Happy Friday the 13th all. How is your day going? I started my day off at the dentist for my bi-annual teeth cleaning. Teeth feels squeaky clean, best feeling in the world... well one of the best at least.
My June iPsy bag arrived today and upon seeing the products inside, I had mixed feelings about this month's products. They're not bad products, just ones I have tried and/or already own.
On another note, I am so much in love with the makeup bag itself. iPsy collaborated with Rebecca Minkoff to create the makeup bag. Ugh, it's so beautiful!
But let's take a look at this month's five products.
Be A Bombshell Lash Out Mascara - Full Size
I was first introduced to Be A Bombshell from iPsy when I received a product in one of their first bag. Since then, I have received many other products from Be A Bombshell like their liquid eyeliner, blush, "all over" stick among others. This month, I received a mascara called Lash Out, cute. Haha. From what I've previously experienced with other Be A Bombshell products, I have really high hopes for this mascara. On the other hand, not all mascara works for my lashes. They are thick and painfully straight. It takes much, much effort to get them to curl and stay curled. I have a complicated relationship with mascaras. I have to use waterproof formulas here in Arizona because the hot weather and oily skin makes my mascara smear all over. But if I use waterproof mascaras everyday, that will cause my lashes to become brittle and weak. Sigh.... This mascara is not only not waterproof but from a brand I have yet to use their mascaras. I'll risk everything and put it to the ultimate test. Check back with me in a couple of week to read about the results.

Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray - Deluxe Sample
I was recommended this product from my cousin who has fine, thin hair a while ago. It did nothing for my thick, dense hair. I was most disappointed to see this product appear in my bag this month. I'm still contemplating if I should give it a try again or just hand it over to my cousin. It does smell very nice... and my hair is a lot shorter now then it was before.. So there is a strong possibility of me keeping and testing it out again.

Nicka K New York Shimmer Eyeliner in Blue - Full Size
Love, love, looooove seeing this in my bag. This totally makes up for the Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray. I've really been into glitter liners as of late and super excited to receive it in a color I won't normally buy on my own. I own some in the more neutral colors like gold, pink, white, silver but nothing bold and bright like blue! I cannot wait to experiment with this.

NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel - Full Size
iPsters who received this Butter Gloss could have received one of the three, Eclair, Creme Brulee or Apple Strudel. One downside to that, I OWN ALL THREE SHADES!!!! I received Apple Strudel, a beautiful pinkish-corally nude shade that I enjoy using. I'll probably keep this and throw it in my purse as a back up instead of giving it away.

Laneige BB Cushion - Deluxe Samples
I almost audibly screamed when I saw this. I've been dying to try this out, not necessarily ones from Laneige but the whole BB cushion concept. It's the new IT thing within the Korean cosmetic brands. This deluxe sample I received came with the cushion, a light, medium and dark shade. I absolutely love BB Creams for the Arizona Summer because other face products might be too heavy or easily make me become extremely oily.I already own a drawer full of BBs but another one won't hurt...much. I will definitely jump on these as soon as I can.

Alrighty, that concludes the products from this month's bag. Please come back in a couple of weeks when I have used these products enough to conduct a review for ya'll. In the mean time, explore the previous months' bags.
Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all! :) ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!
