♥ March Ipsy Unboxing + February Review ♥

MARCH IPSY UNBOXING

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

1. Coolway Glow Finishing Oil Treatment - Sample approz 1oz $9.98 (Full size 3.3oz $29.95)

I love this little sample! It smells like a sweet soap though so I'm not sure how much I'll love it once it's in my hair. It smells like the inside of a lotion store. The website says that it leaves a full, shiny, finished look as a last step in my hair care regimen. It has Porphyra seaweed extract (for nourishment/hydration) which.. sounds good right? Ha ha. No formaldehyde. No lye. No sulfates (great for color treated hair). No parabens. No phthalates. No sodium chloride. Alcohol free. I can't wait to use this.

2. Pūr~lisse pur-delicate gentle soy milk cleanser & makeup remover - Sample 1oz approx $6.55 (Full size 5.6oz $36)

I have to admit that when I saw pur-lisse I was a little disappointed but that turned around quick! I like their lotion but getting it in a ton of bags wasn't exciting. This is a makeup remover though! I'm so excited about this. It has a soap smell that I like and I'm looking forward to using it.

3. Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow in "Fifty Shades" 1.2g $22.50 Full Size

A grey eyeshadow! I love the light shimmer in this 100% natural loose powder! Cruelty free. It builds well on my hand at least. Oh! Also, it is my first wet OR dry shadow.

4. Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil Full Size $18

I saw a sneak peek of this item and I wasn't that into it. After getting it though I'm excited about it. This pencil is super smooth and while I haven't tried it as a highlight I did use it to line my water line. I really like it for that so far. Plus I ADORE the company name and packaging. Ha ha.

5. NYX Butter Lipstick in "Pops" Full Size $6 

Here is a before and after of the product:

Super excited about this lipstick! I have a NYX Butter Lipstick in "Taffy" already. There are 22 shades available. The name is perfect. It is buttery but doesn't last. Not surprised though because of the buttery texture. I think it is my new favorite nude shade though.

Total spent for the bag: $10

Total bag is worth: $63.03

Total saved: $53.03

That is a win!

Thank you so much for following along.

♥December Ipsy Unboxing 2014 + 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

1. Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry Balm 0.5oz $2.90 (Full size is 5oz for $20)

This is a heat protecting styling balm that helps smooth and straighten your hair while blow drying. It says the effects last up to three days. This particular formula is for curly, thick, coarse, frizzy, unmanageable, or unruly hair. Which... is pretty much the definition of my hair. I'm looking forward to using this if it works!

2. Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-1 mascara 3ML $8.50 (Full Size is 7ml $20)

I'm IN LOVE with this mascara already. I tried it out in my video (you can find that at the bottom of this post.) I've NEVER had a mascara hold my lashes in a curl for more than five minutes. I'm not even joking! This mascara HELD THEM UP. I'm shocked. I didn't want to take it off. Magic.

3. Crown Deluxe Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush $6.99 (marked down from $17.50) FULL SIZE!

I haven't tried this yet and it is my first double sided brush. I've already caught myself trying to stick it in the cup with my other brushes. Which.. I don't want to do because the end pointed down will get nasty/crushed. So, already there is a con to it. I like the smaller end (for crease) so I think I'll use it for that most. I'll get back to you on whether I like this brush. I'm glad it is in the bag though!

4. NYX Butter Lip Balm in "Ladyfingers" $4

 BEFORE:

 AFTER:

I love this! I'm a NYX and tinted lip balm fan though. I love the subtle pop of pink color and it isn't waxy at all. I with the shape wasn't a flat top but it went on smooth. This will be going in my purse!

5. Cailyn Cosmetics Just Mineral Eye Polish - 005 "Orchid" $15 FULL SIZE!

I LOVE THIS! Check out these cool things you can do with this down below. I love the color, the color payoff, and the blendability. Plus, I want to try to make it into a lipcolor, nail polish, gold mascara, and eye liner too! Ha ha.

Total spent for the bag: $10

Total bag is worth: $37.39

Total saved: $27.39

That is a win! Almost worth 4x what I paid for it and full of exciting things. December is for sure my favorite bag. Although.. it is my least favorite physical bag. The bag is just black with a pink ipsy tag. I would have expected more for a Christmas bag! 

Here is the video unboxing of this bag! Watch this to see the review of November's Ipsy bag!
