My June Ipsy bag is here! If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a monthly beauty subscription. You go to Ipsy.com and fill out a profile (select your style and preferences) and for $10 a month you get 5 beauty samples in a cute new makeup bag sent right to your mail box. They are mostly deluxe samples but every once in a while you get a full size of something. It's a fun way to try out beauty products to see what you like. If you fill out the reviews for each product you can earn points which can be used for other beauty products that they offer.
This month I received Nuxe gentle exfoliating gel which has a light, clean rose scent. It feels really good to use. It has little beads that gently slough off dead skin cells. It says it is for frequent use which means that it is pretty gentle. It's a nice .5oz size so it will last me a while.
I also got Befine cucumber facial mask which has a crisp cucumber fragrance. It looks like a white clay mask and goes on easily and dries fast. My favorite part is the rinsing - it comes off so easily and you are not left with dry mud patches that you have to scrub. I could definitely feel the tightening afterward.
Next I got Smashbox photo finish primer which has always been my favorite primer. A little bit goes a. long way and your makeup looks great all day.
Then there is treStique mini shadow crayon in aspen pine. It's like a shimmery olive green, not what I would typically use on my eyes but I tried it out today with a gold one that I have and it kind of works, breaks the routine of coppery shadow that I have been doing daily. It goes on really smooth and you can build the color to your liking so it's nice.
Lastly a Formula X nail color in power source. It's a bright pinky color and one coat is plenty. I feel like most of my polish colors are pretty close to this so I'm happy to try it although I wouldn't have picked it out at the store,
The bag this month is a nice black bag with a hot pink zipper. I really like the contrast. The front of the pouch is satiny with IPSY embossed all over and the back is like a wetsuit material, nice and squishy and fun to touch.
Overall, this bag is pretty good but when I compare to the other products that were sent out, I would have picked other products for myself. It was very fun to get, I have a really hard time not spoiling it every month though. I wish I could leave it a surprise!
