August Ipsy

August Ipsy reviews and pictures

This months bag included an Urban Decay Revolution lipstick, a Mica Beauty eyeshadow, A Michael Todd charcoal scrub, a pixi lash booster mascara, and a pacifica BB cream.

This scrub has a gritty texture and a not so pleasant smell. I used it and it worked so well, my face has never been so soft. I'm not sure if this would be suited for sensitive skin, it is quite rough but for those have tougher skin this is something I would recommend. After I used this I felt the need to wash it off my face with another soap, as my face didn't feel clean. 

The sample is 1 fl oz valued at $5.29 if you were to purchase a full size of this product it would cost you $18 for 3.4 fl oz. Ipsy has a discount code for 30% off your order which would bring the price of a full size down to $12.60. 

This is pixi lash boosting mascara and quite honestly I didn't see much boosting of my lashes. It goes on like any other mascara and there isn't really much to write because it is the epitome of average. This is water proof and quite difficult to remove even with makeup remover. 

I have been informed that the mascara is 3g . The full size is 7g so this sample is worth $7.29, if you were to buy a full size it would cost $17. With Ipsy's discount of 20% off the full size would cost $13.60.

This is my favorite product in the bag, it is a full size Mica beauty eyeshadow in 17 bronze. It goes on extremely shimmery, and has great staying power even without a primer. It is a loose shadow but with a precision eyeshadow brush there is minimal fallout and it blends very well. In a past bad I received the same product in the shade Earth which is a light pink. 

This is full size so it is $14.95 for 2.5 grams. With Ipsy's discount code of 25% off a full size would cost $11.21.

Here is the product everyone was hoping to recieve an Urban Decay lipstick. I received the shade Anarchy, the other shade option is 69. This is a good lipstick but I haven't noticed anything revolutionary about it. It has good staying power, no bleeding, it goes on bright, true to it's shade, and smooth. I included the quarter to demonstrate the size of the sample. I have many MAC lipsticks preform slightly better or about the same so unless one of the shades is something you have been searching for I would not necessarily drop everything to purchase this. 

The sample is 0.03 oz which is 1/3rd of the full size. This is worth $7.33 with a full size being for $22. Ipsy's discount code is not a discount but free shipping on lipsticks only. For many of you who don't live near a Sephora or Ulta this is worth something. For me personally this coupon is pointless as I live near many makeup and department stores.

The amount of effort to get this bad picture is ridiculous. If you want a BB cream with packaging that photographs well this is not the one for you. About the actual product it has smart shade technology as someone with medium skin this matches me perfectly and is light and closer to a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. When I put this on extremely light skin it doesn't match and makes it tan. If you have extremely fair or dark skin this is not the product for you. But if goes on nicely and has light coverage, it also stays on quite well. 

This sample is 10ml which is worth $5.33 a full size is 30ml and costs $16.00, with Ipsy's discount code of 20% off a full size would cost $12.80. 

This bag in total is worth $40.19
