Before I tell you about my May Ipsy bag, waitlisters, if you are still waiting, sign in and then visit this link. If you haven’t joined and want to get in on June, sign up for Ipsy!  I was so excited to see this fantastic CANVAS Ipsy bag this month. Seriously! I love the bags, and if I don’t use it, I pass it on! (This one is staying with me, thank you!). Anyhoo, the theme this month was fresh picks! I didn’t have any bag envy this month – I would have preferred one product over another, but I was happy with my bag! It didn’t hurt that I redeemed some points I’d saved for two bonuses!

May 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag

IMG_4370

Hang Ten Classic Sport SPF50 ($2.20) Look, I’m never going to complain about sunscreen. And this is an adorable bottle!

IMG_4372

Balanced Guru No Frizz Organic Sesame and Lemongrass Balancing Oil ($12.50) This is the one product that I really just don’t need at all, but I love that it’s organic, and I will be using it on my son’s straw-like hair!

Avène Thermal Spring Water  ($9) I am addicted to spray water. That is all. You can save 15% on Avene right on Drugstore.com, because of Ipsy. That was cool! But seriously I use all these sprays. They feel great!

Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow Duo ($3.50) This is Duo #2. I love Pacifica products but I didn’t think this one was very high performance. It got better with the use of a primer (swatches on top).

The purple on the bottom (no primer) looks very dark in the photo but it wasn’t really at all on my hand.IMG_4375

Boo-Boo Cover-Up Boo-Boo Cover-up: Medium Shade ($19.99) My only thing is that I think undereye concealer (what I use concealer for) should be maybe a touch lighter than the rest of your face. But I’ve been looking for a concealer and I’m going to try this one!  – After actually looking this up it’s for boo-boos/acne. So I guess I’ll use a teensy bit when I need that, which is pretty rare. Their tag line is heal while you conceal.

My May Ipsy bag had five items and $47.19 in value! I would have loved to try the Too Faced but it’s in the Sephora Sun Safety kit for 2014 I just bought yesterday I think, so I’m not super broken up about it. One of my favorite subscriptions this month!

Also, FYI, if you have Ipsy Points Jouer glosses are up now, I’m sure they’re going fast. I rarely get a bonus item but I got two this month!

I got this BareMinerals Lipstick, and I love love looove Bare Minerals!IMG_4377

And TokyoMilk Dark Lip Elixir in Salted Caramel. Hilariously, I purchased this yesterday morning at Sephora. It’s amazing but I don’t need two, so that will find its way into a giveaway soon! Thank you so much for using my link when you sign up (or any of my other referral/affiliate links), I do totally absolutely appreciate it. All the time.

Tell me what you got in your bag!

    I got the same sunscreen (goes to my daughter, since I avoid the sun) and spray spring water (very interesting!), duo #1 of the eye shadow, Pur-lisse moisturizer (seems kind of redundant with the water), and Bloody Mary Nailtini polish.

      Oh no the spray water is so refreshing and not redundant with the Pur-lisse! Try it after a few hours at your computer!

    Wow this is one good IPSY month! Mine just shipped and I managed not to look at my Glam Room to be surprised. 🙂 You got really great products. Love the Bare Minerals ( crazy for that brand) lipstick, and really intrigued by the Tokyo Milk. Great review! XOXO, Elif

      I have 2 more lip elixirs in my sephora cart. I cannot help it. I did look at my Glam Room this month and it was the first month where I wasn’t really upset that I didn’t get x or y or z! This reminds me, I have the yearly day before Thanksgiving bare minerals thing on auto-delivery and I should be getting it this week!
