What's in my June Glam Bag (plus discount codes)

My June Ipsy Glam Bag came in this week and I'm excited to share it with you.  I would say that this was a good bag; nothing great, but not terrible.

The first thing I pulled out of my bag was the Vasanti Cosmetics Power Oils Lip Gloss in the color Super Mom.  It's a nice mauvey type color.  It's a very hydrating lip gloss with raspberry, peach kernel, pomegranete and jojoba oils.  I really like glosses even though mattes are still trendy right now.  Mattes just make my lips look too dry. You can check out this lip gloss and other Vasanti products and use the code IPSY30 for 30% off.  The full size is $22 for 6.5g which gives the same a value of $6.75.

The next makeup item in the bag is the Balm Spring Blush from theBalm Cosmetics.  It's a nice rosy blush shade that claims to be long-wearing.  I'm always up to try a new blush.  You can get this or anything else from the Balm for 20% off with code IPSY20.  The full size is 5.61g for $21 which gives this same a value of $2.


Finishing up the face products is the Doucce Maxlash Volumizer Mascara.  The brush on this mascara is so fluffy to really coat each lash.  It will fatten up your lashes to give you mega volume.  Use code LASH30 for 30% off any Doucce purchase.  The full size is $22 and this mini is valued at $9.



Moving on to nails bright the Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in the color What's a Budget?  It claims to be ultra-opaque, insanely shiny and chip-resistant.  (I have been wearing it for a week and I will say it's one of the most chip-resistant polish I've used).  I also love that this polish is cruelty-free, 10 free, paraben free and GMO free.  You can get 30% any Trust Fund Beauty product with code
IPSY30.  This product came as a full size as is valued at $15



Last in the bag is the Coconut & Cream Triple Moisture Body Lotion in the Delectable line by Cake Beauty.  It has a coconut smell (that's isn't overpowering) and is very hydrating  It contains a blend of coconut oil, shea butter and aloe very.  You can get 25% off any $50 or more Cake Beauty products.  The full size is 8oz for $14 which gives the sample a value of $3.50.

Overall a nice bag!  The value was over $35 which is pretty good.  I really like the nail polish and the lip gloss and can't wait to try out the mascara.  Check out Ipsy if you want your own bag!

5 hair products that should be in your cabinet

If you are like me you are always trying to get your hair to look it's best.  These are the five hair products that you need in order to get your hair looking it's best.


Dry Shampoo
I've started shampooing my hair about twice a week.  Not only is it saving me so much time I really feel that it's better for my hair.  Even so, by day 3 I need a little something to absorb some oils at my roots.  Dry shampoo is your friend (it is even great to add texture to your hair).  I have tried two types of dry shampoo: spray and powder.  Essentially they are the same as the spray is just power in an aerosol.  Try them both and see which you like.  I keep both types in my cabinet.

Hair Spray
I use hair spray a lot as a way to add some texture to my hair.  I know I could buy a texturizing spray, but hair spray works just as well, it's cheaper and already in my cabinet.  Of course I use hair spray for it's traditional purpose of adding some hold.  It's also a good way to get rid of static.  Just spray some on your brush before your brush your hair and your static is gone!

Hair Oil
My hair often gets dry, especially at the tips.  This causes flyaways on a good day and crazy frizzy hair on a bad day.  A little hair oil helps (but you have to be careful not too put too much or your hair will look greasy).

Heat Protectant
While I try not to put too much heat on my hair I can't totally avoid it.  With my hair already leaning towards the dryer side (especially during the winter) a heat protectant can help out.  It will protect my hair from getting too dry from my blow dryer and straightening iron. 

Hair Mask
With everything that we do to our hair it sometimes needs a little TLC.  A hair mask is something that helps to restore hair back to normal.  Find the type that for the damage that you hair has.  I typically go for repairing or moisturizing.
