August Ipsy Glam Bag
This month's theme was Good Vibes Only which I love. It's a motto of my life. So I was really excited when I saw the products and theme for this. Plus I love this girl holding the rose quartz in the picture. I'm big into crystals as well, so the entire thing was appealing to me.
Also, this month came in this gold bubble bag and not the normal pink one. I'm not really sure if that has ever happened before.
I'm in love with this bag! This saying on it is one that I use all the time. I'm really big on Good Vibes Only. I don't have time for negativity in my life. There is enough of it going on without needing to add to it. Plus I love the ombre effect on the bag.
I really enjoy The Balm cosmetics. I have a bunch of these little cardboard squares of eyeshadows and blush. This is the 1st highlighter I have gotten with them. It's really quite gorgeous.
It's a really soft glow on my skin so it adds the perfect highlight without having to cake it on. I really need to check out and see what else they have going on. I seem to always get random ones. I've never gotten anything that I wasn't happy with.
I just discovered Glamour Dolls this year since they are the ones that are helping put out the Lisa Frank line. I have the 2 Lisa Frank brush from them one is a blending brush similar to this and the other is the angle brush that was actually featured in the ipsy bag a few months back. This one is a fluffier and longer brush than the other one I have by them. It's soft, work perfectly and holds the product very well. I really adore their brushes.
All I have ever really tired by Pacifica is their blush and I've been very pleased. This one is amazing. It's a blush duo with a light and dark shade which is perfect for contouring. It also has a mirror on the back of it. I really enjoy any product that includes a mirror it's just convenient.
This one works great on my skin tone. The color on the left is a brownish pink color while the one on the right its a pinkish red. They are both really lovely on. I have been used them to contour my cheeks and top it off with the balm highlighter that was also included in this month bag. It's a stunning combination
This one came with a coupon for Ulta. I have never purchased anything with them so I thought I would post it here for anyone who does to use. I'd hate for it to go to waste. Honestly, I feel like I'm missing out with not shopping with Ulta but I just adore Sephora so much.
I've never heard of this brand before. Sorry, this picture makes it looks pink it's really the green as seen below. It's a color corrector which green is used to neutralize redness. I used it around my problem areas where I have redness on my cheeks and around my nose and t-zone.
As you can see it's a nice light green color that is actually lighter than my skin. It works really well. I haven't really gotten into color correcting completely. I've dabbled in it with a couple little cheap kits I got from Walmart. I need to explore it more. This one is a nice formula that's not heavy and does the job perfectly.
I really enjoy paper masks. They are a strange experience that always creeps me out in a good way. These masks were extra weird. They didn't want to go on my face. It's like they weren't long enough. They were perfectly wide enough to have some extra on each side of my face. It was awkward, I'm not sure if I just put it on wrong or it was just the mask. It was really uncomfortable to wear it for the 25 mins I had it on. I was excited to take it off at that point. After you take off the mask you massage what's left into your face. It did leave my face nice and smooth. So the weird uncomfortable 25 mins of it was worth it. I don't think it's one that I would buy due to way it goes on. The masks are something you can relax in but if it's one that is not comfortable to wear then it kind of defeats the purpose. If anyone had a better experience with it I would love to know.
This month bag was a lot better than the last one was. I was really happy with it in general. The products and the theme went really well together. Hopefully Ipsy will keep that going from here. However they can be a hit and miss but so can anything really.
