Hey babes! I'm super excited to share what I got in my July IPSY bag. The theme this month was "Sensationally Sunkissed" and all the products I received are perfect to create a quick and long-lasting Summer look. Before I jump into the actual products, can we all just look at how cute the bag is this month! It's a super neon pink (the pictures do no justice), faux leather, scalloped edge bag of cuteness. I'm super jazzed about this month's bag and the products inside, so if you want to see what I got, keep reading! <3
What IPSY says about this month's bag: Here comes the sun and a Glam Bag full of beauty products so good that even the sun would worship it. There isn't a gray cloud in sight this summer as we give you an amazing selection of brands and products fit to help keep you looking your best during summer's brightest days and warm long nights.
What I Got...
Big Sexy Hair Get Layered flash dry thickening hairspray
Full Size: $17.95
"Get Layered is packed with moisturizing agents that help condition and soften while allowing to layer without product build-up or leaving the hair dry. It has a buildable hold factor for great versatility. Offers a flash drying time and protection from humidity, frizz and damaging UVA/UVB rays."
-I really like this hairspray, especially for Summer. It's super light, dries fast, and gives nice hold with no crunchiness. This little guy is going into my purse right after this post is done!
Pur~Lisse Pur~Protect essential daily moisturizer SPF 30
Full Size: $55.00
"Stay protected with pure flower power. Our unique peptide complex, Lotus Lupine 5, and Hydra-Shield Complex boasts superior full-spectrum sun protection in a light-weight nourishing moisturizer. Skin is pampered and protected against premature aging caused by the day's rays."
-I tried this moisturizer out for the first time today and I really like it. It's light, but super hydrating; so it may not be the greatest for super oily skin, because it does give your skin a sheen. However, for my dry skin it felt super nice and it sank in pretty quickly. I've been a huge fan of the Pur~lisse skin care line for a while now, especially their moisturizers, so I expected good things. I also love that this has a great SPF in it, because it cuts down on products I have to use; and trust me living in the South, you NEED yo SPF!!
WHET Refined Nail Lacquer- Facetious
Full Size: $15.00
"Facetious is defined as playfully jocular or humorous, and that’s exactly how you’ll feel in this flashy shade from wHet Nail Polish. This chip resistant, high shine, vegan polish is "three free" and void of harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and dpd (dibutyle phthalate). Plus, it’s exclusively made in the USA, and never tested on animals."
-This polish is visually stunning, I mean look at how gorgeous that royal blue is, but I applied this polish to my toes last night and I just don't like it that much. It makes me sad to say that, because it looks so pretty and I love how eco-friendly the brand is, but for $15 your polish shouldn't go on thin and a little messy because the brush isn't great. Also the color turns to a not as pretty, navy blue. This polish is going to my sister, because I have nice polishes this color that actually show up true to color and look nice on my nails.
Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass fabulous lip & cheek stain- Cherry
Full Size: $22.99
"All day color that will kick some SASS! That’s right, we said it. Tints & Sass is the only head turning lip and cheek stain that gives you fail proof color every time! The non-drying formula lasts all day, even after a power lunch and yoga session, and was created to accommodate every second of a gal's busy schedule. The gentle and lightweight formula feels like it's barely there, unlike heavy lipsticks and rouges. The soft tipped applicator makes it ridiculously easy to swipe onto lips and the apples of the cheeks, creating a natural yet unforgettably sexy glow. "
-I LOVE this product! I'm a huge fan of that grungy/stained, just bitten, darker in the center type of lip that was big in the 90s; so I am all about this cherry colored lip and cheek stain. As soon as I got this in the mail, I just knew I had to put it on and I love how it looked! Plus it didn't dry my lips out and it lasted for a long time! I probably will only use this on my lips, because with my uber pale skin I don't think I'll like the red color on my cheek.
Bare Minerals 5 In 1 BB advanced performance cream eyeshadow- Divine Wine
Full Size: $18.00
"Meet the next generation in eye shadow: creamy, long-wearing color meets exceptional skincare benefits and broad spectrum SPF protection. Chock-full of skin-loving ingredients, this breakthrough product delivers 5 benefits in one luxurious formula."
Benefits:
12-hour long-wearing color
Supercharged primer
Powerful brightening benefits
Smoothes the appearance of fine lines
Protects with Broad Spectrum SPF 15
-This is honestly one of the best cream shadows I have ever used and I will most definitely be buying the full size in multiple colors. "Divine Wine" is a gorgeous deep, cool toned brown that dries down to a matte finish. It has a cool sponge tip applicator, that allows you to get the color right where you want it. This cream shadow is literally all you need to create a smoky eye. Just apply it close to the lash line and smudge it out. It looks so gorgeous and smooth on the lids. I used this product as a base in an upcoming makeup look and it worked amazing as a primer. My shadows lasted all day, through sweat and heat, and it still looked amazing after like 14 hours. I'm really impressed by this product!
Final Thoughts: Overall, I'm really impressed by this month's products. There was really only one product I didn't like that much (but my sister will love it), but I really love everything else and I know they're all going to become part of daily makeup routine.
