My August Ipsy Bag

This is the first time I am putting a video in my blog.  I just got my Ipsy bag.

I just want to say I really love Ipsy.  They have begun to personalize the shipments, so even though I enjoyed the very teenagery glittery stuff, I asked for more..ahem...age appropriate...items in my shipments.  I now get mostly pinks and reds and things that go with my skin tone and type.  I like to think that my glamor is more classic than trendy....though I really miss some of the fun stuff I was getting before that my niece Cheb would glom off of me.

This shipment was entitled "Glamour Academy".  The bag was a lovely royal purple with a Ipsy family crest.  Very roomy and nicely lined.  I have used my bags for clutches sometimes when I just needed my license and a credit card (and makeup, of course)

In the bag was Michael Todd True Organic Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub.  It seems to work really well.  I had to hold down a teenage boy while one of his friends rubbed it into his face.  I was amazed on how much smoother and clearer his face was....and how bruised I was afterwards.

I tried the Noya Kosher Natural Lip Balm in Cherry on him while I had him down.  It seemed to make his lips look really kissable.  After his friend told him that, I opened the door and let them duke it out on the back yard.  As long as the neighbors don't call the police, we are gold.

Next was the Pacifica Natural Skincare Alight MultiMineral BB Cream with Shade Correcting Technology.  It seemed to really blend into my skin and I think it is a keeper.  I want to get a big tube now.  Thank goodness for the discount that Ipsy will provide if I buy it online.  I want MORE!!!

A really pretty tube in mint of mascara was next.  The tube was mint, not the color.  The color is Blackest Black and the brand is Pixi.  It is a lash booster mascara and I am thrilled with it.  Everyone knows I can't live without my mascara.

The last item is Chella's Dazzling Dark Brown Eybrow Color.  It is a slim white pencil with a twist core.  I like that a lot as I hate hate hate having to sharpen eyebrow and eyeliner pencils.  My brows are naturally darker than my hair, so I might give this to my mother.  My brows are darker than the pencil. 

All in all, everything is a YAY!  Ipsy is a wonderful product service and I have been able to sample and love products that would have been difficult for me to find locally.  It also provides discounts and coupons for the other products that were offered this month that I didn't receive.  So if I truly have my heart on some sparkley blue eyeshadow that is guaranteed to make me feel perky.....I can get it!

Don't be Blah!  

(I know I promised to either blow up a sink this week or show a video of a teenager doing a dangerous stunt and getting hurt, but Ipsy trumped it all!)
