They only ship to 48 U.S. states. (They don't ship to Hawaii or Alaska yet.)

1. Previse Nutrify Skin Type 1-6 Universal Tonic - FULL SIZE! Value $48

This is a OIL-FREE (I didn't realize this) tonic with daisy flower extract and hyaluronic acid that helps to reduce redness, swelling, and brighten and whiten skin! This doesn't have a smell which is good for having it on my sensitive skin. I've tried it twice since getting it and I really enjoy it. 

The directions say specifically to use the dropper to put 5 drops on your fingertips and rub them together quickly to warm it before applying it first to the top of your face then another five drops for the bottom half of your face. It soaks into your hands pretty quickly so don't rub them together too long.

Of course.. I doubt I'd ever repurchase a face serum like this at $48 a POP! WHEWWWW. I didn't want to wash it off my HANDS because it felt like I was washing off gold. Ha ha. Dramatic? Maybe... but true 'nuff.

2. Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo Spray - 1.2 oz Value $9 (comes out white)

I noticed that other people were getting other Oscar Blandi products in their boxes! Dry shampoos can never combat the oil in my hair but I'll give this one a go. I have heard of Oscar Blandi products but it has been years since I've seen or used them. I wonder if this is their come back attempt! I would have preferred to get the mousse I see others have received. Since, I have naturally uber wavy hair that I LOVE using mousse in.

3. OFRA Eyeliner in "Coffee Bean" - FULL SIZE! Value $13

Love this! First Ofra is one of my absolute favorite companies so I'm glad to try something else of theirs. I own like 6 colors of eyeliner and I've never bought a brown for myself. I have to say I like how light and dark I can make it and it isn't too sharp for my eyelid. Just soft enough!

4. LVX Nail Lacquer in "Lemondrop" - FULL SIZE! Value $16

First layer

Second layer

Third layer

 I was excited that I got the lemon-drop shade of polish. I'm not impressed with this formula even though it has a large purchase price. It took three coats (I've never had to do three) to get coverage and I'm not sure if you can tell by the third layer picture it is STILL patchy. I'll keep this to use for designs though. There were two other shades that charmers received (Mynt and Deco)

5. Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint in "Charmed" - FULL SIZE! Value $24

 Before and after on my lips

Also, it came with this 20% off coupon in the box!

SWEET! I love Tarte. I'm excited for the coupon too. I like this pink for Spring and I don't own any of their lip crayons (there are 12 shades.) It has a minty flavor that is subtle once on the lips. 

Total spent for the bag: $21

Total bag is worth: $110

Total saved: $89

That is a win!

Thank you so much for following along.

♥ 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
