Ipsy September 2013

I was so excited to recieve a Butter London Polish in my Ipsy it kinda made up for the rest of the bag! The color is La Moss, a beautiful oxblood vampy burgundy color! Love it! This is my third Butter London Polish (I've kindly been gifted my other two!) and wish I could dole out the dough but alas the older I get the thriftier I get;) 

The bag is a blue printed bag- not my fave so I'll def gift this one. 

Also included: 

-It's So Big Volumizing mascara By Elizabeth Mott. Haven't heard of this Brand but love trying new mascaras! 

-Starlooks Eyeliner in Obsidian. Also can always use a black eyeliner. I can throw this in my makeup bag in my purse and not worry about it getting to beat up. 

-Cailyn Tinted lipbalm in Big Apple. I'd read that this is more that just a tinted lil balm and when I swatched it I could see it def packs a lot of color! It's gorgeous! My lips are terribly dry right now so I won't be wearing it until my lips get better:)

Can't wait for Octobers Ipsy- mg birthday month Ipsy;) 

Ipsy August 2013

This months Ipsy is another great month- the makeup bag is purple and really cute! the makeup bags are a great size for carrying keys and a lippie. Since I can't bring my purse in my work area I use one of my Ipsy makeup bags to keep my cell phone and keys with me :)
This months theme is Glamour Academy. I saw some blogs post some sneak peeks and was excited (but did not expect one myself!) to see a sample of the new UD Revolutionary Lipstick. I received 69 which is a beautiful bright red! I only swatched it on my arm but love it. It took quite a few wipes to remove - which means it probably has great lasting power. Also included was Mica Shimmer powder in Bronze. One swipe showed up beautifully- I can even use this for the décolleté area before a night out.
There was a Pixi Lash Booster mascara- girl can never have enough mascaras! I love the few Pixi products I've tried and look forward to trying this one. I'm not a huge fan of the Smashbox photo finish primer- may gift this one. Last but not least Michael Todd Pumpkin Facial mask. I've seen this brand mentioned in many of my favorite blogs so I was excited they included this one! My oily skin will not let up in this sweltering heat- its been acting up and I'm getting spots more than usual (but that's probably due to stress).
I'm so happy with this months Ipsy!

Ipsy June 2013

*subscription purchased by me*
This months Ipsy might be my favorite because of the cute leopard and neon bag!! I haven't really liked any of the past bags as much as I love this one! I'm crazy about leopard and neon- and make up bags ;)
Also included in this months Ipsy:
NYX cream blush in Tickled - I love NYX blushes - def think they give MAC a run for their money :)) it's a gorgeous peach with a golden glow!
Psssst dry shampoo - can never have enough of these- especially during summer!
Cailyn gel eyeliner in Purple- have not heard of this brand but am excited to try new brands, and a purple gel liner.
JCat cream sparkle palette- not to excited about this since 1. I would not put this much glitter near my eyes 2. The reviews I've seen/read in this ate not to great. It's streaky and messy. Looks nice in the package but not for me:/
Starlooks Tickle Me lip pencil- another new brand. I've worn this several times already, alone and with a gloss. So creamy and applies like a lip stick. Excuse my dry lips in the picture, but the color is gorgeous!
