Ipsy June

I've been subscribed to Ipsy since July of 2013 after seeing a pin of it on pinterest.

I LOVE get my package every month cause it feels like christmas.

To start theres a quiz you take and they ask questions like whats your skin tone, hair and eye color. They also ask you what best describes your style and your comfort level with makeup. Are you adventurous, what products do you like and what brands do you like. Where do you shop for your beauty products. What best describes your skin and hair. Then you choose a username and create your profile.

Everyone month you get a new makeup bag with 4-5 products for just $10 a month. Its an amazing way to try new products and colors.

This months theme is Pretty in Paradise and the bag was designed by Rebecca Minkoff. Its so pretty and great for traveling or for a day at the beach.


This month I received 5 products.

First product was Be A Bombshell Lash Out Mascara in Black. Its full sized. I love black mascaras and I like that this mascara isn't too wet or thick and drying. I didn't have a problem with flakes or clumps. The only thing I didn't like about this mascara was the smell of it. I was caught off guard and had to hold my breath while using.

Second product was Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray. You use to create sexy beach waves. I got a sample size. I love getting sample sizes of products like this because I'm able to test out new products I wouldn't normally buy to try out. I also don't have to worry about what to do with a product I barely used because I didn't like it. I've only tried this spray twice but I liked it. I don't think my waves were sexy, lol, but they were looking good. And that good enough for me.

Third product was Laneige BB Cushion Foundation. Its a sample size. It comes with three shades-Light, medium and dark; so you can customize a color for yourself if needed. The description states that the patted cushion air-pumps just the right amount of makeup and puts you in control to prime and perfect the texture. It allows you to customize the coverage and the finish naturally and easily.
To achieve flawless skin with the cushion form technology:
1. Brightens-reduces dark spots and unevenness to instantly create the appearance of luminous skin.
2. Protects-SPF 50+, UVA/UVB Broad Sprectrum blocks harmful rays.
3. Cools and Moisturizes-Mineral Water and 30% moisture hydrate, calm, and cool upon application.
4. Prevents Shine-sweat proof oil inhibitor regulates and prevents sebum buildup.
5. Perfects Long Lasting Coverage-The cushion creates seamless, ultra-smooth coverage and a super radiant finish throughout the day.
Its a tiny little cushion but I really liked this foundation and plan on purchasing this product which is sold exclusively at Target.

My fourth product is NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brûlée.
I LOVE NYX Butter Glosses and already have several. I really like Creme Brûlée and the softness of this shade. I can really use it for anytime of day or event. Its looks so good paired with so many different eye looks as well and alone with a bare face. This shade would look great on any skin tone.

My last product is NICKA K NEW YORK Shimmer Eyeliner in Green. Nicka Shimmer Eyeliner. There are 12 shimmer colors and 2 matte colors. I can't wait to get my hands on a few.
OMG!!!! I love this color which has shimmer and sparkle. Im so loving this product. The brush is strong but flexible and really hold the product well. Its such a light-weight formula with such amazing color pay off. Im absolutely in love with this product and plan on purchasing
