Yay! I'm finally an Ipsy Glam Bag subscriber! After seeing and hearing other reviews of Ipsy I knew I had to get on the bandwagon. What really sold me was that not only do you get awesome products, but every month you get a travel sized makeup bag!
February was probably not the best month to get my first glam bag. This month's theme was "The Look of Love," and I am not a fu-fu, pink kind of girl.
Plump Pout Mini in Fuschia Freesia
Pros: Love the packaging! I like lip glosses vs. lipsticks.
Cons: Hate the color. It's the color of something that would come in my five-year-old niece's "play makeup" kit.
Retail Cost of Full Size: $16
Value of Mini: $4 (?)
Zoya Nail Polish in Dot
Pros: This is my first time using the Zoya. A lot of people had recommended it to me.
Cons: Pink is probably my least favorite color.
Retail Cost: $9
Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow is Violette
Pros: I have never used cream eye shadow before and was glad to have the opportunity to try it out. It lasted all day!
Cons: Although purple is my favorite color, I think it makes my eye bags stand out. I will use this every once in a while. I would like this in a more subtle or neutral color.
Retail Cost: $16.00
Fresh Start Mask with Ice Age Mud by Skyn ICELAND
Pros:
After going through everything, this was the product I was most
excited about! This mask is used for 10 minutes once a week which is
definitely something I can fit into my beauty routine. Skyn ICELAND
is a "cruelty free" company - they do not test on animals!
Cons: It stays a little tingly even after you wash it off. The instructions suggest using a toner after. I would suggest a natural, green tea toner.
Retail Cost: $39 for 6 masks
Value in Bag: $6.50
Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue from J.Cat Beauty
Pros: I can save them a big night out or a photo shoot.
Cons: Neither of these occur in life, like EVER. I have no idea why these were sent to me. I've worn fake eyelashes once in my life, and that was for a dance recital.
Retail Cost: $3.99
This bag was awesome value-wise. The contents included retail for around $39.49, and I spent $10. However, overall, I was disappointed - mostly because I would never wear these colors and I saw some girls got blushes and beauty blenders in their bags and I would have much rather had those. Here's hoping March's bag is a bit better!

Still an awesome bag for $10! Hopefully your next bag will have better colors for you!
ReplyDeleteI got the hooker lip gloss (or it looked on me at least) and fake eyelashes too! Some people got blenders?? Dang it! I was jealous of the blush and now I have something else to be jealous about. Haha!
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling since you accident?? Better I hope!

It kind of was like a hooker bag with that lip gloss and lashes! I'm totally jealous of the other bag that others got!
DeleteI feel fine. Still waiting for my car to be fixed. Thank you so much for asking!
Sorry you were disappointed in the bag. Hoping next month is better! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally got a bag! Sucks that you weren't all that impressed! I was wondering why I got fake lashes as well...I never wear them. Especially some that are SO big and flashy! I mixed that Pop gloss with a little bit of clear on the back of my hand and it toned it down a lot and was super cute!
