ipsy July 2014 - Sensationally SunKissed


Wow! Now that's a pink bag!

There was no doubt that you'd miss July's bag - the pink is electrifying! 

Here's a breakdown of the items:



bareMinerals 5-in-1 BB Advance Performance Cream Eyeshadow Broad Spectrum 15

How tiny! But a little goes a long way. The shade doesn't really do anything for me, but its cute enough to add to my collection
  



Befine Food Skin Care Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15

 Nice sample size, nice to keep handy as a quick moisturizer. 




Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil SPF 08

Now ...what am I to do with tanning oil? Hmm




Pixi Beauth Mini Tinted Brilliance Balm

Lovely balm to add to my collection!




wHet Nail Polish in Facetious

This is a very vibrant blue. It applies nicely (2 coats in pic below)

Here's July 2014 Birchbox items:


This month, Birchbox teamed up with Women's Health Magazine and provided this booklet with 
The booklet included  some challenges like:

-Write it down: keeping a log of activities to motivate and to push yourself further
-Part your hair differently
-Eat veggies for breakfast
-Get out of your color comfort zone




Now for a breakdown of the items:

Number 4™ Super Comb Prep & Protect

Yet to try - but a lovely scent and looks like I may get one or 2 uses from this. 



Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel

I'm still not too sure abut using this product - maybe its the words 'chemistry' and 'peel' is throwing me off. I will try it soon ...or maybe pass it on to some one



Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream

Yet to try this one as well - a little bit nervous on how things may react on me maybe. But, I have been looking for an eye cream that will deal with my 'lack of sleep' eyes.
Stay tuned...



Coastal Scents® Revealed 2 Palette Set

I LOVE this palette! My only complaint is the packaging as it makes storage an issue. Keeping it in the box may lead to forgetting it's even there!
Needless to say - this is a beautiful collection for any time of day on caramel skin!




100% Pure Gingerade Shower Gel (Honey Cream Wash)

Ah! these one time use foil packets! *grumbles*
I am no fan of ginger - so maybe its a good thing I got 2 little packets so I can give one away 
(or both!)
