JULY 2013 IPSY BAG - Beach Beauties!

I know its August and the new bag is right around the corner, i wanted to make sure i got this post up before i receive mine!!!!

The theme for this month was Beach Beauties!  For those who don't know IPSY is a cosmetics subscription which costs $10 per month.  If your in the USA it's free shipping. For us in Canada the shipping is about $4 making an approximate grand total of $14/month shipped.

The bag:

- clear plastic cylinder-like bag that's see through, I'm guessing its supposed to be water proof for the beach. I did not test this theory!

ITEM 1:Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Spray. Its to create a beachy look and it conditions and texturizes!  I haven't really used this yet, I'm kinda "waiting" for the right time lmao, it smells awesome though and i like the concept.  This item is a travel size but it is sold in this size for $19.95.  It comes with a nice sprayer.  The sprayer also locks for when you wanna through it in your bag!  This item retails for

ITEM 2: BH Cosmetics California Collections Eye Shadow Palette.  I got three colours: purple, copper and gold!  Again I'm waiting for the right time to use it! I will definitely use it but these are the type of colours you use on a night out!  All very nice colours and very pigmented.  This is a sample size product.  The closest item they sell to this, is $8-$9 and you get more colours on the palette.

ITEM 3: POP Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in the colour coral.  I have used this, its nice, easy to apply and not over powering in colour, and nice to keep in your purse.  It stays on surprisingly long which was a pleasant surprise.  This is a nice alternative to lipstick and lip gloss!  I can only find this item in a kit with other colours, the kit of 6 costs $25 , and we got a full size version in the bag

ITEM 4. Nailtini Nail Lacquer in colour Mai Tai.  This is a really fun colour.  I used this item FIRST and almost immediately, LOVE it.  I wish i took a pic cause i did nail designs as well <3 This item retails for $13 per bottle, and this is a full size product.

ITEM 5: Coola Mineral Face Sunscreen with SPF 20.   Haven't used it yet but its the perfect size to through in your purse, bag or diaper bag! I'm sure it will come in handy!  This is a small sample size product and the large size is $36.00!

This month we had 2 full size products and 3 Samples.  This makes it very hard to narrow down a value for the items!  In fact I only know the exact value for 1 product that's for sure!  So you can do that crazy math :)

All in all, i did like this bag and will likely use all products!

IPSY BAG - MAY 2013

So thanks to one of the lovely YtubeTTCers, I subscribed to IPSY.com :)  When you subscribe you receive a cool make up bag filled with goodies!!!  I watched her videos on the unboxing of the bag so i thought id give it a try.

I ordered on May 16, 2013 and received my first bag on May 25, 2013.  Now apparently subscriptions are mailed out on the 15th of each month so mine likely didn't get shipped till a few days after i signed up!  The cost of the bag is $10/month and shipping is free in the USA.  Since I'm in Canada i paid a small shipping fee no more then $4.  So my total was approx $14. 

Here is what i got in the mail: a hot pink package :D very pretty!

 At first look in the bag i see all of the May goodies - As a side note u get 5-6 items per bag, some are sample size some are full size.  You do a quiz when you sign up with IPSY and they determine which items best suite you!  

________________________________________________________________________________
FIRST ITEM: Zoya Nail Polish -In GIE GIE pink # ZP651
This Item retails for $8 on their website and comes in a zillion colours!  I got pink in my bag and ill definitely use this colour.  Its a nice feminine pink that would look nice on finger or toes nails!  Comes in a pretty box as well :)  I received a full size product!

 _______________________________________________________________________

ITEM 2: St.Tropez Instant glow body lotion (washable tanner).

This item retails for $15 on their website and they have other options to chose from as well as other types of tanners.  When you open it up the lotion looks a very dark brown.   Don't be scared by this cause it actually goes on very sheer.  We all know I like to be brown so ill definitely use this!!  They have larger sizes available so i assume this is a sample size however it seems like you get a fair bit in the sample.

ITEM 3: Macadamia Healing oil Treatment for hair
This item retails for $13.50 and is one of many sizes the website offers (therefore can be seen as full size product).  They range from $6 to $75 for the largest bottle. It smells great however I've never used this kind of oil before.  It says it can be used as a finisher however if i dont use it, it may be in a giveaway in the future :)

ITEM 4: JUICE Beauty Lipgloss in  Champagne #1J3
This items retails for $15!!!  This is by far my favourite item!  Its dead on, the kind of product i buy and even in a colour id typically get.  It looks amazing over a super light pink! AHHH i love this <3 <3  This is a full size product!

____________________________________________________________________________
ITEM 5: YABY Concealer in buff #cc008
This item retails for $4.95 and can be bought as a full size refill.  I'm very lucky cause this is pretty damn close to my colour so ill actually be able to use it! YAY!

So there you have it, MAY 2013 IPSY bag :)  I paid $14 and got a bag worth more then $56.35 (and that's not including the cost of the bag itself!  This was definitely worth the cost i paid and if you like make-up then its totally worth it!  Might I add that most of these products were natural/organic :)

Totally psyched for the June BAG.  If  you want to subscribe please use my link so i can get some IPSY points!!
