Full Face Review || June Ipsy Glam Bag

Hi and welcome back to another Full Face Review using my June Glam Bag.

June Ipsy Glam Bag
This month I received:
BioRepublic Skincare: Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask & Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask
City Color CosmeticsShimmer Shadow, "Cheers to Life"
Doucce: Maxlash Volumizer Mascara
NYX Professional MakeupWhipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé
theBalm Cosmetics: Balm Springs Blush
& Canvas felt like bag with lips on the front.

Starters: I used the Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask before applying all the makeup to detox my skin and help refresh it as well for 15-20 minutes. I used filters because my skin nor my hair were cooperating with me.

After: After tapping the left over excess into the skin and waited for it to dry; I proceed with my regular routine before I hit eyes. I did my foundation, concealer, brows, a bit of bronzing/contour, and I set my entire face.  CLEAN CANVAS

Then: I began doing my eyeshadow with City Colors Cosmetics: Shimmer Shadow, "Cheers to Life." I used Freckles from Iluvsarahii x Colourpop Collection CHIC-Y palette and Dreamer from Tartelette palette and used "Cheers to Life" as a topper. The first picture is a swatch of "Cheers to Life." & the second and third pictures is a 'close up' of the eyeshadow.  

Then: I applied Maxlash Volumizer Mascara to both top and bottom eyelashes.

Finally: Since I had two different blushes I decided to top them on top of each other. The first picture is swatches of: NYX Professional MakeupWhipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé & theBalm Cosmetics: Balm Springs Blush.  The second picture I used the Whipped Cheek Soufflé and in the third is the Balm Spring on top.  & Also I used the NYX whipped lip in the third picture.

AFTERMATH & REVIEW:  After taking pictures with the entire look I realized that the whipped lip from NYX was to pinkish for my slighting bronze dramatic eye. So, in the second picture I changed my lipstick color to a light brown to compliment the eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BioRepublic Skincare: Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask & Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask || I only used one of the masks because the Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Mask is for 'after the sun.' Since I wanted to detox my face I used the Green Tea one, but I have to say it was both refreshing and irritating at the same time. The mask was to be left for 15-20 minutes, but I could only do 15 since it was burning my face. However, when I took the mask off I could feel my face feel tight. BUT then again it says you  need to use the mask 2-3 times  a week. So, no I didn't see "results."
City Color CosmeticsShimmer Shadow, "Cheers to Life" || The shadow was amazing! The pigmentation was outstanding although the picture doesn't do it justice. A thing I realized with shimmery shadows, is always wetting the shadow on the brush before applying for better application and pigmentation.
Doucce: Maxlash Volumizer Mascara || Is volumizing and lengthening the same thing? No, exactly. The Maxlash Volumizer Mascara did not live up to its name. I like the fact it lengthening my bottom lashes but there was no volume for my top lashes. If anything I felt like it separated my lashes and made them thinner. next.
NYX Professional MakeupWhipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé || Okay, I thought the color was everything! & I also thought that a 2 in 1 was good too, right? I liked the cheek (blush) side because it was so settle and its definitely my color. However as a lippie? No, it was way too light and it looked like a gloss, but I loved the way it smelled. I just wish the pigment was there for a lippie. I will be using this only as a blush.
theBalm Cosmetics: Balm Springs Blush || GIRL! If there's something I dislike it would have to be a pink blush, I know weird right? I felt like this blush was pigmented, which meant you had to be careful with how much you applied. & yes, I know it doesn't look pigmented in the picture, but it was on the cheeks. I would choose the NYX cosmetics blush over theBalm cosmetics blush though. 
Canvas felt like bag with lips on the front || I think the bag is cute. I appreciate a canvas felt and the big red smile on the front. I'm just not a fan of the polka dots, but other than that its good.

Overall, June Ipsy Glam Bag? 3/5 Stars.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed my full face review. See you next month for my next review!
