Hey loves, how are you all doing? Today I am going to share my ipsy bag for August 2015. I actually really like this months bag! The theme this month is prep school, perfect for this time of the year and with kiddos going back to school. I'm personally not going to school but that's ok, I like the bag and the theme.
It's funny ipsy is always hit and miss on a month to month bases but luckily this month was a hit for me.
Let's start with the actual bag, it is so cute! I love the houndstooth print but if I am being 100% honest the pink zipper makes the bag so stinking cute! I love the black, white and pink combo. The bag itself is made from this plastic material, which honestly I prefer because I can always wipe it down.
Next up is the:
Marsk Pro Line Eye Shadow Brush
What it claims to do:
These bristles have been precisely shaped to create the perfect eye
look. Whether you’re going for subtle or loud – this secret weapon of a
brush will execute the perfect look when paired with MARSK Mineral
Eyeshadows! What a combination
What I think:
I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE getting brushes in my ipsy bag. I have been able to use this brush a few times and I actually really like it. It's soft and perfect for packing on the eye shadow on your eyelids. I used it completely dry and also wet it with a setting mist and each time it worked wonderful.
Next up is the:
Pixi Beauty Bronzer in Summertime
What it claims to do:
This bronzing powder gives your complexion the warmth and luminosity of
naturally
sunkissed skin. Hydrating, silky-smooth & long-wearing, it also
protects against free radicals. Contains Vitamin E to protect the skin
and mica, which provides dense natural pigment.
Ok here is the deal with this product, this was actually not technically a part of my ipsy bag this month is was a points perk redemption. I haven't opened, swatched or tested this yet. I have so many bronzers that I didn't want to open this one when I have others to use up. PLUS it was sent to me for redeeming points. This is my first Product so I am excited to try it out.
Next up we have:
Doucce Ultra Precision Eye Liner in black
What it claims to do:
The Liner is an ultra precise moulded plastic eye pencil that provides a
soft application that lasts. The smooth and velvety waterproof formula
glides on easily for seamless blending.
What I think:
The pencil glides on extremely easily, it is definitely soft. I used it 3 days in a row in my waterline and it seemed to stay on there all day. I really like this pencil and I love that I got it in black, an actual practical color that I can use.
Next up:
Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco Oil Treatment
What it claims to do:
This treatment is a lightweight oil used daily for strong, glossy,
frizz-free hair. Whether your hair is curly, straight, thick or thin,
this Argan Oil Treatment will become a daily staple in your beauty
regimen.
Created with Mediterranean Olive Oil and Moroccan Argan Oil – the
ancestral beauty secret of Morocco – it deeply penetrates to fortify,
protect and condition hair. Vitamin E and Shea Butter hydrate and
soften.
What I think:
I used this after I showered with my hair wet for the first time and I let my hair dry naturally. I noticed that it really did dry with very little frizz. I then used it the following day but waited for my hair to be damp verses fully wet and again it did a fabulous job drying my hair with little to no frizz. Overall I really like Marc Anthony hair products and this is no exception. I will continue to use it.
Next up is the:
Hikari Cosmetics in Merlot
What it claims to do:
Check out Hikari’s collection of gorgeous, high-shine matte lip
glosses. With these high-pigment lip glosses you can wear them alone or
layer them over your favorite lipstick to create intense new colors.
They will give you the perfect sultry lip with just the right amount of
shine!
What I think:
This is a beautiful lip gloss. I love my Hikari lipstick so I had high hopes for this already. This is a gorgeous fall color. It is a thicker gloss and a little sticky but I don't mind that at all. My favorite lip glosses come in a tube form and are from Lancome (juicy tubes) and those are extremely thick and sticky so any ways yea the Hikari isn't that bad at all. I love the sleek packaging and the doe foot applicator.
Last but certainly not least we have:
Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in Elegantly Wasted
What it claims:
”If you enjoy yourself, it’s not really a waste - it’s your
prerogative.” Trust Fund Beauty is a quick-drying, chip resistant polish
comes in cute bottles complete with some seriously sassy names. Plus,
it’s 7-free, non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free. Don’t mind if we do!
What I think:
for starters I LOVE the name...ha ha ha. I also equally love the color. It's a mix of a soft grayish purple. It dried SUPER quick and lasted without chipping on me 3 days, not the best but honestly not the worst. I've had polishes chip on me on the first day of application. I love that it's non-toxic, vegan and cruelty free!.
Here are my nails with two coats of this beautiful color. I love this and will plan on using it a lot.
That's all folks ;)
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Much Love,
