IPSY June 2014 Bag Review

 Of course its July when I finish my review of my JUNE IPSY bag! Anyway, June was definitely a better month for me. I was excited to try all the product (except for the perfume, which I tried anyway). I received The Marc Anthony Beach Spray, Be the Bombshell mascara, Realtree perfume, NYX buttergloss in Crème Brulee and the OFRA universal eyebrow pencil. I liked the bag itself this month but I wish it was brighter and less Hawaiian shirt-like.

First, The Be the Bombshell mascara. I was really excited to try this but then I opened up the mascara and almost threw up. The smell was so AWFUL. It smelled like paint thinner, acrylic and garlic. With that repulsive smell, I couldn’t even CONSIDER putting it NEAR my eyes. Honestly, I don’t think that it is safe to use even though the company has assured that it is okay. I plan to clean out and brush and just use the brush

Next, the realtree perfume. I’m pretty picky about scents so I wasn’t really excited to receive this in my bag. I tested it out and smelled pretty much the same as some other scents. It was too much flowery and not enough of anything else. It just isn’t my scent.

Next, the OFRA eyebrow pencil. This eyebrow pencil is definitely not universal. Its just a medium-light brow which is too light for my brows. Also, the pencil itself was just too soft to use as an eyebrow pencil. However, I did find that this pencil is pretty decent eyeliner pencil. So I use it as a eyeliner and it’s nice. Below is the swatch.

Next, The Marc Anthony Beach Spray. I was really excited to try this because I can’t seem to find one that works for me. When I tried this on dry hair, it didn’t do anything. But it did work on wet hair. The scent is my favorite part of this spray though. The smell is to DIE for.  I plan on trying this again with my wet hair and try to keep it intact longer.

Finally, NYX butter gloss in Crème Brulee. Im not a big lipgloss person but I had to try this because I love NYX as a brand. This lipgloss was AWESOME! The smell was a delicious vanilla and it went on smoothly and wasn’t super sticky. The pink color was a bit too light for my taste but it will great for the winter months when my skin is lighter. I loved this product so much that I went out and bought another color! Below is a swatch.

Overall, my june bag was an improvement from my may bag. I got to try some nice things and even found a lipgloss I like! Cant wait for my july bag!
