Ipsy: June 2015

by | Jun 16, 2015 | Throwback | 12 comments

  • 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!

  2. I love Ipsy! I had canceled it a while back, and the hubs surprised me with another subscription for it! I wasn't completely thrilled with my May bag (yours looked better!), and I haven't gotten my June one yet!! But that nail polish! Loving the brightness!!

  3. My Ipsy bag is almost here! I hope I got the facial mask and primer. I got totally different stuff than you last month though. I redeemed my points this month for free product and am thinking about cancelling because I have more than I have room for now :-/

  4. I haven't got my bag yet, but I think we got a few of the same things. That polish looks pretty. A while back I received a Nuxe mask in a Glossybox, I love that thing. So rich & hydrating. Hopefully the exfoliating gel will be great too!

  6. I love that bright polish!!!! I am like you, I prefer to not get random samples of skin care just because my face freaks out with just about everything these days.

  7. That polish is gorgeous I love it!!! I like that eyeliner too. I would also prefer to get hair and makeup products instead of skin care products. Hope that you're having a great day today too!! 🙂

  8. I've never tried a subscription service of any kind, but have heard a lot of great things about the Ipsy bags. Maybe one of these days I'll try it!

  9. Ooo love that nail color! I prefer to get makeup products too, like you said I like what I use and not really looking to switch! But more makeup is always a good idea! 🙂

  10. I actually stopped using ipsy because I was getting too many skin care products. I LOVE that nail polish though! Holy wow! And what cute bags. I love all kinds of small cosmetic bags and then hoard them, so that was the other reason I stopped. 🙂 xo
