May Ipsy Glam Bag

I wanted to share my May Ipsy Glam Bag with you. This is my first glam bag and I was really excited to receive it. Ipsy is a $10 monthly subscription. You fill out a questionnaire and they send you 4-5 deluxe size samples in a makeup bag to try each month. I enjoy trying new beauty products, so I thought this would be a good fit for me.

If you would like to see my video review of this bag, you can check it out HERE.

Items I Received 

- The Bag itself was just okay for me. I mostly didn't like the shape of the bag.

- Urban Decay - 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + BONUS Revolution High-Color Lipgloss
 I really like the pencil. I have used it with other lipglosses and it does a great job keeping them in place. The High-Color Lipgloss lives up to it's name. You get a ton of color payoff and it stays put!

- Balanced Guru - Style Me Hair Oil
I liked this pretty good. It smells nice and I like it on the ends of my hair when I wear my hair curly.

- NUXE - Rêve de Miel® Facial Cleansing and Make-Up Removing Gel 
This was just okay. I didn't like the smell and it was kind of sticky.

- Chella - Eyebrow Color Pencil
This was another favorite in the bag. I received the color Tantelizing Taupe and it was the perfect match for my brows. It is a pretty dry formula that blends well and stays put.

- Jesse's Girl - Pure Pigment Eye Dust
This was my favorite in the bag. I wasn't expecting to like it at all because it is a loose shadow, but I gave it a try and I'm glad that I did. It is the perfect warm brown to wear in your crease. It also blends really well.

 I am calling the May bag a winner!

Influenster Bella VoxBox Review

*This is not a sponsored post. I received all products complimentary from Influenster for the purpose of testing and reviewing. All opinions are my own.

I first heard of Influenster way back when it first started. I signed up for the account and then never really did anything with it. I pretty much forgot about it.

I was scrolling through IG a few months ago and came across someone's VoxBox that contained a few makeup items. I have been very into makeup and skincare the last several months, so I was very intrigued. I downloaded the app and started filling out all of the surveys that help them get to know me better. I did a few product reviews and then answered some questions. It didn't take long for me to get matched to a box. I don't know that everyone gets matched and receives a box. I think it depends on your surveys and how active you are. I like trying and reviewing new products, so this has been right up my ally.

The Bella VoxBox

Y'all I was so excited to get this in the mail when it came! I did a full video review on my YouTube Channel and included a lot of details, so be sure to check that out HERE. I am just going to give you a quick overview here on the blog.

ecoTOOLS Complexion Collection Mattifying Finish Complexion Brush and a $1 off Coupon for Future Purchase - This is my first brush from ecoTOOLS. I have really enjoyed it. It is much softer than my Bare Minerals Complexion Brush. I will probably pick up a few more from this brand.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate - This was my favorite thing in the box! I have been wearing this lipstick pretty regularly since I got it. I received the shade 08. It doesn't have a name, but it is a nice wearable neutral mauve-y color. I like the way it feels on my lips and it lasts pretty well without drying my lips out.

Not Your Mother's Deja Vu Do Style Extender - This was a fun product to try. I have purchased other items from this line before and always been pleased. I really liked the way this smells. I will probably pick another one up the next time I see it on sale for the smell. I can't say that it really extended my style any longer than normal under normal conditions, but it did prevent "hat head" after a long day of fishing wearing a baseball cap. I call that a win!

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - I can't really say a whole lot about this product. They were out of the color that I needed and the medium was WAY too dark for this very pale white chick. I gave a  nice demo in my video in case you want to check that out.

Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Mascara created by Kate Moss - I really wanted to like this mascara, but I just don't. I liked it the first few days, but it just kept getting worse for me. I think the biggest thing is the massive brush on the applicator. It it very large and shaped very differently from any other mascara wand I have ever used. I just could't get the hang of using it and kept getting mascara all over my eyelids.

Dove Fruit - I received the chocolate covered blueberries and they were delicious! They are a nice little treat. You definitely taste more chocolate than you do blueberry, but they are still very good if you like Dove Chocolate.


Have you tried any of these products? How did you like them?

Target Beauty Box - Spring 2015

 Did you know that Target has a Beauty Box that they offer for $5 a few times a year? I did not, until a few months ago. It was something that I stumbled upon on youtube. I never did figure out how to officially know when they are available, but I follow a few people on IG that let all of their followers know when they are available. Make sure you follow me on IG so that I can let you know next time.

I was pretty excited to get one, because they sell out really fast. The Loreal Makeup Setting Spray is worth $13.99 on it's own, so it is a great deal for anyone that likes to try new products.

I did a quick review of all of the products on my YouTube Channel. You can check that video out HERE to hear all of my thoughts on each product. If you like the video please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.

Products Mentioned (I linked to the full size product on Target's website and noted what size I received in the box.)
Loreal Makeup Setting Spray - Full Size
Tresseme Hair Spray - Travel Size
Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Shampoo - Travel Size
Maybelline Color Elixer in Rose Redefined - Full Size


Did you happen to snatch one of these boxes up? If so, what was your favorite item in the box? Did you know this box existed?
