September Street Style Glam Bag Review

I have enjoyed my time playing with the items I received in this month's bag. So now it is time for me to share with you what I liked and did not like about my items in the bag. Let's begin:

1.  Mitchell and Peach luxury hand cream. It is very nourishing and hydrating. It has a rich formula. It is blended with vitamin E, ahead butter and English honey. I really liked the scent of this hand cream. It has a light and fresh, clean scent. It smells a bit lemony, laveneder, I can't quite pin point the precise scent but it smells quite exquisite. I work in a clinic so I am constantly washing my hands, therefore they get dry and cracked. But since I had this hand cream on me in my handy Ipsy bag i was able to pamper My hands asap. This is one item i did enjoy and do recommend.

2. Cailyn Tinted Lip Gloss color Love Affair: I liked the color. It is a burgundy-wine color, which is very "in" for fall. But that is all I liked about this product. I just dont Luke the formula. It chapped my lips. It seems to be made from petroleum jelly. And when applied on the lips, I just dont feel it does much for me. I am aware it is a tint, but I feel it doesnt work well enough for the price and color pay off. I personally do not Like this gloss, and would not buy or recommend this to anyone. Oh, and just an fyi, it is completely scent free, to some it might be a good or bad thing.

3. Nourish Organic Cucumber and Watercress face cleanser: This is very very organic lol. And what I mean by that is it has no scent added. It is in its natural soap scent. Which some people find off putting. I personally do not mind it. It is jus natural, the way it was originally intended. Non of that artificial scented stuff. I use it daily in the shower. It is strong enough to wash away my makeup and impurities from the daily grind, yet gentle enough to use on a daily basis. After using my face feels clean. But I do recommend you use a good moisturizer afterwards. But like I said, if scent is something you are very picky/sensitive, you might re think this one because it does have that natural, good ol' days soap scent. But it is a good gentle cleanser.

4. Crownbrush Crease/Shadow brush: I really like the quality of the bristlea of this brush! They feel so soft on my eyes. They are soft but the perfect amount of resistance to pack on the shadow. And since I have small eyes, I really like the size of the brushes, the fit perfectly in my eye not too big like other brushes out on the market. The crease brush was great because it was sturdy and gave me great control when applying the shadow. Even the handle felt of great quality. Before getting this in my Ipsy bag, I had never hear of Crown Brush, now I am definitely going to look into more of their brushes. This, I think, is,my favorite of all the items in the bag. I definitely recommend you try this out for yourselves!

5. Pacifica natural minerals eye liner: I was really excited to tey thia liner. The color was very pretty and differwnt from what I have. It is a gunmetal color. I normally only use the classic black or brown, so I was excited when I saw this in my bag. When I tried to swatched the color on my wrist and it just crumbled! Thats very dissapointing because it makes it difficult when applying on the eye. But I did like the color. But I dont like the consistency, and since it needs to glide on easily since it is in a sensitive area, the eye, I probably wont be purchasing this. I dont like to have to tug with the eye liner. Plus, there is hardly any color pigmentation, it smudges away very easily and you are just left with hardly noticeable shimmer. I do not like!

Well this sums up my review. I hope you find it helpful and enjoyed.

And dont forget to stop by YouTube channel, I shared a Street Style Ipsy inspired nail design:

Well this is it for this month. See you in a few!

September Ipsy Glam Bag: Street Style

Aaaahhhh, September! Schools are back in session, the leaves are changing, the weather is changing, and apparently so did my Ipsy Glam Bag. And let me tell you, I HATED IT!!!!!! But, I am getting ahead of myself. I'll start at the beginning.

As always, I was actually trying to keep the contents of my glam bag a surprise. But I somehow got into the sneek peek they offer. So that went out the door. One I was in the sneek peek room, I saw what they were sending in my bag.  First of all the theme of this month is "Street Style". And I saw they were sending me hand creams, and face cleansers, and not the things that caught my eye in the teasers they were showing thruout the week. Some of the other items they were showing were nail polishes and a nice deep red lipstick, and other makeup items that I really wanted to try out. So I was really upset and confused when I saw they were sending me all these skincare items instead of what "I wanted".

So a few days later I get my glam bag in the mail and I open it. I start going through the items and reading the containers... And BAM! it hits,me! I remembered last month I had an epiphany and modified my Ipsy beauty survey. Last month I was thinking about how beauty starts not with the makeup. Makeup just enhances what already is there, so I should take care of it now instead of trying to fix or correct the "foundation" later. So I decided to modify my survey to put more emphasis on skin care. And you know what Ipsy did... They listened, and sent exactly what I asked for! So I will give these items a try and will return with a review. In the meantime, here is a picture and a list of items I received

1. Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand Cream.

2. Cailyn Tinted lip gloss

3. Nourish Organic Cucumber and Watercress face cleanser

4. Pacifica natural minerals eye liner

5. Crownbrush Crease/Shadow brush

August Ipsy Glam Bag Review

Okay fellow Ipsters! The time has come for me to give you my true and honest opinion on these items. So here it is.... and as always , feel free to express yourselves in the comment sections below if you feel differently as I do of any of these products. Or better yet, if you have tips and tricks that might change my opinion, those are especially welcomed!

Klorane Dry Shampoo: This has a very nice subtle clean scent. Very straight forward instructions. It says to just shake well, spray, let sit for about two minutes and then brush out. It has a nice cooling effect. All it really is is powder. So make sure you brush it out well otherwise you look like you have premature white hairs. It worked well. I only sprayed it on certain area of my hair to test it out and i did notice and feel a difference. On the area I sprayed it, I saw my hair no longer had that greasy look and it did not look weighed down. My hair also felt different, "dry" in a good way, in a non greasy way. In general i did like the product, the one negative thing I can say is that it wastes away rather quickly. With about two sprays I almost finished the bottle( keep in mind this was just the sample bottle that came in my ipsy bag).

J Cat Beauty Eye Shadow Flying Solo in Half Naked: Let me start with the pakaging... I do not really like it. I mean, it's cute how it has a cute mirror and shadow and a brush all in one (even though the brush is one of those cheap spongee applicators). But it seems they gave more room for the tiny minature useless brush applicator than to the shadow itself. They probably could have used that space for another shadow, or at least a larger amount of shadow. The color that came in my Ipsy bag was very pretty though. It is called Half Naked and it is a very nice champagne like color. Very cremy and smooth. Shimmery.

Urban Decay Perversion Bigger Blacker Badder Mascara:
I am So glad I received this in my Ipsy bag! But not because of what you think! If I would have gone and paid the full price for this mascara I would have been so upset!!!! Yes you read right! This mascara is so over rated in my case. It did nothing for me. At least nothing any generic mascara has done for me. Actually, i have a $7 mascara that works much better that this. Thanks to this sample I received in y Ipsy bag I saved my self from wasting that money I was so close to wasting in buying that mascara at full price because of all the hype it was receiving. At least now I can say I tried it and I know I didn't like it and it did not cost an arm and a leg!

Dr Brandt Pores no more: I will remain honest in my reviews, with that being said, I feel I need more time with this baby so I can give an honest true review. So I will continue to play with it and will come back with a later review.

Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo: This mouthful is basically an anti aging lip conditioner. And its organic. It is not as sticky as i expected which is good. It did help with my chapped cracked lips rather quickly and did not make worse like other oil based lip products. I like the "flavor" it came in, Mandarin green orange ginger, very citrus! It is cruelty free, organic, and fresh citrus scents, make it perfect for these hot summer months!

Well I hope you enjoyed my reviews for this months bag. I want to continue playing with the Dr Brandt Pores no more.... Kind of disappointed with the Urban Decay mascara, I had high hopes for it.
