October 2014 Ipsy

Ipsy’s October theme was beauty candy.  This month wasn’t really a great one for the products, but the makeup bag that they came in is one of my favorites!  It is a teal quilted bag with a side zipper.

I got 5 items this month with a good variety of products.  (But not enough makeup if you ask me…I know, it seems like I say that every month!)

Figs & Rouge Rose Berry Shea Butter Hand Cream $6.56 full size – I don’t have much to say about this since it’s a hand cream and pretty self-explanatory.  It does smell nice and it’s a great size to throw into your purse or keep at work! 

MICA Beauty Mineral Eye Shadow; $14.95 full size in Reluctance – I really like mineral eye shadow, so my only complaint with this is the color.  It’s a very pretty shimmery green, but I don’t usually wear green eye shadow. 

Nourish Organic Moisturizing Organic Face Cleanser with Cucumber and Watercress $13.99 full size, trial size $2.34 – I have to say that I absolutely hate trying new facial cleansers.  There’s just too much of a risk that my skin will hate it and my face’s way of punishing me is breaking out.  I did try this for the sake of the blog but did not like it at all.  It smelled bad.  Like dirt.  Plus I had to wash my face twice to even get all my makeup off. 

Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths; Full Size $15, trial size $5 – I don’t normally use face cleansing cloths.  I always feel like I have to wash my face after I use them anyway, so I don’t really get the point.  But I’ll save these for when I’m travelling.  I could see them coming in handy in the airport! 

Starlooks Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasure; full size $12, trial size $6? – I really didn't like this lip gloss at all.  It was sticky and it went on really goopy so even when I tried to blend it in, I could see streaks on my lips.  If this is what all their lip-glosses are like, I definitely warn you to stay away! 

The total value of the items in my bag this month is $34.85.  It’s not as high as it usually is, but not bad for the $10 I spent!  Although most of the products were a complete dud for me, the cute bag definitely redeemed it!

If you’re interested in trying Ipsy for $10 a month, here’s my referral link! http://www.ipsy.com/r/6b49?sid=ipsypoints&cid=general

I've heard rumors that the holiday bags (November and December) are usually pretty awesome so it may be a great time to give it a shot!!  If you don’t like some of what you end up with, I’m sure they’d make great stocking stuffers and you can still cancel anytime!

Thanks for reading!!
