Ipsy Glam Bag Plus August 2019 - Review/Photos

I had dinner with a friend who was mind blown at my subscription box collection. He wondered how I used all these products in a month...then I burst into laughter. Anyone else have these convo's? Can you imagine if these products expired in a month? 😜

Purlisse Blue Lotus Daily Moisturizer 🧴- I've been quite happy with all the products I’ve gotten from Purlisse, in fact, I am in love with their BB cream. It contains vitamin E, white tea, and algae extracts to help prevent fine lines, calm, and soften skin. Because I have really dry skin I tend to prefer night cream and moisturizer; the blue lotus is thinner but does absorb quickly into your skin. I was fascinated to find out that the Blue Lotus extract is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that helps protect against the sun ️ Retails for $45

  IT COSMETICS Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer in Medium - one of my top three products to get in my Ipsy Glam Plus is a foundation. It’s infused with SPF 50 and has full coverage that conceals redness, pores, dark spots, lines, and wrinkles. My first impression was that it seemed small for a foundation. I barely needed any for full coverage. IT Cosmetics products have been growing on me. Retails for $40

 

 SUVA BEAUTY Liquid Chrome Illuminating Drops in Trust Fund - ingredients that come from Italy help make this product water-resistant. Their collection comes in a vast array of shades. My first and final impression...FREAKING GORGEOUS. Strobe, baby, strobe. Retails for $26

F.A.R.A.H BRUSHES 5 Piece Eye Perfection Set - Retails for $32

 TARTE Dream Big Eyeshadow Palette - Tartes mini palette includes 8 matte and metallic shades. I’ve pretty much always been a fan of Tarte, but their pallets have been blowing up in these subscription boxes lately. Personally, this one isn’t my cup of tea but it’s a great size to store in your purse or travel. Retails for $30

Ipsy Glam Bag January 2019

 

Happy New Year! I had a bunch of points accumulating and figured "why not get more products?" The bag is fantastic! It's a light blue, bordering on nautical.

FLUIDE's Lip Gloss in Elsewhere - faint, blue tint that reminisce of the 90's gloss. Retails for $7.50

COLOR CLUB Nail Polish in Williamsburg - dark navy with shimmers. Retails for $8

YENSA's PUMPKIN TURMERIC 2-in-1 Radiance Polishing Mask - was looking forward to this mask, but in the bottle it was 25% full. WHAT!?!? How cheap can you be? FAIL. Retails for $45

NOMAD COSMETICS' Illuminating Highlighter in Midnight Sun - this shade was inspired by the "midnight sun." Retails for $15

TARTE's Amazonian Clay Foundation in Medium Sand - this has full coverage of 12 hours and while I tested on my hand had such a unique texture. I'm looking forward to getting the full size. I love amazonian clay in all aspects! Retails for $40

 

 

 

Ipsy Glambag October 2017

For October I appreciated the creativity that was put into the bag. I've always been a big fan of Halloween and the horrors of the month of October. The dark maroon bag has a ghost design of lace and where the Ipsy monogram zipper usually is - now has a black bat. ADORE.

FIRST AID BEAUTY's Ultra Repair Cream - they claim it's not greasy, but I found it was a little bit. And it caused my skin to break out as well. Retails for $30

Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion - UD was my first eyeliner I ever bought and I still stand behind it. Classic and solid! Retails for $20

MAKE UP FOR EVER's Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation - Can you truly go wrong with Make Up Forever? Only of they send you the wrong shade in my case. But still MUFE is always EPIC.  Retails for $43

NEON & CO.'s Treatment Oil -  shine on hair! Retails for $25

RIMMEL LONDON's Lasting Finish by Kate Nude Collection in Shade 47 - not my shade type, or brand preference. Retails for $5

Ipsy Glambag May 2017

 

I was really impressed this month with the foundation as one of the items. Does the bag remind anyone else of those backpacks from the early 90's? 

GLOBAL BEAUTY CARE's Charcoal Wash Off Mask - received this in multiple bags. RETIRE IT!

MANNA KADAR COSMETICS' Radiance Split Pan Bronzer and Highlighter Duo - this is the 2nd time I've received it. too pink for a highlighter, and dark for a bronzer...not a fan.

Estée Lauder's Double Wear Makeup To Go Liquid Compact - sheer foundation with 8 hour wear.  This is full sized! SCORE! 

TRÈSTIQUE's Mini Matte Lip Crayon in Tuscan Wine - in another bag I received a bright red and I LOOOOVED it. I'm equally as happy with this. I wonder if the rest of the brand is fantastic too. 

LUXIE BEAUTY's Luxie Dreamcatcher Precision Foundation Brush 660 - foundation brush that is made for liquid, cream, or powder foundations, concealers, highlighters AND bronzers.
