Ipsy January 2014 Bag

20140120_132558

This month was a pretty cute bag for ipsy (–it is actually written with a lowercase “i”). 🙂 The outside of the bag is a rough, textured, plastic-y fabric that displays little bottles of perfume, shampoo, conditioner,  lotions, etc.

The contents of the bag were of an average excitement level for me. There were 5 products; one of which was full-sized, and the others were samples. Good-sized samples!

  • The sample of HealthSexyHair is a great detangler, and it smells nice, too.
  • I am really impressed with the MICA lip balm in Natural. It is the perfect shade for most women, I think. It gives you a nice, even color but is natural-looking enough that nobody knows you are wearing lip color. The formula is nice and smooth, but I still add a little chapstick on top for moisture.
  • I haven’t tried the proactiv+ packets yet, but I am excited to give them a whirl. I used proactiv before my wedding–just as proactive zit solution during a great time of stress–and was super happy with it. Proactiv did a great job at not drying out my skin and kept my skin clear the whole month leading up to my wedding. Just a note…I only used proactiv once a day instead of the recommended two times. I thought it did perfectly fine with only once a day. Why dry out my skin if it’s not necessary?
  • The Elizabeth Mott smooth pencil is a creamy eyeshadow pencil that acts as an eyeliner if you ask me. It is a beautiful color, called Pearl, and it shimmers. I think it looks great paired with black mascara and a line of it on the top eyelid.
  • I have not tried the purifying exfoliant by Epice, but I am pretty sure I will like it. I am a big fan of using exfoliants when I shower. I feel like they scrub out the dirty oils on my face. I don’t have any oily skin issues, but you know how it is after a long day at work. Sometimes you just feel greasy.

Overall, this month’s bag was a 3/5 for me. Not terrible, not super impressed, not bad though.
