May Ipsy Bag | Review

Hi Everyone!

I am here today to give you a review on the products that I received in my Ipsy bag this month. I received my bag last week and have had a chance to use my products and this bag has a few hits and misses for me. 


Let's Get Started!

---------------



First let's start out with the brush because it is my favorite item from the bag. I have never had a proper fluffy blending brush and this one is amazing. The bristols feel soft and they are great at blending. It creates a smooth transition with colors and I would highly recommend checking out this brand because they deliver high quality brushes at a fairly reasonable price. I will without a doubt purchase more brushes from them. I have used it a week and have not seen any fall out or roughness of the bristles.

Second, my next favorite thing was the black eyeliner. When I first watched it on my hand it immediately reminded me of Urban Decay's 24/7 glide on eyeliners. I'm happy to tell you that a week later I still believe that. The color is smooth and highly pigmented. I love that it is a gel eyeliner but in pencil form. This saves me from having to use a brush and getting clumps (I also get chunks with gel eyeliner!) For me it lasts all day and does not smear. At the end of the night it is easy to get off with a makeup wipe. I encourage all of you in need of a new and great eyeliner to check them out!

The face cream is a product I actually turned out loving. I was not sure of it right away but right now I am so tempted to by a full size even at the high price. I have used it every morning since I have received it and I think it has made my skin so soft and it is also refreshing in the morning. Their is a light mint smell and in the morning that wakes me up and leaves my skin completely refreshed I use this product after a cleanse and moisturize my face. I would say check this out if you are in the market for a new and high end face cream because I have definitely seen a difference in my skin with this one.

The next product I'm a little iffy about. It is not my favorite dry shampoo but it is also not a horrible product either. One downside that this product has over my favorite, batiste, is that it smells so bad. Over time and with using it, it doesn't have as strong of a smell but right away it was awful. The plus side is that it does not leave any white residue but at the same time I don't think it soaks up all the oil and it actually seemed to leave my hair staticky. This product would be a pass from me, their are some better dry shampoos out there and for half the price. 

---------------



The final products I like half of it and I didn't like half of it. The two lip gloss samples I liked. I de-potted them and they are smooth and not in any way sticky. They are not opaque but I don't mind that they still have a nice color pay off. They last long on the lips and do not need to be touched up all the time. The lip primer in ozone on the other hand felt like all I was doing was rubbing wax on my lips and it leaves them looking completely gross. If you have used this product and liked it tell me below how you used it because, I swear, I have to be doing something wrong.

What's In My Ipsy Bag || November

Hi Everyone!

Today I am going to be sharing with you what I received in my November Ipsy bag and my first impression on each of the products. Let me know in the comments if you get Ipsy and if we got any of the same things or what you may have received instead. 

Let's Get Started!


Forever 21 by Ipsy Glitter Makeup Bag
The bag is not my favorite this month. Don't get me wrong I think it is cute but I could also see my little cousin using it as her first makeup bag. 

Nicole by O.P.I Nail Polish in Guys & Galaxies
I don't mind this nail polish. It is just solid glitter but I can always use just a nice glitter nail polish to do accent nails along with it is perfect for the upcoming holiday season where I like sparkles. 

L.A. Colors Chunky Lip Pencil in Wine
This is my favorite thing in the bag. It is not a color I would typically use in fall. It is much more of a spring color as it is a bright berry but I love the product. It is super creamy and light and the color itself is pretty. 

Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE eyeliner in glitterati
The eyeliner is also not a bad product. I don't typically use liquid liner and this one also has glitter in it but I believe it could be fun to try out.

Demeter pixie dust roll on perfume oil
By far my least favorite thing I have ever received in an Ipsy Bag. It reminds me of the glitter roll ons that you get as a child. That is what it smells like it is not something that I would ever wear and it leaves behind a residue that I would not want on my skin all day. 

Temptu S/B Highlighter in Pink Pearl
This is not bad either it is just a basic highlighter that I will use. It reminds me a lot of the Benefit one which I really like. 

Overall I would say it was a good bag as most of the products are full size. I also like 4 out of the 5 products which is great!I would say the theme was glitter and pink which I don't mind either!

Thank you so much for taking a look and reading!
