My 1st Ipsy Bag: Review

Hi friends! It's been forever since I've done a blog post. I'd like to jump back in with a review of my 1st Ipsy bag. If you are not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription where they send you 4-5 deluxe -sized samples or some full size beauty (makeup, skincare, haircare and nail nailcare) products in a cute makeup bag. The subscription costs only $10 a month. It's a great way to try out products without having to buy the full size. Click the link below if you are interested in signing up. There may be a waiting list so I would suggest signing up soon. I think I had to wait about a month to get my first bag.

If I were to buy all of these products individulally it would cost me about $70. So $10 is a great deal to try out new products. This months bag included:

• Nailtini Nail Laquer in Champagne-Full Size
• bhcosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow in Sun-Sample Size
• Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in Shameless-Full Size
• Pixi Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched-Sample Size(large sample)
• em Lash Gallery Mascara in Black-Full size (em is Michelle Phan's new makeup line. She also the one who created Ipsy).

Nailtini in Champagne. Beautiful color and long wearing. I've had it on my nails for almost 5 days and no chipping. 

bhcosmetics Baked Eyeshadow in Sun. Such a beautiful color. It's a warm gold with a little red intertwined. Super pigmented and you can apply these shadows either wet or dry. I was so impressed that I ordered the whole palette. 

Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in Shameless. Very pretty berry/wine color with slight shimmer. Very long wearing and a great color for Fall/Winter. 

Pixi Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched. Pretty natural color. This bronzer is very light. I'm pretty fair skinned and I don't think I can bronze with this, it's just too light to really bronze my face but I have liked using it as a natural blush. 

em Lash Gallery Mascara in Black. This a volumizing mascara. I really liked it. It gave me great volume, didn't flake and separated my lashed nicely. 

Overall I'm very satisfied with my first bag and am excited about future bags.

Maybelline Cosmetics

I absolutely LOVE Maybelline cosmetics. It is my trusted "go to" drugstore brand for cosmetics. They have amazing products and they keep coming out with new and exciting makeup. I just wanted to share a couple things that I've picked up lately that I've been loving.:)

Instant Age Rewind Foundation in Creamy Ivory: Love this formula. It's very creamy and goes on silky and is very easy to blend. I like the packaging, but I don't use the little sponge on my face. I will twist up the product and then put it on the back of my hand then use a brush to blend. I would say this foundation is a light to medium coverage that is buildable. 

Instant Age Rewind Dark Spot Concealer in Fair: This is their newest concealer, the dark spot treatment. I don't really have any under eye dark spots but I do have some acne scaring and some red spots from previous acne, this stuff covers any spots very well. I will use under my eyes to brighten up my face. 

Color Whisper in Lust for Blush: Very pretty light rosy pink. I really like that this feels light on the lips. It's a gel formula so it glides on the lips and feels very hydrating. They have a good size color range of 20 shades.

Color Sensational in On the Mauve: This lip color is very creamy but has more of a feel of a lipstick. I actually like to combine both of these colors. They have a HUGE color range of 68 shades.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to get on the Baby Lips band wagon but I'm so glad I have. I purchased the Peppermint and Pink Punch. I LOVE this lip balm. I can feel after using these for a short time that my lips are softer and more moisturized. The peppermint has no color but the pink punch has baby pink tint to it. And the packaging is so darn cute. They have 6 shades to choose from.
