This month's
bag was all about the Dreamer in you, creating looks that celebrate every side of your Unique beauty .
The stylist
for this month was +Christen Dominique
This month's
bag was multicolored with hues of orange, blue, yellow and green. The
inside was a teal green color, outside feels like fabric .
Mine was a bit designed different then Jayedyn's as you can see here in the picture

My 1st product was a deluxe sample size of -
Global
Protection Day Cream -From the
brand Ren Skin care
The full
size is 1.7 FL oz. And goes for $45.00
Researching
this product I found out This
moisturizer combats chronic discomfort, redness and sensitivity to ensure skin
glows with renewed health to make the skin look younger and last longer.
It
claims that you will have less sensitive skin in 21 days. ???
I have
only been using this for 4 days and I can say that I like what it does for my skin.
It does make it feel soft and glowy but I am not too thrilled with its
smell.
It
isn't bad enough that it bothers me to stop using the product . It just isn't something I like .
My only
question is Does it contain SPF?
I couldn't find it on the website. It does have
the ingredients Leghemoglobin which is an anti-oxidant blend Also
free radical scavengers to protect the skin against UV induced damage and
premature ageing.
I just wear a
sunscreen anyway to be safe especially with my Lupus more SPF is never bad for me.
2nd product
- is a trial size of- StarLooks-
Eye shadow cream in the shade Rose Gold.
Eye shadow cream in the shade Rose Gold.
This is a
pretty gold shade I wore it once on my lids and it actually looked pretty and
lasted without any creasing.
LipSurgence lip cream pencil in the shade Wonder
This is moisturizing to the lips, a
rich creamy pigment.
The color is beautiful it's like a Poppy
Pinkish shade.
*I have had super dry lips so I haven't
worn it again, I did try it out one day and I love how it felt on my lips. It
did also last for about 6 hrs. on me so that is a win...
I would definitely look into purchasing a full size.

4th product was
from Moroccan Oil-
It was a sample of their Oil hair treatment.
It was a sample of their Oil hair treatment.
I have bought this oil in full size
bottles before and love how this makes my hair shiny and healthy looking.
Full size 3.4 FL oz. sells for
$44.00
This is great for your hair In my opinion though the
drugstores have so many similar ones that you can buy now , no shipping and handling charges , and for a budget
friendly price.
5th product was from- Crown Brushes
-Full
size- Duo Fiber Blush Brush C427
They are Professional champagne -quality
brushes on a beer budget. (Perfect description Ipsy)
This sells on the crown website for $9.49
what a steal!!
I
can't say enough about the brushes. I love them and how easy they are to
work with, cleaning is a snap.
You
don't have to worry about them shedding or falling apart.
Well that is all my goodies in April's Ipsy Glam Bag .
I can't wait to see what other fun stuff will be in the next one .
Overall a $10 bag subscription was
worth it for the products received .
Now let's move on and see what Jayedybug received in her bag
Now let's move on and see what Jayedybug received in her bag
Jayedyn's
Bag -
1st product
is from City Color- High lighter sample Trio-
I
found this similar one on the website for $8.99 couldn't find this exact one .
Shades ranges from Gold,
opal/ champagne and a gorgeous rose.
Very pretty
and pigmented highlights,They are so buttery to the touch and do not feel flaky or powdery.
( the swatches don’t do them justice on my pale pale skin )
I have seen a lot of City Color Cosmetics at Walgreen's
but never picked anything up
*this may have just changed my mind a bit*
Of course you are going to get the hit and miss products but for the price you won't spend a lot on a possible dud product *That is my opinion*

Of course
she wasn't interested in this, I don't know why ? She does have a very nice set of brushes in a case so maybe that's why ..
anywho we traded I gave her my Moroccan Oil for the brush and everyone was Happy . I love how soft it is ,easy to clean up and quality is pretty darn awesome .

Interesting, It could have been a production mixing error.
It’s a
beautiful color none the less.
Jayedyn has a her da's Jamaican Blood so she is darker then me and dark dark colors look better on her.

to soothe and rejuvenate your nails.
This brand
is also known for their 5 FREE standards which
consist of Cruelty free, Paraben free, Sulfate free, petrochemical free, Gmo

I am wearing
this color on my toes right now and it's pretty, dries super-fast plus it does
make it look like I had a Gel manicure.
I haven't had any chipping so we will see how long it last ,but i am gonna put it on Jayedyn's nails tonight
(that is where the real test begins)
she is blessed with those nails that grow, are perfectly shaped, polish glides right on, make you have nail envy bad . but a con for her is polish doesn't last long because of these things plus she is tough on her nails .
*Update-This lasted on her nails for not even a day. (LOL)
there was no top coat applied so that may have been an issue.
A pretty good gel formula in my opinion.
*Update -My polish is still on my toes and I Did apply a top coat .
Still a favorite of mine in a gel formula *besides busting out my Shellac system (which with my Lupus makes it hard to apply) my favorite polish is still Sally Hansen Miracle gel because I can't mess it up and it dries in seconds plus the colors are gorgeous .

I am currently wearing Tipsy Gypsy it's a dark pink .
My name is Misty, I have a polish addiction! I have over 250 polishes *prob a lil more I haven't updated my spread sheet in a long time.
(Yes I have a spread sheet.)
It makes things easier. I started it when I was working as a Esthetician .It helps keep me from buying duplicates of the one's i have already , Lists the dates bought so I know when to get rid of a polish, If anyone borrowed it so i could get it back . Now it's just for the polishes i own and dates.
I used to be very organized before I got sick.
Now the only organizing i do is what shirts will match my pj bottoms?
This is my life with Lupus, It is not fun at all, everyday i hate it more and more because it has taken away my ability to function and be normal . I am so tired all the time and I just can't do things .
I am also loosing my vast knowledge like simple elementary subjects for instant I struggle a lot with this one .
Where does punctuation go? WTHeck
(I hate this and apologize up front if this is an issue )
I use to be able to spell anything on a drop of a dime and get it right. But now I am finding myself using the spell check more often.
They call it a Lupus Fog and yes I have it. It's also hard for me to remember things like important dates and stuff you just told me a second ago . I am only 40 yrs old !
I went off on a tangent there . Sorry
BUT Lupus really does suck!
Well that is all the goodies that came in her bag .
Can I just say that the Luxie Brush for $24 makes this month's bag worth the value of a $10 subscription In my opinion.
There were things that she liked and some that were not for her but overall she was pleasantly happy.
This has been something fun to share with my daughter.

I love that
we can mix and match stuff. She can always use the stuff I get in my bag
as well and Vice Versa. If she isn't being selfish .

mention she used her points that she earned and got a gift.

I am trying to finish up a review for some Brushes I received. You would think this would be easy to do since I am home all day. It's been a rough couple of weeks but I hope to have this up soon. Here is a teaser they are Oval and supposed to be a dupe for some expensive ones.
As Always,
Stay Strong and Keep Fighting,
Misty
