June 2013: Ipsy, Birchbox & Influenster

Hi Beauties! Well, you guys seemed to really loved the collaboration video and blog I did last month for both Ipsy Glam Bag and Birchbox. Remember, the unboxing video is at the end of this blog. Plus, Influenster is making their special debut in this blog as well.

The theme for Ipsy Glam Bag is "On The Wild Side".
The theme for Birchbox is "Wonder Lust".
The theme for Influenster is "Spring Fever VoxBox". 

(Note: I really wish Ipsy that they would have sent in a card with all the information/pricing on it like Birchbox does and Influenster). I've been trying out these products that Birchbox have sent me on June 3rd, 11th & 17th, 2013 over the past few weeks and here are my thoughts on what I've thought about some of the products that they have sent to me.
