July Ipsy Fun

I have joined this Julep Swap group, which I love because they talk about the latest discounts and news that resides in Julep.  Not only do they talk about Julep, they talk about all the other Subscriptions they do.  One is called Ipsy.  Michelle Phan created Ipsy to show the many beauty items that can be used so that consumers may buy them.  Pretty neat.  The best part?  Only $10 a month.  For this price, you get 5-6 products and a cute cosmetic bag.  They organize the products based on a quiz that you take.  Then, when you get your first bag, you review the items based on how you like them or not, and they take that information and try to base it on your next bag!  My suggestion?  Find a few friends who may want to do this with you...when you get your bags, get together, share your bag, and have some wine, and swap out the items you don't want, or whatever.  Are you intrigued?

My July Ipsy Glam Bag

Inside my super pink cute cosmetic bag, I received:  the new bareMinerals 5 in 1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow Broad Spectrum 15 SPF, Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil SPF 8, Pixy Beauty Mini Tinted Brilliance Balm, POP Beauty Sunkissed Bronzer, Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray Conditioning and Texturizing Spray.  

The bareMinerals Cream Eyeshadow was a mini version, but I really LOVE this.  The color I got was Divine Wine, which was a little like a dark brown.  This eyeshadow definitely stays on and does not melt in the crease of your eyelid.  I know it's $18, but I totally think the price is worth it.  You can get it at the bareMinerals boutique store, Ulta, and I think Sephora! 

The Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil has a great smell to it, and it's not greasy.  If you are outside at all, and put this on, you will definitely get something.  It is naturally made, and I really like this.  

Pixy Beauty Mini Tinted Brilliance Balm is seriously the perfect pink for going out.  It twists so that you do not have to sharpen it and it definitely moisturizes your lips.  I definitely want to buy the non mini version!  ;-)

I have not been a huge bronzer person, but I really like the POP Beauty Sunkissed Bronzer.  It is the just amount of Bronze that is slightly darker than my skin, so I don't look weird with it on.  It's the perfect glow for the summer.  I saw some of the POP Beauty Products at TJ Maxx....so really interested in checking that out!

The Sexy Hair Beach Spray has an awesome smell to it.  It definitely adds texture to your hair to give it that Salty Beachy feel.  I think the texture was a little too much for me, but if you have curly hair (I don't), then you may enjoy this.  

The Pink bag is super cute, and I am currently using it to hold lip sticks and glosses :-) 

If you like to try out things and get a better idea of what's out there in the beauty market, I definitely think this is worth it.  If you are interested in trying Ipsy, here's a link: http://www.ipsy.com/r/ceg5
