My Ipsy March 2014 Preview (Glam Room)

So this is what I am getting in my March bag!!! I love how pretty the bag is in the picture and I got everything I wanted except the body lotion but I guess that is fine since I got the body lotion the last time. So here is a breakdown of what the value of my bag is, enjoy! (I have links for the products at the end of this page as well as my Ipsy link if anyone is interested in joining Ipsy)

• .       The bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready: The full size of this is $18 and this is probably half of that so $9. The swatch of the color seems a little dark on their website but I think I will like it and the lipstick has great reviews.
• 
  
• .       Nicole by OPI Roughles in On What Grounds?: These are limited edition and full sized I think. They cost $7.99 and I love the turquoise blue. It will go well with all my blue handbags and jewelries!
• .       The Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer: The original mini (30ml) is $9 and this is about 12 ml so I would go with $4. I am not too excited about this since I already have my primer that I like. I will try to trade this or give it to someone.
• 
  
• .       The last item and the one I am most excited about is the Be a Bombshell Eye Shadow Quad in Bora Bora. I was using a bunch of neutrals over winter so this will be a great palette for Spring/Summer and I love the colors. The retail of this item is $16 and I think it is a full sized product.

So I am getting products worth $37 for the $10 I paid, which almost 4 times what I paid for the bag and I don’t like one item in the bag but I will probably still be using the primer (since you can’t ever have enough primer!) or if it is a decent size give it away as a present. I love the little bag that the products are coming in (love the design) and I can always use it for something! I love Ipsy!!! Can’t wait for it to get here!!!

February Ipsy Bag Review!

So this was my first IPSY bag and I was super impatient and excited to get this bag!!!

I jumped with joy when I saw this pink little package in my mailbox!  for those of you who don't know what IPSY is, it is a $10 monthly makeup subscription and they usually send out 4-5 deluxe size samples (usually one or two of the products are full size)... It is a great subscription bag for $10 and the value of the bag is usually a lot higher than the $10 you pay for it. So I have my link posted at the end of this post, please use my link if you plan to join Ipsy! 

I am usually not a fan of pink but I thought this bag was super cute because of how simple it is - like love!

The inside is pretty but like I said I love the simple outside and I am currently using the bag for all my eyeliner pencils!

 So these are all the products I received in the February Bag - Zoya Nail Paint in Odette, Pop Beauty Lip Gloss in Fushia Freesia, Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava Body Butter, Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow in Spiced Rum and J. Cat Beauty Eyelashes! 

z

I love the body butter, it smells delicious and I have used half of it already and carry it with me everywhere! I love it more than anything else in my bag, I wouldn't mind the coconut one in my March bag!!! The retail value of this is - $7 (25 oz) 

I love nail paints and this is a beautiful color. I love the purple, I do need to apply a few coats of the color but I love it nonetheless. Retail Value of this is - $9

This is a full size cream eye-shadow (Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow in Spiced Rum) in a beautiful copper color. It looks beautiful on my tan complexion and I love the feel of it. The retail value of this is - $18

I love the texture and feel of this lip gloss but I don't like the color they sent me (Fushia Freesia). I think it is too pink . I wish I had gotten the other color since it was darker and would have suited my skin tone better. If I hadn't opened it already I would probably just give it away. I guess I could try applying it really lightly and see how that turns out. Retail value for the full size is $16, so this should be about $8.

The last item in my bag was the Eyelashes and I don't care much for them but I don't know who could I give these to, so I might try it on for a night out or a party or something! I wish I had gotten something else though. This is the only thing in my bag I don't really like. Retail value of this - $3 (if I remember correctly)

Yea or Nay - For $10 I got products worth $45, granted I don't care for the eyelashes and the color of the gloss, I will still be using the gloss a little and I love everything else so definitely a YEA!!! So for me it is a good bag, hopefully March is better!!!
