August Ipsy Review

August 2013

"Glamour Academy"

This month I found the products were good but they could of been better. Every few months they have about 10 different products and then 5 items are chosen depending on the quiz you did when you signed up. You can re-take the quiz to change the items you get every month. For example if you don’t like the nail brand they give don’t add nail items to your list.

The first item which I was happy to see was a Pumpkin face mask, I think they were preparing us for the autumn season lol. It’s from Michael Todd an Organic brand visit their website to see what other products are sold.  http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/

If you don’t like Pumpkin you won’t like this product becasue it has a strong scent. I love this scent and it feels great on the skin. It has a orange color and it tingles a bit that means its working. It says because of the Glycolic Acid some people may get irritated to it if so wash it off.  I suggest you use it before you go to bed becasue after washing your face off it gives your face an orange tint. It doesn’t show but you can tell especially if your pale like me.

The next product is the NYX Blush/Bronzer Powder, I really like it gives a nice color and it feels like on the skin.

The next was a lip balm which I like its from Noya and its a Natural product which I like. It was a Cherry flavor I think it was the only flavor it came in.

The next 2 items wasn’t that thrilled the first was a Lash Booster Mascara from Pixi and the second was a Cheek Stain from City Color. If you don’t know the brand Pixi its quit pricey and I’m thrilled to get products from them but I’m tired of getting mascara samples I don’t find they work well. This one says Lash Booster I don’t really see any boost. I never heard of City Color I’m sure its a good brand but I’m not crazy about cheek stains. I don’t wear blush I usually just wear bronzer and if I do wear blush I wouldn’t wear this color. This color which is called “Pink” is too bright for me.
