What's In My Ipsy Bag! Feb. 2014

So, this was my first month with Ipsy/MyGlam and I was very impressed. I told myself not to look to see what I was getting, but I couldn't resist (although I didn't no what colors to expect) For those that don't know about Ipsy, it's a 10 dollar a month subscription where you will receive 4-5 makeup items in a makeup bag every month. You can log into your account and see what you'll be receiving after they have revealed what's in the bag for the month.

So anyway, I wanted to share with you what I received.

A bright pink bag with animal print in the interior. 

Okay, the first thing I pulled out of it was a FULL SIZE Zoya nail polish in the color Odette. Retail Price $9.00

 

I was so happy I got this one because the other color they were sending out was a very light/sheer pink color.

 

I've had this polish on for 4 days and it's still in good shape.

 

   Next is the POPBeauty Plump Pout Liquid Lip Stain in Fuchsia Freesia 4g

Retail Price $16.00 for 8.5g

 

 

I really like this... only bad thing I could say is the smell is a little funky but that only lasts a minute.

 

 

City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon Retail $2.99

 

 

Pictures won't even do this product justice. I am INLOVE with this blush. It's so pigmented and pretty! I was so happy to get this color rather than the others because this one goes so well with my complexion! Can't wait to try the others using the coupons!

 

Next is the JCat Beauty Lashes retail $3.99

 

 

I liked them, they're not really any different than other brands except I HATED the glue they came with.

Very messy and runny. Other than that I would purchase them again, I would just buy a different glue.

 

Now the last thing I got.

 

Skyn Iceland Fresh Start Mask retail $39.00 for 6 pack

 

 

We received a one time use pack. Its 2 steps with step one being the Blue Clay Ice Age Mud and step 2 being the Activating Gel. I used this the other night and I really enjoyed it. It left my face looking and feeling great and I actually have enough left in the pack for maybe 2 more uses.

 

That's all I received this month and all in all in was really nice. Also when you add it all up you can see it really is worth it. The nail polish alone basically pays for the bag leaving everything else free. I can't wait to see what's in next months bag!!!

Review: Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation + Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder

This is a quick review of a couple new items I picked up at the drugstore and walmart.

First is the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation                                                                      

This is new from Rimmel. I found this at walmart for around 5 dollars which is a great price so I had to try it out.

It's a liquid mousse consistency and they claim its lightweight and wont leave you feeling greasy.

So, I have used this a number of times and I loooove it. Honestly this is the best foundation I have ever used.

It's completely full coverage and true to name because it does stay matte all day. Also, blends well. Now, I don't have oily or really dry skin so keep that in mind. I would say if you have dry skin, it might show some dry patches but I don't know for sure.

       I got the shade light ivory and it was perfect for me. The Rimmel site says there are 8 different shades.

The packaging is nice. No pump but since it isn't runny it doesn't shoot out quickly. Easy for travel.

They have a stay matte primer but I didn't get it but since I looove this so much, I think ill grab it next time I'm out.

Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder

 This is also a new product and I think I am addicted to it!

Okay, first off it is soo soft and smooth to the touch and not to powdery (which is great).

I was really surprised while applying this because it is almost a full coverage powder. I have even worn It without a foundation. I used a primer and this and my skin looked flawless.
It also doesn't leave your face looking cakey. As far as the wear goes, it looked great all day and didn't leave my face looking oily or shiny.

     The packaging is pretty standard for a powder. The powder is on the top and then you flip it over to get the sponge and mirror.

 I think it's my new go to/favorite powder.

It retails for 9 dollars and it comes in about 15 shades.

LUSH Reviews!

How pretty is this! This is the hello gorgeous gift set from LUSH. Probably one of the most popular sets they have.
This set comes with.....

Gorgeous Moisturizer

"The ultimate moisturiser packed with the the very best ingredients to revive and brighten."

This is the most expensive face cream they have. It's really incredible. I have only used it a couple days and my face feels so smooth.


The set comes with a sample size, which you could get a lot of uses out of it because it doesn't take much to apply to your face.




Think Pink Bath Bomb

        
"A relaxing pink bath bomb with a sweet vanilla and tonka fragrance"

So.... I just used this! lol and the smell isn't strong like all the others I've tried but its really nice. It's a really vibrant pink color when you drop it. As a little surprise, it has rice paper confetti hearts that slowly melt away.












Comforter Bubble Bar

"A bathtime blend of fruity essential oils to wrap you up in a big comforting hug."

One of my favorites! blackcurrant and bergamot, it's really fruity and the smell lingers a long time after your out. It gives lots of bubbles and you don't need much to achieve it.

This is the largest bubble bar they have , you could easily get about 7 uses out of it.









Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

"An exfoliating shower scrub that can also be used to wash and add shine and volume to hair."

I have been wanting to try this forever. It's lathers up a lot and I like that because most scrubs don't lather. It smells of mimosa absolute, jasmine absolute and oil, and orange blossom.

I used it as a foot scrub too!






Vanilla Dee-lite Body Lotion

"A light and fruity lotion to leave a soft and lingering loveliness about you all day"

This turned out to my favorite thing in the box! I'm not always a lotion person, mainly because I don't like the greasy feeling that it leaves but THIS.... Is AMAZING. As soon as you rub it on, it sinks into your skin and you feel sooo soft. I used this on my arms when I first got it and 5 hours later I still smelled it on me.
Here's what the site says about it..."Cocoa butter, illipe butter, extra virgin coconut oil and tamanu oil feed the skin, while Fair Trade vanilla absolute gives it its sweet scent"



With this order I also got a Pop In the Bath Bubble Bar, Dorothy Bubble Bar and the Prince Charming Shower Gel. I might be doing a future review on the shower gel.

Samples: British Nanny Moisturizer, Sexy Peel Soap, Dirty Soap, Karma Soap.

LOOOOOVE the sexy peel and dirty! I think ill give the Karma away...not a fan of patchouli.

Thanks for stopping by!
