IPSY August 2014: What's In My Bag

This month IPSY let me have a sneak peak of what was in my bag if I agreed to share it on Facebook.  So I did...and then promptly deleted it.  

This month I am getting 2 items off my wish list: The Dr. Brant primer and the Urban Decay Mascara, and one item off my "anti" wish list, the Coral Scents blush/bronzer.  However in their defence, I love blush and bronzer.  It was only on my anti-wishlist because I have so much of it.  I am 100% indifferent to the Lord and Berry eyeliner.  Its a black eyeliner.  I have 1000 of them,  And finally the lip balm. IPSY gets points for getting me the one I wanted the least.  In all honesty, this will be going to one of my little cousins who is actually going back to school in the fall.  I'm not a huge fan of the orange and white bag, so that will also be going in the gift bin.

Here are all the items I didn't get:

I am so so so so so so happy not to be getting the J Cat product.  I wish I could get the Glamglow mask, however they gave it to me in a previous box and kind of got me hooked.  They don't give repeat items.

I find it odd that I got 3 things off one spoiler, and nothing off the other.  

**The X over the Paula's choice should be all red.  Oops?

Weighing out the options of what was available, and what I got I am satisfied with my bag.  Not the best.  Not the worst.  I am delighted to be getting the mascara as I wanted to try it, but have put myself on a no-buy for mascara until I use up my backlog of minis.  As for the primer, I love having mini primers to travel with and I have heard good things about this one.  The blush/bronzer will be deputed and put in my Z-Palette, and the eyeliner will probably go to my mom.  I do think IPSY is doing a better job of customizing bags.

I will be posting a review of this bag when it arrives.  My review of my July bag will be posted this weekend!

What are you getting in your IPSY bag this month?  Thoughts?

Ipsy: August 2014 Spoilers

I haven't even been home to open my July bag, and August spoilers are already on the way? Crazy!  I will be back home next Thursday and have been told that I literally have a pile of boxes waiting for me.  Can't wait to open them, enjoy them, and share them with you!

For my August bag I am hoping for some fun stuff.  In a dream world, the bag would be navy canvass with a rustic looking anchor or ship wheel, and the bag would be full of end of summer goodies that just border on the fall.

Wish List:

1. Perversion Mascara
2. Dr. Brandt Pore No More Pore Refiner
3. None.  But the Absolute New York You're the Balm in Grape looks like it is the least awful?
4. Glamglow
5. Maana Kadar Sheer Glow

My Anti-Wish List:

1. J Cat Flying Solo Eyeshadow (oh please no.  I have hated every J Cat product Ipsy has sent me)

2. Costa Scents Blush/Bronzer (Meh.  I already have more than enough of this stuff to keep me happy).

3. I don't want literally any of the lip balms.  

Interesting to Note:  The Dr. Brandt primer is found in both spoilers 2 and 4.

Spolier #1 - Urban Decay

I found this spoiler floating around the internet.  Ipsy subscribers will receive either Perversion Mascara or the 24/7 Glide on Velvet Eyeliner in a deep purple shade, Plushie.  My fingers are crossed for the mascara, but honestly, I would be happy with either.

Spoiler #2 Back To School

Best news ever.  This September is my very last "Back To School".  Graduation here I come!

Everybody will be getting one of these.

Dr. Brant Pore No More Pore Refiner (primer)

Lord and Black Black Eyeliner

Costal Scents Eyeshadow Quad (from Wineberry set)

Maana Kadar Sheer Glow

J Cat Flying Solo Eyeshadow (oh please no.)

Costa Scents Blush/Bronzer

I'm hoping for either the Dr. Brandt or the Manna Kadar product.

Spoiler #3 - Lipbalm

Everybody will be getting 1 of these 4 lip balms.

Jersey Shore Sun Monogongo Lip Balm
Bee All Natural Organic Grapefruit Lipbalm
Absolute New York You're the Balm in Green Apple or Grape

Ugh.  I wish IPSY would remember that most of their subscribers aren't 12.  I'm totally not pumped for any of these. BusyI guess the grape balm would be the least awful?  In all honesty this will either be included in my cousin's Christmas gift or donated to a shelter.

Spoiler #4 Beauty History

1. Dr Brandt Pore No More (also in spoiler 2)
2. Paula's Choice Skincare Clear Ultra-Light Daily Mattifying Fluid SPF 30+
3. GLAMGLOW Youthmud
4. Free Your Mane Reviving Spray
5. StriVectin Present Perfect Antioxidant Defence Lotion
6. Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
7. Cali Cosmetics Evulacano Body Lotion

Fingers crossed for Glamglow!
