August Ipsy Glam Bag

Hey guys! Today I am going to be sharing with you all the contents of my August Ipsy Bag. The theme for August's Glam Bag is Glamour Academy. The bag is Ipsy's standard bag shape, and it's a sort of bright purple, with insignia, a crest, and the words, "glamour academy" on it gold.It's not my favorite bag ever, I will be honest. I find the design to be a little tacky, but I love the color, since purple is my favorite, and since I already have tons of bags from ipsy, I am not all the disappointed.



Let's go ahead and move on the most exciting part! The actual contents of the bag!!



The first product I received is actually an extra. With your subscription to ipsy, you get your own personalized referral link to share with your friends. If two people subscribe to ipsy through your referral link, you get an extra product in your bag. The extra this month was a nail polish from Lime Crime in the color Cream de Limon. I love the lime crime bottle. It's a really nice, frosted glass bottle, and the lime crime logo is a purple unicorn, which is pretty much perfect for me, since I adore unicorns and purple is my favorite color. haha. The actual color of the polish is a pale yellow, which I am excited to try. Yellow is one of the least represented color in my polish collection, and I am always on the lookout for a good one!

The next product I got is a Michael Todd True Organics Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub. Michael Todd is a pretty high end expensive brand if I am not mistaken, and I have heard good things about his line of skincare products. I know that the other product that they sent out from Michael Todd was a pumpkin face mask, and I was really hoping to get that because I love pumpkin products. But, I got the scrub, and I will definitely give it a try and share with you all my review of this product, as well as all the others in my video next month. The scrub contains 1 fl oz of product. And the coupon code gets you 30% off of Michael Todd Products, so that's fantastic!

Next up is a Mica Beauty Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in the color Bronze. I am fairly certain this is a full size product. It contains 2.5 grams of product, which is a huge amount! This product has a sifter lid, and it's loose pigment in a pretty bronze shade. I am generally not a fan of loose shadows, since they tend to be messy and get all over the place, but I will definitely give this one a shot! The coupon code for Mica Beauty offers is 25% off.

Another product in the bag is the pixi lash booster mascara. It's a deluxe sample size that contains 3.0 g of product. It is in the color blackest black. Pixi products, if I am not mistaken, are sold at Target, and are quite expensive for a drugstore brand. I've tried a primer from them previously, and enjoyed it so I am interested in trying out this mascara as well. The coupon code offers 20% off pixi products, so if I enjoy this mascara, I can use that code to get a discount on the full size!

Next is the pacifica alight multi-mineral BB Cream. This is another deluxe sized sample and contains 10 ML of product. So not a huge amount, but definitely enough for me to decide whether or not I like this product. This B cream claims to have shade matching technology, so we shall see how well it matches my skin. In genreal I love BB creams, so I am anxious to give this one a try! And the coupon code for pacifica is 20% off, and I have lots of much loved products from pacifica that I can purchase with that code, so yay!

Lastly is a sample size of the new Urban Decay Revolution lipstick. I got mine in the color Anarchy. It's a gorgeous bright in your face pink that is going to take some guts to wear and pull off, but I think I can manage. I love bright lip colors, and I am always up to try new Urban Decay products! Even though it's just a sample size of the lipstick, there's enough product in here to last me a good long time. Lipstick takes forever to go through, and I was just telling my husband I wanted to try out their new line of lipsticks, since I was a bag fan of their old lipstick line. So, I am quite pleased! The coupon code for urban decay snags you free shipping, which is great because Urban decay's shipping can be quite pricey. I am definitely going to be perusing UD's website to see what I can pick up. UD is one of my fave high end brands!!

So that's it! That's what I got in my August Ipsy bag. I am super excited to try everything out and I will definitely share with you all my thoughts on these products as well as the contents of my September bag next month! Can't wait!!  If you're interested in seeing a review on my July bag, as well as a closer look at the contents of my August bag, I recommend that you take a peek at my most recent youtube video!
