"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:

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

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. :)
