Ipsy June 2013 Bag Review

Guess what guys! Today I am doing the review for my first ever Ipsy glam bag! If you do not know what Ipsy is, it is a subscription services that sends you a bag with deluxe sized make up samples each month! YouTube beauty gurus like Bethany Mota and Michelle Phan are stylist for the website also! It is only $10 a month and you get some great products, so I would recommend checking it out! The website is www.ipsy.com 
Anyway I am going to share with you the products I received this month and my thoughts on them! First I would like to say I have seen other months bags and this one is probably the best to me and I am so glad I got this one as my first one. I will probably do another post explaining how I found ipsy and why I decided to subscribe to it. 
So the theme this month was on the wild side. The first thing was the bag which was cheetah printed with lime green detailing. The bag goes with the theme very well and I think it is so cute.
Inside the bag was plenty of goodies! The first thing that caught my eye was the full size nyx blush in copper
This color is really pretty, but more of a bronze color. Considering I have a light skin tone I will
probably use this as a bronzer. This is the product I am most excited about because nyx is one of my favorite makeup brands. This blush is very pigmented and is not completely matte. I think it has a little reflex in it. The retail price of this product is $5 so that is basically have the price of the bag right there.
The next thing in the bag is a sparkling cream palette by j.cats. I got the Volta palette. At first I was really excited about this palette, but once I tested the colors I saw that the glitter is really gritty. Also if you try putting this on top of an eyeshadow, it will just take the eyeshadow off completely. I believe that is because of the oily base in these eye glitters. It is going to be really hard to apply because the glitter likes to clump together. This product retails for $4.49
The next product, which I absolutely love is the Cailyn line fix gel eyeliner. I got the shade iron, which is just a shiny black color. I am really excited about this product because I have heard many good things about it and I love gel eyeliners. This gel eyeliner comes with a built in brush to apply the eyeliner with. The eyeliner is going to stay for a while and once you let it dry it is smudge prove. This product retails for $21
The next product is a lip liner from starlooks
I recived the color bare, which is a nude pinkish color. The color is very nice and the pencil applies smoothly. The color applies well and will last all day. This product retails for $12. I can't wait to try this product. I don't really use lip pencils, but I believe this one will get a lot of use out of it.
The last product I got was the Chella ivory lacehighlighted
I am excited to use this product. You apply this under your eyebrows to highlight them. This also applies smoothly and I really like it! This product retails for $18 and I can't wait to use it. I am excited to use this to define and highlight my eyebrows.
That is all I recived this month in my Ipsy glam bag! I really loved everything I got is this bag and I recommend it to anyone you loves make up and trying new products.
*disclaimer: I bought this with my own money and these are my honest opinions.
