Ipsy July

Okay, so you know how much I love lip products, right? Getting a new lip gloss in my Ipsy bag is always a highlight! This month's clear lip gloss looks really promising. I'm always on the hunt for that perfect non-sticky, hydrating formula that gives a beautiful shine without feeling heavy. I've had some amazing lip glosses from Ipsy before, and some that were... well, not quite my jam. But that's the fun of subscriptions, isn't it? You get to experiment! I finally got a chance to try out this gloss, and let me tell you, first impressions are everything! It has a lovely smooth texture, not too thick, which is a big plus for me. I love how a good clear lip gloss can instantly elevate any look, whether I'm wearing a full face or just a quick swipe for a natural glow. Sometimes I dab a tiny bit over a nude lipstick for extra plumpness, or even over a bold lip color to soften it a bit. It’s so versatile! It really just makes my lips feel hydrated and look fuller, which is exactly what I want in a daily gloss. When it comes to Ipsy lip glosses, I've learned a few tricks. Always check the ingredients if you have sensitive lips, and don't be afraid to try shades you wouldn't normally pick. My orange blush compact this month, for example, is totally out of my comfort zone, but I'm excited to see how it pairs with this gloss for a fresh, summery vibe. Sometimes, Ipsy introduces me to brands I've never heard of, and their lip glosses often become unexpected favorites. I try to consider things like how long the shine lasts, if it's moisturizing, and if the applicator is easy to use. A good applicator can make all the difference, especially when you're on the go. This month's floral drawstring bag is also super cute and big enough to hold all my daily essentials, including my new gloss, a small purple liquid foundation tube, and even that little brown tube I got for my brows. It’s perfect for tossing into my larger bag! I find that having a dedicated lip gloss spot in my bag prevents it from getting lost. And speaking of essentials, sometimes I'll even use a lip gloss with a slight tint to add a pop of color when I'm just doing a quick routine with a bit of foundation and a brow pencil. The versatility of a good gloss is unmatched! Overall, I'm really happy with this month's lip gloss from Ipsy. It's exactly what I needed to refresh my lip collection. If you're an Ipsy subscriber, don't overlook the lip glosses – they can be hidden gems! They're perfect for adding that finishing touch or just making you feel a bit more put together, even on days when you're just recovering from being sick and not quite ready for a full face. I love how a simple swipe can instantly make me feel a little more glamorous. What are your favorite Ipsy lip glosses you've ever received? I'd love to hear your recommendations!
