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...

Anti-Haul: Summer 2017

Some of these products coming out aren't grabbing my attention and I'll be explaining why I will not be purchasing them! Throughout the summer, a lot of summer collections have already dropped but big beauty brands are now prepping for their fall/holiday collections. Some products have been teased, others leaked. So without any hesitation, let's dive into this anti-haul.  Anti-haul: A term made famous by beauty bloggers discussing what products they will not be purchasing that season TOO FACED WHITE CHOCOLATE BAR PALETTE This palette honestly looks like trash. Actually, let me backtrack that statement, the green, the peachy shade in the bottom left corner, and the orange shade look good, everything else is not appealing to me. The White Chocolate Chip Palette wasn't a major success in the first place. It had way too many light shades to really make a full  look. With the WCC's sister, we do see some pops of color and some crease shades and two pot...

Black Friday Haul 2017

Check out what I purchased this Black Friday and my shopping experience! The most wonderful time of the shopping year: Black Friday Weekend. My bank account is not happy with me, but I am quite content with what I purchased! I will be going over my experience, what I got, and I will do a follow up blog post with products that worked and didn't really work out for me. I've already tried out some of these products though but I won't spoil any of the de tails (yet). Enjoy browsing through my haul! Overall, everything in the photo above was what I purchased, except the NYX Advent Calendar (which Mr. Glammunition got for me on Black Friday). I really do like everything I got but I will still do a My Thoughts  over the whole haul. I won't go into depth about my opinion of the products but more of an overview of the product's details.  NYX LIPPIE COUNTDOWN On Black Friday, this advent calendar, containing 24 mini lippies, was on sale for $3...
