Ipsy - June 2014

Ipsy
Cost: $10/month

Also a little late in posting this, but here is my June 2014 Ipsy bag! Ipsy is in my Top 3 favorite subs.

"Pretty In Paradise" is the June theme.

I LOVE THIS BAG!!!!!!! How adorable is this?? They keep getting better and better!!1

Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray - $6.99

Bloggers and non-bloggers alike are going crazy over this. BUT.... I spend so much time trying to tame and straighten my naturally wavy hair, that a "beach spray" that adds body and extra definition to wavy hair, isn't something that I want. :/ So I will trade this, I'm sure.

Be A Bombshell Lash Out Mascara - $15.00

Let me say that this... stinks....I have read reviews and blogs from ladies complaining about a horrid smell from their mascara. So, since I have a weird sniffing habit, I gave mine a sniff. It's.....different and definitely not pleasant, sort of like a burnt plastic smell. BaB has posted a statement, saying that it is safe to use and that they chose to leave the mascara scent-free so that customers with sensitivities are able to use it.   However, a lot of consumers (myself included) have chosen to be err on the side of caution and chose not to use this item.

Ofra Universal Eyebrow Pencil - $13.00

I have no use for products like these. Claims to suit all skin tones, but I am very light (pasty white)  and I have a hard time believing this will work with my skin. Plus, I just don't use eyebrow products.

Realtree For Her - $19.99

More perfume samples. *sigh* However, this one is quite large for a perfume sample. Plus, it smells amazing! So I'm quite pleased with this scent. Feminine but not over-powering.

NYX Butter Gloss - $5.00

I love the butter gloss!! It is rich and glossy, hydrating, smells and tastes great and I love the color that I received (Creme Brulee'). I'm now on a mission to get every other color shade. :)


Overall: Another AMAZING Ipsy bag!! If you haven't signed up yet, you are missing out!! GO! NOW!

Birchbox - June 2014

Birchbox
Cost: $10/month

The June 2014 Birchbox is here! I am a little late in posting this, but this month my BB arrived in about 5 days, which is pretty fast for Newgistics!

No. 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect - $32.00

I am super excited to get this! I got a sample this size in a swap but this is the first time I've gotten it in a subscription and it's perfect timing because I just used up the one I got in the swap! I use this before straightening my hair, and it smells really good.

Folle de Joie eau de parfume - $98.00

I need more perfume samples like I need another hole in my head, but hey I'll take it and use it. It smells really good, but I don't think there's anyway I'd pay full price $98 for this.

Supergoop! SPF 30 - $48.00

Thanks to my subs, I now have enough sunscreen to last a lifetime. This is a tiny tiny sample, but I'm sure it doesn't take much. However, like I said, I have SOOOO much right now, that this won't get used anytime soon so I will pass it along.

Coastal Scents® Revealed 2 Palette Set - $34.00

I actually traded this small sample palette, but I will be saving up my BB points and trading them in for the full sized palette, which I think is beautiful!

The $34 set includes 1 Revealed 2 Eye Shadow Palette, plus 1 Elite Large Shadow brush, 1 Elite Dome Shadow brush, and 1 Elite Doefoot Blender brush.    

Jasmine Seven™ Fresh Feet Wipes - $9.95

Feet wipes? What happened to good ole soap and water? I guess these may be handy to have if you are in a place without a sink....say maybe the beach? And they are peppermint scented? I'm just not sure if my family really has a use for this product.

Overall: This month was one of my better Birchboxes to date. The sunscreen I dont need and the feet wipes we won't use, but everything else was a success. What was in your box this month?
