♥ December Ipsy Unboxing + November Review ♥

♥ December Ipsy Unboxing + November Review ♥


Ipsy is a monthly subscription box for makeup products.
I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D
Cost: $10 per month
They ship to the U.S., and Canada

There is a wide variety of options for Ipsy bags. You take a quiz when you first sign up (this can be retaken as many times as you like). This effects what is in your bag each month. 

Each time you get a bag you have the option of reviewing the items you received. I've found that this is the best way to effect what you get in your bag each month. The more reviews you complete the more likely you are to like your bags. 

Here is my referral link





Hold the phone… are you SEEING this bag? I'm OBSESSSSED with this bag. Straight into my purse. It is soooo beautiful. I'm not even a RED bag carrying kind of person. My purse is army green with patches… and now this gorgeous RED quilted makeup bag is inside. I loveeee the shape of this bag too! Merry Christmas INDEED.






I have a finishing powder that I use right now but it I don't notice it helping in any way. Hopefully, this one does! I put some on the back of my hand after opening it and noticed that the area was SUPERRR soft matte feeling. I have high hopes for this.

This is translucent and supposed to keep makeup in place and diffuse imperfections on the face. I hope it does that!  





Another "honey" item. If you follow me you know I've gotten a bunch of Honey products that smell nothing like honey. This one. DOESSSSSS. Smells SO GOOD. I can't wait to try it. It is a mask that you let soak in for 20 minutes then you "rub in the excess" but.. I have oily skin. Haha. That sounds like a nightmare. It says not to wipe it off but I think I'll use this sparingly.

The website says:
"A super-hydrating mask to relieve stressed skin that has been over-exposed to environmental pollutants and nature's harsh elements. Specially blended with propolis extract, natural honey, nourishing minerals and vitamins, this mask revitalizes the skin's texture with deep-penetrating nutrients. Paraben-free"







How interesting! Lip AND hand? Ha ha I've never used something meant for both. This smells amazing, like vanilla sugar cookies.

Exfoliates, hydrates, nourishes, and all natural ingredients. Vit E, jojoba oil, shea and cocoa butters and plant extracts. Vanilla bean and strawberry. Tastes and smells good supposedly. Paraben free. Petrochemical free. No artificial ingredients. Vegan.












This is a creamy matte formula. I like the natural color I got, a lot. It is matte but not drying. It just feels like… a mix between a satin lipstick and a matte one. I'm not used to being able to rub my lips together with a matte.

When you buy one of these lipsticks Pacifica donates one to a woman in need. #poweroflove
"Super power natural lipstick. 
Wearable satin finish shades with incredible lasting color. 
Recyclable container. 
100% vegan and cruelty-free.
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT TARGET"





It's described on the website as a "deep magenta frost" lucky I didn't pick this up at Rite Aid while I was there! I had my eye on it.

This is the full size it just isn't her signature square bottle! Both this and the square are 0.35fl oz though.

This is a beautiful color and I only did ONE COAT. I adore JulieG she is one of the Youtubers I watch regularly. If you don't watch her beauty/nail channel or her vlog channel, YOU MUST! I have a bunch of her nail products already (jet top coat/matte top coat/base etc haha)

Total spent for the bag: $10
Total bag is worth: $51.73
Total saved: $41.73

That is a win! I think this is my favorite bag ever! Not in products necessarily but the bag itself is GORGEOUS.  I'm glad I got the finishing powder, polish, lipstick, and hand/lip wash. The only meh item is the face mask lotion but the SMELL is divine so I'll be using it nightly and it will last me FOREVER! YAY!




Didn't need another copper highlight gel but this one quickly became my favorite. It has the besttt sweet smell that you can't smell once its' on. Just a delight to use.


I still don't trust this stuff. I don't really have a need of it right now but I used it for a couple weeks. I didn't notice THAT much of a difference.. It does soften. Maybe more long term use will get better results?


Love Love Love this mascara. It went right into my makeup bag. I used it all month and ADORED it. I wish it was full size. I don't know about $22 for a mascara… when I do LIKE some drug store mascaras. I was glad to get it though!


I was kind of disappointed in this. I have a matte red lip crayon from elf that is identical. I can't imagine spending $11 on a mini when I can get a HUGE elf one. Not worth the price for me.

 This shadow really surprised me. I wasn't expecting much from a brand I haven't heard of before. I was wrong though. This little shadow packs a pretty punch on the eye. Especially since I do a lottttt of natural looks. This is great on the lid and is my go-to color right now. Love that shine.


Thank you so much for following along.
