June IPSY Glambag

I have a love-hate relationship with Ipsy. Like I wanted to keep subscribed but at the same time, I just really wanted the free bag I received from a friend. The latter choice won but unfortunately, I forgot to cancel it on time, so here it is my June Ipsy Glam bag! 

I love trying new things, especially beauty products and I am currently drawn to subscription boxes, but I am trying hard to resist as I don't see a need for an additional expense that would hurt our current little budget. 😀

So, although I felt sorry that I wasn't able to cancel my subscription on time, I can honestly say that I felt excited receiving and opening it.

I have kind of interesting products in my bag that I actually haven't tried at all. So here are the products included in my June Glam Bag:

💖The cute bag with a big red lips design in the middle

💖The NYX Professional Makeup Whipped Lip & Cheek Souffle in Cocoa Bean shade. It's a Nude Brown color that can also be used for contouring. Although I found this product interesting and has never tried it before, I chose to gift it to one of my friends.

💖The Beauty For Real I-LINE 24-7 Eyeliner in 24 Karat shade. I fell in love with its vibrant gold shimmer shade that looks good on my eyes. It has a Gel Formula that is super pigmented and vibrant in color. I used it multiple times already, and it's a long-lasting wear liner which I love. 

💖2 BioRepublic Skincare in Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask & Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask. I haven't tried any of them since I have other sheet masks to seek to review, but I am always excited about new masks to try so this would definitely be in my lineup before the end of this month, hopefully. 

💖theBalm Cosmetics Balm Springs Blush in a Rosy blush shade. It's super tiny, but I found the packaging nice. The color was pretty, but since I live in Florida, it didn't last long and faded quickly unlike its claims to be a long-wearing blush.

💖The City Color Cosmetics Shimmer Shadow in Cheers to Life shade. I did love the bronze color, but I am no fan of glitters and super shiny colors regarding beauty products, so this one was also gifted to a friend.

Although there is still a part of me that wanted to retain this subscription, I managed to cancel it this time. So, this might be my last Ipsy Glam bag....for now!

My first IPSY Glam Bag

Okay, I mentioned in my previous post that I love the idea of Subscription boxes. However, I find it expensive. So, why do I have an Ipsy bag? Simple! I got it for free! One of my friends in Instagram always offers to give five free glam bags and fortunately, I got the chance to claim one (or let me say 2)! Yay!

Okay, so, as many of you know, Ipsy was one of those popular beauty product subscriptions, but instead of a box, it comes with different cute little bags each month called Glam Bag. This Glam Bag includes deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products that will be based on your preferences and profile. And it's all for $10.

Even though I heard of Ipsy before, I was not a fan of spending money for subscriptions (yes, even though $10 sounds cheap). But, when I had the chance to try this for free, I got excited! (you know me, I love freebies!)

I am not really impressed of the bag that they have for the month of April. However, I still find it cute and useful of course! I actually do not have any purse for my makeups as of the moment, so this bag came in handy.

I received 5 great products too! My Glam bag include the ever sought after Lisa Frank brush! I guess it's really cute! 

I also received the following sample size products:

Overall, I love all these products! Haven't had time to try them yet, but I can tell that I am most excited to try the nail polish! One or two items on this bag will go to my upcoming giveaway! So stay tuned!

My 1st Walmart Beauty Box - Spring Edition

I am a person who loves free and cheap things. Subscription boxes sound interesting to me, but I also find it quite expensive (because most of them you'll get for $10 and above, yes I know, $10 is already expensive for me). However, I came upon this Walmart Beauty Box going on on Instagram, and I saw how others post about the interesting products they find in their boxes and the best part of it? It's free! Well, technically, the box is free, but you have to pay the $5 flat rate shipping fee. Not bad, huh? Here's what I've got on my first box!

So I received about 7 sample products in my pretty box, 2 of which are sample sizes that you can sometimes get in a magazine, and the rest are travel sizes. I love the variety of the samples inside my box, and I believe it's worth more than $5.

It's also nice how they add a little extra boost for you such as the card (and the carton) that says "Embrace Your Beauty." You can also share your thoughts about your box in your social media channels with their hashtag #walmartbeautybox.

So these are the beauties I received inside!

I love surprises, so I was excited opening the box and was happy to see what's inside! Below is the list of the products I received:

Travel Size Products:

**Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

**Gliss Ultra Moisture Shampoo

**Gliss Ultra Moisture Conditioner

**Dove Advance Care Deodorant

**Biore Baking Soda Acne Scrub

**Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Sweet Tooth

Sample sizes of:

***Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation

***Aveeno 60 second in-shower facial

***Aveeno overnight hydrating facial

So these are the individual photos:

I haven't tried all of these products yet, and some of these will go to my upcoming giveaway. But, as far as I know, these are awesome products! I can't wait for my next Walmart Beauty Box - Summer Edition! Oh yes, this subscription box only comes 4 times a year, a seasonal box that will only be released every Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Spending $20 a year ain't bad! Plus you'll have the chance to try products before you buy them! I will highly recommend this!
