Hey friends!
I hope you had a really great weekend!! I’m going to show you everything I got in my July IPSY Bag! So you guys know how much I love getting these fun surprises in the mail once a month, but this month the tracking was completely jacked up and I never got the email about it being shipped and I started getting all kinds of mad thinking they weren’t sending it to me. Drama Drama. Let me show you what I got!
July IPSY Bag
IPSY is a $10 a month beauty subscription service that is freakin amazing and totally worth the $10. Get on it, you won’t regret it! Sign up here.








I really love the hot pink bag with scalloped edges, it’s super cute and a little bigger than the standard IPSY bags so you can fit a lot more in them!
1. Benefit’s They’re Real Mascara: This is a really great mascara, but I just got it in a IPSY bag a few months ago. I’m sure sometimes they have to do repeats on products, but Id rather get a product from a brand I’ve never heard of or something. But if you haven’t tried this mascara you should definitely do that. $10 mini | $23 full size
2. Lavilin’s Jojoba Gel Cream: I haven’t used this yet, but it says it’s really good for softening and hydrating dry skin. I do need to use it because being in the water and sun so much this summer my legs just get so dry. I will though it kind of stinks, like meat cooking in a restaurant. Haha I hope you love the way I describe smells. | $21 full size
3. Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil with SPF 08: I haven’t used this yet, but it’s a pretty good product to include. I have a good tan going on now but like I said above my legs get really dry so this will be great to use the next time I’m laying out. It does smell good, like the typical tanning oil, but I like it. | $11.99 full size.
4. Elizabeth Mott’s Tints and Sass Lip and Cheek Tint: I’ve never tried one of these lip or cheek tints before but I think these are really great for when you don’t want to wear a lot of makeup and you just want to throw on this on your cheeks and lips and run out the door. I tried it on my cheeks and it didn’t really show up that well, but it is buildable. I also tried it on my lips and the color looks really nice, but is a little drying. And don’t really expect longevity out of this. It smells just like cherries which is the perfect smell for this. This is full size for $22.99Β
5.Bare Mineral’s 5 in 1 BB Cream Shadow: This is a pretty cool product. It does so many things that your typical eye shadow can’t do. It is a primer, lasts up to 12 hours, brightens your eye area, reduces fine lines, and has SPF 15. That’s a crazy amount of goodies in a cream shadow. I tried it and I really liked it, it was one of those days where I wore my makeup for a very long time… try 15 hours and it still looked pretty darn good. I wore it alone, it’s super creamy but it can also be worn with a shadow over it. It didn’t tell the color, but I may actually purchase one of these.

That is everything I got in my bag this month and if I’m being honest… and I always am, this bag was very underwhelming. With the whole shipping, tracking and late delivery drama I kind of feel like my bag was an after thought and it was just thrown together last minute, I don’t know maybe I’m wrong. I do however still love IPSY and will still continue to get the bags, sometimes it’s just hit or miss and this month was definitely a miss in my opinion.
Would you rather get brands you already know and love in a subscription service, or brands you’ve never heard of before?
Oh no you are right! I gotta fix it! Thank you for telling me! Come back later to comment! :)
tried to comment on your latest post, but the comment box never came up, even after reloading. i’m sure it’s my end, but just letting ya know
Fixed it! :)
I love getting brands that I’ve never heard of! Makes me learn more about all the amazing stuff out there!
Yea I’m the same way, items you know you can just go buy them yourself!
I just read about IPSY on someone else’s blog earlier today! So I signed up. I’ll be getting my first bag in August. I can’t wait!
Awesome!! They are really fun to get each month! I hope your first bag is super great! :)
Loved reading this! I never tire of beauty reviews. I didn’t know Ipsy was so cheap- I might have to jump on board.
Do you get to select preferences, and if you do, do they actually honor your preferences?
Yea it’s really cheap and it always pays for itself like double and triple time! Usually I add up how much the value is, I didn’t do that this time, it slipped my mind but if you look at my old Ipsy posts you can see how much value the bags normally have! You do take a quiz when you sign up and it determines the colors you would get example, nail polishes or lipsticks! Sometimes the colors can be a bit off but you can review it afterwards and if you hated certain things or colors you tell them that and they won’t send it again! If you do decide to sign up please use my link I provided because it gets me points to get a bonus item! :)
I really need to sign up for these cuz they look so fun! It is frustrating not getting tracking and then getting a so-so product. I think new products are always more fun!!
Yea you should definitely sign up to get one! I’ve been getting them for around 2 years and I can honestly say there have been way more good bags than bad ones! :)
I’ve been thinking I need a good tanning oil. I’m trying to even out my tan lines and get a little darker since I’m in a wedding in a couple weeks.
Yea I’m anxious to see how this works! I will definitely be using it next time I’m out!
