My July ipsy Glam Bag arrived yesterday and while I am not usually ipsy’s biggest fan, even I was excited for this month. I was excited when I first saw the spoilers and then when I looked in My Glam Room when it opened, I was even more excited!
ipsy ships via DHL Global Mail and takes forever to arrive. I once heard an explanation of their shipping methods and it basically involved hitching a ride on whatever truck had extra space and them dealing with the logistics of where it ended up and how to get it to its destination later.
It’s kind of hard to do an ipsy first look since it’s in a bag, but this is what it looked like when I took it out of the bag.
As usual, ipsy doesn’t do an information card. Rather, they include a card listing the month’s theme (the July ipsy theme was “Beach Beauty”) and discounts amounts for each of the brands that partnered with ipsy this month. Here’s what my July ipsy glam bag contained:
~Benefit Benetint ($6): This was probably the item I was most excited about. I love benetint and consider it a makeup bag staple. Sure I already have a big bottle of it, but this will be perfect for traveling! Love benetint!
~Coola Mineral Sunscreen ($5.04): It just occurred to me that I have gotten so much sunscreen this summer. I am excited to get them every time, but I *might* need to move to somewhere were I get outside more in the winter months. I haven’t unsealed this yet to smell it (I don’t like to open things until I know I will use them right away), but I have read that the scent is a bit much? Did you get this? What’d you think?
~Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon (Fuchsia Flirt) ($4.16): I love lip crayons and although the color on this one is a tad bright, I don’t even care. It’s fun and summery and I love it.
~Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray ($6.65): When I heard about some of the options for this month, I immediately crossed my fingers for this! It smells beachy and gives my hair texture, which I like. Off all the texture hair stuff I have gotten recently (Julep Sea Salt, it Surf Spray and this), I don’t know which I like the best? I need to use each of the on consecutive days and then decide.
~bhcosmetics California Collection ($1): I was shocked to check out the bhcosmetics website and find that you can get a ton of shadows in a pallet for $10. This is a great pallet and Malibu is my favorite.
Bonus Item: Nicole by OPI (Pretty in Plum) ($7): I received this item for referring to friends to ipsy last month and of course I love it. It’s nail polish. What’s not to love?
All totaled the July ipsy MyGlam bag has a value $22.85 (or $29.85 if you include the polish). I totally loved this month and months like this make me want to keep my ipsy subscription. In comparison, last month’s bag was worth $48.48 and I was just meh about it. But July ranked right up there with May’s bag, which I also loved!
