Today after much anticipation my June 2013 ipsy glam bag on the Wild Side arrived in the mail. Each month ipsy subscribers receive a bag in the mail full of full sized products and samples for a mere $10/month. In addition to the goodies in the bag, subscribers are also given special offers for the products featured in the bag that month.

June 2013’s theme is on the Wild Side.

The contents included:

Full Size Cailyn Iron Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner with Built-In Brush ($21.00 value)

Full Size Starlooks Tickle Me Pink Lip Pencil ($12.00 value)

Full Size NYX Angel Blush ($5.00 value)

Full Size J.Cat Beauty Volta Sparkling Cream Palette ($4.49)

Full Size J.Cat Beauty Eyelashes and Eyelash Glue ($3.99)

Total value: $46.48

The bag itself is pretty cute, my only thing is that I wished the bag opened from the top.

I’m really excited for the Cailyn Gel Eyeliner. It goes on smoothly and easily. I really love that it is water resistant, smudge-proof and designed for 24 hour wear. The built-in brush is really convenient and I love the packaging. I can see myself using this up really fast.

The Starlooks lip pencil is a really pretty shade that goes great with my skin tone. I never have used lip liner before, but I’m glad I got to experiment with this one. The application is smooth. At first, I was worried that I would have to push hard to apply it, but this was definitely not the case. I don’t see myself using this on a regular basis, which is nothing against Starlooks. However, I think I might pull this out every now and again to play with.

I’m not much of a blush girl, my cheeks naturally have a slight rose tint to them, so I’ve never actively searched for a blush.I have used blush in the past and it’s always good to have on hand. NYX’s blush has a nice light silky feeling to it. Angel is also a really light color (you can barely see it on my hand), even if I use it on my cheeks I won’t have to worry about it looking unnatural.

The first impression of this sparkling cream palette is I’m not going to have a good time. I’m not a huge glitter person, so I’m a bit biased off the bat. I don’t see myself really using this palette. The overall application, to my forearm at least, was smooth but it seems to move around easily.

*Edit: I have seen other places calling this eyeshadow, as well as people creating looks using this as eyeshadow. However, I was informed a little while ago (thanks letgoonanadventure!) that this is not intended for the eyes, but to be applied on your face. J.Cat does give this warning: “This product should be used with caution and attentive application around the eye area and on the body.”

My eyelashes are pretty long and full already, so that being said I won’t even touch the eyelashes from this month’s glam bag. The one time my friend put some eyelashes on me, I felt so uncomfortable and itchy. Instead of me ruining a perfectly good pair of eyelashes, I will be giving this set to a friend of mine that likes using eyelashes. Just a few comments on this product though, I like that this is 100% human hair and the packaging is simple, yet appealing. It appears to be a nice set of eyelashes and I hope my friend enjoys them.

Overall, I really enjoyed this month’s ipsy glam bag. I got some things I probably never would have bought on their own. The Cailyn eyeliner alone is worth twice what I pay monthly. I can’t wait to see next month’s!
