Ipsy May Bag

Ipsy’s May bag was themed: Beauty’s Fresh Picks. All of the products that I received are great to use year round, but for me it felt like it was a “get ready for summer” bag! All of the products reminded me of summer… sunblock, curly hair cream, and products to take care of my skin! The bag itself is very cute.  It is a light canvas bag with green leaves on one side. This has become one of my favorite Ipsy bags!




What did I get?  Just these great products:

What is the first thing you need when summer approaches? Sunblock!  I love the smell of sunblock.  It reminds me of when I was a little girl and during the summer my parents would pack up the car and we would meet the rest of the family at the beach and spend the whole day enjoying the sun, water, food, and of course a good game of balloon fighting! So yes, I was happy to get sunblock. This SPF 50 sunblock from Hang Ten is paraben free, fragrance free (it has the natural sunblock scent), non-greasy, and is lightweight. This is one of the BEST sunblocks that I have every tried!




I love the Pacifica brand. I learned about it through Ipsy and now my local Target sells it. Pacifica has a lot of great products so of course I love the mineral eyeshadow duo that I received in my bag. I received the duo in #2, which is Moonbeam & Unicorn… a nice light purple and a shimmery pearl. The shadows are nicely pigmented and are great for a date night on vacation.
And… how cool is it that the duo was customized just for Ipsy?!?!




I have received a few face scrubs from Ipsy, but this is the first microdermabrasion scrub and I LOVE it! This derma e product received a lot of great reviews from the subscribers that received it. This exfoliator is cruelty free, paraben free, and 100% vegan! It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines AND it left my skin feeling incredibly silky and smooth! I will definitely be purchasing this when I run out of my deluxe sample.




I was excited to finally receive a product for my curly hair! I have been straightening my hair a lot and I feel that I needed to take a break from it. Let the curls come out!
This Eva NYC curl cream has argan oil and keravis protein. I took it with me on my beach vacation and I couldn’t believe that it gave me the smooth beautiful curls that I miss!




I was a little iffy about this product, but I was very happy to get it in my bag after I tried it out. This body balm has shea butter, which nourishes the skin. As the cute Lulu Blossom tin container says, it is great for the cuticles, cracked hands, feet, and elbows, AND you can apply a small amount to control those pesky frizzies in your hair! It’s summer (and Florida) so I’m pretty much living in cute flip flops and sandals so this is great for my feet. Another product that is definitely worth purchasing!





Oh… I almost forgot. I received an e-mail from Ipsy apologizing for sending me a repeat item in my April bag (the eyeshadow brush, which I was very happy with). In the e-mail they said that I could pick whether I wanted an extra item in my May bag or get extra points… I picked the extra item.  I received the Avene Thermal Spring Water. This spray soothes inflammation, itching, redness, general sensitivity, and protects and purifies the skin. I have not tried this product yet, but will do so soon (I should have taken it on vacation!).



This was another great bag that I will give a 5 out of 5! I enjoyed all of the products that I received and I will definitely be using them all up! I highly recommend each product and would purchase each and every one of them. Plus, the bag is adorable!
Thanks Ipsy for another great bag!
