Case in point...Urban Decay's Perversion mascara (Full Size, $22).How many times have I almost bought this? At least 5 different times, I've picked it up and then put it back, telling myself I don't need another mascara yet. Well good thing I didn't buy it because a deluxe sample-sized tube was in my Glam Bag...yay!
My Thoughts: I'm so happy Ipsy included this newly launched product. Some subscription boxes seem like they just give leftover stuff companies are having a hard time selling, so this is a nice change from that. I tried this today but I want to wear it around a bit and see how it lasts and then I'll do a full review on it. But I will say that it makes my lashes pretty darn big.
The next product I got was a deluxe sample-sized tube of GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment (Full Size $69).
My Thoughts: This is another super hot new product I've been wanting to try, but I got this in my July Glossybox a few weeks ago and I still haven't tried it yet. I haven't made the time for a mask, I've just been rushing through my routine at night. OK, That's it...I'm trying this tonight, lol! If I love it, I'll be glad to have another tube of it, but if I hate it, then this second tube will be a waste. We shall see!

The next product I got was Manna Kadar's Sheer Glo Shimmer Lotion (full size $29).
Description: Sheer Glo is an incandescent liquid that lights up skin with all over radiance. Mix with foundation or wear alone to provide a luminous glow for all skin types. An especially amazing product for mature or dry skin. Sheer Glo provides a youthful glow and dewy finish. Use on face and/or body and get glowing.
Key Benefits:• Universal Shade
• Mix with foundation for a dewy glow
• Use as highlighter on cheeks
• Mix with lotion for an all over body glow
My Thoughts: This lotion has a sheer pink, shimmery tint. When I applied it directly to my hand to see the color, I thought it might look weird on my skin by itself, so per the instructions, I mixed it in with my foundation. Ah-ha! Instant glowiness that was very subtle. The pink gave a hint of warmth to my cool-toned fair skin too. I like it!

The next product was a full size Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Lip Conditioner (Full Size $5.50).
Description: Slather on this balm for soft lips all year long. Mongongo oil has hydrating, regenerating and restructuring properties and offers a unique protection from UV and environmental pollutants in skin applications. Mongongo oil is rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc, cooper and anti-oxidants.
Jersey Shore Sun® Mongongo Nutrient Dense Lip Conditioners are 100% natural and USDA certified organic. Fresh organic flavors. No petrochemicals. Nothing artificial. No petroleum.
My Thoughts: I have soooo many lip balms from my various beauty boxes that it's not something I get too about. This one is a very nice, hydrating lip balm with a yummy orange flavor (although they have a vanilla coconut one I would have been more excited about). I'll keep this and most likely use it along with my other lip balms, but I'm just kind of meh about it. It would be nice if it had some color!

Finally, I received a sample-sized Lord and Berry Silk Kajal Kohl Eye Pencil (full size $18).
Description: Sensual and exotic, that's the effect that Silk Kajal Kohl Eye Pencil delivers. Just like the traditional Kohl, but with the modern ease and control of a pencil. Giving a semi-matte finish that is also smudgeable, Silk Kajal Kohl's soft tip is ophthalmologically-tested and gentle enough to be used on the inner eye. Also available in Nudo and White.
My Thoughts: I have a ton of black eyeliners from various beauty bags too, and unfortunately, this one is a bit too smudgy for me- at least in the summertime- it might be better in the cool weather. It's very soft and applies easily, even to the waterline, but it doesn't last all day and I find it smudging under my eyes a little bit.

Overall, this was a pretty solid bag. I loved 3 of the products and the other two were okay, but just a little boring. Until next month Ipsy!
