July Glam Bag

My first Ipsy Glam Bag has arrived! I have been tortured with anticipation since I signed up for my subscription back in June and my first Glam Bag has finally arrived :)
If you've never heard of Ipsy or any beauty subscription like it, please let me tell you about this little piece of magic I have recently welcomed into my life...When you subscribe to an Ipsy Glam Bag you take a personalized beauty quiz so that Ipsy knows you, your style, look, and desires a little better. Then, Ipsy will send you a Glam Bag once a month (just $10!!) with 4-5 beauty products that Ipsy thinks you might like, based on your beauty quiz! With every product that I received in my bag, I got a coupon for my next purchase, so nice! Michelle Phan curates the bags herself and a lovely community of "Ipsters" has been formed.
If you're interested in signing up, feel free to click here and it only takes a few minutes! 
Make sure to take the extra steps to skip the wait list. My bestie was on the waitlist for months until she realized she could skip by basically just sharing it on her FaceBook, so easy! I was immediately subscribed because I skipped the wait :)
So anyways, here is my first Glam Bag from Ipsy for July:



I haven't used lip or cheek stains much prior to this little goodie. It's a beautiful "Cherry" color that really brightens my lips and is so light that it doesn't feel like I have anything on! Perfect for when I'm just running out for some errands. My favorite part of all is probably the yummy taste & smell and the adorable packaging!!
With this item I received a BOGOFree coupon for Elizabeth Mott, I'll definitely be using it soon.


I was, easily, the most excited about this guy. Please note that this is a full sized bronzer, not a sample size. How awesome is that? While the packaging is just too adorable on it's own, the product itself is to die for. The color pay off is great. It's such a beautiful glowing bronzed color with shimmer, but not too shimmery by any means. I will definitely 100% be buying this product again. I'll be sure to use my 25% off coupon courtesy of Ipsy as well


This product is moisturizing, but smells a lot like sunscreen, which I'm not a huge fan of unless I'm at the beach for a day or something. I used it on my face and I didn't get sunburnt so in that aspect it worked! If you are really into sunblock then maybe this is something to look into. I am not therefore I don't have a very good review for it. I have been putting it on in the morning because it's been soooo hot and sunny in Oregon this summer and it doesn't irritate my face. Big win there! I'll still be visiting the manufacturer website to see if there's anything else that I want to try since I have my 30% off coupon.

This is a daily body lotion that claims to prevent environmental oxidation. This is a sample bottle and I haven't been using it much so I can't review their claims. I love that it's organic and the citrus-ginger helps to balance digestion and increase positivity. I am all about that! I may just use my 50% off coupon to purchase a full size bottle.

Shame on me! When I first saw this little bugger I wrote it off and opted for the cool bronzer and lip stain. As you see, I didn't even bother getting a very good picture for it back when I took pictures after I unboxed! Seriously, Shame On ME! I have been using this product everyday since I unboxed my Glam Bag. It is my favorite of all! I have absolutely no clue what shade it is, but I want to buy every single shade that BareMinerals has to offer. This cream goes on so smooth and blends so nicely. The coverage is amazing. If you want it to be darker, just add more on. It looks so nice with my UD Naked palette as well. I can't stress enough how beautiful this BB Cream Shadow is, but I hope everyone goes to Ulta and tries it out!


So there is my first Glam Bag! I am very satisfied with all my products. I estimated based on size and price of the items that the Glam Bag values at over $50 and I got it for only $10! Thank you so much Ipsy! 


Any one else have beauty subscriptions? I am so obsessed!
Hope you're all having a wonderful Monday
