July 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag

I wasn't sure if I was going to put up this review as it is a little late, but I figured what the hell, better late than never. Although this hasn't been my favourite Glam Bag to date, I was really impressed with the contents. And I really like the bag this month. It is perfect for carrying products in your purse or beach bag, because it is waterproof and easy to clean.

This month I received 5 products, plus a bonus nail polish for making 2 referrals. I have decided to stay subscribed for now because next months bag looks really good. There is a possibility that next month you could get a Urban Decay lipstick. If you are interested in signing up for Ipsy you can do so by clicking HERE. (contains referral link)

Big Sexy Hair Weather Proof Humidity Resistant Spray

Sample Size: 1.4oz
Sample Value: $7.80

At first I was disappointed when I saw this product because I really wanted the Soy Beach Spray. However, after using this I am really happy I got it. I used it a few Saturdays ago to set my hair for a wedding I was attending. It was crazy hot and humid outside and my hair was going to frizz in seconds. I did a light spray all over and it kept me flyaway and frizz free all night. I can see myself purchasing the full size for Summer months.

Coola Mineral Sunscreen Unscented Moisturizer SPF 20

Sample Size: 0.23oz
Sample Value: $4.87

This sample is so tiny! And when I squeeze the tube there is a lot more air than product in there. Kinda disappointed about the size, but I understand that not everything is going to be full size every month. I'm excited to try a mineral sunscreen as most other sunscreens make my face extremely oily. I'm saving this sample until I use up a few things I have open right now.

Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub

Sample Size: 1oz
Sample Value: $16.25

So happy I got this! I adore face scrubs and love getting samples of them. Once my current sample runs out I will be trying this one. I will probably do a review post on it once I try it. This sample also smells amazing. It has a lemony citrus scent that will be very refreshing.

POP Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in Coral Crush

Sample Size: 3g
Sample Value: $4.17

I love love love lip crayon products. They are easy to apply, and great for on the go. My favourite one right now is from Revlon, I am hoping I like this one just as much. The colour is perfect for this time of year, and will look great paired with a neutral eye.

BH Cosmetics California Palette

Sample Size: 3 eye shadows, 1 from each palette
Sample Value: $0.62 roughly

This palette is so flippin' cute! The size is perfect to carry in my purse for touch ups, and the colours look gorgeous in the pan. The purple is a little less pigmented but it is still workable, and I will probably use it wet as an eyeliner. I've never tried BH eye shadows before so its exciting to receive a product you've never tried.

Bonus: Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez Polish in Pretty in Plum

I received this bonus for referring two people to Ipsy. The colour is gorgeous and this is my first NOPI polish. I was hesitant to buy these because I was uncertain of the quality. However, after trying it I am super impressed. I will be going to see if my Dollarama still has some in stock for $3 and getting them all!

  1. I also wrote my review late...I wanted to really try the products first! ;) I got mostly the same as you, except I got the Beach Spray and the Coola in Rose Essence. I love BH Cosmetic shadows! I have their 120 palette 1st edition and is very pigmented! I really liked the scrub, and the smell....awesome!! I love the lemon!!

    I'm with you, next month's bag seems like it's going to be amazing!! I'm really looking forward to it!! Cheers!
