It's time for another Ipsy review! The theme for the month of August is "Beauty Schooled", and I suppose the products are supposed to give you a "no-makeup makeup" look that's suitable for school. All the products I got in this bag were either colorless, or very lightly colored. The bag was also very cute, it's round and looks like an adorable pencil case. I think I enjoyed this month's bag a little more than last month's. I received five products and at least two were full-sized.
Pictures were taken under daylight bulb and swatches were done over bare skin (click to enlarge)

| Dry Shampoo |
Dry Shampoo: This is a dry shampoo from Klorane. I do enjoy getting dry shampoo because I feel like it's something that I might actually use. I tried it once (half-heartedly because my hair wasn't that dirty) and I don't feel like it did anything. Admittedly, I don't have much experience with dry shampoo as I find most don't work and baby powder works a lot better. I look forward to giving this more tries since I don't wash my hair every day.

| Pore refiner primer |
Primer: This was a sample from Dr. Brandt. I don't know why this was included in my bag as I don't use face products, especially not primers. I also don't have visible pores, so I might give this to my friends.
 |
| Lip Balm |
Anti-aging Lip Conditioner: This was a lip balm from Jersey Shore Sun. I've never heard of this brand before and I was really sick of getting lip balms. However, I decided to open it and it smelled delicious! I got it in the scent Mandarin Green Orange Ginger. It smells a lot like orange zest and I love it. The texture is thin and slippery, not something that works well with my lips. I prefer a waxier, thicker texture, but I know this texture works for plenty of other people.
 |
| Mascara |
Perversion Mascara: This was a mascara sample from Urban Decay. I was extremely happy to receive this sample because Urban Decay is one of the companies I want to try but don't have enough money to do so. This mascara works well for lengthening, but not volumizing. I haven't experienced any clumps yet, but I do enjoy using it.
 |
| Eyeshadow |
Eyeshadow: This is an eyeshadow called "Half Naked" from J. Cat Beauty. It's a shimmery cream color that would do well as an inner corner highlight or as a sheer wash of color all over the lids. The eyeshadow section can actually be flipped up to reveal a tiny mirror and sponge applicator inside. I thought that was absolutely adorable!

| Flash: Half Naked |
Even though I didn't get any crazy new makeup products or colors to try out, it was a nice understated bag for lazy days. As nice as the eyeshadow is, I will probably give it away due to me having tons of similar colors. I really like using Perversion mascara and enjoy smelling the lip balm daily. I've also already found use for the Ipsy bag itself. I love receiving Ipsy bags because I use them to organize my other makeup.
