August Ipsy!

Well, just under the wire in calling it August but I got my Ipsy bag this month… unfortunately there was an item missing, but thankfully it was the headband which I think is safe to say we can judge it from the picture it’s quite cute.

The headband was actually my selection for this month so I’m a little disappointed I’m going to have to wait another 7 days to give it a go. But nonetheless here’s what else I got in this month’s bag:

• CIATÉ LONDON - Glow-To Highlighter in Moondust

• E.L.F. COSMETICS - Matte Putty Primer in Universal Sheer *full-size

• LASTING SMILES - Peach Blossom Lip Balm

• YENSA BEAUTY - Super Serum Silk Foundation in Light Medium

  Earlier this year I got the Ciaté London’s bronzer, so the highlighter is the perfect duo. The golden undertone in this highlight is beautiful and subtle with the right amount of glow. I haven’t used the Putty Primer yet, but Tati, the glamlifeguru mentioned it in a couple of her videos, so it has to be half decent right? If I’m honest I typically forget the priming step, so maybe I’ll be better at it now! I do think the Luminous primer may have been a better fit, but we’ll give the matte a fair shake. While I’m also tempted to try everything in my Ipsy bags, I am in no need of another lip balm so this one will go into my gifts for guests box. Lastly is the Yensa super serum silk foundation, which I think would be perfect for this time of year as I transition from tinted moisturizer to foundation without the full weight of a foundation.

  I did also receive a pack of FourSigmatic face masks which I’m excited to try, I’ve only ever used FourSigmatic drinking products, so hopefully, the external products will be just as good as the internal ones.

  I’ve also earned enough points to redeem for products so I chose a 4-pack for brushes, it’s about time I switch them out!

  Two months later, what products am I still using?

  As I look back on June’s bag, I’ve used up 2 of the products, including the TATCHA Indigo Overnight Cream, and ABLE SKINCARE Hyaluronic + Retinol Radical Youth Activator Serum. The 2 products I still have and am still using are TARTE™ Maneater™ Voluptuous Mascara and DR. PAW PAW Overnight Lip Mask.

  The forgotten one: I’m not one for using brow products, so it’s no surprise that the forgotten product from this bag is BROW ATELIER

  Groom & Sculpt Tinted Brow Gel in Chestnut.
