ipsy September 2016

The bag this month actually spells out ipsy. How cute is that? This material resembles a denim, however, that isn't what it's made of. The theme is Glamazon.

Alright, let's check out what I got.

Dirty Little Secret Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Teaser

Everyone needs a matte medium brown eyeshadow. This is a really good one. I will definitely use this. I need to really get a palette for all these single shadows ipsy sends me. I have them all over my beauty table, which really gets messy. I love eyeshadow, but I don't love all these damn individual shadows in there little packaging all over my desk.

AMIE New Leaf Deep Pore Exfoliating Polish

This smells great and it also works great. After using this my face felt amazing. It was smoother in texture and my pores were clearer as well. It did what it claims to do. It gently exfoliated my skin. I really like this and would recommend this. I would purchase the full size.

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme

Good golly this stuff really made the lips tingle. I have never used a lip plumper before and dear lort you feel this stuff working. I mean my lips felt very tingly. They became nearly red...not pink they were a shade of red. I didn't have any blistering or anything crazy but my lips sure plumped up. This worked very well in my opinion. I would recommend giving this a try. 

Naked Cosmetics Naked Advanced Aloe Cream

This actually feels great on my skin. It's very thick and creamy. A little goes a long way. I really dislike the scent of this, however, it does fade. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase a full size product, however, it is a good face cream. After using this my face is very plump and hydrated.

Seraphine Botanicals Guava Butter

I have dry skin so I really liked getting this product. Sadly, as soon as I opened this I wasn't happy. It is very scented. I don't have sensitive skin so I wasn't worried about that part, however, I just didn't like the smell. If I don't like it I don't really want it lingering on my face. Thankfully, I tried this out and the scent fades very quickly once it's applied to your cheeks. I didn't try it on my lips or eyes as they suggest you can use it. Overall, it's a good cream blush. It's very pigmented. I swiped a brush over the product and then applied it to my cheeks.

Check out August's bag here. The theme last month was Sugar Highness.

ipsy September 2016 Early Access

Here is my bag for September. I am actually pretty happy with the products I am getting. I'm looking forward to the DLS Cosmetics eyeshadow the most and also that Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme. I am thrilled to not be getting another eyeliner. I have gotten so many lately and I'm so happy to not see one in my bag this month.

ipsy September 2015

The theme this month is Face Fashion. When I first saw images of the bag it looked like it was going to be rose gold, and I was really wanting it to be, however, it's not. It's still very pretty, though.

Let's see the products!

September ipsy Bag Finally Arrived!

So, I felt like it took my ipsy forever to get here this time around! I didn't get mine until the 16th. I didn't think it was ever coming since I got the shipping info/email on the 10th! Also, I had used points to get some items and they weren't in this bag. I'm hoping they will be in my October bag. I don't want to contact IpsyCare and seem like a pest if they are just coming next month.

Check out my August Glam Bag here. The theme was Prep School.

Did it take longer than normal for your bag to come in?

My personal image

I'm sure a lot loved this bag however I didn't really care for it. I'm just not a fan of grays and blacks when it comes to bags and accessories. It is pretty but just not for me personally. However, no big deal. 

Check out my ipsy Pinterest board here. 

Here are the products that I received.

Clicking the name of each product will send you to the ipsy web page for that product.

Hikari Lipstick

I got this beautiful lipstick from Hikari Cosmetics. I had never heard of this brand before so I was excited to try this out. First off this is a very pretty color. The shade is called Cabernet. I really loved it. I'm wearing the lipstick in this Instagram post. It's is a creamy texture. The color is opaque. I'd say I got a good 5 or 6 hours wear time with this. The color fades nicely into a stain type look. Of course wear time will vary depending on if you are eating and drinking. I love this lipstick. Also, this is a matte finish and can be slightly drying for some so be conscious of that and use a lip balm before applying if needed to get your lips hydrated.

Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil

I got the color Fringe, which is a brown shade. I'm very thankful for that because I don't see myself wearing the gun metal color. This brown is a nice everyday shade. I like it for "no makeup" makeup looks. I like wearing it to work as well because it gives a hint of definition to the eye without drawing too much attention. Overall this isn't a bad eye pencil at all. Some also use this for their brows. I personally haven't tried it but I don't see why it wouldn't work especially since it is a waterproof formula.

Be A Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder

First off, it took me like a week to get the tiny plastic seal off this powder! I just couldn't get my hands to work for me, haha! This is a great setting powder. I used it under my eyes, around my nose, and on my cheeks. It really helped with shine and minimizing the look of pores. It gives off a slight airbrushed looked. It is a great powder. It really makes your skin appear flawless.

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask

I used this the first time and wasn't really impressed. I didn't think it did that much to my hair, however, whenever I went to work my coworker was like your hair looks great. I'm like, oh thanks, not really thinking anything about it. Well, then I realized whenever I used this they would mention my hair looked great. They said it looks so healthy and pretty. I guess this works after all. I just wasn't seeing it like everyone else was. Overall, after hearing comments about my hair I'd recommend this for sure. It's lightweight yet moisturizing. I give it a thumbs up.

Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Face Cleanser

First let me state that if you don't like organic smells then stay away from this. I loved the actual product however hated the smell. I got used to the smell the more I used it but goodness did I hate it. The cleanser worked great for me and I would have bought a full size if it wasn't for the scent. I just wasn't feeling the cucumber and watercress at all. Overall great face cleanser, but the downside is that scent for me.

All in all I liked my products this month. The bag wasn't my favorite but that's okay with me. We can't be 100% satisfied all the time. I'm really loving ipsy and all the different products I've received so far.
