Ipsy August 2014

The Ipsy August 2014 beauty glam bag was themed "Beauty Schooled". I wasn't loving last month's pink scalloped cosmetic bag and the August bag wasn't any better, though I did like the contents of this month's bag much better than last.

MANNA Sheer Glo Shimmer Lotion 

Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Nutrient Dense Anti-aging Lip Conditioner

Ipsy July 2014

The July 2014 Ipsy glam bag installment was themed "Sensationally Sunkissed". Given the summer theme of the bag, one would expect a tanning oil, but I would have been much happier with that left behind. I was very excited to try out the argan oil mascara by Pur Minerals since I am always on the lookout for a holy grail mascara and I love argan oil.

Ipsy January 2014

A look at my January 2014 Ipsy beauty bag subscription. Two favorites of the month that I am looking forward to trying are Nourish Organics Face Lotion and Briogeo Deep Conditioning Mask. Receiving hair products are pretty low priority in my beauty subscription, but this deep conditioning hair mask is free of parabens, silicones and pthalates. It is made up of rosehip, avocado and argan oils, so I'm interested this time, and let's be honest here, my hair needs some deep conditioning!
