What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (that used to it) with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.
All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.
A very Late Macy’s that is so rare it is usually the first box that turns up every month.
This comes off really light I thought it would be brighter pink with how it looks. I’m sure I will find some use for this these are fine alot of people use them as bases as eyeliner it is a really popular product and it is nice to get it in a newer shade and not the standard Milk shade that has been around since it was created.
These are really cute very retro. I have never really played with nail wraps because I have no nails. But I want to try these let’s see if I manage to accomplish that.
This is a really pretty color for summer a nice bright corally red but we got one of of these once before and it was the worst formula of nail polish I have ever tried. That I won’t even give this a shot.
What is it: Every month Ipsy sends out a cute makeup bag of samples and full size items. You can review your bag for points that you can trade in for reward items. The rewards change often and the range between 300 points and 1000 points. You can get around 95 points every month.
If you want to subscribe you can subscribe HERE and skip the waitlist. That is my referral link so I do get points to spend but I’m not an affiliate I don’t make any money or anything it’s just the same link any subscriber would get.
You can choose one item in your bag every month which I really like. I will say the quality of the actual bag every month isn’t as consistent or as good as they have been in years past.
I missed the cut off to choose an item so I did not get to choose any items.

So I have loved the blushes I have tried from this brand but this was not that impressive. It also isn’t for sale so that it pretty odd too.
This feels like a whole lot of marketing and buzz words which is you know is not my thing. I like body scrubs and trying new ones so I am looking forward to using it.
This has the same feel as alot of my favorite brushes and I really like this it is super soft. I will say this is not cut and shaped perfectly which I expect for a $28 dollar price point.
I literally cannot believe it is June and Summer and like wow where has this year gone.
Skincare (10)
Avene Thermal Spring Water this was just water in a can it was nothing I would buy or recommend it just made my face wet it didn’t give me that refreshed feeling I like my facial sprays to give me.
Repurchase: No
Derma E Overnight Peel this did nothing.
Repurchase: No
Dermalogica Prisma Protect Spf 30 I really didn’t care for this it was very sticky and heavy. It worked well but I just really hated how long it took to sink in.
Repurchase: No
Makeup Revolution Skincare Pick-Me-Not Blemish Patches these are ok they help reduce the size and inflammation a bit but they don’t fully heal it but they help a lot with keeping me from touching pimple which is good.
Repurchase: Maybe
Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Cream so I thought this would be one use I actually got like 3 or 4 uses out of this. It was nice it was hydrating and really thick but it is far to pricey compare to even really expensive eye creams that I like.
Repurchase: No, I would use it again but I wouldn’t buy it
The Creme Shop Fusion Sheet Mask in Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid this was a great mask I have had good experiences with crème shop masks they stay on well and my face fully absorbs the essence which is great.
Repurchase: Yes
Covergirl Clean Fresh Skincare Weightless Water Cream I really liked this it is a water cream gel smooth texture that I just find really pleasing my skin felt nice. It was a little tacky but it didn’t bother me. I really liked this.
Repurchase: Yes
Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C Radiance Renewal Serum Capsules these are fine I like the oil consistency of them but I really don’t care for the little pod format where you have to break them open I just find it inconvenient and a waste of my time.
Repurchase: No
Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream this was fine I think it did a little brightening but nothing that special for the price.
Repurchase: No
Maapilim Exfoliating Solution I think this worked and my skin was a bit softer in the morning but there were only three or four uses in this bottle and it is kinda hard to say.
Repurchase: No
Random (1)
Degree MotionSense Ultraclear Deodorant in Pure Rain this is always and forever my favorite deodorant though I am starting to really fall in love with the dove ones so it make get usurped that remains to be seen.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (3)
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Sugared Snickerdoodle this was fine I liked it I like sweet scents I feel like the quality of wallflowers has kinda gone down since they raised the prices.
Repurchase: Maybe
Nest Candle in Bamboo this was a lot better then the grapefruit it had a real spa/grassy type of scent and it did really fill the room but holy heck it is so pricey I just can’t justify that.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Tomato Vine Candle this is a very old candle that I had kinda shoved to the back of my cabinet. I really like those herbal garden but not flower scents so this was unique at the time but not so much unique now.
Repurchase: No
Lotion (1)
The Bath Apothecary Body Lotion in Arawiya this was meh nothing to even really say because I don’t remember it was very thin and I used it up pretty quick.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (2)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shower Smoothie in Sandra Dee I didn’t care for this scent it almost smelled masculine to me which doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. Also I felt like I needed a lot of this product to get a good lather. I will say great packaging though this is a really thick product so having a really easy to squeeze bottle like this was a necessity.
Repurchase: No
Zest Tssss! Sauna Steamy Shower Scrub I loved this so much and I am so sad that they don’t make this anymore I loved the sauna-y scent I loved the scrub level. I really loved that it was warm when I used it. I just am so sad. I really milked this forever because I loved it so much.
Repurchase: I would
Haircare (2)
Not Your Mother’s Anti-Frizz Smooth Moves Shampoo
Not Your Mother’s Anti-Frizz Smooth Moves Conditioner
These were fine I have wanted to try them for a while they were nice enough I might consider them in the future but I feel like I am always trying to try new products to find something for my very uncooperative hair.
Repurchase: Maybe
Declutter (5)
FCS Linen Spray in King of the World I just don’t really like this scent so I will pass it along. I do love using their linen sprays though.
Nyx Matte Liquid Liner in Black this is terrible. It smears it isn’t long wearing it isn’t even that easy to apply.
Nioxin Scalp Relief Scalp & Hair Conditioner this is not moisturizing enough for my dry hair.
Pacifica Mineral Face Stick SPF 50 I wanted to like this because Pacifica sunscreens don’t break me out but so many also don’t work for me this is super heavy and left such a terrible sticky white cast on me that took forever to blend in and be comfortable and I just can’t.
Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Dose of Rose this was just not I color I loved and since the formula is pretty generic there is not reason for me to keep it.
Well I definitely didn’t use up much this month but that is just how this whole year seems to be going.
