So I recieved my IPSY bag really late this month and my glam room changed a week before I received my bag. So the change in products was okay but I wish IPSY would notify me in the future. I recieved the Bare minerals Duo, Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass, Hang 10 Tanning Oil, Pop Beauty Bronzer, and Whet Nail Polish (Blue). The bag this month had cute scalloping but I hated everything else about the bag itself. The color is too pink and the texture is strange. I would like it more if it was a different color (green, yellow, blue, even a lighter pink).
First, the Bare Minerals Duo. I was really excited about receiving this duo instead of the cream shadow! The colors are my favorite and it is a wonderful duo! I really wanna buy some full sized bare mineral shadows but they are like 20+ dollars for like 2 shadows! I will be using this duo alot! This was my favorite item from IPSY so far!!

Next, Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass. I wasnt sure I would enjoy this product but it has its characteristics. The product is full sizes and the smell is okay (a bit strong). It is supposed to be a cheek and lip stain but when I tried it on my lips, it look forever to dry and the taste of it made me sick. If I hadnt taken some medicidation, I probably would have thrown up. The smell eventually became nauseating when it was on my lips. However as a cheek stain, This product was pretty good. It gave me a nice pinkish red glow on my cheeks and it was easy to use. The smell wasnt as bad when used on the cheeks. So as a cheek product, its good. As a lip product, It fails miserable.

Next, The Pop Beauty Bronzer. I am pretty tan so I dont usually use bronzers unless maybe in the winter. But I was willing to try this as a bronzer because it looked dark enough in the container. However, it was too light when applied. But the shadow itself was highly pigmented and smooth. It is definitely a perfect nude shadow with a light shimmer for me! It will be a good shimmer blending color as well. I really like the product.
Below is a swatch (the top color). It looks like it is darker than my skin but my face is darker than my back of my wrist.
Next, the hang 10 tanning oil. Even though I have tan skin, I love how tanning oils make my skin shine and so I was happy with receiving this product. The smell is really nice (probably not everyones taste but i like it). I havent used it as a tanning oil yet but I am excited to try it out!
Finally, The Whet Nail Polish. I was super excited to receive this nail polish because of the beautiful blue color. I really loved the color but the formula of the polish was super thin so it required 2-3 coats to get a full color. Without a base coat and finishing coat, the nail polish chips pretty easily. I shall try it with a base coat and finishing coat to see if that makes difference.
below is a swatch of the polish (no top or base coat, 2-3 swipes)
Overall, July was a pretty good month! I loved 3/5 products and 2 products are in middle. I cant wait to see what awaits for me next month.
