Ipsy: June 2015

Ipsy: June 2015

  • Befine Cucumber Facial Mask.  So refreshing!  The scent is strong but nice.  It’s so strong though that it’s still lingering in the ipsy bag even after I pulled it out.  I’ve used this once already and it was just so cooling and refreshing.  It left my skin feeling so smooth.
  • Tre’Stique Aspen Pine Mini Shadow Pencil.  Very smooth and creamy formula.  The color is a little off from what I’d normally choose for myself, but it does look like it’d add a nice smokey effect to a simple eye look!
  • Sephora X Formula in Power Source.  I’ve never used an X Formula polish before.  The formula was smooth and opaque and the brush was nice.  The color is bright.  Brighter than I could capture on camera.  Perfect for summer.
  • Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.  I’ve never actually used this product before, but I do religiously use the Monistat Chaffing Gel dupe for it.  I used this primer under my tinted moisturizer that usually goes greasy on me in a hot minute on a 100* degree day and my face held up much better than I anticipated.  I’m a fan.
  • Nuxe Gelee Exfoliation Douce.  The scent on this is a little fainter than the mask.  It’s got a good amount of grit to it.  I imagine it’ll be a pretty great exfoliant.  I haven’t actually given it a try yet, but I’m eager to.
I’m happy with this bag, but not as happy as I was with last month’s bag (which I never got around to reviewing).  I much prefer make up and hair products over skincare.  I’m pretty picky about what I use on my face and while all the brands included in June’s bag are excellent quality–I already use what works for me. 
For the record, I absolutely LOVED everything in my May bag except for the lip tint.
Anyway.  Here’s a photo of Power Source in it’s full glory!
