I finally decided to jump on the Ipsy Bag review train!
Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription service created by famous YouTube star Michelle Phan. For only $10 a month, subscribers receive a cleverly designed cosmetic bag filled with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products.
The month of February was all about love, of course,
and the Glam Bag theme was “The Look of Love;” how adorable! The items I
received in this month’s Ipsy bag were:
Color: Peony
Petal
Full Size:
$16.00 (0.3 oz.)
Size Received:
$1.88 (4 g.)
This plumping pout perfector combines the high-shine
of a lacquered glass with the long wear of a stain and is packed full of
lip-plumping peptides and avocado and jojoba oils. Lightweight, creamy texture
immediately merges with lips and delivers intense glossy color for an extremely
long-lasting finish!
My Thoughts
I loved this gloss! It was extremely moisturizing and
glided on with ease! The color I received was perfect for my complexion and the
size of the mini was adorably convenient! It provided long lasting color and
gave a nice shine to my lips without turning them into a hot mess. I didn’t
really notice any plumping-like qualities, but I still give this product two
thumbs up!
Color:
Odette (light lilac)
Full Size:
$9.00 (0.5 fl. oz.)
Size Received:
$9.00 (0.5 fl. oz.)
This season’s Zoya Nail are full of pure pigment,
intense color and modern complexity that are a perfect transition into Spring.
Odette can be best described as full-coverage, sultry orchid maroon cream.
My Thoughts
When I first opened my bag and saw that famous Zoya
nail polish box I was so excited to finally try Zoya! But my excitement was
quickly deflated when I saw the color. It’s a pleasant tone, but just not for
me. I ended up putting this on eDivv (a beauty swamping website) and am
expecting a nice Ruby Red toned Julep polish in return; my first Julep ever!

This creamy formula glides effortlessly onto the lid
and locks into lower rim to beautifully define your eyes. Create a fine line or
a thicker line with no pulling or tugging. Wear it as a shadow by applying to
the lid and smudge. Rich and full, this liver will give a strong coverage that
lasts all day.
My Thoughts
I was ecstatic to see a Mally Beauty product in this
month’s bag. I’m an avid QVC shopper and love Mally’s
products; especially her bullet-proof eyeliners. I wasn’t too keen on the
color, at first, but after applying it to my waterline I was impressed! It gave
me a nice pop of color and brightened my eyes. I would recommend any Mally
Beauty products; especially her eyeliners. I’m a newb when it comes to makeup
and Mally makes her products fool proof!
Color: Fresh
Melon (coral-like)
Full Size:
$2.99 (8.9 g.)
Size Received:
$2.99 (8.9 g.)
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.
My Thoughts
I was delighted to see that I received a nice
coral-like color. I’ve been dying to see if coral looks good with my skin tone
and it does! I do have to warn those who wish to purchase this blush that a
little goes a loooooooong way. When I first applied this blush I picked up a
LOT of powder on my brush and once I applied it to my face… holy clown-face,
Batman! I had to blend it in like crazy and cover it up with foundation because
it was so pigmented and bright. Now that I know how to properly apply the
blush, it goes on beautifully and lasts all day. I think this compact will last
me years!
Style: EL 15
Full Size:
$3.99 (1 set)
Size Received:
$3.99 (1 set)
Cause a ruckus as you bat your voluminous faux
eyelashes! Each includes an individual eyelash adhesive for endurance through a
night on the town! Eyelash glue is latex free, perfect for sensitive eyes,
lashes can be used up to 10 times, creates the perfect natural look.
My Thoughts
I was born with obnoxiously long eyelashes; don’t get
me wrong, I love them and they’re gorgeous, but when you’re a newbie trying to
apply mascara… things can get a little bit tricky. I’ve now mastered the art of
applying mascara without getting it on my lid, most of the time, but I will
probably never need fake eyelashes. I considered giving this product a try,
just for fun, but figured another girl would get more out of them than I would;
so I listed it on eDivv. I am happy to say that I am expecting a purple twist
tie, one of those fancy knotted hair ties, in exchange.
Cost of Bag:
$10.00
Value of Bag:
$32.86
Overall
This bag definitely had some hits for me, but it also
had a couple of misses. I was really only able to use three out of the five
products, but all three were fantastic! I cannot complain because the value of
the bag was over three times the cost + I received the adorable cosmetic bag;
you can’t argue with that value!
What did you receive in this month’s Ipsy bag? Did you
have any favorites?
