February 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hello everyone! Yes, I know it's been forever since my last post, but it's been a bit crazy here in Eastern Pennsylvania lately. There have been snowstorms out the wazoo, the power in our house went out when we had a horrible ice storm, and all this nasty weather has been affecting me. I tend to get really down in the Winter, but all this snow we've had has definitely put me in a worse mood than normal. Anyways, I'm back to show you what I got in this month's Ipsy bag. I got this in the mail the day after Valentine's Day. 

The theme this month was The Look of Love, and I absolutely love the bag everything came in! If you know me, you know pink is my favorite color, so I'm definitely happy with how this bag looks and I may actually put it to use. Onto the products!

The first product I received is the City Color Be Matte Blush in the color Fresh Melon. This blush is a pretty color, but I'm not sure how it's going to look on my super fair skin. I usually go for pinker blushes, but this one is a coral-y peach color.

Next up, I received the POP Beauty Plump Pout Mini gloss in the color Peony Petal. This is more of a "me" color so I'll most likely have use for this. I have to say though, this gloss smells terrible! I can't really put my finger on it, but it's like a sweet smell that went bad or something. Kinda off putting. 

I received another Zoya Nail polish in the shade Odette. I'm getting a bit tired of receiving nail polishes in these bags man! I can't tell you how many I've gotten and they're all just sitting. I'm not huge into painting my nails because I just don't have the patience. This is a pretty color though, so I might try and put more effort into doing them more.

Another useless product I got is the J.Cat Beauty Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue. I don't have the best lashes on the planet, but I have never used falsies and probably never will use them. I have pretty sensitive eyes so I don't even want to run the risk of them getting irritated by these.

The last product I received is the Phyto-C Velvet Gel. I'm a skincare junkie, so I was happy to see something I could actually use in here! This serum type product is meant for wrinkles and fine lines, which I don't have, but like to use products to help prevent that stuff. Hopefully this is a nice product!

Overall, I'm disappointed with this month's bag. Looking at all the other products that were sent out, I wish I would've gotten another skincare item instead of the lashes. Oh well, can't win them all! Ipsy is still a nice subscription service and I'll continue to stay subscribed for now, but who knows what the future holds.

  2. That nail polish looks like a really pretty color. I'm with you on the lashes, I've had falsies on once, just long enough to get a picture. They don't work well with my glasses, always hitting up against my lenses LOL

    1. Ha! That would probably happen to me too! I've been wearing my glasses more instead of my contacts, so that would be no good for me lol

  4. That blush is pretty vibrant, but it would probably look fine if used with a fluffy brush. Great post!

  5. A lot of ladies had the odor issue with their glosses. If you e-mail Ipsy customer care, they will replace it for you!

    1. Oh really? Not all of them smell like that? I will have to email them! I just figured it was how all of them smelled.

      Here is my review.

    2. I think everyone that got the gloss had this issue! I'm sure it goes away after a little while so I'll hang onto mine

  7. I keep seeing things about Ipsy around.. I got my first glossybox the other day and I have to say I'm a bit hooked now, and have already signed up to birchbox as well. Not sure if we get Ipsy in the UK? Anyway I know what you mean about the nailpolishes! I am incapable of having nice nails - they second I paint them they chip, so I just use gellish now. Means I miss out on loads of fun nail paints but I'm just too heavy handed, I guess! Found you bloghopping so i'm your newest follower :)

  10. Wow, every single review I've seen on this bag says the lip gloss smells awful! And have you tried using a kind of thin duo fiber brush with the blush? I have a few crazy bright blushes and using a blush that isn't very dense has helped me
