Hey everyone!  Welcome to another Glam Bag review!

This month’s theme is: Rebel Rebel

 …and this bag totally speaks to me.

Below is a shot of my June bag:

Ipsy is a monthly subscription service.  Each month, subscribers will receive an awesome Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using. All for only $10 a month.

I have been a member for more than 3 years and I absolutely love it.  I have discovered so many excellent products through Ipsy!  I may not always love everything I receive but for only 10.00 a month it is such a fun surprise to look forward to each month!  Ipsy spotlights numerous brands each month and you will generally receive something from 5 of them!  In addition to the products received you will get discount codes from most brands…even the ones that you do not receive!  This months’ discounts include but are not limited to: Biossance, Pacifica, Jersey Shore cosmetics, Smashbox, Peek Cosmetics,  and many more, the discounts range between 10% -50% off purchase (averaging at 20-25%) and are occasionally a dollar amount.  They sometimes include a gift with purchase.

Ipsy also offers curated sets and other products throughout the month that can be purchased at a special price!  I LOVE THESE!  Current set specials available are from: Juice Beauty & Mirabella.

Another perk is the point system.  You can review your bag and items each month to save points for additional products!

Ipsy also has a giveaways section.  Every month, you can win AMAZING hauls from their Glam Bag partners..and let me tell you there are SO many great ones each month…This month there are contest/giveaways from: Hey Honey, Urban Decay, The Balm, Patchology, Klorane, Rodial, Clarisea..and more!

So go ahead, take the beauty quiz, get your first Glam Bag, watch the videos, and create your own!

The Goods:

The Balm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Trimony: Eyeshadow Single Mini.  Full Singles $5.50

The Balm is one of those brands that have grown on me.  I once was annoyed over receiving these teeny little samples but each time I tried them, despite their tiny nature, I liked the products.  I have so many of them now, it’s like I have a little kit.  The packaging is fun and I like this shade which is really pigmented with a nice texture and finish.

Crown Brush 3 Tone Bronzer: Product is Full Size? $???

Unfortunately; as you can plainly see, this baby did not survive its trip here in the pink bubble mailer.  I’m not really one to mess with a crumbling, destroyed product so I’m going to go ahead and dub this product review as: undecided. 😉

Here; you can kind of see the three tones. 😦

clariSEA  Deep Pore Detox Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Mask: Deluxe Mini.  Full Size is 4oz $18.00

I love a good masking product and these mix it yourself versions bring out the chemist in me.  To mix; it is simply two parts mask, 1 part water. (tbs, 1/2 tbs) This mask is made of a mix of charcoal and kaolin clay, meant to draw out impurities from the pores, clear blackheads and decrease excess oil. This mask is meant for use once or twice a week and claims to reduce breakouts and heal existing breakouts more quickly, without the allover dry feeling that you get from similar treatments.  I liked this mask and tend to agree, it did not make my face feel nearly as dry as similar treatments and it made for a good week end face detox.

Formula X Nail Polish in Wingwoman:  Polish Mini.  Full Size is $10.50

I own quite a few Formula X nail polishes and I like the formula of the polish, the ease of application and find it wears well with my favorite top coat.  This shade, Wingwoman, is pretty fabulous, and fitting; as it is very female super hero.  It’s kind of a hot magenta red and I totally dig it.

Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Pout Potion: Product is Full size $14.00

be a bombshell; here is a brand that Ipsy has been using from the very beginning, more so in my first year than recently, but I have never been a fan of the brand.  When I saw my bag content with this product, I liked the shades shown, so I remained hopeful.  I received the shade ‘Secret’; a soft nude pink and I love it.  The formula is pretty good too, it’s not your typical gloss, not too shiny, doesn’t wear right off.  You can get pretty good coverage with it or apply a small amount, blot your lips together, and go for a more subtle look.  Either way, it totally works for me.

I liked this month’s bag, a bummer about the bronzer, but I like all of the other products.  The bag itself is really cool so I was looking forward to that alone.  Definitely worth the 10 bucks.
