Ipsy Glam Bag: July 2017

Hear my thoughts about Ipsy's July Glam Bag and see if it Glammunition approved!


This month, I received the July Glam Bag and let's talk about how ADORABLE the bag is this month. When you flip it over, you see the back side of the egg and its little tushy. However, I showed it to my mother and she didn't think it was as cute. 

Let's be real, with the July heat, we can all spiritually relate to this over easy egg. We are finally going to reach triple digits here in Oklahoma. But enough about the weather, lets get into the products!

SO SUSAN BLENDER BRUSH

This brush is literally SO SOFT. It's dense enough to pack but it's tapered to blend into smaller detailed areas that you want to reach. I cannot wait to use this everyday!

OFRA SINGLE EYESHADOW IN "GOLD RUSH"

I got this in my bag and when I opened up the plastic holder for the single eyeshadow and there was pigment all over it. However, I cleaned it up and swatched it and oh my gosh, it's so pigmented that it looks foiled. I can't wait to receive more Ofra shadows from Ipsy.

HANALEI ROSE LIP SCRUB

When I signed up for Ipsy and did the "what products do you prefer" quiz, I never asked for lip scrubs or products like it. I wasn't too thrilled to receive this in my glam bag this month but I gave it to my mother. She enjoys the lip scrub a lot and she uses it at work frequently because her lips are very dry.

COUGAR BEAUTY 24 HOUR LIQUID LIPSTICK IN "MULBERRY" 

This liquid lip confused me at first. On the box when you get it, the shade looks dark purple but the actual product is like a mauvey-rose shade. I swatched it on my hand and it was that mauvey-rose shade. However, when it dries down, it becomes a darker purpley-red shade that will look PERFECT in the fall. In my opinion, this feels better on the lips compared to a Kylie matte liquid lip but has the same durability. I was surprised by this liquid lip and can't wait to use it!

EYEKO SKINNY LIQUID EYELINER IN "BLACK"

Again, when I signed up for Ipsy, I didn't want eyeliners. I don't like doing liquid eyeliner, I am not that great at it and it takes too long for me to master. This is the 2nd month is a row to receive a liquid eyeliner. But for the eyeliner junkies out there, this is a very pigmented black liner. I'm not too sure about if it cracks or not but it's definitely pigmented as all heck. 


JULY GLAM BAG RATING:  ♛♛♛♛

This month's bag, even though I got two products that I wasn't thrilled about, was pretty decent. The brush and the liquid lip took the cake for the best products in this month's bag. The bag itself was so cute and I can't get over it! I just hope Ipsy does not send me another liquid eyeliner because the two I've received is all I'll ever need for awhile.

Sephora vs Ulta: Which Do I Prefer?

Read about my input as to which I prefer and why! Chances are, if you live by a Sephora, you live by an Ulta.  The two stores are quite similar when it comes down to what they offer: a wide option of makeup brands that vary in price to tailor to your needs. However, if you've been in both store before, you notice the obvious differences. LOCATION Starting off with location, Sephora's are typically in a mall (or at least every one I've been in is) and it's lethal to my bank account. My Sephora is located right across from the Starbucks and the Chick-fil-a in the center of the mall and it stares at me every time I walk by, and of course I walk in. There's only one Sephora in the Oklahoma City Metro, making it very crowded. I try to avoid the magnetic pull of Sephora when it's the weekend because my feet are always getting stepped on by people or getting rolled over by a baby stroller. It's inconvenient in my opinion and bothers me during my shoppin

Tips and Tricks: DON'T THROW OUT YOUR MASCARA WANDS

Seriously, don't. Your empty mascara wands can help out in a big way! See how you can help out animals in need. Shoutout to Twitter for showing me this honestly. Back in March of 2017, a Facebook page named "Love What Matters" posted about why we shouldn't throw out our old mascara wands, but instead donate them! This is amazing program is genius and who doesn't love to help out animals? Appalachian Wildlife Refuge started a program called Wands for Wildlife  that helps local wildlife get cleaned up. Essentially you can take old mascara tubes that have expired, gone dry, or have completely run out of, clean them up, and send them to the address they’ve provided. The benefits of getting the wands clean is for the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge to clean larvae and eggs out of animal’s fur. The video of the little ducky getting brushed with the mascara wand is so CUTE , it makes me want to cry, but like happy tears. The people at Appalachian Wildlife R

My Thoughts: Beauty Reviews in the Beauty Community

I'll be discussing what I think about makeup reviews within the beauty community and my advice for product research! Makeup is truly a wonderful thing because one product doesn't work out well for one person but is another person's "holy grail" product. Once that person has a response to a product, some will review them (like me) to an audience on social media on whether it was good or not.  People do this to create a rating balance for a product because real people  want to know if a product is worth it or not. What I mean by "rating balance" is the ability to review every feature of a product from poor to exceptional fairly and getting an average star rating of it. People want to know if the quality is good, if the pigmentation is there, if it's travel friendly, so on and so forth.  My current makeup collection. I've researched numerous of reviews before purchasing the products I've bought! I think for some time, a lot of p
