Ipsy August 2018 | Glam Bag Review

gerlabaeri Haziran 25, 2021

If you follow me on Instagram you know the reason there was no post last week was because my neighbor's tree fell onto my beautiful car, which resulted in it being totaled. Here's a picture:

So, I did not have time to record an 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' makeup look, as I was dealing with my own unfortunate event. However, my Ipsy bag also came that day and brightened my spirits a little bit.

Quick overview of Ipsy for those who are unfamiliar:

Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that for $10 per month (plus tax, free shipping in the U.S.) gives you five beauty samples (often a full size product) in a cute makeup bag.

Every month has a different theme and different bag.

You take a beauty quiz when you sign up to let them know your preferences (skin type and tone, hair color and type, makeup style, etc.)

And as you receive different products you can rate them so future bags will have more of the products you like.

And as rate and review, you earn points towards free products!

Here are the products I received in August:

1. PIXI BY PETRA: Fresh Face Blush in Beach Rose

This is a lovely, blendable blush. It gives a perfectly natural flush and can also be used as a contour shade. It crumbles a little if you are a too aggressive with the brush, but it glides on the face like a dream.

2. CIATÉ LONDON: Glow-To Highlighter in Moondust

This shimmery, champagne colored highlighter is beautiful! It blends nicely on top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, etc. Leaves a nice 'lit from within' glow. I definitely plan to buy a full sized one of this little guy.

3. SLMISSGLAM: Rose Gold Blusher Blush

This brush isn't just pretty, with its glitter and gems. It is soft, fluffy, and totally versatile! Not only is it great for blush, but it is the perfect shape for contouring the hollows of the cheeks, or highlighting the cheekbones.

4. THEBALM COSMETICS: Foiled Again Eyeshadow in Locked Up

This silver shimmery shade is as smooth as butter. It's finish truly gives a foil look, with a super pretty shine. Lasts for about 8 without creasing (without a primer).

5. HEY HONEY: Take Away The Drama Youth Boosting Honey and Copper Peel-Off Mask
