February 2014 Ipsy Bag

February 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey, guys! Here is a look at this month's Ipsy bag. 

The bag this month was just a plain pink bag. Simple and nice. I would use it. Included in this month's bag were the following 5 items: eyelashes, an eyeliner, a lipgloss, a blush, and a nail polish. Here's a closer look at the individual products: 

First, we have some J.cat Eyelashes in EL15. They aren't the most natural looking lashes. They're pretty glam, so I'm not sure they're something I would use. I tend to prefer more natural ones when I do wear lashes, even when I wear them with smokey eyes. We'll see what happens. 

Next, we have a full size Mally Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Liner in the shade Starshine. I was really excited to receive this in my bag this month. I've heard many wonderful things about Mally products, particularly the liners. I must admit the shade isn't my favorite, however I do think it would be nice on the lower lash line. It is incredibly creamy and glides on so smoothly. 

Next, is this POP Beauty lip gloss in the shade Peony Petal. It's a deluxe sample size. Very generous amount. It's a nice bright mauve-ish, pinky color. I will say though that it is a little bit on the drier side. The finish doesn't remain glossy for long, and it is a little drying on the lips. However, the gloss is very nicely pigmented so it's a so-so product. Not sure I would purchase it myself.  

Next, is this HUGE full size City Color Blush in the shade Fresh Melon. This blush is the size of a powder compact. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a mirror. I've never heard of this brand, so I looked up this product and found that it retails for $2.99 on their site. It's very inexpensive and you get a huge amount of product. It's a very pigmented blush, but it isn't the easiest to blend. It's slightly patchy, and I find I have to work somewhat harder to blend it nice and evenly. The color is really nice though, one of my new faves. It's so fresh looking on the cheeks. 

Last, but not least, is this full size Zoya nail polish in the color Odette. It's a gorgeous lilac purple shade. I normally don't like getting nail polish in my subscriptions, but I really liked the color, so I was definitely pleasantly surprised. 

So, there it is. I really enjoyed this month's bag. The products in it definitely surpassed it's $10 price tag. The liner alone is worth $15. Amazing deal! 

Bottom line: IMPRESSED!
