Mongongo Vanilla Coconut Cream Lip Conditioner

Okay. So Ipsy sent me a lip balm. No biggie. This “lip conditioner” is actually very.. conditioning. I like it.. It’s probably the best thing I got this month.

Jor’el Parker: Classico

I’m not really one to get excited about being sent perfume. The scent isn’t anything special to me, so this will probably either be given away or forgotten.

BelláPierre Mineral Lipstick in P.I.N.K.

Alright, cool, a lipstick.. except.. it’s pink.. I feel like pink lipstick looks awful on me. Just me?

Eyetini Swizzle Stick Eyeliner in Blue Hawaiian

Yes! A blue eyeliner. Swatches beautifully, great color.. except.. it barely shows on the waterline. Maybe it’ll be better on the lash-line?

Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer

I’m not really in to bronzer, but I gave this a try anyways. I had high hopes for this, mostly because it was from tarte. I feel like I had to pack it on to even see it though. Maybe if I was in to the bronzed-look I would of liked this, but it was just meh for me.


Well, there you have it. I hope you weren’t as let down as me! Let me know what you got in your Ipsy bag this month.

June Ipsy Bag 2015

Evening, beauties. Today I received my first ever Ipsy bag! I can happily report that I am pleasantly pleased with everything I received this month.


tres’StiQue Mini Shadow Crayon in Aspen Pine

(.02 oz)

SAM_0942 SAM_0944

SAM_0941

The full size price for one of these crayons is $26. Apparently these babies aren’t even out yet though, because on tre’StiQue’s site it says “Coming Soon” under all of the different shades. So, that’s pretty awesome.. and so is the crayon. Glides on smooth, has great pigmentation. I personally wouldn’t buy one of the full ones myself, but hey, I’ll enjoy it while I have it.


Smash Box Photo Finish Foundation Primer

(.25 oz)

SAM_0948

Unless you’ve been living under the sea, then all of you should know what this is. I, personally, am very excited to use this sample, as I have not tried this primer before. The travel size version of this primer is .50 oz for $16, making this baby worth 8 whole dollars. Over half the value of the entire Ipsy bag itself.


BeFine Cucumber Facial Mask

(1 oz)

SAM_0946

The first thing I can say about this product: It made the entire Ipsy envelope and bag smell like cucumbers. That can either be a good or bad thing depending on your personal preference. The full size price is $25 for 4 oz. I’ve been wanting to try masks lately, so I’m pretty happy about this sample.


Nuxe Gentle Exfoliating Gel with Rose Petals

(.50 oz)

SAM_0949

I’m not really sure how I feel about this product yet. I’ve read reviews that the gel is too gentle, not being able to exfoliate like it’s meant to. My boyfriend has really sensitive skin, so I’m going to make him try it (and he’ll smell like a cute little girl afterwards <3). The full size price is $26 for 2.6 oz.


Formula X Nail Color in Power Source

(.13 oz)

SAM_0945

This is one of the samples I am most excited about (right behind smashbox). This color is described as a Hot Coral. Perfect for summer. Plus the bottle is just so tiny and cute! Full size price is $10.50 for .4 oz.


And that concludes this month’s Ipsy bag! A pretty good bag in my opinion. More than worth what you actually paid ($10).  What did you get in your June Ipsy bag?
