December 2015 Ipsy Bag

Hello everyone! It's time for me to share my last Ipsy bag of the year with you guys, and this one is pretty darn good. 

The style of the bag isn't my favorite honestly. I like that it's red, but that's it. I do actually appreciate though that the zipper of the bag is on the very top. Most Ipsy bag zippers aren't like that, and it can be annoying. The products are what impressed me most!

First up is a Pacifica Power of Love Natural Lipstick in the shade Nudie Red. I don't see much red in this though, more of a nude/mauve color. I've never been really happy with the Pacifica products I've tried, but I'm pretty excited to try this. I've gotten more into lipsticks lately, so I'm in the mood to try them all.

Next up is the Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Primer. I love me a good eye shadow primer, and I've never tried this brand's before. I've been fairly impressed with other products I've tried from this line before. 

Then we have a ModelCo Lip Enhancer Illusion Lip Liner in a universal shade. Despite the packaging making me think it was going to be hot pink, it's a very natural looking nude/pink. I'm also delving into the lip liner world, so this is a good start for me!

I'm all about taking care of my super dry hair lately, so the Marc Anthony Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Treatment will get love from me. Ever since trying out the Keranique that I had reviewed previously, my hair is taking quite a bit to get back to normal.

I received a deluxe sample of the Clark's Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask. I'm so excited to use this because I love using moisturizing masks after a detoxifying mask in the Winter time, to help combat dry skin. I'm trying to use the GlamGlow hydrating mask sparingly because of how expensive it is, and I can get a good 2-3 uses out of this little jar. 

I'm not sure if everyone got this in their bag, but I also ended up receiving an Em Cosmetics Shade Play Artistic Eye Color Palette called Casablanca Neutrals. This is right up my alley color wise, and I've wanted to try this line for quite a while now, but it's pretty darn expensive. This was a nice little extra to see in my bag!

I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm so happy with the products this month! I was on the verge of cancelling, but now I'm going to keep my subscription going and see what the new year brings. If you're not already subscribed to Ipsy, you can do so here! It's only $10 a month, plus shipping for some, and you get typically 5 deluxe sized samples, sometimes full sized products, sent to you in a little makeup bag every month.

November 2015 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys! I finally received my Ipsy bag in the mail yesterday. Every month it seems to get here later and later, which is kind of annoying, but I'm glad it's here! Lets see what I got this month!

The theme this month is Beauty Blast, and the bag that the products come in is probably my favorite design since subscribing. I love anything galaxy themed and the color scheme is really nice too. 

The first product I received is the SLMissGlam Boutique Blusher Brush. The main reason I like this brush is because it's pink, but it's so stinking soft, I can't wait to use it! It seems a bit small for blush, so I may use it for highlighter or contouring, but I will try it for blush and see how I get along with it. 

The next product is the Coolway Stronghold Spray. It says you can use this either on dry or wet hair, but I don't really care for a product like this honestly. I don't use many spray type products in my hair unless it's a leave-in conditioner. I'll give it a shot sometime, but this is the product I'm most disappointed in getting. 

Next up is the ModelCo Highlighting Trio. Another not so great product for me since I have very oily skin. Cream or liquid highlighting products just don't go well with my skin so I tend to stay away from them. Maybe I can use them as cream eyeshadow bases instead. 

Then we have the Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara. I always love sample sizes of mascaras, and I don't believe I've ever tried this particular one. Smashbox has always been hit or miss with the products I've tried, so I'm hoping I like this. As far as I know, everyone received this mascara in their bags this month. 

The last product I received is the INSPR Beauty Eyeshadow in the shade Carnival. I think this is such a pretty taupe-y grey shade, and I'm pretty excited to try it out. I've never heard of this brand before, so it's nice to get something new to try. 

If you want to get your own Ipsy bag, you can do so via my referral link here! It's only $10 a month, plus shipping for some, and you get 4-5 deluxe sized samples of makeup, skincare, haircare etc. I'm divided on liking this month's bag, but usually they're pretty great for the price you pay!
 

February 2015 Ipsy Bag

Hey everyone! I know it's been a week since I posted, and I'm so sorry for that! I have the flu and it's really been kicking my butt. Today I'm finally feeling a little better, and I just got my Ipsy bag in the mail so I thought I'd show you what I got! I have to say, I was really excited for this months bag, but one of the products exploded damaging the bag. Luckily I can save the other products, but I did contact IpsyCare already, so hopefully they send out a replacement. 

I think the design of the bag is actually pretty cute this month! Pink is my favorite color, and I love it paired with the grey. The back of the bag is solid pink, and that is what got damaged from the exploded product, which you'll see in a moment!

The first product is the Cargo Cosmetics Mini Lip Gloss and I got the shade Anguilla, which is a pretty dusty pink color. Unfortunately I can't smell it right now because I'm so congested, but I like the color so I'll give it a try. 

Next up we have the Pencil Me In Cosmetics Natural Eyeliner Pencil in the color Amethyst. The lid has a built in sharpener which I'm not too fond of, but I do love purple. I'm hoping this is a nice pencil and doesn't drag on my lids. 

We have the ModelCo BLUSH Cheek Powder in the shade Peach Bellini. I kinda wish I got the other color they sent out called Cosmopolitan since that one is a pink. I can still work with this though so I won't complain too much. 

This Eva NYC Up All Night Volumizing Spray is the bugger that exploded and damaged the bag. Like I said above, I did contact IpsyCare, and they're usually pretty good when something like this happens. I just hope they don't send out another one of these. I'm not big into hair products.

The last product we have is the Hey Honey Take it Off! Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask. I'm kinda obsessed with masks and once I start to feel better, I'm gonna have to make up for not taking care of my skin this whole week. Honestly, it took all my strength to even get out of bed to brush my teeth, so I haven't done anything with my skin. Sad, I know. I'm paying the price now, but I'm hoping it bounces back quick!

That's what I got! If I hadn't had the exploding product in my bag, I would've been over the moon with everything. I probably would've tried the hair product too just to see if I liked it. It's alright though, I know things will be taken care of! If you want to sign up for Ipsy, you can click my referral link here to do so! It's only $10 a month, plus shipping for some, and you get 4-5 deluxe size samples in a makeup bag.
