Happy Wednesday dolls!
Instead of a review today, I will be showing you what I received in my May 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag. I intended to put this post up on Monday because I feel like my blog has been lacking posts lately, but I wasn’t able to finish editing my video and photos Sunday night (I would have been up till 5am). Anyway, let’s get started!
Watch my May 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag Reveal Video:
Theme: Summer Friday
This bag was inspired by everyone’s favorite Summer treat; Ice Cream! This bag is transparent, has an ice cream cone design, and is water resistant for any poolside parties! I think the bag is different but still pretty cool. You never know when a water resistant bag comes in handy. Only complaint is that my bag has a gap in the zipper, so if it fell into a pool, my makeup would get ruined. But then again, I don’t think I’d wear makeup if I was going for a swim. 🙂
Bag Contents:
- Mellow Cosmetics Creamy Matte Lipstick
- Urban Decay Afterglow 8-hour Powder Highlighter in Sin
- Jelly Pong Pong Supercharged Super Intense Eyeshadow Duo in Electric
- Briogeo Rosarco Milk™ Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray
- Royal & Langnickel MODA™ Royal & Langnickel Precision Angled
First Impressions:
I really liked all the contents in this month’s bag. I haven’t tried the majority of these brands, except for an eyeshadow from Urban Decay that I got at Ulta as a birthday gift last year. I am very excited to try Briogeo Leave-in Conditioning Spray the most for the sole fact that I’m working on a haircare routine. I’m still looking for products that work for my hair. I am looking forward to playing around with the makeup and the brush, so I hope all these products work out for me. 🙂

That highlighter looks really pretty and I’m loving that brush. I have a makeup brush addiction. I don’t need any more but sometimes I can’t help myself. I got Ipsy for almost a year and I never got one brush. The bag is cute too!

This is my second brush I believe. They seem to be putting more brushes in, more than they used to. Almost everyone else that is subscribed has gotten brushes lol.
And let me know which brushes you have. I need to invest in some and I’m desperately in need. Mine are cheap 😑

I have almost all the Real Techniques brushes. Ulta has them buy one get one half off and sometimes even buy one get one free. They are my favorite brand and I think the most expensive single brush is $10 and the sets are usually around $15 and you can always use Ulta coupons.

I will have to wait on that then 🙂 I mostly want fluffy brushes, dense ones and the like since I use so many for the eyes LOL
But thank you, I will look into their sales and coupons!

ROSSY! YOUR HAIR, I LOVE IT!!!! What is your secret to get those waves?!?!? Secondly I love how you opened it up from the beginning for the first time so that we get the same suspense of whats in there! I actually love the bag, I didn’t notice the gap in mine but now I want to go home and check. I love how big and spacious it is though, I’m using it as my main make up bag currently 🙂 I was overjoyed getting the Urban Decay highlighter, I already used it and it’s such a pretty color on and it did seem to last me the full 8 hours at work and more! I hope you like it too! I forgot what else was in mine, I think it was nail polish, a tinted moisturizer (LOVE), a red matte stick and eye liner. Very content with my bag this month!
xo, JJ

I used a waver and then ran my fingers through my hair to sort of “separate” the strands. I then used dry shampoo to give a little volume (might work better with a volumizing dry shampoo than any regular one). And I also use a little bit of hair spray to keep flyaways at bay and to also tease it a little for more volume. 🙂 I’ve been enjoying doing my hair like this but it takes me forever and it sucks because I have to use heat 😦
I love how big it is too! I’ve been using my makeup bags for everything lol. Oooog sounds like you got a really good bag! I’d love to see the liner! 🙂

Looks like I need to get myself a waver! I showed one of the girls in my office your hair because she’s just obsessed as I am lol and she was like that’s for sure got to be a waver! Do they come in different sizes because I’d want the same sized waves that you get.

They do come in different sizes. You’d have to be careful not to get one that’s too small or your hair will look like it’s crimped hahaha. And I can’t remember what size I got! 😣 I’m gonna look through my amazon history if it goes that far back *fingers crossed* and then I’ll get back to you on that 😊

Ok, so I didn’t buy it online because I remembered that I found it at my store (incredibly good luck). But amazon still sells the exact same one. Here’s the link:
