The August 2013 Ipsy bag has the theme "Glamour Academy" to go along with the back to school season. My bag contained 5 products. The bag was a vibrant purple with gold Glamour Academy emblems. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in 69Full Size: $22 * http://www.urbandecay.com/urban-decay/lipstick%2C-lip-stain-%26-gloss/69/27280.html I was really excited to see Urban Decay's new lipstick in my Ipsy bag, but it is teeny tiny! The lipstick is about as tall & thin as my pinky finger! I got the shade 69, which is a bright cherry red. Anyway, the formula of the lipstick was extremely opaque, but did pull on my lips when applying. It's actually surprisingly water resistant & when it wears or washes off it creates a really nice red-pink stain! So, I think the formula of the lipstick is nice, but I would have liked a different color, as I never wear red lipstick. Nailtini Nail Polish in Mai Tai$13 * 0.05 fl oz / 15 mL http://www.tinibeauty.com/products/straight_up_color_mai_tai.cfm Next was a full sized nail polish from Nailtini. Mai Tai is described as a "vibrant sunrise coral", but to me it's just straight up orange. This really disappointed me, because orange is my least favorite color. But, I can always use this if I need orange for nail art and I can use it around Halloween. The formula of Mai Tai was pretty nice, though. It is very opaque and dries quickly, but a little bit streaky. Shown below is Mai Tai only on my ring finger, I will post swatches of Mai Tai on all my nails soon! Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient-Rich Facial MaskFull Size: 100 mL * $34 http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/index.php/pumpkin-nutrient-rich-facial-mask-102.html A lot of YouTubers use products from Micheal Todd, so I'm excited to test this out and see if the brand is as great as they make it seem. I got the Pumpkin Nutrient-Rich Facial Mask. I probably won't review this product because I'm not super into or knowledgeable about skincare and I most likely will not notice a difference with my skin to talk about in a review. But, so far I do like that it smells like pumpkin! Pixi Lash Boosting MascaraI'm interested to see how I like this mascara because I've never really looked at the Pixi brand at Target. I never hear anyone talking about it and it's on the expensive side for drugstore. This mascara provides a light, natural look. It's lengthening, but not thickening what so ever. Mica Beauty Eye ShadowThe Mica Beauty Eye Shadow in Bronze is a loose, shimmery light bronze. It provides a more subtle wash of color, so I will use it as a lid color or over a brown shadow to add shimmer. I like this product as a first impression, but I am not the biggest fan of loose shadows.
