Ipsy June 2015 Glambag Review

Ipsy is a cosmetic subscription service. For $10 a month and free shipping you get a new, cute "glambag" with four to five deluxe sample size, or full size beauty products. It's a great and affordable way to try a lot of products that you probably wouldn't normally buy. You can cancel at any time.

I've been subscribed for two years now, and it's rare that I don't like at least one item in each bag I receive.

The bags and samples also make great gifts (in my humble opinion) for any beauty lover you might know.



I want to apologize for how late this is. I've already received my July bag, and August's bag is on its way!  However, I also kind of feel like I'm apologizing to myself. Does anyone really care if I post these or not? Probably not.  But, without further ado, here's what came in my June bag!

I liked the bag this month. It's all black with "ipsy" printed on it in a raised texture. The material is kind of like neoprene. And it has a neon coral zipper.

NUXE Gentle Exfoliating Gel
- Shade: N/A
- Size: .5 fl oz
- Value: $5.00

This Gentle Exfoliating Gel is infused with Rose Petals that gently exfoliate and eliminate dead skin cells. The gel's texture consists of gentle exfoliating grains to reveal refined skin. This scrub will leave your skin feeling soft, clear, and more radiant than ever.

For sensitive and all skin types

Contains at least 91% natural ingredients including ground lychee stones and ground walnut shells. No parabens and hypoallergenic fragrance specifically developed for sensitive skin.

I haven't tried this yet, but I love exfoliators.

BeFine Cucumber Facial Mask
- Shade: N/A
- Size: 1 fl oz
- Value: $6.25

Exactly what your skin craves, this Cucumber Cooling Mask revitalizes, repairs and rejuvenates the complexion. Cucumber Extract removes dead skin cells while soothing and tightening the skin. Pomegranate Extract, which is loaded with antioxidants, helps repair the skin and keeps it looking its youngest. Watermelon Extract reduces the break down of DNA in skin cells while keeping them hydrated.

This mask is amazing! My skin loves cucumber; it is so soothing and calming.

tre'StiQue Mini Shadow Crayon
- Shade: Aspen Pine
- Size: .02 oz
- Value: $8.66 (I could not find the size of the full size product, so I dividing the full price by 3 for the mini price.)

This amazing 12 hour eye shadow has customizable color that you can build from a subtle wash to intense vibrancy. It’s also super blendable with a crease free, smooth finish.

I like the idea of this. I use these eye crayons as base colors. I mostly use white or black, but I am open to other colors. However, forest green is not a color that I wear often, but I will eventually try it.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
- Shade: N/A
- Size : .25 fl oz
- Value : $9.00

Create a perfect canvas for foundation application with this silky, lightweight blend of vitamins A & E, grape seed extract and green tea. Worn alone or under foundation, this best-selling, oil-free primer helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for flawless skin with a velvety-smooth finish.

This primer diffuses the light hitting your skin to blur out imperfections for an even, soft-focus look while also making your makeup last all day long.

I have received this primer before, and honestly I don't like it. It beads up on me.  I much prefer my Monistat Anti-chafing gel, which I have talked about before, and done an in-depth comparison to the Smashbox primer.
