June & July Ipsy Review

June 2013

"On The Wild Side"

This month is more on the Wild side as you can tell from the Title. All the products came in this leopard print bag with a bright neon green zipper detail. As for the products and colors chosen I'm a bit worried I won't be able to pull them off but we will see if they make my favorites for June-July. I thnk the only products I really liked were the Eye pencil highlighter and the NYX Blush. I wasn't thrilled with the otehr 3 for 1 I don't really wear eyelashes and 2nd the color chosen for the lip pencil is not a color I would wear.

If I'm feeling wild I may actually wear them lol

As for the cream Eyeshadows I actually swatched them and there's a lot of sparkle that falls out I don't know how it looks on the eyes but so far not liking it. Also it didn't feel to me as cream so not sure what that is all about.

So far I haven't actually tested all the products to the fullest so I can't really say if they are good or not but first impression not liking this months picks. I still LOVE Ipsy and I wouldn't cancel it just because this bag wasn't my fave but I was just not happy with some of my picks.

"Beach Beauty"

I absolutely loved this month picks, I loved all the products and I tried every single one so I could do a review on all the products.

The first product which I've been obsessed with is the “Sexy hair” Beach spray. First off I need to say its such a perfect size to put in your purse or beach bag. The next thing I absolutely love the scent it has such a beachy scent I love it. I also love that it has argon oil which is great and because I have natural wavy hair it gives me a nice beachy look. This is perfect for giving your hair some texture even if your hair isn’t wavy or curly.

The best way to use this product is after you washed your hair and you’ve towel dried your hair. Your hair shouldn’t be completely wet and then spray away and scrunch your hair while you spray. It gives your hair soo much more volume and texture and an amazing beachy smell.

The second product is the “COOLA” Mineral Sunscreen. It’s also a tinted moisturizer and is made with organic ingredients. It has a SPF of 20 and the scent is just like the spray a beachy scent which I love.

I love this product because it gives a light coverage but protects your face from the sun while you’re out in the sun. I like applying a bit of BB cream and then adding this on top. For my skin I don’t need a lot of coverage which I’m thankful for.

Third product which is another favorite of mine is the “bh Cosmetics” California Collection eyeshadows samples. They took 3 main colors from 3 of their new palettes “Hollywood” “San Francisco” “Malibu” and put them into one. I absolutely love the packaging and all 3 colors. I love bh Cosmetics I own some other eyeshadows palettes and the colors are gorgeous. They are soo vibrant and there isn’t a lot of fallout which happens with other eyeshadows.

The fourth item I got was “POP” Pouty pop crayon in “Fuchsia Flirt” I really like the packaging and it’s a great size. At first I didn’t know if I’ll be able to pull it off because I don’t really wear bright lip colors I go for more of the nude pinks and nude colors. The first time I wore it I absolutely loved it, I love the color on me and you can build the color as you go. I like to apply a lip balm before and then add this and apply a nude gloss on gloss I think it’s a great combo. I really liked the other colors as well they were more nude and pink but it’s nice to try something different.

You can also just wear it alone to give you a hint of color to your lips while you’re at the beach or sitting by the pool.

The last product I was kind of disappointed not with the product itself but the color. I got “Nailtini” in Mai Tai, it’s an orange nail polish. I really love the brand I’ve gotten 2 others in the past and loved the colors but I’m not a fan of orange. The bottle is full sized which is amazing and the brand name is really cute. For me personally orange doesn’t look good on me so I’ll probably give this to a friend
