looks like a pencil bag. Personally I find it really cute.
I really enjoy receiving Ipsy as most of the time I feel like I can use the items from the bag to create a complete look. This month I was looking forward to the mascara sample and, when I found out I was getting it, to the eyeshadows quad.
Full size: 12 ml -$22
sample size: 3ml - $5.5
I know a lot of people participated in an early UD giveaway via Twitter and already had a chance to test it. I was not one of them, and with my sparse lashes I can always use a good voluminizing mascara. I have tested it and I like it. It is not creamy and not clumpy. The trick is not to use too much and to make sure you really got the base of your lashes. One pump of mascara should be enough for both lashes. If you need more coats, go back after you applied it on both eyes and make sure you do not over do it. I would compare it to Diorshow mascara before the change of formula. Very happy with this even though it did smudge a bit- but once dry I saw no flaking or smudging.
#2 Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Lip Balm
Full size; $5.50
Hmm strivectin antioxidant lotion. Small sample too. On their website they say that it will help you fight the early signs of aging and will prevent wrinkles.It is an oil-free and fragrance free cream formulated for the first signs of ageing. I can only say that it is moisturizing and did not trigger my allergies. It seems like a good but pricey cream. The sample was small so I cannot say that I saw any difference on my skin.
Full size; $5.50
It's an organic non-GMO containing lip balm. Before I used EOS I would have been thrilled to have received it, but I am really addicted to EOS lip balms. It is ok but a bit boring. After sampling I gave it to my mum because I prefer to use my little eos balls. It's an ok product.
Full size: $29
Sample size:8ml -?
Manna Kadar illuminating glo- it has a very delicate color. Very. I did not see a big difference when I used it, but it might make a difference to someone who does not use a lot of products and applies it by itself. It is very lightweight and can be mixed with foundation or lotion, and supposedly has a staying power of 16 hours. After experimenting I have decided that I will use it on my eyes or maybe lips as I do not like using illuminizers on my face. I liked this sample but will not be buying it again as I would not know how to fit it into my beauty routine (which is minimal I only just learned how to use a bronzer for contouring).
1 Eye shadow - $1.95
Oh Coastal Scents I just love you. I was thrilled when I saw the spoiler and checked that I was getting the samples. Even if I had not used anything else this is the sample that I was praying I would get. And the colors blended well with my tan. Not a lot of fallout. I use mostly the blue and green but maybe I will experiment with lemon one. Anyway. I love those <3<3<3 Definitely worth every penny to buy. This is the brand that I would choose over UD (because of the price but also because the quality of the eyeshadows is comparable to high end ones.
Full size: 1.7 ml - $59
Sample size: 7ml/0.25 fl oz- $8.67

To sum up I really like August's Ipsy. Hope you enjoyed yours too.
