Hey guys long time no post I haven’t had anything new in a while but my boxes for March have started rolling in empties are ramping up so I should have a bunch of post coming at you as we get to the end of the month here.
Look at all that stuff!
Initially I thought this bag was cool but just way to pretty and girly for my tastes. Now Ive decided this bag is cool and I’ll use it but it is definitely way to girly and prissy for me.
Ipsy designed the bag as a a real clutch almost like it is larger then usual and folds over at the top, yes it is crooked that is how mine was folded.
It is a pink fake suede with a grey mesh on one side and a rose gold zipper. It is very cute and functional just I would have preferred a different color even the severe of this color scheme.
Marc Anthony Haircare Deep Repair Aloe Vera Jasmine Conditioning Treatment
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $2.99
Sample Size: 50 ml
Value: $2.99
This is one of my favorite haircare brands, this particular treatment not so much though. This smells very strongly of jasmine which I really don’t like this is a little hard to rinse out of my hair. I can’t say that it repairs my hair but it does make my hair feel a lot thicker which I do really enjoy. I do not like this as much as I love the coconut and the argan oil treatments. I will use this all up though.
mPrincess Pressed Eyeshadow in Chestnut
Full Size: 1.7 g
Full Size Cost: $15.45
Sample Size: 1.7g
Value: $15.45
I think some one has lost their fucking mind. This is more than a Sugarpill shadow and almost as much as an Urban Decay shadow. Uhhh no, I would never spend that much on this. Besides that it is a very pretty chestnut brown color with some nice gold shimmer. It is fairly pigmented and very smooth. The packaging is cool with the way it swings out but it really doesn’t $15 impress me. Swatched below.
Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Vibin
Full Size: 6 ml
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 1 ml
Value: $3.33
This is a pretty color it is a nice wine mixed with brick red very deep. I find this will all the Tarte lip paints I have tried but it is pretty patchy but it has a nice moussey texture on the lips it does dry down but it is not transfer proof by any means.
Here is the eyeshadow and the liquid lipstick. Both pretty both will get used. Still Not $15 impressed with the eyeshadow.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator
Full Size: 2 oz
Full Size Cost: $79
Sample Size: 0.25 oz
Value: $9.88
This is such an expensive exfoliator. I will never buy it but I do love getting samples of it it is a very gentle exfoliator but it makes my skin feel really clean and exfoliated after using it.
Beau Gachis Tapered Blending Brush
Full Size: Yes
Value: $12
This is a super soft brush. I can ALWAYS use another soft blending brush I mean the 50 million I already have are not enough. It is a nice brush feels a little flimsy the way the bristles are in the ferrul but we shall see after I wash it the first time.
Tarte Frxxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser
Full Size: 1 oz
Full Size Cost: $22
Sample Size: 0.22 oz
Value: $4.84
I loved this so much from my January 2017 Sephora Play! bag that I used my points to pick up another mini instead of buying the full size right now. I am not going to add this into my value but figured Id break it down and show you what kinda value 500 points gets you it is just about $5 dollars I have noticed.
So far from the highest value I have ever had in an Ipsy bag but I genuinely like all the products and they are all in my wheelhouse so that was great curation on Ipsy’s part. I got 3 full sized products this month so I really can’t complain. I’m happy not blown away but very satisfied. What did you guys think of your Ipsy bags this month?
I’m thinking about doing a battle of the boxes type thing every month Idk any thoughts guys? Not that any one ever answers me lol.
