Two months in a row that Ipsy has knocked it out of the park with adorable bags.
I love the little makeup constellations!
And the little gold star zipper pull
So the bag is so damn cute let’s see how Ipsy did on actual products.
Luxie Brush 524T
Full Size: No
Full Size Cost: $18
Value: $9
So I can’t actually find this brush for sale anywhere it seems to be an Ipsy exclusive, which is pretty cool. It is a full size brush head and a short handle. This will actually be great for travel so I am not mad at not getting a full size brush. I am slightly mad at the fact that this seems inferior in quality to all the other Luxie brushes I own. This is just as soft but lacks the quality feel the bristles are not packed as evenly. I am estimating this brush to be half the price of the full size.
Delectable by Cake Beauty in Only Mint to Be
Full Size: 4 oz
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 2 oz

I LOVE delectable hang creams they smell so amazing and are very moisturizing. This one is a lovely mint cream smell that is like a vanilla peppermint candy its so holiday. MINTER IS COMING (well actually its here already).
theBalm Mad Lash
Full Size: 0.27 oz
Full Size Cost: $18
Sample Size: 0.08 oz
Value: $5.33
I have so many mascaras so another mascara sample is not exciting but I do enjoy theBalm products and the brush looks interesting. its very curled and long with short spikey bristles.
Absolute New York Matte Lipstick in Dark Red
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $5.99
Value: $5.99
This is a very nice matte red lipstick it is opaque with one swatch. And a matte lip is always the way to my heart. Swatched at the end.
Tini Beauty Eyetini in Firestarter
Full Size: 0.06 oz
Full Size Cost: $13
Sample Size: 0.06 oz
Value: $13
I could not get a picture of how pretty this is its creamy and build-able with shimmer. Its a copper golden shimmer with a very deep red undertone its just gorgeous. Swatched below.

The red undertones would not pick up on camera.
Total value of this months bag is $39.32 including my brush estimate and $30.32 if I do not include the Luxie brush. I have mixed feelings about this bag I liked it but there wasn’t any real wow products the eyeshadow and the hand cream are my favorite but there was no real wow. I received 3 sample sized products and 2 full sized products. At more then 3x the cost of the bag it is still a great deal.
