This month’s Ipsy Bag contained 5 products. The products in this month’s subscription included a Dirty Little Secret Cosmetic’s Bronzer, LXMI Creme Du Nil, Makeup For Ever Ultra HD Perfector, Trestique Mini Lip Glaze and Winky Lux Eyeshadow. This month’s bag was filled with well-rounded goodies that were worth well over the $10 investment. When you combine the retail costs of these products, they are worth a total of more than $47. Although I hadn’t tried any of the products or heard of some of the brands featured in this month’s glam bag, all of the items offered seemed to be worth trying. After trying most of the products, I’d definitely say this month’s subscription was full of products that I enjoyed and would consider purchasing in the future.

Here are some details on the products featured in this month’s Ipsy bag:

DLS Cosmetics’ Bronzer

Dirty Little Secret Cosmetics’ Bronzer in the shade “Skinny Dip” is absolutely gorgeous.  This beautiful dark bronzer is designed to work perfectly with most skin tones to give your skin the illusion of glowing. The formula of this product is smooth and creamy. It goes on with ease and only needs a little of the product to give you the bronzed look you desire. DLS’s highly pigmented product retails at $14 and can be purchased online at shopdirtylittlesecret.com.

LXMI’s Creme Du Nil

This extra creamy yet featherweight product is created with a deluxe formula that includes a signature ingredient from the Nile River. This ingredient makes this moisturizer a luxurious product, unlike most daily moisturizers. It works to nurture and preserve your skin against aging while gently exfoliating the skin’s surface. LXMI’s deluxe creme gives your skin a dewy finish that is perfect for use before applying makeup and for overnight moisture treatments. This product retails at $24 for the 15Ml size creme and $58 for the 38ML jar and can be found online at lxmi.com or here at amazon.com.

Makeup For Ever Ultra HD Perfector

This blurring skin tint is created with broad spectrum SPF 25 sunscreen to protect your skin with every application. This product contains a lightweight formula that goes on with ease. A little goes a long way with this product to give you light coverage that lasts for hours. Makeup For Ever offers this amazing product in 12 shades that would work to provide a natural looking finish on most skin tones. This product is perfect for natural and no makeup looks; additionally, it works great with all skin tones. This product retails at $36 for the 1 oz full-size tube and can be found online at makeupforever.com as well as online and in-store with some other cosmetic retailers.

Trestique Mini Lip Glaze

This English Rose lip product is small but mighty. Trestique designed this mini lip glaze with a retractable tube that looks resembles a crayon. The packaging makes the product stylish and easy to use. This lip product smoothly glides on to your lips in a buttery lip balm type of formula but the product is highly pigmented and has a glossy finish more like a satin lip color. Although the color given to me isn’t a shade that I’d wear comfortably, the company offers this product in 5 other shades that would work with any skin tone. Trestique does not offer their mini lip glaze as a retail product but they do offer the product in a full-size option. The full-sized product is dual sided with a lip primer on the opposite side of the tube. Trestique’s Lip Glaze retails at $25 and can be found online at trestique.com or here at amazon.com.

Winky Lux Eyeshadow

Winky Lux’s Ursula eyeshadow is a color from their Mermaid Kitten palette. Ursula is a beautiful shade of purple that was created with a prismatic shimmer that glistens when applied to the eyelid. The formula of this gorgeous shadow is high-pigmented and easily blendable making it worth trying. Winky  Luz does not offer Ursula for retail sale so to get this product you will have to purchase the palette this color is featured in; however, the company does offer 21 other beautiful shades of individual matte and shimmer eyeshadow at a retail price of $9.00. The Mermaid Kitten palette is filled with 9 pans of matte, shimmer and pearlescent shades including Ursula. This beautiful palette retails at $25 and can be purchased online at winkylux.com.
