July Ipsy Sneak Peeks

It's a new month, which means Ipsy Sneak Peeks! I've been sick this week so I'm a little behind, but here we go (I should have this all the way updated by this evening, sorry for the delays):

Sneak Peek #1 
Subscribers will be receiving one of the following:

First is a 5 in 1 BB Cream Eyeshadow. I've never heard of a BB Cream Eyeshadow before, but this comes in some nice neutrals, and I'd be excited to try it!

Next is what looks like bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow. I'm guessing it's one of the duos, and I'm interested to see what the color options will be.



Sneak Peek #2
Subscribers will receive one of the following:


The first item in this picture is Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil, SPF 08.                                                 



The second one is pur-lisse daily moisturizer spf 30. I'm hoping for this. I can't see myself using tanning oil. 


Sneak Peek #3
Subscribers will receive TWO of the following:

The first and third items pictured are Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balms. The first one looks like Bitten Berry and the other one looks like Unique Pink. 
The second item pictured is a sample of Benefit's They're Real Mascara. 


 The fourth item pictured is Elizabeth Mott's Tints & Sass Lip and cheek color.




Next is pur minerals Big Look Waterproof mascara.








Next is a Lord & Berry liner. It looks like the silk kajal kohl liner.








The seventh item is also in the next sneak peek, it's a polish from wHet nails. the color looks like Facetious to me.



Next is something from Pop Beauty. It looks to me like it's going to be a sample of a couple of shadows from their Lucky Lids palette.




 After that is a Models Own Polish. The color looks like Summer Solstice.




Last is a Nailtini Polish in what looks like Mango Rita.





Sneak Peek #4
Subscribers will receive one of the following:


First in this sneak peek is derma e BB Cream. I'm hoping I'll get this! I'd love to try it!




The second is Befine Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15.











Third is Faith Aromatherapy Citrus and Ginger Anti-Oxidant Lotion. I wish they were sending the scrub. I really want to try it.

The fourth item is Marrakesh Endz, Argan & Help Oil Therapy.













The fifth item is SexyHair Soy Renewal Beach Spray. It looks like a pretty decent sized sample, but I'm hoping I don't get this.






Next is the wHet polish again, still in what I think is Facetious.







After that is a Lavilin Jojoba Soothing Skin Cream.





Last is a perfume, it's almost completely covered, and I'm having no luck finding perfumes that match that color.






My perfect bag this month would be:
1. The Bare Minerals 5in1 BB Cream Eyeshadow in one of the darker shades.
2. The pur-lisse daily moisturizer with SPF
3. The Pixi in Bitten Berry
4. The Tints & Sass Lip and Cheek Color (I'm hoping it'll be like Stainiac, which I love)
5. derma e BB Cream or the Marrakesh Endz. Both are products I'd love to try!

What would be in your perfect bag?

June 2014 Ipsy Sneak Peeks

Ipsy Sneak Peek #1
All subscribers will be getting one of these:

NYX Butter Glosses in what looks to me like Peaches 'n Cream, Merengue, and Maple Blondie.
The lighting in the photos is pretty significantly different, but these are those three colors from the NYX Website. 

They sent out another version of this sneak peek last week:
The colors here look like: Apple Strudel, Eclaire, and Creme Brulee. 
Here the lighting's pretty similar, so it's easy to see what colors these are.


Ipsy Sneak Peek #2
All subscribers will be getting one of the following:
The first item in the sneak peek is Jessie's Girl Liquid Eyeliner. This has gone out in the past, and everyone who received it seemed to really like it.                                                                            
The second and third items in the sneak peek are Nicka K Shimmer Eyeliner in Blue and green. 




The fourth product is an Ofra eyeliner in brown. Ofra has some really pretty bright colors, so I'm hoping they send out some of those as well!

Sneak Peek #3
Subscribers will be getting TWO of the following products

The first item in the sneak peek is Ole Hendriksen's Truth To Go wipes. 

The second is Be A Bombshell  Lash Out Mascara
Third is Laneige BB Cushion. The one they show is in light, but hopefully they're sending out more than one shade.                                                                                  Next is an item from clariSEA. I think it's the Charcoal Exfoliant, but it could be one of their other products. 


Fifth is MD Solar Sciences Mineral Tinted Creme Sunscreen, SPF 30. I love that Ipsy has been sending out lots of suncare products this summer!                                                                                                                                                                                                     Sixth is Skinn Olive and Enzyme Cleanser. I've never seen this brand before. I love that Ipsy has been using a lot of new brands lately!
Next is the clear spray bottle, I'm not sure what that is yet, though it actually looks like a Bath and Body Works Body Spray. I'm working on figuring out whether  or not that's right, and figuring out what scent it is if it is BBW. I also noticed that it looks like it says Caribbean Isles, or something like that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Eighth is DERMAdoctor's DD Cream. I'm not sure what a DD Cream is yet, but I'm excited to try it (or read reviews about it.)
Last is the little pink tube, as of yet undiscovered. It looks like a perfume sample, but I'm not big on perfumes, so I have no idea which one. Word wise, it looks like it says Revered or Reverb or something similar, there are a lot of possibilities. 


I completely missed the Ofra Pencil in this one. It looks like it says eyebrow on it, but the only eyebrow pencil I can find online is a very different color.  The one in the picture looks like it's about the same shade as the one in the last sneak peek. 
Sneak Peek #4
Subscribers will be getting one of the following:

The first item is Dove Pure Care Dry Oil. I love hair oils, so I'm hoping I get this!



The second is Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray.














Last is Carol's Daughters Sacred Tiare Styling Cream.


I hope Ipsy follows our profiles on the hair care products this time. I'm pretty sure that Beachy Wave Spray won't do anything good for my curly hair. 

Sneak Peek # 5
The Bag!
I'm excited about this bag! I love that it's a side-zip again, and it looks like it'll be really cute!

I can't wait until the tenth to find out what I'm getting!

TLC VoxBox from Influenster

My TLC VoxBox just arrived! I wanted to post my first impressions right away, but I hope to post more in-depth reviews of things (along with the photos from my camera once they're uploaded) later. Here's what was in my box:



 The first item in my TLC VoxBox is Neosporin-Neo to Go!
I have a three year old, so I know this is going to get plenty of use! I like that it's a spray, that'll make it way easier to apply without putting on gloves or washing my hands.


The second thing is Ivory soap. I've never used Ivory Soap as a soap, but it's one of my favorite things for projects. I love putting it in the microwave (if you have kids and have never done that, you should! I mention it and share a couple of pictures in my messy fun post on my teacher/parent blog), and there are always more fun Ivory soap projects on Pinterest to try!


 Next is Avon's Anew Reversalist. I'm pretty excited to try this. The box describes it as a "cream to powder skincare perfector", which sounds like something I would like. I've never tried any Avon products (crazy, I know) so I'm pretty excited to give this one a try.


Next is a Shell FuelRewards card. This seems like a strange thing to get in a VoxBox, since as far as I can tell you can just go online and sign up for a reward card. That said, I'm always down for anything that saves money, and since my husband has an SUV saving money on gas is a great thing. You can also connect your rewards card to your credit card (though you certainly don't have to) and then you earn money off of gas with every purchase at all sorts of places. If you want to check out the program, you can look at it here. If you sign up online they'll send you a card.

Next is the thing I'm most excited about (I know that's probably sad): a coupon for free gelato!! I love Breyers and haven't ever tried their gelato, so this'll be a good reason too. This time of year there are very few things better than free gelato!





Next are Puffs plus lotion. Everyone in my family has allergies, so we go through purse packs of tissues pretty quickly. Puffs are what I usually use, so I'm glad to have gotten these for free! I haven't tried the Plus Lotion kind, so I guess I'll see if I like those any better than the normal ones.
