If January's Ipsy Bag was any indication of what's to come in 2015 I am really looking forward to the rest of my bags this year! There were 5 items, all of which would fall under the full size category and it was a great assortment of products. I think it's pretty fitting that this month's theme was Fresh Start. Here's the breakdown of what I got and what I thought!
Pacifica Eye Shadow in Etheral; Eye Shadow single $3.50 - This is the second Pacifica eye shadow that I've received in an Ipsy bag. My main complaint with these is the packaging. The lid broke off of my first one and unfortunately I think it's just a matter of time before it happens to this one. The eye shadow itself is pretty average, nothing special. This color is a light tan/gray with minimal shimmer so it makes a great base which is how I've been using it. They don't advertise this color on their website, so I'm not sure if it was an Ipsy exclusive or not.
Malin and Goetz Mojito Lip Balm; Full Size $12 - I've said this before and I'll say it again; a girl can never have too many lip balms! I really like the smell of this and it's always good to keep your lips moisturized, especially in the winter! The only complaint I have is it tends to be kind of sticky which is one of my biggest lip balm pet peeves!
Probelle Nail Lacquer in Into the Blue; Full Size $6 - I happen to be somewhat of a nail polish hoarder, but as soon as I saw this color I knew I would not ever use it so I gave it to my sister. Bright blue nail polish is not my thing and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I prefer the more classy colors so bring on the reds and pinks Ipsy! http://www.pro-belle.com/probelle-into-the-blue-nail-lacquer-5-fl-oz-blue-cream-0502/
Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush; Full Size $9.99 - Even though I've already gotten several eye shadow brushes from Ipsy, I was really happy to get this one! The bristles are soft and the brush handle is shorter than most so its a great size for travel. It's also pink which gives it a special place in my heart!
Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner in Jet (Black); Full Size $2.95 - I've not had much luck with liquid liners and unfortunately this one was no different. I had a hard time making a crisp line with this, it was just a mess. I tried using the very tip of the brush but that didn't seem to help me. I admit that my issue is most likely user error! The few times that I did use it, it definitely stayed put until I took it off at the end of the day which is a good thing, except that if you screw it up when applying it makes it really hard to clean up without messing up your eye shadow. Again, I think liquid eyeliner may just not be for me. http://www.coastalscents.com/liquid-eyeliner.html
The total value of all the products in my January bag was $34.44. Each of these products was full size with the exception of the eye shadow which Pacifica does not sell in singles online. I would still consider it a full size as far as eye shadows go. Overall it was a great month for Ipsy and I'm looking forward to getting my February bag in the next few days!
