IT Cosmetics – Mini Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil
Full Size Retail Cost: $24
This brow pencil was the breakout star of my June Glam Bag. To be honest when I saw that it was a ‘universal’ eyebrow pencil I was extremely skeptical but IT Cosmetics hit it out of the park with this baby. The shape of the product is an oval so I find it easier to cover the larger spaces of my eyebrow while also being able to get detailed lines along the edges. The applicator even comes with a brush on one side. I have been an Anastasia Beverly Hills customer since I discovered eyebrow filling but I may be switching teams.
Final Verdict: Go out and buy this product now!
Smashbox Cosmetics – Travel Size Photo Finish Foundation Primer
Full Size Retail Cost: $36 (1oz)
This was an exciting addition to my bag this month since this is a primer that I already had in my collection. I swear by it. I do not use a primer every day as I don’t wear a lot of foundation to work. This is my primer when I have a special occasion or a night on the town. With this primer a little goes a long way and leaves your face feeling like a rose petal.
Final Verdict: Totally worth the splurge.
BioRepublic SkinCare – Sheet Mask Trio
Retail Cost – $4.99 ea
Before this month I had never heard of BioRepublic SkinCare and the only sheet mask I had used was the Green Tea mask from Sephora. I received the Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask, Cucumber Breeze Soothing Fiber Mask, and Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask. While I think these masks are great I couldn’t really feel a difference between the Sephora brand sheet masks so these were just an ok product for me.
Final Verdict: Definitely worth a try.
Formula X – Mini Power Source nail color
Full Size Retail Cost: $10.50 – $12.50
Nail polish is always a tough sell for me since I am a total OPI snob. My mom being a nail tech for many years made me this way. This was not my first time trying Formula X nail polish so I was ready. The polish stays on for up to 7 days when using a base coat and top coat. The shade I received was a typical summer pink which I was definitely into. What I like most about these mini Formula X polishes is that they are great to travel with.
Final Verdict: Definitely worth a try but be sure to use a base and top coat.
tre’StiQue – Mini Shadow Crayon
Full Size Retail Cost – $26
This was my first introduction to tre’StiQue products and I love that is was a shadow crayon. I subscribe to Ipsy so that it will take me out of my comfort zone. I am a big powder shadow user and avoid any types of crayons or wet shadows. The tre’StiQue mini shadow crayon definitely changed my mind. It has a smooth application, crease-less wear and the packaging is just too adorable! I receive the shade Marimoto Pink Pearl (nude pink shimmer).
Final Verdict: Definitely worth purchasing.
Loved this review. I’ll have to try out that universal brow pencil!

Totally love trestique’s Mini Shadow Crayon. The application was smoother than I thought and was so pigmented. I got the same color and I absolutely loved the shade!

Have you ever tried Birchbox? Just wondering how it compares to Ipsy?

I have not tried Birchbox yet. I’ve been thinking of switching subscriptions once I’ve hit a year with Ipsy just to try something new.

The brow pencil is interesting to me! I have a small scar in my left brow which means I have a gap and it’s difficult to fill in with an ordinary pencil and I find the powders that cover well are usually too dark.
Funnily enough, I just bought a new creme shadow last night. The first one I’ve bought. I’m the same as you – powder only, but I wanted to try this one to see what it’s like. It’s a “Metallic all-purpose illuminator”. Deliciously shimmery.

You should totally try out the brow pencil it’s pretty great. Depending on your pressure during application it can be dark or light. That creme shadow sounds beautiful who is it by?

Oh sorry, it’s Napolean Perdis. I got some new foundation and a primer and this illuminator last night. They had a promotion for a gift with purchase so I got lots of goodies as well – blush, lip gloss, cleanser, small primer, tiny lipstick, tiny concealer, all in a cute bag – so much fun!!

Oops I spelled it wrong. Napoleon Perdis. It’s an Australian company. Apparently he has stores in the U.S. and is also stocked by a shop called Ulta.
