February Ipsy Bag Review

After over a year of glam bags, I feel like the honeymoon has passed. I recently decided to change my settings to see if I could fall back in love with them. I stopped covering my bags on my channel because it seemed as if I got the same shades and products over and over. I still love the service for what it offers because at the end of the day it is a fantastic deal and I have not had to purchase makeup in a year!!!!

What was in my bag?

Trust Fund Beauty in “Wine O’Clock”: I have tried other products from this company and I really like them. I did not like this color because the red shade chosen is so common, it would have been nice to receive a different color. Also, I saw the same color was sent to pretty much everyone so it wasn’t tailored to my preferences. The only good thing about this situation is if you have been dying to get something from this company then you can find this on the cheap all over eBay!.

Bubble T Cosmetics- Macaroon Lip Balm in Lemongrass and Green Tea: The packaging is adorable and I like that they used essential oils. However, other then the esthetics this does not make me think of a delicious macaroon. There is a very perfume smell/taste to this product. The formula is light and hydrating so that is a plus but when you put it on you can definitely smell and taste this. I am very curious about the other products from this company.

Mellow Cosmetics Precision Liquid Pen Eyeliner in Black: I really like this eyeliner. I have tried a few eyeliners from this company before and they are really hit or miss. I don’t have many positive associations as the last self-sharpening eyeliner was very dry and flew out of the tube when pulling the cap off.  This liquid eyeliner glides on smooth and the felt tip is just the right size. This eyeliner has changed my mind on Mellow Cosmetics… for now.

BLAQ Meteor Shower Body Scrub: I  was really excited to try this one out… until I received an email from Ipsy advising that there have been a lot of complaints with this leaving a film behind on the skin. They suggested that you follow the scrub with an oil to remove any residue. I am including a screenshot of the email below. Unfortunately,  this left a thick residue on my skin. I just can not recommend this one. 

Final Thoughts: I am happy I made some changes to my preferences.  I am not thrilled with all of the items that I received; hopefully, the items I receive in the future are more tailored to my needs. I still love the value that this subscription offers because I get more than $10.00 worth of items which is a score considering I accrue points for other items and there are no hidden fees.
