Dear World,

We live in a time where many men and women obsess over appearance. I will not lie, I am one who loves to look and feel pretty all the time. So since some pretty cool products are expensive, I decided I would try out Ipsy. Ipsy is a monthly subscription services that charges $10 per month and sends 4-5 sample products to your address in a small bag that has a different design every month. These bag designs change and what you receive every month changes, the products can range from make up to skin care and all personalized just for you.

This month I received some products that I am just absolutely obsessed with, so I figured I share with all of you!

1. Rodial: Smokey Eye Pen in Black

Personally, I have never tried smokey eyes because I have very small eyes and never thought it would work. Well, I got it and felt adventurous and it turns out that it does look super amazing and that even small eyes can be smokey. As for the product, it is very smooth to put on and easy to blend out to make it smokey. It lasts quite a while which is even better especially for special events.

You can order this online from Rodial US (make sure it is US because they have a UK shipping place too.) It is a bit pricey at $21.00 but you do not need a lot to make it work and it is not an everyday make-up style.

2. Jersey Shore Cosmetics: Mongongo Lip Conditioner in Vanilla Coconut Cream

Being on a medication that makes everything super dry especially my lips I was super excited to have received this. It does not clump or make it look like just your lips are sweating, which is nice because much like no one likes lotions that make them look and feel greasy, I am pretty sure no one likes chapsticks that are the same way. On the website to order it, you have the choice of .15 oz tube or .25 oz tube along with other flavors(?)!

You can order this from the Jersey Shore Cosmetics website and this is not to bad for a good quality chapstick at $10.00 a tube.

3. It: 12-In-One Amazing Leave-In Treatment

I will make this product short and sweet. This is for sure something I will buy again it makes your hair smell and feel like when you have just left the salon and I know I cannot possibly be the only to like that.

You can get this product on Amazon for $11.94 a bottle before shipping.

4. LORD&BERRY: 20100 Maximatte Limited Edition

I am deeply in love with the color of this lipstick! Since I have such pale skin some lipsticks can make me look even more pale -- yes I know I could not wear them but there are different colors for different seasons and skin types, and yeah. However, this one much like a Marc Jacobs one I have received before is so subtle and classic. It is smooth but not creamy and helps keep your lips moisturized even though it is a matte lip.

It is also a little pricey but it is not bad because you can sharpen it down. On the website it is $20.00.

And last but most certainly not least for my August Glam Bag!

5. NYX: BORN TO GLOW LIQUID ILLUMINATOR

Of all the products I received I was very excited to get this one because I have yet to try an illuminator and was curious to see how it looked and worked. Again, since I am very pale this was very intense on my face unless mixed with a lighter highlighter, which is easily done. I actually use this as a liquid eyeshadow and I fell in love with it because it made my eyes look a really pretty grey, rusty blue color!

This product can be found on the NYX website for $7.50 or possibly in stores at places like Target or Walmart!

All of these products are super amazing and much like other bags I have received. I fully intend to buy certain products if they run out, which is sort of the point you know?

Sincerely,

Your Glam Bag Queen
