little worried about the color at first but once I tried it on and stepped out into the sunlight it looked like a strawberry color really pretty! It's out of my comfort zone but it works for me. Opening it up it looked like a red lipstick but since it's a Colour Sheers lipstick came out strawberry. Just so everyone knows I don't like the color red in clothing or nail polish, makeup etc. Does not look good on me. Retails at $22.00 3g/0.11 US oz. at http://www.mirabellabeauty.com/  
(lip swatch at later time)








A Zoya nail polish in Gie Gie, My first Zoya nail polish and but not going to be my last! I just started getting into nail polishes I had a select few but it has grown in the past couple months so I am no expert on it. I will update more on the wear when I paint my toes with it because my nails are recovering at the moment from having fake nails on them.The wear of these nail polishes is really good I painted my toes the day before I went to the beach and they still look really good!!! Retails at $8.00 at http://www.zoya.com/ On the website it says: 

Color Family Pink

Finish Metallic

Intensity 5 ( 1=Sheer - 5=Opaque )

Tone Cool

I will update my thoughts on this at a later time :)  


Last but not least:









Urban Decay moondust eyeshadow in Space Cowboy now I have never tried UD before but I hear great things about it I am so glad I got this, Not everyone did they said in my email "since you are such a great content creator and active member of the ipsy community, you'll also be getting a free Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow with your bag this month... THANK YOU!" No THANK YOU IPSY :) For choosing me!!! Really soft texture goes on really Opaque the color is so me. I will update a swatch of it when there is better lighting. Retails at $20.00 says it's vegan. Can be found at http://www.urbandecay.com/ and http://www.sephora.com/ 





Well that is everything in my bag this month most I enjoy, the bag total (for me) comes out to-88.85 my cost 10.00 worth it? YES! I say at least try one month you can always unsubscribe if you don't like it but for me I am staying as long as my budget lets me.

featuring Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash

I am a member of Influenster http://www.influenster.com/ , I received an e-mail  telling me I qualified for a vox box! Which Is always exciting knowing your going to be receiving something in the mail soon! Once I got it I was excited to try it out. Here is what I thought about it.

First thing I tried it on was my hair, it didn't feel like it got clean enough for my taste. It lathered real nice but I didn't like it for a hair product for me. The next day my hair felt greasy once again and the day after that my scalp was really itchy. My hubby tried it on his hair also the following day and it made his hair really frizzy. So he didn't like it for a hair product either, but everyone is different it might work for you! The next thing I tried was for a body wash, which I really liked made my skin really soft. The scent wasn't to overpowering for those of you who don't like a strong scent. But I wished it was a little stronger so that it would stay on the skin longer than 10mins or so. Would I buy this one probably not I would go for the normal products since I don't like it for a hair wash, even though it didn't work me it might work for others never know till you try it out!!!!

I went onto twitter because I follow Influenster on their, and I saw many posts about how mothers are using it as a bubble bath for their children so that is my next test! My daughter has sensitive skin like i do but since she is 23 months it's more so. So after I try that out I will do an updated post!!!!
*UPDATE*
I gave my little girl a bath and used this as her bubble bath had to use a couple splashes of it to create enough bubbles, It did not break her out but she did end up splashing the water a bit getting it into her eyes and like shampoo does it burned her eyes so I won't be using it for her again because of that but I am going to use it for my older child!
