SNEAK PEEKS: Ipsy July 2014

July 4th, 2014

Dang, I didn't think Ipsy would post a sneak peek on Friday due to the holiday, but it looks like they did!


SNEAK PEEK #4: Nothing but lemonade in this summer bunch! Which one of these fabulous products are you hoping will sweeten up your summer? 


Derma E BB Creme


Befine Daily Moisturizer with SPF15


Faith Aromatherapy Citrus Ginger Moisture Rich Anti-Oxidant Body Lotion


Marrakesh Endz Split End Mender & Preventer


Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray


Whet Nail Polish


Lavilin Jojoba Gel Cream


Clear Clinic Vanished Clear Spot Treatment

July 3rd, 2014

A late update, but here's Thursday's spoiler for you:

"We're cooking up something hot this month! Which two of these amazing beauties do you want to help add extra flavor to your summer beauty menu?"

See anything familiar? I was spot on with my Elizabeth Mott guess for this month! :) 

Let's take a look at everything we have in this spoiler: 

Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balms


Benefit They're Real! Mascara


Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass


PurMinerals Big Look Waterproof Mascara



Lord & Berry liner (not sure if it's for lips or eyes!)


Whet Nail Polish


Pop Beauty Sunkissed Bronzer


Model's Own Nail Polish


Nailtini Nail Lacquer

July 3rd, 2014

Let me start this post by saying that this is NOT a sneak peek, just my own speculation.
Elizabeth Mott is a company that Ipsy works with fairy regularly and, so far, we've received every single item that they come out with very close to the time of release.

I was doing some digging and just noticed that they do, in fact, have a brand new product!

This is the Tints & Sass Lip Tint. Looks fairly similar to Benefit's Benetint, only it's cherry scented!

If this doesn't show up as a spoiler for this month's bag, I'd be willing to bet it'll be in our August bag. :)

JULY 2014 GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #1: Cream or powder? That's a slippery question. Which of these products do you hope makes a splash in your Glam Bag this month?
