Ipsy Glam Bag {{May 2014}}

This months glam bag wasn't really my favorite bag this month. The bag that it came in was cool and felt really "green". The products I wasn't much of a fan but am willing to give them a try. With such a busy work load this month I haven't really been able to try the products yet but I figured I would get a post up about what I got. This months bag was called Beauty's Fresh Picks.

First product is the Eva-nye Therapy Session Hair Mask. Like I mentioned earlier I haven't tried any of these products yet but I'm sorta interested in giving this a try. I'm hoping it helps my hair out and makes it a bit healthier. This product states that it will strengthen my hair and hydrate it. To purchase this product it would cost you $12.00. I also got a bit distracted on their website by an awesome hair straightener that I must have, they have some really awesome products on their site. I can't wait to give this product a try and see how it makes my hair feel.

 This next product was one that I was really excited for because I've always wanted to get one of these. I just have never purchased one for myself so I'm really glad I got this. It's the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm. Mine came in the shade Elusive Insaisissable (205) and you can purchase this for $8.99 is what I'm finding on Google since their website wasn't working for me.

 This is an eye shadow duo from Pacifica, a brand I've never heard of until now. I got a brown shade called Duo 1 (Celestial and Opal). These shades are definitely my color and one I will probably use since it's a neutral color. I couldn't find a price or product like this on their website so I'm guessing this was a special for Ipsy and you can purchase these eye shadows in a set with others.  So I'm not sure what the value is of this.

This next product is a sunscreen from Jersey Shore Sun Sans Tan and it's SPF is 35. This product also claims that it is anti-aging with organic ingredients. You can purchase this product for $25.00 so it's a bit on the expensive side. I'm hoping this product isn't greasy like most sun screen is but I will try this out and hopefully it works.

So this next product I got was Barefoot Exfoliating polish by Bare Foot Spa Professional. I got two packets of this polish. To purchase the full size product it is $5.99. Not much to say about this product because I haven't tried it.

This most defiantly wasn't my favorite Ipsy bag but I can't wait until Junes bag to see what they have in store for us. It seems like I got this month's Ipsy bag earlier then I did last month. Make sure to leave me a comment letting me know what you got in your Ipsy bag this month.

Buy and Try {{May}}

Today I'm going to post something a little different on my blog. Within this post I'm going to show you products that I purchased throughout the month to try and how I liked them. I may not post these types of posts each month but whenever I have products that I have purchased I will do one.

The first product that I purchased was at Walmart on sale for $3.97 each but I had a $2 off coupon. This is the Loreal Advanced Haircare in Total Repair. I purchased this product to see if it would actually help my hair. I have tried it once so far since I only bought it the other day. The scent smells good and it does leave my hair feeling pretty smooth but not oily or anything.
As for hair results I haven't seen any yet because it's too early to tell. I'm not expecting it to seal up my current split ends but I hope it makes my hair stronger and not break.

Next I purchased a nail polish top coat from Sally Hansen. This is the Big Glitter Top Coat. I loved the sparkles that are in this nail polish. It will go with pretty much any color of nail polish that you have on. It was a bit of the expensive side for  $5.47 but I thought I would give it a try. I love how this looks on my nails but it's a bit difficult to get the glitter to spread on the whole nail.
I put my top coat over a mango looking color and thought it turned out great. I decided to not worry about where the glitter ended up and just left it how it was applied. I have had it on for a couple of days and it hasn't chipped off or caused my other polish to chip. This is the longest I've been able to keep nail polish on my nails so I'm hoping this does the trick. The color of this is called Meteor Light (130).

This next product isn't beauty/makeup related but it's part of my buy and try so I figured I would include it. I purchased some Gatorade in some different flavors that I have never heard of or tried before. The first one I purchased was the green one which is in the flavor Tropical Cooler and I purchased it at Safeway for $.88. I haven't been able to find the Tropical Cooler flavor anywhere else besides Safeway yet.
The next flavor is Tropical Mango and I love this one! I was able to find them at one gas station and at Walmart for $1.00. The next one that I haven't tried yet is the Citrus Cooler. I'm excited to try that one because it sounds good. I'm really loving all these tropical flavors so far.
