June Ipsy Glam Bag!

I decided recently that I am not nice enough to myself, and I wanted to do a little something to treat myself. I'd heard a lot about Ipsy and figured, why not? Ten bucks a month gets you a little makeup bag full of samples and full-sizes of makeup personally tailored to you. You just take a quiz to get set up!

Today my June bag came. I know, I know, it's July already. But I signed up late last month, so I just got it. Sure enough, today when I went to the mailbox and saw the purple bubble mailer I got excited.

Here's what I got:

From left to right: The Balm Meet Matt(e) Trimony Eyeshadow in Matt Kumar (which is a matte cranberry), Liptini Cream Lipcolor in Pink-tini, Crown Blush Three-Tone Bronzer, Formula X Nail Polish in Wingwoman (that amazing red you see there), and clariSEA Deep Pore Detox Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Mask.  All pictured with this month's bag, on my wrinkly bed.

I am a little underwhelmed by the bag itself. Maybe Allyson will play with it, or something. I haven't actually tried any of the samples just yet, but expect pictures when I do. Overall, so far I really like this service. I don't like spending a ton of money on makeup (because, what if I hate it?) so this seems like a neat way to try it out before I shell out full price. When I worked at Kmart I liked to buy makeup on clearance. I got my discount on top of that too! (Sometimes makeup got clearanced because they changed the packaging, or the formula, or if they were discontinuing a color.  I figure I can always find a similar shade if I really fall in love with it.)

I am really excited about that lip color and the eyeshadow.  And if that exfoliating mask can make my skin look good I am all for it.

So, that's what I've got so far! Further reviews are pending.
