Ipsy Glam Bag May 2013 Review

Hey everyone! So anyone who knows me, knows about my love of makeup! I found this great service called Ipsy. I know.. I know, you're asking yourself, "what's Ipsy?!". Ipsy is a monthly subscription based program where you pay $10/month and recieve 4-5 different products. These 4-5 products are usually worth way more then your $10 subscription. I recieved my first glam bag, and I must say, I'm very impressed. There are a variety of different glam bags based on your personal prefrences, so other Ipsy subscribers may have one or two different items. The products come in a cute little makeup bag and a hot pink envelope. Here's what I recieved this month:

Pretty nice huh? This month I recieved a NUME finishing serum sample, a full size Zoya nailpolish ($8), a Pacifica Roll on perfume ($10), a full size Juice Beauty lipgloss ($22), and a sample size Yaby conceealer.

Just the full size products alone would end up costing $40, so I feel my $10 was well spent! Here's a breakdown of each product.

NUME finishing serum:

I really liked this hair product. It's very silky when you put a drop in your hands and I definatley noticed my hair feeling softer after applying. You only need a few drops, otherwise you will end up with oily hair, but those few drops really do make your hair look great! I would recomend this product and will end up buying the full size in the future. This serum is $29 for 2 fl ozs, but like I said, a little goes a long way!

Zoya spring 2013 nailpolish in Blu:

I have yet to put on a top coat (Leo has kept me very busy!), and my nail polish has just started chipping at the tip of my nails. I put this on a little over a week ago, so a top coat would've made tghis polish last even longer. This is my first experience with Zoya, and I think I may like them better then my beloved OPI nail polish! *gasp* The horror! There were five other colors that Ipsy subscribers could've recieved, I'm happy with this bue color! I've been getting a ton of compliments on my nail polish, so a big THANK YOU to Ipsy!

Juice Beauty lipgloss in Pink: 

When I heard rumours about a full size lipstick or lipgloss being sent out, I was praying I would get the lipgloss and Ipsy heard me loud and clear! I love, love, LOVE this lipgloss! It's made out of natural ingrediants and you can taste the berries after applying it on. The color seems to be one of those that would work with any skin color, I want more stuff from this company!

Yaby concealer:

I'm not a concealer wearer and only swatched this. It looks like it would work for my skin tone, but this was a "meh" product for me. I figure if I hate it, it'll work perfectly as a primer for my eyelids when I put on my eyeshadow. I'm thrifty like that! *grins*

Pacifica Perfume Roll-on in Tahitian Gardenia:

 I usually don't like Gardenia as a scent, but this roll -on isn't horrible smelling. I've used it a few times and thankfully the citrus-ey undertones make it a-ok in my book! This one is staying in my purse for times when you just need a little refreasher or get an invite to go out after work.

My favorite product: Juice Beauty Lipgloss

My least favorite product: Yaby concealer

I hope my review was helpful, see you all in June when I review the June Glam bag!
