Hey y'all!  I'm getting ready to be heading off to LONDON soon to work on my Master's!  Super excited!

I have a bunch of makeup posts that are about to happen, but first we're going to start with the July Ipsy Glam Bag that came in the mail yesterday!

In a rare feat, I got everything in the bag that I actually wanted!  The NEON PINK (my favorite color of the summer!) bag divulged these goodies: bhcosmetics California Collection eyeshadow trio, bigsexyhair weather proof spray, Coola mineral sunscreen tinted moisturizer in rose essence, pop pouty pop crayon in fuchsia flirt, and demeter salt air roll on perfume oil.

So much pink!  Happily it matches my neon pink shorts that I got at the JCrew outlet for $8!

The contents!

Honestly, Malibu is the best color.  Hollywood is very sheer and San Francisco is very similar to the millions of other brown shades I own.  I haven't swatched them over primer, but I'm hoping it'll give Hollywood the extra oomph it needs!

Coola tinted moisturizer.  It's VERY yellow.. and it makes my super pale skin look very strange.  There's a tiny bit of sparkle to it.  I'm surprised they first list it as a sunscreen over a tinted moisturizer since it only has spf 20, but I guess that's better than nothing.  Not my favorite, but glad I got to try it!

I was PRAYING for the pink or the coral color, because I've been really tired of getting nude colored products in my ipsy bag.  I selected that I'm not afraid of color in my quiz!  I got what I asked for, but unfortunately it's a product that does not work for me.

In the swatch it looks great, it's a pretty pink color.  However, it has a white-base, and the texture is very oily.  It grabbed on to minor dry bits of my lip that look fine with other lipsticks, and made it look like I had been crawling around in the desert for the past week.  The oily texture settled into all the ridges of my lips and looked dreadful.

I will not be using this product again, which is a shame since I was the most excited for it!  I was expecting it to have a jelly-finish, like the Revlon Just Bitten balm stains.  Alas, I was seriously disappointed :(

As for the Big Sexy Hair weather proof spray, I haven't really tried it yet.  I'm hoping it works because in the ongoing war between my hair vs. humidity, mother nature has been winning all the battles.  Total puff-head.  The perfume, which I was a little worried about, smells FANTASTIC.  It's nice, fresh and light.  I wish it lasted a little longer, but it is definitely going in my purse for the summer!

All in all, I'm pleased with this bag!  Some of the products didn't work well for me, but I'm glad that I got to try them!
