Ipsy June 2014 Review - Pretty In Paradise

Ipsy is slowly becoming my favorite subscription, so it is always a joy when I see this pink bag in my mailbox. Ipsy is a beauty sample and full size subscription that is delivered to your door for $10 every month. 


Each month comes with a different makeup bag and a different theme. This makeup bag is super cute and stocked full. I can't wait to see the theme and what goodies are inside. 


The theme for June is Pretty In Paradise. All the items inside are perfect for a day at the beach, a hot summer night, or escaping for a moment and making your home bathroom into a mini spa paradise. 


For only $10, this makeup bag seems to be packed to it's limits. I really feel like Ipsy is well worth the money, and does a really great job of picking items I'll love and not skimping on the amount of products.


Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray

$8.79 - 4.2 fl oz         $3.18

This is my favorite discovery I've received in my Ipsy box yet. This gave my pin straight hair soft waves without making it crunchy, and the coconut smell brought paradise straight to me. This look is perfect for day, or it can be used for a quick way to go from the beach to dinner and drinks. I will definitely be purchasing this product when I run out of the sample.


Skinn Olive & Enzyme Rich Balm Cleanser

$24 - 4 oz             $12

This product can be used as a face wash, a makeup remover, or as a mask, just depending on how long you leave it on your skin. I love this mask and how it gives me a little escape. Plus, it smells like paradise with the orange oil and olive polyphenois. It also left my face refreshed and bright like I just spend the day at the spa.


Be a.... bombshell Mascara in Lash Out

$15 - 0.25 oz

This isn't my favorite mascara I've ever tried, I normally prefer formulas that make my eyelashes explode in fullness, but I do like the light application for the summer months. This mascara is perfect for a trip to the beach where you don't want to wear a full application of makeup, but don't want to leave your eyelashes bare. Plus, this is a full size mascara! That is worth the price of the Ipsy Glam Bag all by itself. 


NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee

$5.00 - 0.23 fl oz

I am usually not a fan of lip gloss because it leaves my lips sticky and dry, but this gloss's formula left my lips buttery smooth. I'd prefer a different color, but at $5 a pop, they are cheap enough to pick up a few different colors. I will be using this for late summer dinners or cocktails by the ocean.


Jesse's Girl Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

$6.99 - .017 oz

This eyeliner is my new favorite. Out of every eyeliner I have ever tried, this one has the easiest and easiest application. Plus, it lasts all night. I've been using this for all the wedding outings I have going on this summer. I do love the exotic look of this eyeliner and can definitely see the myself wearing this on a jungle vacation. 


Ipsy box is surprisingly becoming my favorite subscription box. I continue to love all the samples, and the value of the samples and full size items are always much greater than the $10 I spend each month. I estimate this Glam Bag to be worth $42.17. Seriously, a really great value.
