IPSY - June 2015 - Swim Into Beauty

Another month, another IPSY glambag :) This month's theme is "Swim Into Beauty". I am loving the adorable monthly glam bag designs. 

The bag this month is a neoprene black fabric with "ispy" embossed into it. The zipper is a fluorescent orange/pink. What a cute color combo!

IT Cosmetics - Brow Power universal eyebrow pencil in taupe
0.07g/ 0.0025 oz   value: $12

Strong brows are making quite a comeback in the beauty world. This sleek eyebrow pencil works universally for most tones. The pencil itself does not require a sharpener and the opposite side has a spooly end.


Aurora - Gel Effect nail polis hin 4 Alarm Fire
*Full size* 0.42 fl oz/ 12 ml   value: $9

This gel polish packs a punch. The color is a gorgeous red with hints of pink. Gel finishes are super in right now and the formula is long lasting. Also, full size bonus!!


Too Face - Melted Liquified long wear lipstick in Melted Candy
5ml/ 0.16 fl oz    value: $8.50

Now this is a brand I've tried before! I've heard rave reviews about this Melted line of liquid lipsticks.  This bag is certainly a trendy one. Brows, Gel nails and now liquid lipstick. I'm so excited to try out all these upcoming beauty trends with the glambag. This lipstick is a bold hue, but I'm loving it. Definitely will be swiped across my lips before I hit the town with my girls.

BioRepublic Skincare - Mask Trio (Green Tea Detox, Aloe Rescue, Cucumber Breeze)
three masks    value: $15

These soothing fiber masks leave your skin feeling rejuvenated. The Aloe Rescue is essential for soothing your skin after a day in the sun. The Green Tea Detox will give your face the detox it desperately needs. Finally the Cucumber Breeze will leave you face feeling refreshed. Loving them all!!

Tre'StiQue - mini shadow crayon in Kona Coffee
0.02oz   value: $11

I think everyone has mentioned they searched their bag for the cap to this shadow crayon - surprise! It's actually the cute packaging design. This mini shadow is perfect to throw in your bag for touchups. I like the dark brown shade to put on the crease of my eyelid.


This months' glambag boasts a value of $55.50.  I am extremely pleased with everything I receive this month and will use all the products. I love how IPSY is staying on top of the beauty trends and providing subscribers with sample to test them out.

Walmart Beauty Box - Summer 2015

I decided to subscribe to Walmart's quarterly beauty box. They send out specifically designed boxes for each season. I've read that they send two types of boxes depending on the age of the subscriber.

One Direction - You & I fragrance
1.5 ml/ 0.05 fl oz value: $2

Nivea - soft moisturizing creme
0.84 oz/ 23 g   value: $1

This fragrance includes splashes of mango and refreshing grapefruit along with floral scents. There are background notes of musk and sandalwood.

Nivea is a great brand for lotions. Use this moisturizing creme on your face, body and hands. It has a very thick texture for superior softening of your skin.


Jergens - Natural Glow daily moisturizer
3 pack/ 24ml   value: $1

Get ready for the summer by using this daily moisturizer to bring out your natural glow. This sample packet allows you use for 3 days to see color results fast. The scent is reminiscent of a tanning salon.


Revlon - Ultra HD lipstick in Gladiolus
*Full size* 0.1oz/ 3g  value: $8

This full size lipstick alone covers the cost of the beauty box. I'm loving the pop of red that this color gives my lips. The formula makes your lips feel moisturized, so it's great for long wear.

John Frieda - Beach Blonde Sea Waves sea salt spray
30ml/ 1 fl oz  value: $1.50

This texturizing spray creates carefree tousled styles. The spray itself smells like a pina colada which I am all about.

Neutrogena - Healthy Volume mascara

Create full and healthy lashes with this mascara. The wand features BIG bristles to grab all your lashes. The conditioning formula includes a touch of olive to plump lashes from the inside out.

Aveeno - Protect & Hydrate sunscreen

Protect and hydrate your summer skin with this sunscreen lotion. It has broad spectrum SPF 30. It helps reverse skin dehydration with nourishing out.

Ken Paves - You Are Beautiful shampoo/ conditioner
sample   value: $1

This shampoo and conditioner duo is formulated for fine hair. It adds fullness and body while gentling cleansing. It contains 100% essential oils and it's paraben and sulfate free.

The total value of this beauty box is $20, not bad for a box that is only $5. These are all staples required during the summer months so I will be using the products.
