July Glam Bag

I'm excited to announce my favorite glam bag thus far!

It's called Beach Beauty!



This time around I got my tracking number which said it had been processed on the 5th and it finally arrived on the 15th. Which seemed like FOREVER in comparison to my other bags. I actually got to see my showroom on Ipsy before it arrived, so it kinda ruined the surprise. Nonetheless this turned out to be my favorite one this far.

What I got:

Full sized pouty pop crayon by POP Beauty in Fuchsia Flirt ($25 for Collection of 6)
Sample sized eyeshadow palette by BH Cosmetics: California Collection  ($17.95 for a full-sized San Francisco, Hollywood or Malibu themed palette)
Trial sized suncreen by Coola: Mineral Face SPF Rose Essence Tinted Moisturizer ($5 for trial sized, $36 for full-sized)
Trial sized hairspray by Sexy Hair: Weather Proof Humidity Resistant Spray ($3 for trial sized, 17.95 for full-sized)
On-the-go sized oil roll-on purfume by Demeter in Salt Air ($10)

First off I'd like to say I loved this bag so much because it had products I'd actually use, besides the crayon.

I was so happy when I saw the eyeshadow colours because I know for a fact that I will use the San Fran & Malibu colours for sure! I was hesitant when I saw the purple but I tried it out on my wrist to see how dark it went on, and to my surprise its very light unlike other dark shadows! I'll definitely be trying that one out for date-night or a night out on the town.


I was hesitant to open to pouty pop crayon because I initially hated the colour and was going to try to give it away. Against my better judgement I opened it and tried it out. Oh god. I looked like a prostitute Barbie doll. Sorry for those of you who like it, but its awful. Not only was the colour bad, it came out kind of like a glossy wax, like I had actually used a crayon on my lips. Looks cheap and isn't made of environmentally friendly ingredients. I would give this to my kid to play dress-up with if I had one, that how cheap it looks. This was a no go for me.

I wasn't a huge fan of the tint to the suncreen only because you can't share with other a person of different ethnicity, and the rose scent definitely wasn't for me. But despite Ipsy's mess up on my preference, I still love the product/brand and will definitely be purchasing a full-sized non-tinted bottle. The sunscreen is hypoallergenic, paraben free and uses organic ingredients, vegan friendly, cruetly free, travel friends, recycle friendly AND green friendly. HOLY! YES PLEASE. Lovin' the natural earth products. I am a hypochondriac and love all things earth friendly for the body so I was all over this!

I liked the idea of having a small hairspray to chuck into my purse or when traveling. Not entirely sure how well its going to be for humidity, and I don't wear a ton of hairspray. When I did spray it into my hair yesterday in the hot humid heat though, it appeared to be just okay. Plus side was no crunchy hair, and it seemed to have a flexible hold, but I can't say I approve it for humidity yet.

Finally, the roll-on perfume. I'm wearing it right now, and as much as the scent does please me, I'm not sure when I'd ever wear it. Outside? To the beach?  It seems to me that most people don't get all gussied up and put perfume on to go kayaking or hang out in the lake. This just seems to be a bug-attraction. I wouldn't wear it on a date, or out somewhere fancy because its a laid-back scent, and unless I'm getting dressed up, there isn't a need for perfume. So I like it, but its not practical for my lifestyle.
