Summertime is finally here, and with a new month comes a new Ipsy bag. For those of you unfamiliar with Ipsy it is a monthly beauty product subscription service. So you pay a monthly fee of $10 + tax and they send you a random 4-5 sample assortment and a fun makeup bag. Each month has a theme so this month's was "Pretty in Paradise." The makeup bag is absolutely gorgeous. It was designed by Rebecca Minkoff and I think it's my favorite one yet. All of the products were pretty exciting too.

The Real Tree fragrance has a nice scent to it, it is very florally but has a slight musky edge to it that I love. Plus it is a good sized sample. The Nyx butter gloss I already own but I am more than happy to have a backup. The butter glosses have an amazing scent like a vanilla cupcake, and the texture is perfect, thick and pigmented without being sticky. Creme Brûlée is actually my favorite shade because I find that it's the perfect nude on me. I haven't tried the Marc Anthony Dream Waves spray yet but I am probably most excited about this. It seems like the perfect summer hair product. And I'm down to try anything that will keep heat off of my hair. 

I haven't opened the Be a Bombshell Mascara yet because I don't want it to dry out while I'm finishing up my Benefit They're Real (yes I'm one of those people who only likes to have one mascara open at a time) but I'm assuming it's new because I couldn't finad any reviews of it online. So I will do a first impression once I try it. The Ofra Universal eyebrow pencil looks interesting too. I'm not a huge brow person because mine are pretty naturally thick, but I do fill in a little bit. I'm happy my brows are darker because this pencil seems very dark, so I'm not too sure how it can be universal. But I'll give it a go and get back to you.

Overall, I'm very happy with Ipsy this month. I think that it's a great amount of products for only $10. If you haven't tried a subscription box but you're just getting into beauty products or you enjoy trying a wide array of products I would highly recommend it. You would't be able to get this many products for that price, and it's fun to see what things you'll get to try each month. Here's a link if you want to give it a try: http://www.ipsy.com/r/3y3f

I hope everyone's having a great start to their summer! xx
