August 2017 ipsy Review
Wednesday, August 30, 2017
Hi guys! It's time for my monthly ipsy review!
Let's get started...
This month was a little bit different. Our bags came in gold envelopes instead of the usual pink. And we received one of three different makeup bags {as shown above}. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get one of the other bags. But, it's no big deal. It's really all about the products. And I was happy with the ones in my bag this month.
The products in my bag:
- Naked Cosmetics HD Finishing Translucent Powder. I was excited to try this product out! It is super lightweight so it won't give you that cake face look like some other finishing powders out there. I've worn it a few times now and I really like it so far.- SLMissGlam T35 Precise Blending Brush. It's no secret that I looove SLMissGlam brushes. Not only are they adorable but they're really soft and blend your eyeshadows beautifully. Oh, and did I mention that they are cruelty free!? Seriously what's not to love?
- Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara. Guys, I am in love with this mascara! If you're looking for a mascara that gives you long thick lashes without any clumping, flaking, or smudging then this is the one for you. I wore it all day running errands in the heat and it did not move all day. Yeah, that's right. I didn't need to re-apply it in the middle of the day like I would with other mascaras. This product is amaze.
- Pacifica Coconut Blush Duo. Another product that I was thrilled to get in my bag this month. I am a huge fan of Pacifica and their products. They are always such great quality. This blush duo did not disappoint. The shades are super pretty, you can wear them separately or mix them together. They both give you a lovely and natural glow to your cheeks. If you want a more intense blush and glow you can definitely build it up. I loved that it came with a cute mirror on the back of it. It's perfect to put in your purse.
{Here's a closer look at the shades. They are my kind of blush colors for sure.}
- Labotica Honey & Bamboo Skin Soft Mask Set. I love when I get masks in my ipsy! I haven't tried anything from this brand before so I was curious to see how they were. I used the bamboo one the other day because my skin was feeling quite dry. This masks left my skin feeling so so soft & hydrated. I was super impressed and look forward to using the honey one soon.

My finial thoughts: I thought this month had some really nice products in it. I really enjoyed the blush duo and the blending brush. I feel like I'll get a lot of use out of them. The other products were lovely too! I can't wait to see what September's bag brings!
