For those of you that don't know, Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription that sends up deluxe and full size samples of mostly makeup products. The cost is $10 per month (free shipping!) and the value of the bag is always more than what you pay for it. I have found so many awesome new products through Ipsy, and I love that they usually send out a lot of full size products!
Now, onto the bag!
How cute is the bright pink bubble wrap?! I love seeing that pink in my mail every month. The bag this month was slightly smaller than usually but it's a little wider. The theme this month was "The Look of Love", sending out products for Valentine's Day. :) This bag may be my favorite one I've received yet, the pink leopard print inside is so cute!!
Now, onto the products! :)
POP Beauty Plump Pout Mini in Peony Petal
The full size of this lip gloss (8.5 g) retails for $16.00, making this 4 g mini valued at around $7.53. I love the sleek look of this gloss, it's a great tube to grab & go. When I first tried this gloss out on my lips, it seems a little darker than what I would normally wear, but it may be a great color for a night out. After applying it, I would call it more of a liquid lipstick over a lip gloss.
Zoya Nail Polish in Dot
This nail polish is FULL SIZE! It retails for $9.00 and is 0.5 oz. This month, Ipsy was sending out this color and also a purple shade. Even though I am receiving a light pink shade in my Glossybox this month, I was hoping to receive the pink in this bag as well. It looks very sheer in the bottle, but a perfect color for spring. Once I put a coat on, I will update with a picture. I have heard a lot of good things about Zoya, and I am very excited to try this polish out.
City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon
This is another FULL SIZE product! I was very surprised to see that this blush only retails for $2.99! It is very pigmented and a little bit goes a long way. This color is great for my winter skin & blends out nicely. It's a watermelon-like color, so the color name fits nicely. I've been on a huge blush binge lately so seeing this in my bag was very exciting- I'm always down for trying out a new blush!
Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base in One in Ambrosia
This item is also FULL SIZE!! It is 0.14 oz & retails for $18.00!! They were sending out 3 different shades this month, and I was hoping for this shade! The color is amazing, and it holds very well. I had a hard time trying to wash the swatch off of my hand, so this color will definitely stay put! Ipsy & Tini Beauty are offering 50% off any purchase + a free nail polish, so I may need to take advantage of this and order some more shades. :)
IPKN NY Moist & Firm BB Cream
The full size of this product (1.35 oz) retails for $35.00, making this 0.05oz sample valued at around $1.30. This was the item that I was the least excited for. I am not a very huge fan of BB Cream to begin with (I prefer a foundation with medium-full coverage) and to even call this a sample would be generous. When I first squeezed the tube, nothing came out. I had to squeeze and squeeze and finally enough came out to swatch it, but I have a feeling I used up half of the sample already. The shade that Ipsy sent out was "light", but this shade was still too dark for my light skin. It blended out & looked very orange on my skin. It may be better in the summer with a tan on my skin, but for now this sample will be put aside.
Overall, I paid $10.00 for the bag and received $38.82 worth of products! I will use pretty much everything in the bag, and the bag itself will definitely be used. This has been my favorite month of Ipsy so far!
