All good things must come to an end and the streak of amazing ipsy glam bags came to an end for me this month. Don’t get me wrong, the February ipsy Glam Bag was good, just not amazing.
February’s ipsy theme was “Get Red Carpet Ready”, which also happened to be Birchbox’s theme this month.
Have I ever mentioned that dark colored subscription cards / boxes and my iPhone don’t mix well? Yeah, I could use my big camera and be all fancy, but this is real life my friends. I’ll leave the fancy to the professionals.
As usual, the ipsy card contains information on discounts and not on the products in the box. ipsy has videos online showing you how to use the items and get that month’s “Look”.
Here’s what was inside this month’s bag:
~The Lash Card ($2.80): Word on the street is that these are awesome, but I gotta tell you, even I have figured out how to apply mascara without clumps. I do use a lash brush to separate my lashes and this claims to do that for you so maybe it is amazing? Heck, I’ll give it a try.
~ POP Beauty Smokey Lash Kapow Mascara ($12.58): I’ve never heard of this brand before (it’s out of the UK), but that means nothing. It’s waterproof, which I don’t normally love and people are saying it flakes off easily, but I will certainly try it out and see how it works for me.
~Coastal Scents Eye Shadow ($4): We received the same shadow palette back in the Octoberipsy gam bag, so I was kinda just meh about this. I mean, yeah they at different colors (one was the same) and I liked them, but still. I received the “In The Spotlight” set which included Dark Goldenrod, Sunbeam, Golden Globe and Dark Golden Olive (same as October).
~Pixi Flawless & Poreless($14.50): By far this is the item I am most excited in this bag! I have never tried anything by Pixi before and this seems like it’s a great match for me. It’s billed as a “Miracle-in-a-tube” primer that smoothes out fine lines & hydrates while making pores instantly disappear, which is totally what I need. This is going to fit right in with my efforts to wear more make-up, even when doing nothing!
~MicaBeauty Gel Eyeliner($30): There is no size on the container, so I really have no clue if this is the full size or not, but I am guessing it is. I am not thrilled by this at all because, to me, eyeliner is the tea of the cosmetics world. Enough with the eyeliner. It’s always black and I already have a ton!
~Black Make-Up Bag ($2): Once again I am valuing this at $2 because I know it has some value, but I have no clue what it is.
All totaled, the February ipsy Glam bag has a value of $65.88. Way way way more than the $10/month cost, but I just don’t love it. Last month’s bag was worth way less and I loved it way more. But yes, it’s clearly worth more than the $10 I paid, so I can’t complain.
