May Ipsy Bag 2014 "Beauty's Fresh Picks"
This month's picks were interesting and I had fun trying them out. I will list all the products below with some description of each and my review for each.
Classic Sport SPF50 by Hang Ten
-Protect and nourish your skin with our clear, lightweight, naturally scented sunscreen. Provides maximum water resistance and full body coverage against harmful UVA/UVB rays.
-Now that the warm weather has hit us and I'll be spending most of my days outdoors I need something that will protect me but also that is natural.
Mineral Eyeshadow Duo in #2 Moonbeam & Unicorn by Pacifica
-The Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow Duo are coconut infused mineral eye shadows that are a perfect addition to any makeup collection.
-I really love Pacifica I haven't tried any eye shadows these are the first and I'm really happy with the results. They are super pigmented as you can tell from the swatches I did. I also found if you add a white base they will show up even better. The ivory color called "Unicorn" is a gorgeous highlight color. To create a soft smokey eye use "Moonbeam" its a greyish violet color with some shimmer.
Thermal Spring water by Avene
-Avène Thermal Spring Water is the only thermal spring water bottled directly from the source and packaged in a sterile environment to guarantee purity and maximum skin benefits. It says it's suppose to soothe inflammation, itching, redness, general sensitivity and post-medical and aesthetic procedure irritation as it softens, protects and purifies the skin.
-I've never tried anything like this I think the whole concept is awesome Spring water in a bottle. It feels nice on the skin and refreshing. I researched the price and it cost $12 a bottle which I think is a bit expensive. I don't think I'd actually buy it I will probably try and make my own.

The Olive Lip Balm in Refreshing Rosemary by Olive Natural Beauty
-The Olive Lip Balm is packed with Olive Natural Beauty’s organic jojoba and extra virgin olive oil for light enduring moisture with no added synthetics or chemicals.
-This is the only product I didn't like from everything I got this month. I'm not a fan of the scent of Rosemary. I know its good for your lips and its all natural but after using it for a day I couldn't handle the scent.
Hydra balance moisturizer by Pur-lisse
-Gently smooth over face day or night after cleansing and toning. Glides on like a gel and hydrates like a cream and never greasy. Hydates your skin to create a perfect canvas for makeup application. Dries down to a healthy glow.
-I really liked this product I used it a few times before applying my makeup and it gave me a clean and fresh face to work with. It wasn't too harsh on my skin which I was happy about. I don't think I'd buy the full size since I already use other products. I was happy to try it out maybe in the future I will purchase it.
I was super excited for this month's picks I loved all the products I received and I'm glad I got them all. I will list all the products below with some description of each and my review for each.
Lash out mascara by Be A Bombshell
-A rich pigmented mascara with a lengthening formula that offers a multidimensional look.
-I really like this brand but its my first time trying their mascara and I really liked it. In the past we were sent mini samples so I was happy this one was full size. I don't think I would buy another one until I finish the ones I have.
Dream waves beach spray by Marc Anthony
-Create natural, effortless, beach hair worn loose, soft and wavy. It adds body and texture to straight, fine strands or pumps up the curl in already wavy hair. Powerful UV Protectors absorb ultraviolet light to save your mane from harmful sun exposure, dehydration and color-fade. You’re left with manageable, touchable waves. Even the straightest hair can achieve tousled beach hair any time of year.
-I really love this product my hair is naturally wavy so adding this spay helps achieve those beachy waves. Also the scent is just amazing smells like coconut which is heaven for me. I received another product like this from "Big Sexy Hair" and I absolutely loved it. I was happy they sent another similar product I may do a comparison post soon.
Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel by NYX
-Buttery soft and silky smooth, the scrumptious new NYX Butter Lip Gloss tastes as sweet as a sugar cookie—and makes your lips look downright luscious. Swipe it on alone or over your favorite lipstick for creamy sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky.
-This was the product I couldn't wait to get my hands on I didn't even care what color I got because they were all beautiful. It was another full size product which I was happy about and I will definitely be buying other colors.
Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner by Jesse's Girl
-This true black liquid liner creates a bold, precise, ultra-fine line that's both waterproof and smudge-proof. The unique, caligraphy-style brush allows you to create lines as thin as one millimeter!
-I've had other liquid eyeliners and wasn't impress this one just glides on which I love. It creates the thinnest lines to thicker if you wish. Another full size product.
NEW! BB Cushion by Laneige
-The revolutionary, “5-in-one under the sun” skin care in a compact. Powered by SPF 50 broad-spectrum UVA, UVB protection, the synergy of its exclusive Cushion Form technology and unique application hydrates, brightens, color corrects and soothes all skin types, all day. Fine lines are filled; coverage is complete, skin looks flawless, luminous.
-I haven't tried it yet but I've seen some people use it and it looks soo cool I will definitely be doing a review
