Hello, hello!
My May Ipsy Glam Bag finally arrived. This month’s bag has a summer theme.
Let’s see what I got this month! (Descriptions in italics taken from the Ipsy website)
Up first is a Charcoal Wash Off Mask from Global Beauty Care
-
Another mud mask? Groundbreaking. But seriously, this one’s special! It’s made from charcoal, which digs deep to gently remove icky dirt and grime without drying out your skin.
- If you want to skip makeup, this mask is great for prepping your complexion to bare it all. Think: all the glowy goodness of a facial in just 15 minutes!
I love facial masks, so I was pretty happy to get this one. I have yet to try it out, so a review is still to come. According to the packaging, this product is not tested on animals.
Up next, is a five shade Island Life mini palette from Pacifica.
Up next is the Precision Angled Brush from Royal & Langnickel:
-
Sick of streaks and badly blended powders? We feel you! It’s time to upgrade your makeup application game to a profesh level, and this multitasking brush is the perf tool for the job.
-
The domed, angled shape works for almost everything, like nose contouring, under-eye concealing, and eye shading. TBH, we’re willing to bet it’ll be the hardest working brush in your kit.
- No furry friends were harmed in the making of it! This beauty is made from ultra-luxe synthetic fibers, so it’s 100% vegan.
-
Bronzing and highlighting are sorta like the PB&J of the makeup world. They’re fine on their own, but they’re 100% better together. That’s why we’re such big fans of this does-it-all duo that makes us look like we just got back from the best vacay ever (AKA radiant AF).
-
We call it California in a compact! The velvety powder is packed with pigments for a super vibrant, yet totally natural-looking glow (so you look like you’ve spent time in the sun, not getting a spray tan).
This is my first Manna Kadar product. I think that the bronzer shade might be way too dark for my pale skin tone, but I think that it will make a lovely eye shadow. The highlighter is a perfect shade for me. Both powders are super velvety.
The final product is a Creamy Matte Lipstick from Mellow Cosmetics in the shade Posh.
-
Hot tip: Not all mattes are created equal. That’s why we’re flipping for this one! It’s SO creamy and moisturizing, you won’t believe it’s matte.
-
Dry lips? As if. Thanks to a healthy infusion of Vitamin E, this stuff makes our pouts insanely silky, satiny, and smooth.
-
Understated is the new bold. These gorg nude shades are perf for owning a “no makeup makeup” moment (if you’re into that sorta thing).
This lipstick is coconut scented. I’ll be giving this one away as I cannot stand coconut scented products – they make me gag. The colour is a pretty brown toned nude. This is also a cruelty free brand.
All in all, a pretty good bag this month! I can’t wait to see what is in next month’s GlamBag.
This month I cashed in my Ipsy points to get the Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads from Nip+Fab. I’m excited to try this one out. Review to follow once I’ve tested them out!
So what do you think of this month’s GlamBag? Were you happy with yours?
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!
Disclosure: Monthly subscription that I pay for.

Ooh I wish I’d gotten that lipstick! The MK duo looks pretty nice, too.
I agree w the Pacifica palette – the e/s I’ve tried from them always looks pretty but it’s not the nicest quality. Very dry.

This is my first Pacifica palette, it’s ok, but I was expecting something buttery!

I like how that face mask as a little spout. Is it single use or is there enough product for more than one use?
Hmm too bad the Pacifica eye shadows aren’t velvety feeling. I hope they wear well.
Aww too bad about the coconut scented lipstick! Of all the scents they could have used! 😛

The mask looks like I should be able to get a few uses from it.
I know, my most hated scent, Haha!

I just got my Epsy glam bag but it was missing one product. I have written them waiting for a reply. Tomorrow probably because of the holiday. Great Post Happy Victoria Day 😀😊💗

Looking forward to your thoughts on the Nip + Fab pads. I’ve passed them a few times during visits to Ulta, but never budged to get them.

That’s too bad about that Pacifica eyeshadow palette – the shades look so pretty in the pan. I hate it when there isn’t even one matte shade included though – especially something like that that would be perfect for travel.
That ice cream bag is pretty cute!

Thankfully I own a few mattes that will work with the shade range, so I’m going to make it work!

OMG THAT lipstick! This is so my colour. Too bad it’s coconut scented. I’d have given it away too…
I like a few Pacifica fragrances, and I like that Pacifica does vegan + cruelty-free products. But it’s too bad that these eyeshadows feel gritty. That doesn’t sound great.

I know, the colour is lovely. But I cannot deal with coconut scents!

I’m the same! But it’s weird, you did like the coconut shampoo and conditioner (I can’t remember that cool brand, but you know which one I mean), and I did like Boots Extracts Coconut products. I guess coconut fragrances don’t have to be uber-obnoxious. The manufacturers just need to keep the fragrance subtle and do away with that sickening ‘density’ (I don’t know how to describe that either, but you know what I mean… THAT coconut density… ugh!).
LikeLiked by 1 person
That is because it smelled like coconut milk, which is creamier and less full on coconutty. Density is a great way to describe it!

Coconut milk, that’s it! That’s the difference!

Oh glad I’m not alone with the coconut scent. I don’t mind eating them just not the scent on beauty or skincare products.
