Ipsy June 2014 Review

This is what I got in my June Ipsy bag..The cost for Ipsy is $10/month and it contains great samples in delux sizes and more often than not, the bag also includes a few full sized items. 

This month's theme was Pretty in Paradise

The first product in my bag was the NYX Butter Gloss in Eclair and from the looks of it, it is a full sized product and retails at $5, while I love lip products, I have too many pink lip glosses right now, so this will be given away as a gift! I wish Ipsy would send out lip glosses and lipsticks in more browns, reds and corals. 

The next product was the Carols Daughter, Sacred Tiare styling cream, the full size is 3 oz (90 ml) and retails at $12, this sample is .5 oz (15 ml) so the value is $2. I have tried this brand before and am excited to try this product! 

The next two items are ones that I sadly cannot use as well. The first is a shimmer eyeliner in blue, this is a full sized product and retails at $4.99, I will probably gift this one to my sister who loves colored eyeliners. 

The next item is another full sized product, the universal eyebrow pencil by OFRA, I don't use eyebrow pencils and will have to unfortunately gift this one as well. The retail of this is $13. 

The last item in my bag was a perfume sample, Realtree for her, the full size retails at $24.99 and the sample is worth around $2. I love fragrances and love carrying one in my purse all the time. So I excited about this sample. 

This was my first Ipsy bag since I re-subscribed. While the total value of my bag was $26.99 and well worth the $10 subscription cost, I am disappointed given the only two products I will really use are worth $4. I hope next month is better.

May 2014 Boxycharm Review

BOXYCHARM is a beauty box subscription that surprises you each month with the best beauty products.The cost of the box is $21 per month and this was my first month subscribing so I got my box really late! I however did like that I got the box the same month I subscribed. Most sub boxes make you wait until the next month and I am usually very impatient.  If you like my review please check out my referral and discount codes at the end of the post (I have one for Boxycharm...)!!!!....More Here on Boxycharm

I love the color and how bright it is! Perfect for summer with a lighter eye makeup!

Illume Lavish Hand Creme (Full Size) in Thai Lily - $20...I love hand creams and so glad this was included in my box!!!!
