Ipsy Glam Bag : June 2015

Hello, hello ! Sorry for being so MIA lately lots of life happening over here and I am going to try to do a life lately post in the near future!

Today, I have another review for all of you and its for my Ipsy Glam Bag. For those of you unfamiliar with Ipsy it is  monthly subscription service that will send you 5 samples and sometimes full size make up products to try! This service is only $10 a month and comes with a unique make up bag.

This is the make up bag that all of the samples came in this month. Personally, I am not a huge fan of this particular bag. The fabric feels a little cheap, and I hate that Ipsy is slathered all over it. The colours are nice, and I will still get use of it but definitely not my favourite make up bag I have seen from Ipsy.

After opening up the pouch here's a little preview of the goodies inside! At a quick glance I was not fully impressed as there was a few items on there I would of rather gone without. More on those products to come.

Item # 1: Healing + Vitamin E Penetrating Oil

 

 This oil is used to smoothe surface of the hair, add moisture and increase the strength and elasticity of your hair. I have yet to use this product, but I am one that uses a blow dryer and flat iron on a daily basis so I know that this could be beneficial to my hair. This is not a full size bottle, just a mini! 

Item # 2: Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick

I was pretty excited to see a Too Faced product in my bag because I have heard such amazing things about their products. Also, I am a huge fan of lipstick so that was another plus!  I have not used this product yet but the colour is fabulous. For those of you wondering the shade of this lipstick is melted candy.

Item # 3: Aurora Gel Effect Nail Polish

Nail polish along with lipstick is a love of mine. I have never bought a gel effect nail polish therefore this will be a first for me! I am not huge on the colour, but I will not let it go to waste! 

Item # 4: Precision Beauty Eyelash Curler

I was extremely disappointed to see this inside of my glam bag. I do not use an eyelash curler and I cannot name a time I ever have. When signing up for Ipsy you take a survey and in my survey I have specifically requested not to have products along these lines. I will definitely be making note of this for next month to avoid receiving another one. 

Item # 5: TreStique Mini Eye Shadow Crayon

Again, another item I was not overly thrilled to receive. I also specifically asked for no eye shadow as its something I don't get a lot of use out of. I really only wear eye liner and mascara when I go out and mascara on a daily basis therefore any other eye products are of no use to me. I did however try this one out on my Graduation day and the colour is lovely. I may consider keeping this for more occasions if not I'll pass it along to my sister or a friend!








Overall, I would say this bag was 50/50. I didn't really like the bag, eye lash curler or eye shadow but I did like the nail polish, lipstick and Vitamin E oil. I am hoping that July's Glam Bag is much more suitable!

Little Life Box Review

Being the lover of health and wellness, I am always looking for food options that promote this. After doing some research online I came across the Little Life Box. Little Life Box is an Canadian health subscription box. Each month over a dozen healthy alternatives are delivered right to your door!

After reading some reviews, and watching a few YouTube videos on the Little Life Box, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I decided to try out the trial box in order to get a feel of what sorts of products I would be sent each month. I purchased the original trial box for a low price of $21 CAD and it was shipped out on June 1st. If you are vegan, Little Life Box has vegan boxes as well. I was quite impressed with the shipping time as I received it just two days later!

 

I am obsessed with the packaging for this box! How cute is the tissue paper!?

Packed with loads of goodies! Including 25% off your first Little Life Box!



Item # 1: Roasted Chick Peas

 

I love chick peas, especially in baking and hummus  but I can't say I have ever had them roasted. I shared this bag with my boyfriend the other day and let me tell you they were amazing! I will definitely be purchasing more of them.

Item # 2 : Assorted Tega Tea

I am a firm believer in the fact that you can never have too much tea! I haven't tried any of these yet but I am pretty excited to try the mint chocolate.

Item # 3: Lemon Grass Citronnelle Sticks

I can't say I have ever used citronnelle sticks but I am intrigued by these and will definitely try them out!

Item # 4: Bounce Energy Ball

I like to consider myself a protein bar connoisseur as I am addicted to protein bars but I have never heard of or tried this brand before. Chocolate mint is one of my favourite flavours so I am sure this will be amazing!

Item # 5 : Dark Chocolate Cake Mix

I haven't baked this yet, but I mean who doesn't love chocolate cake?

Item # 6 : Soy Sauce

I'm not a huge fan of Soy Sauce but I will not let this big bottle go to waste. I'll try it out and give my review in the comments!

Item # 7: WowButter

 

I have an unhealthy addiction to Peanut Butter and if this stuff tastes anything like it I know It will be a hit! Plus, you can't go wrong with an ingredient list like that!

Item # 8 : Chai Tea Latte Mix

Once again, more tea! I enjoy an occasional Chai tea latte but because the weather is warmer now I will likely save this for a cooler day or for fall.

Item # 9 : Mini Dark Velvet Chocolate

I'm a huge chocoholic and I most definitely enjoyed this little piece of heaven! It had a perfect rich flavour.

Item # 10 :  Pure Laundry Detergent and Multipurpose Cleaner

I'll be honest with you and say that I don't normally look for the natural or organic cleaning supplies. I have not tried these yet, but I did enjoy the smell!

Item # 11: Camino Almond Chocolate

 

This chocolate bar was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a GF, organic bar I definitely recommend this one.

Item # 12 : Shea Butter

 

My skin is extremely sensitive and I am always hesitant to use new products. I have not tried this yet but I am excited to as the ingredient list seems pretty darn good to me!

Overall, I was extremely satisifed with my Little Life Box. I enjoyed the amount of goodies (especially the chocolate) that it contained and I am super excited for my July box to arrive!
