So I know I said I was going to get rid of Ipsy... I lied, it's like an addiction, you hope that it will get good, and you just get disappointed. Anyways, onto the bag I received this month!
The
Bag:
I’m not the biggest fan of this bag, simply because of the
little saying on the bottom “BREAKUPS TO MAKEUP”. It just irks me. Other than
that, I really like the burlap material that they used. It’s nice that they are
starting to do more and more types of materials for their bags.
Urban
Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone
$14
I have never tried a clear lip-pencil. When I swatched this
on my hand I thought I was just putting straight up wax on it. However, it did
blend away some of the imperfections on my lips. I’m always down to get Urban
Decay products, mainly because I don’t want to spend the money on full-sized
ones!
Chella
Eyebrow Color Pencil in Tantalizing Taupe
$18
This was the month of eyebrow products in my subscription
boxes. While I do like a good eyebrow pencil I find this one to be a little too
rough on my eyes. I don’t if it will be like my Ofra pencil that you just have
to get past the base layer for it to work better. I’m also wondering if this is
Chella’s attempt at a Anastacia Brow Wiz dupe. Luckily taupe is a good color
for me, so this wasn’t a bad color choice.
Nuxe
Rêve de Miel Facial Cleansing and Make-Up Removing Gel
$1.40
A month or two back I said I was giving up Ipsy because of
the amount of face products I received. The fact that I received two this month
kind of annoys me. The fact that this also has caramel in it is kind of weird
to me.
Luxie
Beauty Rose Gold Tapered Blending Eye Brush 205
$12
A few months back I received a face brush by Luxie in an
Ipsy bag. I’m excited to have yet another brush by them. I have been wanting a
blending eye brush for a while that is good quality. I think this is my
favorite item in the box.
Bare
Republic Naturals SPF 30 Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion
$3
This is yet another face product that I will probably not
use. I like that they sent a face sunscreen that is natural, however the sample
size is so small that it seems like it would only last a week or two of daily
use. Again, how is it that I see bags where people get none or one (really
good) face product and I keep getting face products that I can’t use? Oh well.
Overall
I have mixed feelings about this bag. I love the Urban Decay Lippie and the
Brush. I have no full feelings towards eyebrow product. I’m not happy about the
face products. The bag itself is okay, I’m not big on the design on it, but I
like that it’s bigger than their normal bags and that they are branching out on
materials for the bags.
