August Ipsy Bag

Hello lovies! It's Ipsy time!

Now this month it was back to school themed. Now normally I am so psyched for back to school stuff, but as some of you may know I have been in school since July. I know it sucks. This passed week I have been on my mini "break" from school and I go back on Tuesday, and let me tell you this is the first semester that I am not excited to see back to school stuff out. It's literally making me cringe. But that's off topic...


So first thing I got in my bag this month was this Coastal Scents Forever Blush sample, something I normally wouldn't purchase because of the price and how its only available online, so it was great to try. It comes in two shades, a pinky rosy shade, and a bronzy orange shade. Both colors are great when I swatched them, but I have yet to figure out how I would be able to apply this on my cheeks, since most of my blush brushes are on the larger side. 


Next, I got this Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Lip Balm. Now I am very picky when it comes to lip balms because my lips are very sensitive. This unfortunately does not provide me the moisture I need. I felt that it absorbed way too quickly and left my lips feeling more chapped. It smells very nice, it has a tropical fragrance, but be careful because the taste isn't the greatest! 


Next in my bag, I got a J. Cat Flying Solo Eyeshadow in the shade Half Naked. I am in LOVE with this eyeshadow. It is such a pretty nude color for the eyes that really brightens them up. It has a bit of shimmer in it, but its not glitter overload. I love this as a lid color or just on its own. Great eyeshadow! 


Then, I got the Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in the shade Plushie. I was extremely excited about this product when I saw it was featured in Ipsy, however I am SOOOO disappointed in it. Now, I have only used it on my waterline, but I feel like it was so hard to use. From many other reviews, I heard that this stuff was like butter, but when I tried it out it was so hard to get the color to stick to my skin. Also, this color is not for me! After smearing this on for a long time to get some color, I felt like this made me look extremely tired. Which is something I really don't want to go for. I'm willing to try this product again but not in this color. Or maybe I'm using it wrong? 


Lastly, I got this Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk. I'm not a huge fan of dry shampoos because my hair isn't normally oily anyways, so I don't really use it. But I have used this on second or third day hair to help give me a little extra something when my hair needs volume. Smells very nice and clean too. 

Well that's it for this month. I don't know, but I feel a bit disappointed with my bag. I feel like compared to other reviews and what other people got in their bags was so much better than mine. This month was ehh, hopefully next month is a little bit better. 

But thanks for reading! Check back in soon!
