☆February ipsy Glam Bag☆

         For a while now I've been subscribe to ipsy's (https://www.ipsy.com/) Glam Bag. It's one of the more affordable monthly beauty bags for $10 a month (with free shipping)! Every month you'll be delivered around 5 products, some full sized and some sample sized. As far as I can tell, I normally get a few things that are different from my friends who are fellow subscribers. You get a chance to personalize it with a little "about me" quiz. To personalize your bag even more, you can review the products you get and let them know whether or not you'd like to receive that product or something similar again in a future bag. The bags that the products come in are also really cute. It's almost kind of ridiculous how the number of bags add up. I don't even know what to do with all of them!

This is the Glam Bag for February 2016. This bag is probably, by far, one of my favorites. It looks like a pixelated envelope with a nice heart right in the middle. Pretty retro. I know we're well into February now but I wanted to start with this bag anyways as a test post. 

$5.97 at Target

         The largest item I've ever received from ipsy is this OGX Quenching Coconut Curls Hair Butter. I've been using this everyday since I got it but not for my hair. I found out that you can actually use it for your skin. Right before I started using this, my skin was as dry as a desert (winter, why must you play me like this?). My cheeks, forehead and nose have been problem areas but this really did the trick. I don't recommend it for long term use though because the coconut oil may cause your skin to break out occasionally. As a skin treatment, though, it does the trick. *Does not test on animals.

$15.00 at Trust Fund Beauty's Website.
Color: I'm Kind of a Big Deal

         It seems like ipsy has been putting many of these Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polishes in their bags. I'm not complaining though. They colors are to my taste but I have yet to actually give myself a chance to see it's full staying power. Regardless, my nail polish tends to chip in a day or two on my natural nails, so I suppose it doesn't mean much! Anyways, these polishes are quite pigmented and if I ever have acrylics on, I'd love to use this color. *Vegan and cruelty free.

$21.00 on Amazon.com
Color: Pink Sequin

         I've never heard of Vintage By Jessica Liebskind but the lipgloss I received looks REALLY beautiful. It's a light pink with gold shimmer. I'm not too into lipglosses honestly. I prefer a matte or at least a less shiny finish. What I do like is the brush tip. It goes on really smoothly and effortlessly.

Shade: SN-02

          This Mica Pigment by naked cosmetics is a coppery-bronze loose eye shadow. I think it'll be a great, versatile color that can go with many looks. I can imagine the fallout though. When I opened it the shadow fell all over the place! Did I mention the packaging is really cute?

$42 at Sephora.com

          I got a tiny sample of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil. It's really perfect because my skin is so dry. I used it once so far but my make up seemed to sit on my skin more nicely with my dryness becoming less noticeable. Depending on your skin type, you might want to stay away from this (if you have oily skin) as you'll probably need to blot all day long. Even with dry skin I'd need to dab my skin with a paper towel just to remove some of the excess oil. *Cruelty free

That's it for the contents of February's Glam Bag. Price-wise you get your money's worth (Some of the prices are for full-sized products even though I got the sample sizes but the products that ARE full size already make the bag worth more than the $10 cost)! Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed it and will continue to follow me and help me grow. There'll be more to come soon! :)
