 What was in my August Ipsy bag? 

Absolute Lip Balm

What I love about this is that it is a full size product. It has a wonderful grape scent. It applies clear on the lips and leaves it feeling smooth and looking glossy. It also feels very moisturizing and does not leave your lips feeling sticky. One thing that I don't like about this product is that it contains tiny glitter.

Perversion Mascara  by Urban Decay 

This product by far was my favourite of the Ipsy bag. I absolutely love it and will be purchasing the full size product. This mascara made my lashes look more full and long in just one application. It also lasts throughout the day and does not smudge. I have no complaints about this mascara.

Coastal Scents Blush Duo

This blush sample is very pigmented. I like the shades of the blush; however, I find if you are of a darker skin tone the second shade appears to be more of an orange colour on the skin

Lord & Berry Eye Pencil 

I found this product to be just okay. There was not anything special about it. I did find that it easily smudged when I applied it to my waterline. It would probably be more suited for a smoky eye makeup look.

Dr. Brandt Pores No more Pore Refiner 

I did not like this product. I was excited to see a primer in my bag, however when I sampled it on my hand I found the smell awful and overpowering. I did find that it felt silky and smooth but I don't think I will be using this product in the future.

Overall I was pleased with my first Ipsy bag. I am excited to see the products I will receive in my September Bag!
