September REVEAL - Ipsy

REVEALING SPOILERS, SNEAK PEEKS and MORE!
   



A sneak peek for September, Cookie? But, but...we haven't even seen your August Glam Bag yet?!...::sigh::...I know, my apologies darlin's. Ipsy had a humongous boo-boo with DHL shipping this month and my bag arrived SUPER late. I've just finished using the products though, so the review should be up this weekend! ::mwuah!::

Ipsy was gracious enough to provide us with one sneak peek before Labor Day weekend though! Time to start your sleuthing and guessing...here we go!

From Ipsy's Facebook:

 SEPTEMBER SNEAK PEEK #1

"A blend or quick brush of color is an easy timeless upgrade to any look!"
    

As you can probably tell, the item is:

NYX SINGLE EYE SHADOW


AND this email was sent to people who had unsubscribed as a resubscribing incentive! -

Here is a closer look at the swirl of shades:


So they will be sending out 20 shade variations! My best guess is everyone will be receiving one. It's really hard to see exactly which shades, but here are my best guesses:


RUST



WALNUT



COPPER



DEEP BRONZE



HOT ORANGE



GYPSY



GOLDEN



MELLOW YELLOW



SAHARA


TOFFEE SHIMMER



WHITE PEARL

WHITE



CRYPTONITE



BLACK


BLACK SPARKLE



FROSTED OCEAN


AUTUMN SKY



IRISES



BLUE MARINE



LUXOR



Like I said, these are my best guesses, there is no guarantee that these ARE the colors that will be in the September Glam Bag. I'll update once I know more!


From what it seems, given the wording of the sneak peek, I'm feeling some sort of retro, classic theme for September! Maybe 50's, 60's or just retro, "timeless" in general! What do you think? Ipsy won't give us another sneak peek till after Labor Day, so I'll be back on this post to update then!



 UPDATE 9/3

 Hellooooo again! and I'm back with another sneak peek! Was that Labor Day weekend soooo long with the Ipsy sneak peek waiting? Without further ado...from Ipsy's Facebook:

SEPTEMBER SNEAK PEEK #2

"This must-have product has been a classic staple for every bombshell since it's invention!"


and thanks to the awesome ladies at Makeuptalk.com, we already know what the product is!

ELIZABETH MOTT
IT'S SO BIG VOLUMIZING MASCARA


It seems that Ipsy has been on a mascara kick lately, but I can't complain since I'm always on the lookout for an awesome new mascara to wow me more than my current favorite! The Pixi Beauty Lash Booster last month was a bit of a bust for me, so here's hoping this one blows me away! You know I looooove myself some volume!

Also, still TOTALLY feeling the retro theme! Last year they had a Bombshell Glam Bag so even though they say "bombshell" in their Sneak Peek #2 quote I don't think that's what it specifically could be, but I am still thinking retro or classic as a theme. Especially since they've said both "timeless" and "classic"! 

So whatcha think? Yay or nay on this product?




UPDATE 9/6

I am BEHIND on some Sneak Peeks! Hello! This week was my first week back to work after a 3 week summer break, so I was working some long hours setting up the new year, as well as being so graciously overwhelmed by how incredibly awesome my giveaway is doing! I am so honored by and excited for everyone who's entering, thank you so much! 

On to the late sneak peeks!

From Ipsy's Facebook:

 SEPTEMBER SNEAK PEEK #3

"There's no limit of classic looks you can create with three of these gorgeous staples in your September Glam Bag!" 

That is a LOT of products right there! So from this we know that THREE of these products will be in each of our Glam Bags.

Get ready to start your guessing dance, cause it's time to break it down! (Ok, that was cheesy, I admit ::slaps wrist::)

   
MYSTERY ITEM #1 & #2 - Top left Corner
       


These could possibly be the same item, but with two of the sample bottle in different angles OR these could be two bottles of the same brand but different products. Hmmm.....we've already got a guess on what the product(s) could be! 

Take a look at the bottle closer up with the color adjusted:


Image from Zadidoll.com - Thanks Zadi!

You can make out the word HEAT and an STY-...so, presumably, this says HEAT STYLING! Given that info, the product is probably:

JOHN FRIEDA
FULL REPAIR SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER



 If you look at the bottom left corner (click on picture to enlarge) you can see the words: HEAT STYLING! Plus, it makes sense that there's two tubes in the sneak peek picture and there is a shampoo and conditioner! 





MYSTERY ITEM #3 - Top Right Corner



If you look ever so close, you can see that this is in fact, not one, but FOUR products on top of each other! 

Here's a enhanced picture with dash lines to show the different packets:



 and we already have confirmation on what these products are! The green and pink packets are:

FREEMAN FACIAL PAPER MASKS


 (Thanks to Anastasia from Glamorable! for finding this!)

Based off of this from their website, where they're offering a deal to Ipsy subscribers, that pretty much clinches it that these are the products in the picture. This appears to be the two shown in the sneak peek picture: (keep in mind the coloring is going to be off for many reason, one, Ipsy might have used a filter and two, I enhanced them a bit to see them more clearly)


ROSE BRIGHTENING FACIAL PAPER MASK


STAR FRUIT PURIFYING FACIAL PAPER MASK




as for the other two packets, this was found on Instagram not too long ago:

"Our Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels are in the September Ipsy glam bag! How cute is the #ipsy crew with their gels on!" - skyniceland Instagram


(click for larger image)

and here is the product itself! -

SKYN ICELAND
HYDRO COOL FIRMING GELS

How fab are these? Crossing my fingers to get them!





MYSTERY ITEM #4 - Right Middle on Top



This unfortunately, is still a mystery! However, it appears to be some sort of twist up pencil of some sort...either eyeliner or eyebrow. 





MYSTERY ITEM #5 - Middle Right in Center



Another unsolved mystery, however, you can easily tell it's a wooden eye pencil of some sort, either for brows or eyeliner!

EDIT 9/10 - It's a Starlook's Kohl Eye Pencil! Read below in the 9/10 Update for more details!


MYSTERY ITEM #6 - Middle Right on Bottom



Here we have ANOTHER eye product, but this time a precision eyeliner AND, not only that, but....we know what it is!

JESSE'S GIRL
WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINER
My thanks to Zadidoll from Zadidoll.com for confirmation!





MYSTERY ITEM #7 & #8 - Bottom Center



As you can see, there are TWO completely different items here, but it was difficult for me to crop each one out in separate pictures so we'll look at them both together!

Here is the picture flipped for a better view -



Not too long ago this was on J. Cat Beauty's Facebook page (J. Cat Beauty has been a product featured in Ipsy Glam Bags before!)



With J. Cat commenting on the Ipsy Sneak Peek picture, it pretty much means that there is at least ONE J. Cat Beauty product included in it!

It seems like the product out in front could be the J. Cat Beauty lipstick! Hard to say what shade based off of the picture but here are some that look similar:

EDIT 9/9: Just received confirmation from J. Cat Beauty's website, it IS going to be their HoneyCrisp lipstick!

J. CAT BEAUTY LIPSTICK in HoneyCrisp


J. CAT BEAUTY LIPSTICK in Caramel


J. CAT BEAUTY LIPSTICK in Glow Gold

It looks closest to Glow Gold to me, but also keep in mind that Honeycrisp is currently being displayed on J. Cat Beauty's homepage! We shall see!

As for the secondary item, it appears that it's some sort of square shaped bottle, which leads me to believe it could be a nail polish of some sort??? More on that further on with updates!






MYSTERY ITEM #9 & #10 - Bottom Left Corner



These BOTH appear to be repeat items from previous Glam Bags! Which, as we know from last month, Ipsy can do repeats but it seems like they send them out to subscribers who may not have received them before (Hopefully). They appear to be:

CHELLA IVORY LACE HIGHLIGHTER PENCIL



POP BEAUTY POUTY POP LIP CRAYON
Unknown at this time which color variation of the Pouty Pop they will be sending out, or if it will only be ONE color. You may not get a Pouty Pop Lip Crayon at all, too! 





MYSTERY ITEM #11 - Middle Left Center



This brand I DEFINITELY know, since they've sent out a previous item in a Glam Bag that is very similarly shaped! It's...

CAILYN COSMETICS!

Here's the image flipped so you can better make out the word: CAILYN



It appears that it may be one of their Tinted Lip Balms -


(Shown in color Big Apple)

This may not be the color being sent out, at the moment, there is no confirmation yet if this IS Cailyn, although it's pretty obvious to me, however, I'm not sure if it is their Tinted Lip Balm and/or what shade will be sent out. I'll update more as I know!

EDIT a few hours later - I just noticed this on Cailyn's Facebook:


which pretty much confirms that there WILL be Cailyn Cosmetics in the September Glam Bag and given the Sneak Peek picture, I'm 100% sure that's a Cailyn Cosmetic product. However, still not sure about whether or not it's the Tinted Lip Balm and what color it might be.

So that's it for the sleuthing of SNEAK PEEK PICTURE #3, but WAIT! I have Sneak Peek #4 to show you as well!  

From Ipsy's Facebook -


SEPTEMBER SNEAK PEEK #4

"No matter the time or the season, this month's Glam Bag will be a classic print you're going to fall in love with!"

not only that, but this picture was on Ipsy's website for the September Glam Bag! -



This bag is already getting fairly mixed reviews because of it's busy pattern, but personally, I ADORE IT! I think it's chic, an absolutely stunning color and fun! I'm SO looking forward to receiving my Glam Bag! 




UPDATE 9/9

We have confirmation on the J. Cat Beauty product! From J. Cat Beauty's website:

 (from jcatbeauty.com)

 It IS their lipstick in HoneyCrisp! 






 UPDATE 9/10

A picture popped up on Instagram this morning confirming several of the products that we've touched on for this month's bag INCLUDING the mystery wooden pencil!

(Instagram name not shown for privacy purposes)

It's a Starlooks Kohl Eye Pencil! 



    

From what I can see (the picture is a little fuzzy), it looks like it's the shade Obsidian.

Obsidian
from starlooks.com

  Another little hint for this product is that just recently Marci Star from Starlooks released a video on her Starlooks YouTube channel featuring the Kohl Eye Pencil for a dramatic, gorgeous eye look! What a coincidence!
