January Ipsy Glam Bag Review

I must say that my Ipsy Glam Bag is bar far the best thing that I receive in the mail each month. It is always so fun to get some new makeup items to try out in my arsenal!

Nourish Organic: Lightweight Moisturizing Face Lotion- 

Nourish Organic's Lightweight Moisturizing Face Lotion provides continuous moisture throughout the day while replenishing essential skin nutrients. The advanced, non-greasy formula is also rich in vitamins and antioxidants to boost skin's defenses and leave skin healthier and younger-looking every day. 100% Natural. USDA-Certified Organic. Fragrance-Free. Alcohol-Free. Ultra gentle for sensitive skin.

* Moroccan Argan Oil intensely hydrates and replenishes skin
* Rosewater evens out skin tone and smoothes texture
* Shea Butter locks in moisture and improves skin's elasticity.

Size: 0.5 oz

The Verdict- This is great feeling lotion. I love lotions that aren't oily and don't leave a greasy feel behind. If it is greasy then I don't want it. I also like that it is organic and fragrance and alcohol free so it will not irritate my sensitive skin!

Elizabeth Mott: Smooth Shadow- (in pearl)

The ultimate gel pencil that’s smooth like butter and packed with deliciously creamy colors. These velvety pencils glide on with ease, and contain just enough shimmer. They’re also waterproof and perfect to wear all day and night, a must have for all color lovers! Use a cosmetics sharpener for best results.

Size: 0.7 g

The Verdict- I am obsessed with this. It is my FAVORITE thing that I got in this glam bag. They aren't kidding when they say that it perfect to wear all night and day. I tested it on my hand and I washed them multiple times and slept and the next morning it was still there and looking shimmery and wonderful. The color it gorgeous as well. This is something that I will be purchasing after t runs out!

 

Proactiv+: Mark Fading Pads-
The Proactiv+ Mark Fading Pads are a convenient, single-use, no-rinse peel pad that can instantly boost your skin’s glow and radiance. The pads help remove dead skin cells to unclog pores and remove dull layers to reveal newer, smoother, more even toned skin. With just a few quick swipes you can help fade away post acne dark marks, reduce the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores.

4 separately packaged pads.

The Verdict- I am excited to try these. When I was younger I used Proactiv even though I never had acne because I loved the clean feeling that it gave me. It always worked great so I am sure that these will work wonderfully too. I have not had any blemishes to try them on yet but when I get one you can bet your bottom dollar that I am pulling on of these suckers out and using it right away!

Briogeo: Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask-

Repair and treat dry, damaged and breaking hair with Don't Despair, Repair!™ deep conditioning mask. Fortified with ultra-hydrating avocado, sweet almond & argan oils, strengthening keratin protein, power-conditioning rosehip oil, soothing aloe, and super hair-essential vitamins B5, D, A, E and biotin. This unique complex of targeted ingredients helps increase hair elasticity and moisture to prevent breakage, promotes healthy shine and luster, and replenishes strength.

Size: 1.0 oz


The Verdict- This could not have come at a better time! I have recently become addicted to my Hot Tools Deep Waver so my hair has been getting more abuse than it is used to. I have been talking about how I need a deep conditioning treatment so badly, WELL HERE IT IS! I am planning to use to next weekend because this weekend was so busy. I will update with how it goes =)

Mica Beauty: Tinted Lip Balm- (in Fiesta)
MicaBeauty's 24 hour Tinted Lip Balm conditions your lips without smudge while delivering sophisticated finish. For a sheer wash of color, one swipe is all you need. For a bolder pout, simply apply another swipe and this lip balm will create lips every woman covets. Kiss-proof and smudge-proof!

Size: 2.5 g


The Verdict- This feels nice on my lips. I like the product overall but I am not a fan of lip products in pots because it just makes application less convenient. Am I right?! Also, the color isn't great on me. I don't hate it though!

My December Ipsy Glam Bag

First, follow me on Bloglovin or Blogger please!

I was overjoyed to this beautiful pink bubble-mailer when I opened my mailbox on thursday!

This is by far my favorite beauty subscription that I have tried. They are so spot on with their choices of products for me. When you sign up you go to their website and take a quiz about your style and beauty product preferences. You also enter information like your skin color, hair color, eye color and that type of thing. They really try to send products that will be the right ones for you.

Here is what my package looked like when I opened it:

The Glam bag is called that because it is just that a "bag". The products always come with an adorable make up bag. This months it was a black quilted shiny bag. Really cute and will match tons of my purses. 

 I was so excited  to see a make-up brush when I opened the package.

This Mirabella Eye Blender brush is fantastic. I have already been using it and it blends my colors together on my lid wonderfully. The weight of the handle is great, I like a little weight to my brush to make it feel substantial. I am really happy with this brush.

Pop Beauty Eyeshadow Trio in "Smokin' Hot". I love these colors, they are shimmery, which you cannot really tell from the picture. The pigmentations is good and they obviously create a great eye together. I already wore this trio to a girl's night on Friday and loved it.

JulieG Textured Polish in Sugar Plum Fairy. I love the color and I can't wait to use it. I have actually never tried textured polish before. I use a gel polish kit so I don't know when I will get around to using a non-gel polish. Maybe I will take off my gel and try it for a couple days before re-applying my gel polish or something!

J.Cat Beauty- The Big Lip Pencil in Red Rose. I love how hydrating this is, it feels great on, has great pigmentation, stays on a long time, overall I love the products. This color is just really bad for me. I am very pale and this color is WAY too striking on me unfortunately. Even for a red lip this color is just not the right red for me, bummer!

Be A Bombshell: The One Stick - in Girl Crush. This is an awesome product. You can use it on your eyes, cheeks or lips. The color is awesome, the picture doesn't really do it justice. I tried it on my lips and cheeks and I really like it. I applied it to my fingers and rubbed it to make it less tacky before putting on my cheeks. This was a product I was excited to try!

These were all full-size items, not trial size. This bag was awesome and worth way more than $10. I cannot express how thrilled I am with Ipsy. If you would like to check our their website, sign up or whatever here is a link:
