July and August Ipsy Bags

My July Ipsy Bag, entitled Beach Beauty, was a fun filled pink bag with Summer essentials that every girl, let alone beauty blogger, needs.  There's a little bit of everything in this bag, so, let's begin...

1) Big Sexy Hair - Weather Proof:  This humidity resistant spray is perfect for on the go day to day or on vacation.  Getting rid of fizz by creating a protective barrier against moisture while leaving your hair freshly styled all day long.  2) COOLA Face Mineral Sunscreen SPF 20 Tinted Moisturizer: I have only heard good things about this brand, however it is quite pricey so I am excited to sample it before committing to purchasing it.  This tinted moisturizer is made from 98% natural ingredients like organic acai oil, vitamin B1/2/3, vitamin C, and vitamin E to name a few.  The formula not only protects against the sun but also helps with ageing, skin calming, and elasticity.  3) Demeter Roll on Perfume Oil - Salt Air:  This fresh roll-on perfume not only smells amazing it is also good for your skin, unlike most perfumes.  Made from 97% natural ingredients including coconut, palm kernel oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin e, not to mention it is alcohol free.  4) Pop Beauty - Pouty Pop Crayon in Fuchsia Flirt: This vibrant pink lip crayon provides the perfect amount of colour at the same time as nourishing your lips and creating the perfect pout.  5)  bhcosmetics - California Collection Sample:  This eyeshadow trio offers 3 samples from their California Palette Collections.  Hollywood - a dark plum colour with subtle metallic finish.  San Francisco - a taupe bronze colour with gold metallic finish.  Malibu - a metallic gold colour.  These shadows have a light, soft finish making them very blend-able or able to be worn on their own.

The August Ipsy Bag was titled Glamour Academy and offered products to get you through a fabulous evening on the town.  From start to finish this bag has you covered.

1)  Start off with your Michael Todd Facial Scrub made with Jojoba Oil and Activated Charcoal.  This scrub is for all skin types and will help exfoliate and remove impurities by removing dead skin and with the help of the charcoal penetrate deep into your pores to remove unwanted toxins and imperfections.  2)  After your face is clean you'll want to give yourself a mani/pedi with Martini's Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai.  Bright tangerine is the perfect colour for summer... bright, bold, and most important fun.  3)  A little bit of shadow goes a long way, especially with this MICA Beauty Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in Bronze.  Made from minerals to allow a smooth, long lasting look which can be worn alone or blended with other shadows in your collection.  Also, this powder can be mixed with clear lip gloss, nail polish, or mascara to enhance the drama or to make it multi-functional.  You can use it on your eye, nails, and lips, amazing right!  4)  Your makeup isn't complete without mascara, this Pixi Lash Booster Mascara is the perfect finishing touch.  This long lasting formula is smudge proof, waterproof, extremely pigmented, and with the cone shaped brush coats all your lashes evenly.  5)  Lastly, lips.  This Noya Lip Balm in Cherry is made from all-natural ingredients for a smooth, soft, and lightweight finish.
