I know you have all been holding your breath waiting for my
July Ipsy bag post! To be honest, I
was freaking out last week because it was already halfway through the month and
I hadn’t even gotten my tracking information yet. I spent my days stalking my email and its
spam folder for the tracking, searching for pictures of other people’s bags on instagram, and
eating my feelings in the form of cookie dough.
Then last Wednesday when I checked the mail, there it sat! The next day I got my tracking code email. Tracking Fail.
If getting full size and deluxe makeup samples of quality
brands in the mail sounds at all appealing to you, seriously check out
Ipsy! For $10 a month you get 4-5 items
as well as a makeup bag and online coupon codes for the featured brands. You can either subscribe month to month so
you can cancel at any time or subscribe for a year at a discounted rate!
This month’s theme was Sensationally
Sun Kissed. The items came in a
bright pink square makeup bag with scalloped edges. The bag is so cute and I will definitely get lots of use out of it! I was also really happy with
the items I got this month!

Nailtini in Mango Rita Full Size $13.00 – I was a less than enthused about this pale orange color when I first opened my bag. I'm more of a pink and red nail polish kind of girl but it's slowly starting to grow on me. The color has a hint of sparkle in it and I definitely don’t own another color like it. I've never tried Nailtini before, so I’m very interested to see how well it holds up. For $13 a bottle you would think it would be pretty high quality, but we'll see. https://www.tinibeauty.com/product/mango-rita_regular/
Bare Minerals 5 in 1 in Divine Wine; Full Size 3 ml $18.00, Deluxe Sample 1 ml $6.00 – My first impression of this eye shadow is that it looked like mud. Icky brown mud. I usually stick to neutrals anyway but this brown is kind of grey and dingy. However, I've used it a couple times now and when you layer other brighter colors on top of it, it doesn't look so blah. I was also a little disappointed in the formula. After wearing for about 8 hours, I could see creases in my eye shadow from where my eyelids close. Definitely not the look I was going for! I’m going to try using a little less next time so maybe that will fix the issue!
Hang Ten Dark Tanning
Oil SPF 08; Full Size 8 oz. $11.99, Deluxe Sample 1 oz. $1.49 – I don’t
normally use tanning oil, but I will definitely give this a try! It’s the same brand as the sunscreen that I
got in my bag a couple months ago and I love using that! Plus, this is the perfect size to bring on my
cruise! https://hangtensunscreen.com/shop/dark-tanning-oil-spf-08/
Clear Clinic
Vanished; Full Size 7.5 ml $35.00, Deluxe Sample 2 ml $9.32 – This product
is supposed to help diminish the appearance of facial blemishes. I was really excited that I got this, but now I'm just disappointed. I've been using it for almost a week
straight now on a few spots on my face and they have yet to go away! I would definitely not waste my money on
this! http://clearcliniclabs.com/product/vanished/
Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass in Cherry; Full Size $22.99 – This is definitely my favorite product this month! And can we just take a minute to admire the name? I’d never tried a tint before so I was really excited to get one. This is a great red color and I've already used it several times on my lips. It stays all day, although it does fade a bit through eating and drinking which is to be expected. I haven’t tried this on my cheeks yet and to be honest I’m a little intimidated by that idea. It's very pigmented so I'm pretty sure I would just end up with two red dots on my cheeks and not be able to blend it in. For now, I'll just use it on my lips! http://www.elizabethmott.com/shop/tints-and-sass-lip-tint/
This month the total value of the products in my bag was
$52.80! I am so pleased with Ipsy! It’s a great affordable way to try new things
that I otherwise wouldn't get to try! If
