Ipsy Review – June 2014

Hi everyone!!

I just got my first Ipsy bag, and I can’t wait to share it with you!!

Ipsy is a beauty subscription service that sends you 4-5 deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products each month for only $10!

I found out about Ipsy six months ago, and I’ve wanted to try it ever since.  I was on the wait list for several months before I (awkwardly) posted on Facebook to skip the wait!

I went home for Father’s Day weekend, so I didn’t receive my bag until I returned to my apartment on Sunday evening.  I was pretty excited when I saw the shiny pink envelope in my mailbox!

“Pretty in Paradise”  is the theme for June!

My bag included:

• Rebecca Minkoff makeup bag
• Be A Bombshell – Lash Out Mascara
• Marc Anthony – Dream Waves Beach Spray
• NYX – Butter Gloss – Éclair
• Jesse’s Girl – Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
• OLEHENRIKSEN – truth to go wipes

I absolutely LOVE the makeup bag this month!  It’s Rebecca Minkoff and super adorable!  The pineapples are perfect for a summery paradise theme!

Be A Bombshell – Lash Out Mascara – FULL SIZE

I’ve really been wanting to try a new mascara, so I’m pretty happy to have received this is my bag!

One odd thing about this mascara is that is has a strong garlic smell if you put the wand near your nose!  GROSS!!

I suffered through the weird smell to try out the mascara and it’s actually pretty nice.  You can’t smell the funky garlic when it’s applied to your lashes.

Marc Anthony – Dream Waves Beach Spray

This spray smells amazing!! It’s very coconut-y!!

The instructions say to apply the spray to either damp or dry hair.

I tried it out on my dry hair and it didn’t really do much for me.  I have very straight, fine hair, so that’s probably why it didn’t work! Oh well!! I’ll see if any of my friends can use it!

NYX – Butter Gloss – Éclair – FULL SIZE

This product has been getting great reviews and I understand why!! I love the smooth (and buttery) formula!

The gloss also has a subtle sweet smell that I really like!

Éclair is the perfect color for me!  It’s a light pink that is very natural and perfect for everyday wear!

Jesse’s Girl – Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner – Black – FULL SIZE

I’ve never worn liquid eyeliner, but this one seems nice!  It has a very fine tip, which will be good for achieving the perfect line!

I’m kind of a spazz, so when I tried it out on my eyelid the line was rather wavy!  Oh well, practice makes perfect!!

OLEHENRIKSEN – truth to go wipes – 10 count

I’ve recently started using makeup remover wipes, and I was pretty excited to see these in my June bag!

The excitement dissipated when I smelled them.  At first, the wipes smelled pleasantly like oranges.  Then, after smelling them the whole time I was cleaning my face, the smell started to make me sick.  It was an unbearable combination of sugar and citrus.  I figured the smell would go away after a few minutes, but it did not.  I smelled the sweet, citrus scent until I took a shower and washed my face again!

I think I’m going to save these wipes for emergency purposes only!!

I’m very pleased with my first Ipsy bag, and I can’t wait to see what I get next month!!
