The preparation for summer continued in Ipsy’s June bag themed Pretty
in Paradise. The products offered are perfect for the hot summer nights and
vacation time. I thought that the bag
was very cute, but I don’t like the placement of the zipper! It’s hard to place
some products in there (for example pencil eyeliners).
Now for the products:
Ipsy introduced me to the Be A Bombshell brand and I have enjoyed each
one of their products that I have received. I am just tired of getting
mascaras! I am actually looking to trade this with a friend.
This mascara is supposed to lengthen your lashes and give them a full
and feathered look. Be A Bombshell recommends users to apply 2-3 coats for a
dramatic look.
I fell in love with this eyeliner! This Nicka K liner is great because
it glides on easily (and pretty thin) AND it’s water proof AND smudge proof!
Once you get it on, it is not coming off. I had a hard time removing it with
eye makeup remover! So this is perfect for the hot summer nights or for a pool
party.
Ipsy subscribers received the liners in the colors blue or green. I was
very happy to get it in green because I already have a few blue liners. The
green is bright and shiny and is great to wear on a date night or any day
during the summer. I am very happy with this product.
NYX is another brand that I have been very happy with ALL of their
products, so any bag with a NYX product is going to be a great! I had heard of
the NYX Butter Lipsticks on Jaclyn Hill’s YouTube channel (if you don’t know
who she is, you have to check out her videos… she’s amazing!) and I have been
wanting to try the lipsticks and glosses ever since. I don’t know why I haven’t
tried them before! These glosses apply so soft that it feels like silky butter
(hmmmm)! Plus they smell great!
I received the gloss in Apple Strudel, which is a very light
pinkish/peachy color and it is very glossy. NYX has a great color selection so
you must go out and try them!
Oh how I was looking forward to trying out this product! This is a sea
salt (from the Pacific Ocean), charcoal exfoliant that is supposed to clear up
impurities and brighten your skin. The directions say to blend a small amount
with water or use your wet hands and gently scrub your face. Imagine taking big
pieces of sea salt and rubbing it all over your face… just picture it… sounds
like it would hurt, right?... that is EXACTLY how it felt! It’s like they took
sea salt, dyed it, and threw it in a container and said that this would be great
for your skin. Not only did my face hurt (and yes I was very gentle with the scrubbing)
it was red for a while! This is not a product that I recommend or that I would
try ever again.
I was excited to get this product, but I have not used it. I am
planning to use it this weekend when I straighten my hair again.
I love Dove because it is a trusted brand, affordable, and you can
purchase it just about anywhere. This oil is supposed to make your hair 5 times
silkier without making it greasy or oily. The oil also smells great! I can’t
wait to try it out.
Overall, I was happy with my Ipsy bag.
I would give it a 3.5 out of 5… I removed half a point for the mascara
(which is probably great, but I have received sooooo many mascaras from Ipsy)
and a full point for the clariSea. All the bags can’t be perfect!
Have you ever received a product that you did not like? What was the
product? What did you not like about it?
