Ipsy June 2017 Glam Bag Unboxing and First Impressions

Happy Saturday, dolls! How is your weekend treating you so far? 🙂 Today, I’ll be sharing with you the contents of my June Ipsy Glam Bag! You can find my May Ipsy Glam Bag here. Ipsy is a beauty subscription service that provides 5-6 sample/full-sized items for $10/month. What I like about Ipsy is that the price encompasses shipping, and it regularly includes full sized products in a cute cosmetics bag.

June’s theme is Volume Up and the Glam Bag comes with 5 products in this beige polka dot pouch with a lip design.

Vasanti Power Oils Lip Gloss in Super Mom– Full Sized (0.08 oz) – Retail Price $19 –(vasanticosmetics.com)

Made with healing and nourishing natural oils, Power Oil Lip Gloss gives you the colour and fullness of a lipstick and the finish of a gloss that’s smooth and shiny, but never sticky (vasanticosmetics.com). Super Mom is a flattering nude mauve shade that is appropriate for everyday wear. The formula is pigmented, coating the lips in even color in one swipe. It has a glossy, but non-sticky finish that will easily transfer. However, I am not a fan of the chemically scent and taste. This isn’t a bad lipgloss, but sadly, there was nothing standout about it for me so I’ll be passing this along :(

Margaret Dabbs Fabulous Hands and Feet in Green Daylilly – Full Sized (0.3 fl oz) – Retail Price ~$18 – (margaretdabbs.co.uk)

A Day Lily is unique in that the petals of the flower open and close at sunrise and sunset respectively, presented here in our dark aqua-green shade, perfect for night or daytime wear (margaretdabbs.co.uk). I was unable to test this polish formula as I currently have gel nails, but will update you once I do. Doesn’t this beautiful shade just scream “Summer”?! I LOVE the bright teal shade ?

The Balm Balm Springs Blush – Sample Sized (0.028 oz) – (thebalm.com)

Drive your beauty routine into full swing with Balm Springs – a new long-wearing blush from theBalm Cosmetics. This earthy rose shade compliments all skin tones. The talc-free, fade-resistant formula is perfect for hot days and even hotter nights (thebalm.com). This peachy pink shade looks flattering with both light, daytime looks and nighttime, smokey eyes. The Balm has the cutest vintage packaging ?

Doucce Maxlash Voluminizer Mascara – Deluxe Sample Sized – (doucce.com)

Intensify your lashes with outrageous volume and length. The XL brush fiber bristles glide through the lashes evenly, coating each lash for the ultimate volume. The velvet carbon black formula enhances the lashes adding depth and dimension that creates visually fuller and longer lashes. The creamy and buildable formula is clump-resistant, flake proof, smudge proof, and resistant to sweat and humidity. (doucce.com). I think I’ve received a full size of this mascara in a Boxycharm and it didn’t do much for my puny lashes. The brush is rather large so it isn’t precise enough to grab my smaller lashes and the formula, while pitch black, did not build enough length or volume. Unfortunately, this is another pass.

Delectable by Cake Beauty Coconut & Cream Triple Moisture Body Lotion – Deluxe Sized (2 oz) – (ulta.com)

Envelop yourself in pure decadence with this triple moisture body lotion. This super-duper formula glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly leaving your skin silky, smooth and sensationally supple (ulta.com). This sweet coconut scent smells delicious! It reminds me of those Banana Boat/Hawaiian Tropic Suntan Lotions and thereby, tropical vacations ? The formula is creamy, but not as thick as a body butter, and absorbs quickly into the skin. LOVE this scent!

Overall Rating: I was rather disappointed in my Glam Bag so I give this month a rating of 5/10 stars, based on my first impressions. June’s bag contained only 2 full-sized products with a total retail price of $37, making it the weakest bag in awhile, in terms of value. Unfortunately the only products I’m really gung-ho for are the Margaret Dabbs Nail Polish and Delectable Coconut Body Cream. The rest, I will be passing along and I’ll be crossing my fingers Ipsy comes through next month.

What did you receive in your June Ipsy Glam Bag? Which products are you most excited to test out?
