FEBRUARY IPSY BAG REVIEW!

I have been an Ipsy subscriber for three months now. Every month has been great. This is my first month blogging though. Ipsy is a monthly subscription of an affordable $10 a month or a year for $110 (one month's savings). You receive four to five deluxe sample size products ranging from skin care, nail polish and make-up. The thing I like most about Ipsy is the fact that I normally wouldn't go out and purchase products I haven't really experimented with or hardly know anything about. So, receiving this sample bag a month is great for make-up junkies such as myself or any new beginner. This really gives you a chance to go outside your usual everyday look and if it doesn't work out in your favor you can easily unsubscribe. Ipsy has a fast response care available on their Facebook! www.facebook.com/ipsy 

Here is my February bag broken down. 

First, I'll start off with what you see after you've opened the pretty metallic pink bubble wrap envelope. The Ipsy cosmetic bag. Every month is something new and exciting. This month; the month of "love" was all about pinks, reds and purples. The outside of the bag was simple yet a stylish bright pink, but on the inside is what catches your eye. Once opened and emptied you'll notice the inside is a beautiful pink leopard print. Making up for the plain outside. "Never judge a book by its cover."

Firs thing I reached for out of my bag were these false lashes from J.Cat. These were in EL01. A full set of lashes, perfect for any night out. This set retails on their website for $3.99. jcatbeauty.com These lashes make anyone's small eyes seem instantly bigger.

Here I have them on. I have small, almond shaped eyes and once applied my eyes seemed much larger. I wore these to a romantic dinner with my boyfriend. I love them and intend on using them again. They are very long and luxurious and aren't for an everyday look, but that being said, I'm sure these lashes could look good on just about anyone:) 

Next thing I pulled out was my Pacifica body butter in, "Hawaiin Ruby Guava". This has become my "holy grail" of lotions. To be honest, I had never tried them out before. I have seen and heard of them, but never picked it up so I was happy to see this in my bag. I tend to have dry skin most of the time. Especially after the shower and before bed. This lotion goes on smooth over the skin and is a nice  refreshing and hydrating finish . Like, running your hand through silk. This bottle retails on their website for $15.00 for an 8oz tube. pacificaperfume.com 

The scent alone sends my mind to a beach in the Bahamas. If you ever come across this or any of their scents be sure to pick it up. You'll love it!

I let out of screech when I pulled this out next. The infamous Zoya!!! I had heard review after review on this wonderful nail polish brand, but never seemed to buy it. (I don't know why.) I can't stress enough how excited I was to receive this. The shade alone, "Odette" is simply gorgeous. I can best describe it as a mauvy/cream shade. It's to die for. The finishing coat as you can see here, is quite shiny. This is after three coats. This retails on their site for $9.00. www.zoya.com

 Here is my next item, Pop Beauty "Plump Pout" in the shade Fuchsia Freesia. This shade is a bright pop of pink. As a lipstick girl myself, lip gloss isn't always my go to product, but as I stated at the beginning, I love receiving products I would never think to buy. This gloss is a super light weight and creamy texture which went over my lips very easily and seemed to spread evenly. Though, I must admit, the smell was not my favorite part. It had a weird stench to it. Maybe I just got a bad one. I have purchased a different kind and it seems to smell better. This is said to have avocado and jojoba oils. This retails for $16.00 on their website; popbeauty.co.uk

Last, but not least was the Tini Beauty creamy eyeshadow and eyeshadow base in the shade, "Spiced Rum". I can best describe the shade as a warm bronze almost. It is GORGEOUS. I wore this for a few hours the other day and experienced no creasing. On top of its beautiful color and soft application this happens to be cruelty free and vegan! This is a beautiful and simple product perfect for anyone from make-up gurus to someone just starting out.







Here is a swatch of the color.
