Ipsy Glam Bag May 2015

Another month, another Ipsy Glam Bag! This month’s theme was Jetset. I just got back from a trip, so this is a tad late. Still, I roadtrip and try to travel as much as possible, so I can always use products that are geared toward pack-and-go. This bag came only a couple of days ago, hence why the post isn't up until June. Ridiculous. Bad, bad shipping this month.

The bag itself also looks really trendy. I’ve seen bags like this at almost every retailer, so I think that it’s great that they did something so on-point.

 In the bag:

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + BONUS Revolution High-Color Lipgloss

Get primed and ready for action. Urban Decay's long-lasting, waterproof liner glides on smoothly to prime AND define—for long-lasting lip color and clean lines. Smooch. Pout. Smack. Nibble. Lick. 24/7 stays put through everything (yes, EVERYTHING) you do. When you use this liner to fill in your lips completely, it primes them for lipstick or gloss, grabbing on to color to help it last.

Next, finish the bad girl beautiful look with a sample of Urban Decay's brand new Revolution High-Color Lipgloss—insanely intense color with high shine. The high-coverage, ultra-pigmented formula lays down all the color you crave in one coat. This lippie is also laced with Hilurlip™, which defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller.

The lipgloss samples are so so sticky. I don't think I'll ever get used to that. I'm not interested in getting the full size because of their sticky texture. The liner however definitely makes my lipsticks and glosses stay on longer, so that one I can recommend easily.

Full size: $20

Peter Lamas Detoxifying Citrus C Facial Cleanser

This Detoxifying Citrus C Facial Cleanser invigorates skin with a potent fusion of natural ingredients. A purifying blend of Chamomile, Coconut and Alba Bark combine to create a rich lather that locks-in moisture while Wheat Protein smoothes and strengthens skin. Vitamin C and Beta Carotene work to detoxify, protect and energize, giving you softer, younger-looking skin.

This is a pretty standard cleanser. I have been using it and its just fine. Nothing special, not holy grail, but gets the job done.

Full size: $24

Sample size: $6

Jesse's Girl Pure Pigment Eye Dust in Brown Sugar

These pure pigment eye dusts can be used alone as loose eye shadow, or over your Eyeshadow Primer for an all-day, crease-free look. Each container includes a sifter insert.

This was so strange. I don't like loose shadows to start with, but then this also has a weird finish. It goes on almost matte, but has a shininess to it. I'm still playing with it, but I think it will take some getting used to.

Pixi by Petra Beauty Bronzer

This deluxe bronzing powder gives your complexion the warmth and luminosity of naturally sun-kissed skin. Hydrating, silky-smooth & long-wearing, it also contains Vitamin E to protect skin against free radicals

This is way too shiny for me to use to contour, and that's really all I use bronzer for. Because of that, this one is going to a better home. It is really nice and goes on smoothly, it's just the sheen that I don't like.

Full size: $18 (comes with a brush)

Sample size: $8

CoTZ Face Natural SPF 40

CōTZ® for Face is cosmetically-elegant. A Balanced Mineral Complex that feels silky & soft and blends translucent, with a sheer matte finish. Superior protection against sun-accelerated age-marks has never felt this nice. This weightless formula will leave your skin feeling silky, smooth, and non-greasy. Layers invisibly under makeup. 100% Free of Oils, Chemical Sunscreens, Preservatives, Fragrances, Oils, Parabens, PABA, Gluten, Phythalates

This looks so dark, but goes blends out to be the right tone for me eventually. I haven't gotten sunburned wearing it, but it also isn't enough coverage for me.

Full size: $19.99

Sample size: $4.66

Total value is $35.58.
