I received my June IPSY bag this week. The theme for this month's bag was Pretty in Paradise. After last month's bag, I figured any bag had to better than that..and boy was I right. I am actually super excited to start trying out these products.
This month's bag also caught my attention. It is a Rebecca Minkoff for Ipsy bag. Extremely cute, and since Rebecca Minkoff is known for her expensive taste and supreme quality, I have high expectations for the many uses this bag will serve for me in the future.
1. NYX butter gloss in Eclair- http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-191-butter-gloss.aspx $5.00
This was a full size product. Already one that I know that I will love as I already own one of these in my ever growing lip product collection. I do not have this peachy pink color and cannot wait to try it out in this upcoming week.
2. Eau de parfum REALTREE for her - http://www.realtreebeauty.com/?1 $24.00
Received a sample of this perfume. The actual amount is not listed on the sample bottle unfortunately The full size product is 3.4 fl oz. The scent is one that I like, but may be a little heavy for some during the summer months. I tend to like the heavier scents and am actually planning on using this sample right away. The REALTREE website describes the scent as,
"Realtree for Her opens up with the sweet taste of pomegranate, a hint of persimmon and an exotic scent of orchids. It blends with lotus blossom and champaca flower and it’s followed by the rich scent of amber, the transient scent of violets and the depth of mahogany wood."
I'm thinking it's the mahogany wood and amber that give it that sort of "deep" smell.
3. Nicka K Shimmer eyeliner in Blue - http://www.nicka.com/navigation-menu/eye/eyeliner/liquid/shimmer-eyeliner $4.99
I received a full size of this product. It is a liquid eyeliner that is could be described as a "foil" liner. I swatched it on my hand, and am already impressed. It is extremely pigmented and the brush allows for you to draw any width line that you are interested in. It also dried quickly and stayed on my hand for the remainder of the day. I can't wait to give this a try!
4. ORFA eyebrow pencil in UNIVERSAL - http://ofracosmetics.com/absolutebrowpencil.aspx $13.00
Another full size product. I have been experimenting quite a bit with my eyebrows. I have only found a couple of pencils that truly match my eyebrows enough to make me feel comfortable. Here's hoping that this "universal" color will be a match.
5. Carol's Daughter SACRED TIARE (anti-breakage & anti-frizz) styling cream - http://www.carolsdaughter.com/Sacred-Tiare-Styling-Cream.html?BCID=48BE04CAEDC0 $12.00
The sample I received is 0.5 oz...full size is 3.0. This item is listed on the Carol's Daughter website as exclusively sold at Target, but I did find it available online through the Ipsy website on on various places like amazon, ebay, etc. Seeing as how I have just recently started wearing my hair in it's natural state, I am very curious as to how this will work. I haven't done much research on these products, but plan on giving this a try to combat some of my natural frizz.
This month's Ipsy bag has a retail value of $58.99. Not bad since I only paid $10 dollars!! Lots of items that I am eager to try!! Be on the lookout for a review in the upcoming weeks!!
