Ipsy - July 2014

 This month's Ipsy bag was bright!! Neon actually. What you see is the real color of the bag.
As for what's inside...not too bad this month.

 Pop bronzer - not bad. I have been using it and have been pleased. There is a slight shimmer to it. But I like the large surface for the larger brushes.


PIxi lip balm - this goes on like a chap stick but has color like a gloss. The color was a bit bright for me, but the product itself was nice.
 5 in 1 liquid eyeshadow - I don't know if I just don't know how to use them, but I don't understand what the point is of liquid eyeshadow. Therefore, i don't prefer this product, But i tried it anyway. This one went on nicely. The applicator was soft and easy to work with.  the color was not as dark as it looked, but it took a while to dry. I ended up putting some similar colored shadow over it, just to keep it from transferring and getting it dried a little faster.
 Beach spray - I have not used this yet, but wanted to try. Will do review once I have used it a few times. (I tend to pull my hair up a lot in summertime)
Another product, I have not tried just yet, but it will review when I do. I am eager to see how it works, because I am one of those that tend to burn, and not "tan" easily.

Ipsy bag - June 2014



Realtree for her, eau de parfum -- It's a light scent. Not too bad. Reminiscent of Skin So Soft from Avon. not bad, but not my taste. Also, it came in a little ziplock and I wondered why. After spraying it, it got all over the tester sprayer, so keep that baggie for re-storage.

NYX butter gloss in Eclair - light pink color. Thick formula. tingles the lips slightly. usual stickyness like a gloss but not too unbearable.Stay factor seems good.  pigment is not too bad - not shear, but the color is pretty light.

Carol's daughter styling cream (crack me up as I AM a Carol's daughter) -- I don't typically use these, but will review in more detail when i do. Not much of a scent to it.

NickNack NY shimmer eye liner -- liquid eyeliner. Applicator is very pointed, semi-firm, application was pretty good pigment wise. Color I got was a teal blue -- not sure when/where I would use this. But its good to have for those times you wanna do something a little out of the box.


Ofra eyebrow pencil -- seems typical. I just started doing my eyebrows so I am excited to try this and save my actual brown eyeliners. (sorry, no pic but it looks like a brown eyeliner pencil, no big thing)
