March 2014 ipsy Bag

So I got my March ipsy glam bag in the mail yesterday! I always get excited when I see that pink package in my mailbox (: It's like i'm a little girl getting a new barbie doll, well at least I was excited when I always got one. 

An ipsy glam bag is a subscription you pay $10 for every month that you can cancel at anytime or $110 for a full subscription of the year.  You get 4 to 5 products inside a cute makeup bag.  Some of the items they give you are sample sizes or full sizes.  If you love makeup and want to try anything thats out there, get this subscription.  It's amazing and such a good deal! 

Okay, now lets get started!

This is the makeup bag this month that all of my items came in.  It is adorable! 

These were all the products above that I got in my March ipsy glam bag.

(Nicole by O.P.I - $6.99 at Ulta)

In my ipsy bag, I got the Nicole by O.P.I nail color in "On What Grounds".  It is fro their roughles collection that is new. "On What Grounds" is a gorgeous turquoise color.  There are 3 other colors in the roughles line.  You also have a pretty light purple color (I'm Stucco On You), a pink color (Rock The Look), and a yellowish orangish color (Sand In My Shoe).  Where do they come up with these awesome names!? I did have to put two coats on my nails, but I would definitely check this line out.

(BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick - $18)

I got a sample sized BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in the color "Get Ready".  I have never tried the BareMinerals lipsticks before.  I never was a fan of BareMinerals at all, but this lipstick, I have to say I am a fan of.  It's a really pretty not so dark pink color.  It looks really nice for the spring.  Definitely try a sample of it! You can go find this lipstick here.  

(Pixi Mini Flawless Beauty Primer - $9 original size - $22)

The Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer evens the skin tone and gives your a youthful healthy glow.  You would put this on before your foundation.  The pearl extract ingredient in this primer protects your skin and is anti-aging.  It also hydrated my skin when I tried it out, gave me nice glow, and my makeup did stay on for a while.  You can find this product at their site, just click here.

 (Be A Bombshell Cosmetics eyeshadow - $16)

The last item I received was the Be A Bombshell eyeshadow quad in "Bora Bora".  I really don't play around with colors like these but I just love that red color and the copperish color.  They are very pigmented.  If you want to check the rest of the colors out, check on their site by clicking here. 

The total of all the items that I received in my March bag was $42.99.  I only payed $10 for this months bag.  It's a great deal what ipsy does.  Great subscription to get.  If you would like to get a subscription or check out the ipsy site, just click here.

This months glam bag was called "The Look of Love" based on Valentines Day for the month of February.

In my glam bag based on what I chose in my quiz, and also what was made for me I ended up with:

POP Beauty

Plump Pout Mini

I can't even tell you how excited I was to get this color in my bag.  I usually only wear lip gloss on my everyday look. The color I received is called "Fuchsia Freesia".  This lip gloss does not even feel sticky on your mouth and that's a big thing for me.  If it's sticky, it's getting thrown away!  The only down side to this lip gloss was that it smelled funny.  The price for the lip gloss at POP beauty is $16.

Tini Beauty

Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base in One

At first I wasn't sure how I was going to like this creme eyeshadow.  I love the color that I got, which is the color "Violette" which is a purpleish color, but I am not a fan of creme eyeshadow.  I gave it a try one day just to review it and it was easy to apply and went over my eye and was easy to blend well and it was a gorgeous color but if you went over it a little more, some of it would wipe off, so try not to go over it as much with your fingers especially.  It did stay on long though.  The price for this creme eyeshadow is $18.

These are swatches from both the POP beauty lip gloss and the Tini Beauties creme eyeshadow.  The pinky color on the bottom is the POP beauty lip gloss and on top of that is the Tini Beauty creme eyeshadow.  ( Sorry about the poor quality)

Zoya

Nail Polish

The color I received was "Dot".  I have never heard of Zoya before so I was not sure what to expect with this.  This nail polish is great and if I come across this brand again, I will make sure to definitely buy some other colors.  The price for this nail polish is $9.

This photo of the nail polish doesn't even do justice for how gorgeous this color is.  It is one of my new favorite spring nail polish colors!  I really recommend this to everyone!

J.Cat Beauty

Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue

I got these eyelashes in EL43.  I have yet to try these eyelashes out but I am so excited to try them out for a night.  I feel these are perfect for the night out.  This retails at $3.99.  I don't wear eyelashes, but I usually wear them on special occasions or if I am going out for the night with a bunch of friends.

skyn ICELAND

Fresh start Mask with Ice Age Mud

I do love to try out masks and I am so excited to try this one out.  You are only suppose to leave this one for 10 minutes and to do it once a week.  It re-texturizes your skin.  It is a detoxing and brightening mask.  There are two phases to this mask.  This mask retails at $39.00 for a full size but a little sample like this would come out to be $6.50.

All of my items came in this little makeup bag from ipsy which is such a great idea to store everything.

The value of this makeup bag came out to be $53.49! That is amazing for just spending $10 a month on a ipsy glam bag.  I would really recommend subscribing to ipsy if you really love your beauty products like I do!
