February Ipsy Bag Reveal!

Hello,


Once again another month has come and brought with it another fabulous Ipsy bag!

This month's theme was "The Look of Love"

 I think the actual cosmetic bags have really improved over the 14 months I have been a subscriber.  This months is pink and has a pink and white cheetah print inside.

Here's what was inside:

First up:

Tini Beauty

Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base In One

"Say goodbye to creasing and fading with Eyetini Eye Cordial Shadow Tint & Base. Eye Cordial's revolutionary formula glides on beguiling creamy color and sets to a transfer-resistant finish that doubles as a wear-extending base under powder shadow."  Full size $18

I got Spiced Rum a gorgeous copper color and it is really pigmented, but can also be sheared out.

I also got:

City Color

Be Matte Blush

"This silky-smooth, highly pigmented matte blush compliments and blends evenly with your skin's natural glow. Extremely buildable to create a subtle or dramatic look. "  Full size $2.99

I got the color Fresh Melon, you can see it swatched above.  I love coral colors and don't have a matte one so this is a nice addition.

I most excited to try:

NuMe

Intense Renewal Mask

"Unleash levels of moisture that make hair more resistant to breakage from future styling and color treatments with the protective properties of NuMe’s Intense Renewal Mask. Your hair will show drastic improvement and superior results after the first treatment. With a special blend of powerful ingredients, the restorative and rejuvenating effects of the Intense Renewal Mask will leave hair feeling replenished, and alive." 20ml sample- $3.39

I stopped dying my hair 15 months ago - but the ends are still damaged, and if this helps my hair at all I will be very excited!

I also got:

Zoya Nail Polish 

"Fast-drying, chip-resistant, long-wearing nail polish. Toluene-free, formaldehyde-free, dibutyl phthalate (DBP)-free, camphor-free, vegan friendly formula."  Full size $9

And finally...

PoP Beauty - Plump Pout Gloss

"This plumping pout perfector combines the high-shine of a lacquered gloss with the long wear of a stain and is packed full of lip-plumping peptides and avocado & jojoba oils. Lightweight, creamy texture immediately merges with lips & delivers intense glossy colour for an extremely long-lasting finish."
Full Size $16

I got Peony Petal - it's pretty, and I want to try it over the Milani clear lip liner (I need to find) to see if I can get a gloss to stay on!

Total value = $49.38

Ipsy continues to surprise and delight me month after month!

October Ipsy Subscription!

Hello,

I came home tonight and my Ipsy Bag was waiting for me!  I have been so good about not looking at anything related to Ipsy so I had no idea what to expect.  Plus for the last 3 months they have been doing more customized bags with like 10 different product options so you really don't know what you are going to get.

So this month's theme was "The Art of Beauty"

 

 

The bag is really cute and below it I placed a list of all the brands that could have been in the bag.

 

So what was inside?

 

 

First up Lip gloss from OFRA I don't know much about the brand so I checked it out -

"We provide a broad range of superior quality cosmetics created from the finest ingredients available. Our pro makeup is perfect for professional application and instruction, incredible under the camera, and fabulous for every day use. Our Body Glow products are wildly popular for a dramatic, striking all-over glow. Ofra Cosmetics has now developed a specialized line of advanced vitamin C-based skin care products for the professional as well. Our skin care line utilizes the newest innovations to combine natural, effective remedies with sophisticated technology, creating the perfect foundation for the most radiant makeup application."  It reminds me of Krylon if they sold skincare too. 

 

 

This gloss has some color, it's not sheer which I like.  It also has a plumping effect (which I always love) and it definitely tingles!

 

Up next -

 

Nourish Organic lotion in "Coconut & Argan" - yea!  This feels great and I always am looking for a great lotion for my scaly winter legs.

 

 

 

Yea!!!! Ole Henrickson Truth Serum - I have been considering a new serum and this is one I wanted to try!  I will do a better review in a few weeks once I try it out. 

 

The Zoya polish is Morgan and the color is a lovely plummy purple hybrid.

 

 

Here it is swatched and you can see it has shimmer in it too!  I'm definitely wearing this soon!



 

And finally...

 

From Sexy Hair - Spray Clay (what !?!) -

 

"Sexy Hair Spray Clay is a "next generation" of styling gives you the effect of clay in an easy to use spray form. Hold: 7, Shine: 1. Spray Clay allows for a fine and even application to achieve an allover texturized look and is great for all hair types needing added texture and movement with a dry, non-waxy hold."

 

I do not know what this will do... but I think it might be good for my hair as it sometimes too soft and needs some hold and shape.  We will see!

 

So once again I am so impressed with my little $10 subscription - plus I realy want to know more about OLFA!

 

What products would you like to get?

Ipsy Spring Fling bag - May

Hello!

Last night I got my Ipsy bag! 

The bag itself is my favorite so far - I love the colors and the chevron pattern.  They also "switched" it up a bit more this month and people received bags with items from different brands - I'm really interested to see what others got!

I got a Pacifica self tanner (which I won't use - because I choose Pale!). A gloss from juice beauty, a concealer from Yaby, setting powder from Mirabella and a Zoya polish!

I love that the Yaby concealer will fit into the Glam RX palette we got two bags ago, it's a little yellow for me (but most concealers are) but this will be just fine in a pinch!

The Juice Beauty gloss (I'm not sure of the color) is a fairly light mauve with sparkles, it's not too sticky and looks just like my lips are glossy and a bit sparkly when on.  I have soooo many glosses that I think my mom just got an extra Mother's Day gift.

And finally the Zoya polish in Julie - you can see the swatch on the nail wheel to the left.  It's a lovely light lavender with silver shimmer.  A very spring-y color.  And that's this month's Ipsy bag - not bad for $10!
