September Ipsy 2013 - Classic Beauty

I received my Ipsy bag for September today. I was super eager to receive my bag because I knew what I was getting before I even  got my bag. Even knowing all that it didn't stop the thrill or the suspense when I was opening my bag.

Ipsy's infamous pink bubble mailer!

My fourth item is the NYX single shadow in Morocco.

Retails: $4.50

Over all I think Ipsy did pretty decent this month. I know I didn't post last months bag because it came so late and I probably will not post it just because I feel like everyone has already seen last months bag. Like I was saying before I got off subject this months bag retails for a lot more $10 so I would highly suggest jumping on to the Ipsy band wagon if you haven't already.

 

The only odd thing that happend but I'm not complaining about is that I specifically said I don't like nail polish on my profile. But I guess that might have been why I received the polish. Ipsy tries to get you to try new things you haven't already tried in shades you probably wouldn't ever look at. That is why I think people would enjoy Ipsy. They are there to let you explore makeup without paying the expensive price tags. They're not there to give you makeup brands and colors that you already own. Ipsy for you to explore.

 

Ipsy June 2013 - On The Wild Side

I received my June 2013 Ipsy bag yesterday but I didn't have the chance to post as I was out fishing and swimming with my family so here it is a day late. I've been on the fence about Ipsy lately so I think if the next few bags aren't as good then I may just unsubscribe. But anyways on to the bag.

THE PINK BUBBLE MAILER

The cutest bag ever! The theme for this months bag was On The Wild Side.

First item in the bag was a full size NYX Cream Blush. The color I received is in the color Rose Petal number CB01. It is a mauve pinky/rose color with the slightest orange under tone. I already have many colors that look like this so my sister-in-law and I will be swapping as she received the color Orange in her bag. It is a color that I do not own so I was excited she was willing to trade and I can not wait to get my hands on it and try the color out!

Item number two that I found in my bag was the J.Cat Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue. These are in the number EL600. On the packaging it states that the lashes are 100% human hair and the glue that is included are latex free. Thumbs up to that because I find any glue with latex it doesn't ever hold my false lashes that long.

Next up is the J.Cat Sparkling Creme Palette in the color SCP106 Volta. I don't wear dark shadows that much so my sister-in-law and I have decided to swap palettes. She likes to wear dark shadows while I like to wear neutral shades so it was great we got the two different color palettes.

Last two items are the Starlooks lip liner in the color K337 Tipsy. This was the most common color for the lip liners but I'm glad I received this one as it is a neutral pinky every day color. Pictured below the lip liner is the Chella Ivor Lace Highlighter.  Honestly I'm not really excited about this as I can just use a shadow to take the place of this pencil. Both of these pencils do not twist up so they will need to be sharpened for those of you who are curious about them.

That is all I received in this month Ipsy bag. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will be back with a tutorial really soon. See you next time!
