This months Ipsy Bag arrived for me on my birthday, so it was absolutely perfect timing! Not to mention, Ipsy has been stepping up their game recently in my opinion. Cue their
redesigned website that makes it SO much easier to navigate! I'll cut to the chase here, but I do just want to say I'm so pleased with Ipsy lately and I'm glad they're improving!
Ipsy is NOT paying me to write this review, nor are they sponsoring it. This review is based on my honest opinion, and that's what I'll be giving. Keep in mind as well that these are 5 of a large variety of products that Ipsy sent out this month, and that all bags may differ.
I received the following in my February Glam Bag:
I love this product. I'm just now starting to formulate a skin care regimen that is working for me (I got my first wrinkle at 19--No really!-- so I need to step up my skincare game). Now you may be skeptical about applying OIL to your face, but trust me, the Mitchell and Peach Face Oil makes my skin so much brighter. I just apply it alone or under my moisturizer before I go to sleep and my skin looks refreshed when I wake up! LOVE this product!
Subscribers receiving the ModelCo blush in their Glam bag received one of 2 shades. Peach Bellini or Cosmopolitan. I received the shade Cosmopolitan, and while I was hoping to get the Peach Bellini (obviously, right? I know, I'm pretty transparent), I'm actually pretty pleased with this blush! It's subtle enough that I don't look like a clown when I don it, but buildable for those days that I need some extra colour. And the packaging is super cute, so there's that ;)
Now, this may not be a fair review as I've not really used this product more than a couple times, but when it comes to the Up All Night Volumizing Spray... Meh. It says its purpose is to "add life and volume" to hair... I just don't see it. I didn't really experience a difference, as I do when I use the 450
ยบ Blow Out spray I received in a bag I got a few months ago by Style Sexy Hair. In the words (or word, rather) of my little H... Sowwy!
Let me begin by saying I loved this product's formula... but the hot pink lip, guys. The hot pink lip is NOT my look. I keep receiving hot pink lip colors and I keep trying to wear them, and I keep ending up looking like what I refer to as a "lady of the night". Not a good shade for my fair complexion, but again the formula of the Creamy Lip Stain is amazing. It goes on quite matte and, well,
creamy and it is actually pretty lasting. It didn't work on me, but it looks great on my mom!
This eyelash curler is actually a pretty good makeup tool, especially considering the fact that my eyelash curler recently kicked the bucket. Ummmm also it is $25 DOLLARS full retail, so I was so excited to get this! I don't have much to say about this product, it's sturdy and it gets the job done without pulling my eyelashes out and killing me to death, and my eyelashes keep the curl longer. *borat voice* Verrry nice. ;)
That's it for my bag this month, as I said I'm really excited to see what other changes are in store for Ipsy!

I've been ~kinda~ wanting to try ipsy. Which is better, Ipsy or Birchbox? I had a BB subscription back in the day :)
ReplyDeleteI actually should be receiving my first Birchbox this week, so I'll keep you posted, but I do LOVE Ipsy! I think it's amazing if you want more makeup products, whereas Birchbox is more focused on Skin/Hair/Home products. I *feel* like you would like ipsy more, since I see you reviewing lots of makeup. :)
