January 2018 Ipsy Bag

My January 2018 Ipsy Bag

Yes, that is a candle holding up my bag. LOL..Now I will say I actually had a good bag this month. A lot of the time I’m just underwhelmed with the bag. Usually I’ll like 1 or 2 products and maybe the bag. But every now and then I’ll get a great bag. I was happy with my bag this month! Finally!! I told myself if I wasn’t happy with this month’s bag I was going to cancel it. So as of now, I won’t cancel it just yet. Ipsy is a monthly subscription that is $10 a month. Each month you will get a different bag filled with 5 samples to deluxe size products. Once in a while there will be a full size product. For example, this month I got a full size NYX lip product and a nail polish. Any time they put a nail polish it is usually always full size. Not everyone will get the same products as you. They go by your profile. But honestly I don’t feel like they follow that. Like I said before sometimes I get a bag filled with products that I’m not happy about and only finding myself liking 1 or 2 items.. I will say that I 95% of the time love the actual bags. The bags are always so cute, and I love switching out my cosmetic bags in my handbag. I will provide a link below if you want to sign up. Also I will provide the links if you would like to get your hands on a certain product as well. Each product will have several links so you can buy any place you would like to, and if any of them has a cheaper price.

The bag – It’s so cute! It’s so bright and sporty. This is a perfect spring / summer bag! The inside is also the highlighter yellow color as well.

So here’s what I got. 

Pretty Woman nail polish in Johnny’s Angel – a beautiful bright blue (full size) – Haven’t use yet, but I have used other colors, and I do like these. They apply nicely. On me they don’t chip right away. But after a few days it does start to chip, but I do use my hands a lot. I also wash my hands a lot as well.

Trust Fund Beauty Lipgasm lip balm scrub (exfoliant) – I haven’t used this yet because I already have 2 lip scrubs that I’m currently using.

The Balm Mary Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer (sample size) – I used this for the first time the other day, and I love it! It’s so pretty on the skin, and applied beautifully! It gave me a natural glow, but it is buildable if you want a BAM glow. It didn’t emphasize any texture or pores on my skin. It didn’t look glittery either. There isn’t any glitter in this. Just a beautiful shimmer.

NYX Lingerie liquid lipstick in Satin Ribbon (full size) – I did use this the other day, and not too crazy about it. I know some people love it, and some don’t. First off, the color washes me out. Meaning it makes me look dead. LOL. It apply kind of patchy as well. It is a pretty color. But I do hear that the darker neutral shades aren’t patchy. This is just what I’ve heard. This is dried down very quickly after applying, and didn’t see any transfer when I did a transfer test. But this is so sticky when I press my lips together (more sticky than the Kat Von D ones – which I love). Plus it was so drying one me. This just isn’t for me. I much prefer the NYX Liquid Seude cream lipstick, as they are much more comfortable on the lips.
