Ipsy June 2013 Glambag

I just recieved my June Glambag today!! Last month I was pleased with my products, so I was excited to see what this month would bring... and I was NOT disappointed! Without further delay, here is what I got in my glam bag this month:

I am super excited!!! Leopard print is one of my favorite prints and as soon as I finished taking my pictures, I emptied out May's bag and swapped it for this one in my purse. I couldn't wait to use my new makeup so as soon as Lil squish went down for a nap I played around with my new stash.

1) J Cat Sparkling Cream Palett: $4.49

Glitter, glitter everywhere!! Oh boy, I do love my glitter but I really wish someone would perfect the formula... This cream palette wasn't anything different from the other cream palette's on the market. It's a little difficult to get the glitter on your eyes without it streaking.  I know, I know, It's an all over face cream, but honestly.. who actually uses these palettes on anything other then your eyelids? I found this to be more "glittery" then NYX's sparkling cream palette but I still found it difficult to put on my eyelids the way I wanted it to look.

2) NYX Rouge Cream Blush $6

My first reaction? "OMG, it's so pink, I'm gonna look like a clown!"  I wasn't even going to bother putting it on when I first saw the color.. but what type of blogger would I be if I didn't try it out?! So I decided to woman up and put a bit on my cheeks after I applied my foundation, makeup remover out so I could quickly wipe it off.. Boy was I wrong! This color really blends in well, a little goes a long way! I was pleasantly surprised, I never thought I would like this color but it looks great with my skin tone. It's almost 5pm and it still looks great, most blushes (I usually use MAC) seem to fade away as the day goes, but not this one! Good job NYX!

3)Starlooks lip pencil in Tipsy: $12
This was another "OMG, I'm gonna look like a clown." reactions. I never would have picked this color to use on my lips. I know that neon lip colors are big this season, but it was never really something I thought I would try or even WANT to try. Go figure, I actually liked the look! It may not be "work" lip liner, but going out for a night in the city? Oh yea!

4)Psssst! Dry Shampoo 1.73oz: $3.23

This one is my "meh" product. I didn't care for it, I'm really anal about washing my hair every other day so I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to try out dry shampoo. Would I go out and buy this product normally? No.. but it may be good to have on hand in case we lose electricity and I have to rely on babywipes as the main sourse of cleansliness..(Hurricane Sandy anyone?).

*edit* So I was informed by my good friend that Dry shampoo is used for those in between days, when your hair is oily... Opps! My bad, I guess I will find a use for this afterall! Sweet!

5) Cailyn Cream eyeliner in Purple: $21

When I saw this on Ipsy's sneak peek post, I was crossing my fingers and praying to the makeup deity that I would get this in my glam bag.. and my prayers were answered!! I love cream eyeliner!! I have a few different colors from MAC (I love my teal blue liner) so I was excited when I saw this in my bag. I wasn't dissapointed either!! This liner goes on smoothly and doesn't get that cracked look that some liners tend to get. The brush is built into the cap of the liner so you won't ever lose it. Thank's for having my back makeup deity!!


And the best bag to date (IMO): LEOPARD PRINT!!!!

Ok, so we get a bag every month, but I REALLY like this one! I like the material as well, it's not flimsy and looks like it would be waterproof as well.

My favorite product: Cailyn cream eyeliner
My Least favorite product: Psssst! Dry hair shampoo

Bag cost estimate: $46.72!!! Pretty good for a $10/month service!

I hope my review was helpful! Remember, what I get may be different then what you get, but that is what makes Ipsy so great. Make sure to comment below and let me know what you loved from the June glam bag!!!
